i was here nearly from the founding of this site. there are always a few people who see themselves as being more equal than others. when they don't get their way, they leave. as martha stewart would say 'it's a good thing.'

Reply to What happened to skin Moderation Lately??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

If you walk into a restuarant you expect to be treated a certain way, as you are the paying customer! The same goes for a boutique or ANY RETAIL/SERVICE establishment. Because this is online, it is NOT exempt from that. We all at some point paid for SOMETHING here! And maybe we should 'pay' for a customer service/treatment seminar for certain people as well.

Reply to Does ANYONE like MOO3 better than GalCiv? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

the moo3 forum is like a police state. you have gestapo-like moderators there enforcing "correct thinking". i loaded up the patch to moo 3 and played it and it is better but many other things were not fixed. the tactical combat is still a total waste of time fi. but the moo 3 forums are so rabid in fanboys with ocp and mods who are more interested in creating personal cults that i don't feel like i can make suggestions. and even if that hurdle was cleared theres the feeling that the dev

Reply to Tired the AI is cheating threads in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

well said fb. it's like a tiny group of nit pickers are trying to take control over everything. i would like to have features like being able to retire from a game. or surrender to an ai player. or sign a non aggression pack in diplomacy. or have more good and evil techs. or have more united planets issues. it pisses me off thinking that time might get taken away from that kind of thing because a few people are spazzing about whether one of the ai personas goofs up by missing a

Reply to 1.04 AI cheats on tech tree, gets free techs from nowhere (bug?) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

code monkey i find your attitude to be typical of the kind of people that spoil communities. nit picking gets old after awhile. i've been playing galciv since the beta and it's still fun even after all this time. in my games i've never noticed or found that the ai had any unfair advantages over me. maybe they got battle ships without one of the dozens of prereqs. i don't know. but it didn't affect my enjoyment. and like brad says they can look into it into the future. but if it went th

Reply to Trade Goods - what happened!?!?!? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

sure you don't have to have tack. and they don't have to update the game. they can proudly point to the editor choice awards the game got out of the box and call it a day. the updates we're getting are out of the goodness of their hearts. so you don't need tack but you could use wisdom.

moo forums not bad. moo moderators are gestapo wannabes. you don't see moderators here editing other people's posts. they act like galciv players are their enemy. it's a bunker mentality. don't they get it? we want to love moo 3. i bet there isn't a galciv player here that doesn't wish moo 3 was a great game. but qs blew it. they made a bad game and the apologists are deluding themselves and anyone willing to be convinced by their rantings. the best parts of moo were the ship c

stardock's incredible support! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

is it just me or is stardock's customer support just incredible? i've been involved with customer service on and off for 20 years and i have never seen a company so responsive to their customers. they make their game fully downloadable as an option to all users and then seem to have a massive staff of people from the development team answering questions. did anyone see the post where someone suggested directions on how to use galciv and in 10 minutes Brad writes it up, posts i

http://www.ina-community.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=279705&perpage=30&pagenumber=1 doing my thu night lurking on the moo forums to see if there's patch news. no patch news but the main moderator guy there was slammin galciv based on a beta he has. so then brad comes on and politely points out that it may not be the most polite thing for the people running the moo site to be putting down the competition on their own forum. then the moderator gets hysterical a

i'm not worried. i played the beta. so have a lot of us. beta testers weren't selected either. we're just a bunch of joes who pre ordered the game. i can tell you honestly that this is the single best strategy game i have ever played. here are my rankings: #1 galciv #2 SMAC (after patches) #3 MOO 1 #4 Civ 2 #5 SMGettysburgh #6 MOO 2 #7 Medieval: Totalware #8 civ 3 #9 HOMM 3 #10 Age of Wonders 2 galciv has a special trait b

Reply to MOO3's free ride with reviewers in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

np brad. you have real class. gamespot's one of my favorite sites. i was a touch outraged at how high it got; but your reasoning makes sense. if you assume the game is going to be patched so that the ai does stuff the rest of the game is mediocre but not terrible. with ai fixes i'd give moo a 7. but right now it's a 2.

Reply to Good post about moo3 vs GalCiv in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

galciv doesn't come with an alarm clock. i thought moo's inclusion of that was pretty presumptuious. later i was just p'd off that they spent time programming in an alarm clock for you instead of making an ai. galciv not being buggy is a big advantage. the public beta helped there. i think things would have gone very differently if they hadn't had an open to the public beta to help quash bugs early on.
