Wow. Now your getting racist on the forums. That's great guys. The exact character I spoke of which is how this thread got started.
You know this is my mistake. I thought that tearing down my city, and not providing you the battle points for culture in an effort to pigeonhole you and stunt your growth was a great strategy. While your enemies take over 6000+ point cities and loads of culture you got only a 3k city and no culture. Just a city you have to grow with no harbor to get off the island for a while. Even the most beginner of players knows that each new city level requires an increasing amount of culture each time, thus retarding the growth of your city. If I can't beat you, then I try to retard your growth so your enemies may get a jump on you for your enemies are my allies. I even got a colony ship off during the attacks too make up for my lost city. Great strategy in my mind.
This forum was also part of my strategy as I was here to petition potential alliance members away from you alliance for lack of character. Especially the lack of character shown by bigskyguy.
The part that I guess that I didn't understand is that this is a war game. And wile roshamboing a player is OK because it is a war game, to use every resource and strategy available to you such as the gold or the forums is not OK. You see that's the part I was getting hung up on. Not that it is a war game. I get that. I just didn't understand that in a war game you should do just as you enemy wants and expects you to do. How dumb of me. Don't get caught up on the wording of the previous posts guys because you know you got the point.
Now I am definitely a quitter, a coward, and a crybaby who is playing sims and you know this because of my response to bigsky in the messages he sent me that I posted earlier. He broke three grepo rules before I even started posting here. Making any attempt to prevent another from playing the game or any attempts to prevent a player from using gold or commenting on their use of gold is strictly prohibited. More of you sent me insults through private message which is also strictly prohibited. I easily could have contacted grepopolice and put an end to the battle as they would have booted a good number of those players and ended the battle/communication between us. But now I see your point, I am a crybaby for still wanting to play the game myself.
I honestly did not think that my strategy would result in racism on the forum. I had already been having the thoughts this morning that it is time to end this as I saw Abigaill'+s post. And not because it was so shocking and upsetting to me or anything like that but more for the pure stupidity of it. You see at this point we are all just throwing insults at each other and doing things that are not going to get just me or bigsky booted, but to get all of us booted. And the fact is that while I'm a big boy and can take care of myself (otherwise I wouldn't start a forum that is going to result in the silence of my supporters while others like you flame me as hard as you can), there are others who see this, that are turned off from what we are saying and doing at this point and it either hurts them or makes them not want to play. After having spent the day at work thinking about this and then coming home to see the MLK comments I have come to realize that my decision is the only reasonable one.
As you leader I again choose to do the only thing that will protect you my friends. I am going to ghost myself and my account so that there is really no more reason for any of us to continue to post here or for any one other than me to get booted. As I explained before I was not looking to get people booted, and apparently, I started this all by using gold and these forums as a tool for my gaming.
I do leave you with this one last suggestion bigsky. The next time you run into a battle where you are not going to get what you want. Instead of trying to get immature with other players perhaps you need to examine your efforts and determine if they are leading you where you want to go. You see much as I am doing right now, sometimes you need to admit that you are fighting a battle that might not have been as prosperous as you had first thought and the outcome might take a turn down a road that you don't want to go down. When you put yourself in a position where you can be booted just for your own pride, and you do get booted, then you leave your alliance high and dry. Next time a better choice might be to actually contact your member, discuss with him the situation that you have discovered on the city he plans to take over, and if it is not what he wants but you feel you still need to take it to prove your point, then you take the damn city yourself and do it without the threats, insults, and encouragement to the rest of your alliance to contact someone and hassle them through private message. That is how a true leader behaves.
To my former alliance, pact allies, private allies, and friends. I have the same lesson to learn as bigsky does. I should have acted as part of the alliance/group instead of acting on my own damn pride, and stayed in the alliance and allowed you to defend me. And now I know why you are upset about it. I thought I was doing best for you but now I realize that I left you high and dry and now you are stuck fighting a fight I began and in a crippled state having lost me.You must understand that bigsky and others where already messaging me when I quit. He just couldn't handle the strategy. But I know that you are strong. One of you although hesitant will make a great leader and you know who I am talking about. I know you are new and hesitant but your a natural. I don't want to mention your name as I don't want to mark you. You guys will be alright as long as you pick up my allies I have sent you way during the game. These guys although not all a part of an alliance helped me and you a lot (silently and slyly I may add). The one alliance has a leader who is hungry and his personality fits the group. If you invite "sword" (i hope you know who I am referring to) he brings some support. There where also some guys close to one of my former cities that had contacted us regarding a farming mistake. I never had the chance to communicate with them but if you use the techniques I taught you they will join. You just need to view their contact as a request to join. Remember, I didn't build that alliance you guys did, I just introduced some people to each other, that's all.
Lastly to the people emailing me kind words. Thanks. I know it appears that I am getting verbally beaten up hear but CnoteG is just a character. I'm not heartbroken over any of this.
Now as some of you might like to say, I will run off crying to go play my sims. Although it is not my lost city I cry over. I cry over the fact that I found this awesome game but have come to realize that it is ruined by people that will forever follow me and private message me (very annoying even to just delete) and I just can't be the guy who runs to the internet police. Oh yeah, and since I know everyone else loves this one I'll throw it out there one more time. I don't play the sims. Tried 'em. Boring. What happens. Nothing. Love em anyways.
I am CNoteG, The Mighty. Tremble at my passing and if you're lucky all I will do is pass you by. To those that are unwise and catch my attention I will pity you as I destroy you. for those that really know me will tell you truer words have never been spoken.
I have heard this before and it needs to be said now more than ever. Chris this is going to a bad place. Could you take it down please.
