Ammon you dont do youself any favors at all
There are plenty of people who could out do your tragic gold use time and time over. The immature bragging, even though you may mean it as a joke is ridiculous.
Mojo, he doesn't need to restore his diginity, he needs to restart his account and pretend Ammonjerro never existed.
Ammon, I see you wrote something about people still willing to take you on board... as what? A promise you will spend 22hours a day online and go mad on gold spending?? Yea I will openly admit I use gold, for whatever reason through impatience, having a job that pulls me away from the computer but seriously? 20k gold is a normal person wages for a day. All these people will do is look at you in disgust and be even more inclined to reject you, gang up on you and being honest pity you.
The mods say yea no problem it brings activity to the forum, which clearly it does, but rather than bragging about how many times you can access your paypal account per week, try to gain the interest of a game, be attacked and accept you may lose a city, accept you will lose your troops. I mean the whole spending gold to downgrade your cities... thats downright sore loser.
Isn't the whole point to lose a city and then fight back for it?
