When I say no more trolling I mean it

[General Quigley]

Klobber is one of Conquer Club's star players. We should congratulate him, emulate him, even perhaps offer to pay him for lessons on how to play. However, I see poor Klobber being constantly maligned and disrespected in the forums. What is particulary distressing to me is to see a site moderator (who should be on his knees worshipping at Klobber's shrine) persecutuing poor Klobber when he is only trying to advise those of us with less experience on how to handle a difficult situation.

This disrespect for Klobber, I have ben observing, comes from two classes of his inferiors:
1) Jealous, lower ranked players (those who say he mostly plays newbies, yet never supply statistics or even specific anecdotal examples to back such claims)
2) Mental inferiors, such as power corrupted moderators like Wicked, and now, it seems, lancehoch. In fact, lancehoch's disrespect of Klobber takes a pattern very reminiscent of Wicked's: for example, abusing his authority to lock down forum topics when he loses discussion points to Klobber. How is it that Klobber always seems to have the facts on his side and always comes across as being more reasonable and enlightened than his detractors? One has to wonder if Wicked has perhaps infiltrated Conquer Club's security and begun operating under the lancehoch name, or are these two just extremely close, personal friends?

Sniping at Klobber, locking forum topics and banning the poor guy just to "win" forum arguments, and even then picking on him in play by joining his games and gunning for him but still losing only serves to magnify Klobber's achievements and make them appear that much more impressive. Klobber accomplishes more than anyone else at this site, and he does it against incredible odds, against stiffer opposition and more mean-spirited snipes than anyone else; he even wins despite moderators' abuse and under jealous peer adversity. No one in the history of Conquer Club has managed so much under such difficult circumstances.

People should be ashamed of themselves for abusing Klobber in these forums. Please, lancehoch, stop threatening Klobber and trying to silence him. We all stand to benefit so much from the wisdom he freely dispenses here in the forums. Instead, you (and indeed all of us) should be taking notes on how Klobber does what he does so well. It's long past time we gave the man his due. Long live Klobber!

Wow. Speaking of trolling...

Whose multi are you ?

Trolling? Because I express admiration of Klobber's play and ask for the unfair persecution (from a site moderator, no less!) of this military genius to cease? Is offering congratulations to superior players so unheard of here at Conquer Club that people assume one must be trolling? What does that say of the atmosphere Conquer Club claims to promote?

I think we would all benefit from a more collegial atmosphere here in the forums combined with a friendly exchange of playing tips in which we ask superior players (such as Klobber, a man who writes well and expresses himself well, by the way) to tell us how they accomplish what they do. Sorry if you're so unused to seeing a positive post like mine that you can't accept it for what it is.

I don't really see your post as an example of how things should be, at least not given that you look to Klobber as a role model. I suspect that there are quite a few old-timers and quality players that won't share your high opinion.

That said, it's your opinion. However, we're both off topic now. This is about a different player's abuse. Klobber hijacked the thread. And we made it that much worse.

So, let's just leave it at that and let Lance and the hunters do their jobs.
