This really is just crazy. I'll just defend the accusations I guess but I feel silly doing it, I feel like I'm on trial in the great purge of Stalin. This is an unpleasant result of my first game on Conquer Club Lifeless, you're better than this.
-Suspected Multi:
Multi with who? There was nobody in that game that played "on my side" - all three of you even ganged up on me actively (which was the right thing to do of course, I was really starting to gain some power by that stage).
My personal thoughts are that there's no fun in winning if you cheat. Games are about testing yourself against others and having fun - cheating robs you of both. It's hollow and pointless, so I don't do it - I want real satisfaction, that's the good stuff.
-Talks like a robot:
I don't know why Lifeless thinks this, I am guessing because I type full words/sentences and use all punctuation. I'm a professional typist (I type 95wpm) so it's just natural to type in full for me. If Lifeless means because of the words I use (that I "speak" like a robot) then all I can say is that I speak as I speak. It's a little formal, but you are who you are.
-Spoke about bad rolls in other games:
This is the exact quote: "I normally get terrible rolls - looks like all the stored up luck's come in at once."
I play "Risk II" by Microprose on my computer - I've had this for years and love the game. This is what I was talking about - I pointed that out a couple of minutes later in the game.
Talking about bad rolls, if you play Microprose Risk II and feel that you get bad rolls, I've researched the net (after tearing my hair out) and it is suggested in a number of places that the dice numbers are not from a "Random generator" but actually a cycle through 1-6 that stops when you click 'roll'. So patterns are feasible. I don't know if this is true, after all we tend to remember the bad rolls but quickly forget the joy of a bunch of good rolls. But it's an interesting theory about Microprose Risk II.
-Maybe I'm wrong and he's just a big weirdo though
Here's the real issue - I absolutely stomped that game, made a mess of Lifeless. It was partially because of fortunate rolling, partially from a good plan, and partially because Lifeless and ffgamer9 played poorly early in the game, extending themselves beyond their defensive abilities. For a lieutenant, Lifeless played poorly and this response is childish, just a distraction for himself from his loss against a "newbie" (I've been playing Microprose Risk II for years so I don't think this "newbie" title is very representative of my skill).
I hope this puts your mind at ease Lifeless, feel free to play me again anytime - you stand a good chance, I did get great rolls in that game but I'm a decent player. You're obviously talented so it will be good fun.
Cheers mate,
