... You're not likely to get a response. He's a total of 4 posts here on the boards.

... I've grown to really like the guy. He's comic relief! Even as absurd and insulting as he is, he's just so ridiculous you have to laugh!

... apologies for the multis, but I've begun to think that maybe... perhaps... Dugcarr11 is actually a very normal, highly intelligent, hard-working and upstanding citizen - perhaps a pillar of the community and avid volunteer worker...

... He pisses me off so much sometimes in games (in a fun and humorous way) that I am sorely tempted to say, "Screw victory! I'm just going kill this bastard! Even if I lose everything!" .... and of course, that works to his advantage. Strategy. Psychological warfare. .... maybe

... Did SunTzu not say, "When odds of victory seem long, hurl not arrows and bolts at your enemy, but instead bombard them with ridiculous taunts, foul language and poor grammar". (?)

.... Okay, I made that up. :wink:

I still don't understand what the big deal is with making secret alliances? In real life there are secret and non-secret alliances? What is the reason for the no secret alliances rule? Everyone can make them so its not like it putting any one person in a particulary huge disadvantage.

maybe you could have people PM other players in the same game asking for a secret alliance...only that the person proposing a secret alliance is a SPY. that would work out right nicely...

I'm not big on this idea, for two reasons:
1. It would constitute entrapment. what's entrapment? see http://www.lectlaw.com/def/e024.htm or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrapment
2. I think it is disrespectful towards honourable players. Like employee drug tests, it would harm the level of trust between players and Conquer Club.

yes, i know entrapment would happen. i just didn't know what to call it or how to describe it as a con. some people may not have wanted to before, but then they finally accept for the first time

Dug is upset with PM cheaters because what he fails to grasp, is that by being a player of his 'suggestive qualities' leads other players to despise him, and therefore attack him to get him out of the game.

Its not a cheat dug, Its people who no longer care about the outcome of the game and just want to see your dictorial arse out of the game (plus your spelling is the worst I've ever seen - and I can't spell either)

ya know what would be funny is if every one who joined dugs games ysed regular chat and teamed up on him from the beginning he would freak reading it in public chat and nothing to do about it
