Conquer Club

Is anyone else SICK AND TIRED of players who threaten other players with nuclear weapons?

Frequently I'm in a game and close to winning and another player will say they have atomics and if I don't stop advancing they'll use them on me. Naturally I'll stop, but then they invariably come back and hit me in the junk and I end up losing.

I would like to suggest a new rule prohibiting these kind of threats in-game. They are non-productive and contrary to a spirit of cooperation and casual game play.

I have never had a player say that to me.

What the hell does it even mean? A large stack?

ah kitten, dont be affected by these threats. it will only ruin your game

I wholeheartedly support this useless waste of a thread.

I especially like the fact that it's not even funny.

better than biological weapons really.. i mean...you never know what those will do to you.. at least with a nuke its over quick..if youre close enough to the blast.

well maybe if you cant handle cc you should play monopoly or something like that

A M A Z I N G!

I, too, am sick and tired of threats of nuclear proportion. All these threats do is to proliferate fear, anxiety and a cold feeling of hopelessness. I lose every game in which I feel threatened by nuclear attack because my fingers freeze up due to the frigidity of my perceived situation.

What can we do to stop such despots?

Wolffy~

a nuke can ruin a country for decades

Agreed. This thread is extraordinarily worthless. You have to go out of your way to write something this bad. I've made some pointless posts in the past, but at least the might have been funny or something, this is just Grade A, 100% premium choice garbage.

Yes, during a fogged game revealing your own stack - sometimes as a faux reveal - to intimidate other players. Sorry if that needed clarification.

If you're looking for a G-D stand-up routine maybe you can ask Carrot Top and Dane Cook to run a train on you? (Again.)

I'm trying to facilitate a serious and thought-provoking discussion about threatening use of stacks in fogged games. If it's not worth your time to contribute in a cooperative and mature way to this thread perhaps your energy would be better focused on seeking out discussion opportunities that would provide you the types of interaction you feel are worth that investment?

Thanks, Georgerx7di!

Yes, it really did.

Oh btw, if you write something as obviously banal as 'A table has four legs' adding the laughing icon doesn't automatically make it 'a funny'. In fact, I think all members should avoid adding a at the end of all attempted jokes. I am of the opinion that the immediately disqualifies the statement from being a joke. It is rather like when someone says 'I've got this really great joke' and laughs during the telling. It makes me want to stab them in the eye with ice pick at the best of times. That's how I view the self-congratulatory If you feel absolutely forced to add an icon a subtle, mildly flirtatious is usually the best way to go.

Mr. Changsha: I can tell you've been saving this monologue for quite some time, cherishing with foresight the opportunity at which you might one day be able to use it.

Unfortunately, since (1) I've never used the "laughing icon" in any of my posts, and, (2) this thread is a serious thread and not a "joke", pulling out this "trump" card of yours - as frayed and yellow as it may be - is at best premature and, at worst, a little off-kilter.

I hope you will continue to proactively seek-out opportunities to enrich and enhance your self-esteem but, in the future, do so in a non-nuisance, cooperative way that does not distract or otherwise derail the discussions of others.

In the future perhaps a better tact in approaching threads you do not understand or comprehend would be to make the choice not to participate, instead of jumping in full-bore, loudly chest-thumping and swinging about from vines. Don't you agree? I'm sure you do.

Thanks, Mr. Changsha!

Priceless. So if someone criticises you they are being uncooperative and immature? I read your thread yesterday and was simply unable to work out if you were attempting to be serious, funny, irreverent or just plain 'wacky'. I had no idea what your point was at all. On the most basic of levels, if your reader is unable to even understand the point of what you write then your post should be considered garbage.

However, your standard of writing compared to a lot of the recent contributors to GD is actually a breath of fresh air. There are a few I am convinced must be using English as a second language, though they maintain they in fact aren't. You can spell! You know what a comma is! If you can just get your head out of your arse and realise your thread was a complete failure and move on, then I predict a fine future for you in CC Land...

Ok this maybe does need a rather self-deprecating at myself. The first line was aimed at you, the rest was referring to targetman and kylegraves. Yes, I am well aware you weren't using emoticons but I was simply too lazy to double quote and all that jazz.

Mr. Changsha - I didn't have time to read your whole speech but if you'd like to bullet-point it I'll give it the once over.

Thanks, Mr. Changsha!

You can't handle 100 words??? I miss flamewars. The retards used to just get sucked into it.

I'm sorry you've made the choice to feel that way, Mr. Changsha.

As a professional in this field, I feel safe in counseling you that you would find greater personal satisfaction if you simply choose not to participate in threads that disinterest you instead of participating but loudly announcing your disinterest every few moments.

I know many of us appreciate the self-appointed discussion ombudsman in the forums but perhaps there are other threads that could better benefit from your spirit of volunteerism?

I'd like to now return to a tempered, mature, rational and polite discussion of public stacking in fogged games and move away from this derailed line-of-thought.

Thanks, Mr. Changsha!
