I think bullies in the game are kinda like weight lifters. The lack somthing but I just cant bring it to mind.

I am sure glad the NA helps the new players. To bad that some of the old players feel threatened. I wish I had thier resorces to fight back.

Ahem . . . yes, well . . . ahem.

I counsel that such troops be mindfully killed, in the future. ;-)

How about a "nobless oblige" engine in the game, Mickey? Big dogs would be obliged to perform some pro bono work, provide for the common weal by way of philanthropy, or, barring a willing spirit in such matters, pull scullery duty for a week. ;-) Either that or, with the writer of Ecclesiastes, they'd fall into a sullen reflection on the futility of their acquisitiveness and mope about considering the folly of it all -- effectively neutering them as a force in the world (further wisdom in this vein from Dr. Seuss' The King's Stilts). We want the wealthy to end up asking "what good is it all?" -- which will give us greedly little pups the break we need to make a killing in the market as they schedule a session with the game's official shrink (still to be culled from among the players -- the shrink, himself'/herself, would be performing their community service so might fall into the selfsame funk).

Hey! I broached a Google hapax! "selfsame funk" is an original phrase. Cool! ;-)

Thats close to the real world Rasqual.

Well then it is even closer. Mike has a good point. Though it will fall on deft ears being the deft ears are the ones ha is talking about.

that is funny...but isn't there another thread for people to post rediculous replies on in the attempt to impress everyone else with thier useless knowledge of junk that no one cares about?
maybe you should find your way there rasqual..

Don't worry about it. There apparently other people who feel that the game is no fun with me in it. So in keeping with my goal of helping Mickey make an awesome and fun game, I have retired. I'd rather quit than to have to read another PM accusing me or any other moderator of cheating. It's simply not worth it.

I'll still hang around the boards, but as for GE War, I am done. I have asked Mickey to give my armies a proper burial at sea.

Nope. I've already been accused of cheating. I don't need new PM's accusing me of giving users preferential treatment.
