Don't take it so thick man - it's all just a bit of healthy banter. Besides, the forums wouldn't be interesting if we did not have the characters we do.

Btw, other people are entitled to an opinion as well you know. What are you - a spoilt brat used to getting their own way all the time? :roll:

Probably... But I don't know. I got issues being told what to do when I'm fully aware of what I'm doing as well as the potential consequences/results. Maybe it's my recent personal circumstances involving parents-in-law :-s ... but I digress.

I readily defer to others when I am clearly at an experience or expertise disadvantage, or when I need to be part of a team with a clear leader, co-operating to achieve a goal. If I were being "advised" by someone of captain or greater status, who has 100 games or so behind him/her, I wouldn't have made a peep about it. Essentially I felt I was being bossed around by a punk with a very mediocre record. It's unadvisable to assume superiority when one is unsure of the where others rank.

Maybe I can shut up about it now. Sorry if this is booooooring or trite.

I can completely understand. I've played many Mafia games that require a lot of strategy, and people will be telling me that I'm doing something stupid and then when (and if) I tell them why I'm doing it they are all like "ooooooooo". I think people should keep their opinions to themselves. If you were generals in a real battle, would you be sending a letter to someone else telling them how to command their army's? I think not...

hatchman wrote:Also, is it legal for players to make agreements not to attack each other? I was in a game where someone said, "If you don't attack me, I won't attack you."

I think it's legal, but I wouldn't recomend it. I've had to many games (not just here and not just online) where people break what they say, or else the game is ruined at the end. I think it's legal, but fairly stupid. :P

Yeh, sorry hatchetman - I just realised that I made my last post a little too personal - didn't come out as intended. :oops:
