A partial quote from a post by Axels:
MWC stands for noble cause and fair game. Your current position is a shining example of what's wrong with GROSS."
I realized 3 minutes after you posted that "polute this thread with silly claims" that in fact you'd just made one about you being ahead of us. LMAO foot in mouth #2. I thought about ripping you here for it but rejected that instead chosing to post it in our thread because I thought you couldn't handle it. But Now you make another totally silly claim to which I must respond:
That's an absolutely ridiculous statement regarding Staffa. I don't encourage score milking mainly because it will cause the player himself to become bored and quit. Ive posted it in our thread several times. I've also told you several times. But bottom line, It isn't illegal and it is up to the individual player how he plays. I do not have the authority to stop it. I will kick someone for cheating if it's proven he deliberately altered his game in such a way as to produce a higher score than is warranted from the stock version + any approved by stardock mods the player has. Playing an evil game does not allow you to cheat. That is our possition. Get it right in the future.
Staffa posted exactly how he did it and recommendations as to how Frogboy could adjust the scoring mechanism to hopefully prevent that very same thing in the future. Now who else would do that? We don't post our strategies anywhere else but here. We are one of the few empires that posts our strategies for everyone, not just us to read. Euros, and several others have their own sites which are not generally read where you post such things to be read only by themselves. In fact, you yourselves have such a site.
Staffa posted it for everybody when he could have just kept it to himself and milked it for all it was worth. Very few others besides the G.R.O.S.S. team would do that. Staffa didn't know it would milk the score, but he had a hypothesis, isolated a cause and proved it. Then posted it for all to get and try if they wanted. Staffa, did a service to us all as hopefully Frogboy will take his recommendations under advisement and change the scoring so as to stop that.
I'd say contrary to your assertion, Staffa illustrates the G.R.O.S.S. spirit and what is Right (not wrong) with G.R.O.S.S. and is a welcome new addition.
Well done Staffa. Well done.
It would seem that some just cannot handle things. You can certainly dish it when you're ahead, but you can't take it when you're behind.
You passed us once and you were all over this board with the junk. In fact, one of your members encouraged you on your website to come raise cain in our communication thread. We laughed it off. We didn't respond with any Ohhh you cheated. Nope. I just stayed up, got a game in as did EB, repassed you, kept you off the map, and promptly used your own smack talk to thrash you around.
You added Copernicus which vaulted you over us, the junk comes again. We added staffa, You again post the "We defeated them junk." and when called on it post sour grapes accusatios of foul play.
Perhaps you are just upset because everytime you post like a giddy lil school girl you've "beaten us" You end up puttiing ye olde foot in ye olde mouths??
But all these "That's what's wrong with Gross" "Oh they're milking." "Oh they're cheating" "Oh they will merge, change the name, then change it back and kick you out just for fun junk posts coming from you guys" sound like sour grapes to me. And none of them are even true. I responded the first time and got accused of bitterness. Now I know why? You accused me merely of being like yourselves, bitter because you are behind.
I did none of this. I did get on one of your members for lying in his post. That was warranted. Yet still no retraction. I doubt he's man enough to give me one.
Tell you what, Why don't we just disband G.R.O.S.S entirely since you obviously can't handle things. Sheesh. It's just a game. And a fun one at that. Why do you and a couple others have to ruin it for everyone? Why when you fall behind do you have to come out with the "GROSS is what's wrong with things junk? It's getting to the point where I don't wish to play anymore simply because of flippant idiotic untrue accusations and total hypocrisy. Total Sour Grapes from You Axels, Surther, and Idle.
