In short, I do not go in to your threads well into a nice discussion and say "I agree with person Y because OB1 is a moron". That is what you did here. End of discussion.
There is nothing wrong with incorporating some of other people's opinions into your arguement if they help you explain your case.
No worse than you are. You act so superior but at best you are acting no better... though to decide who is one way or the other I'd have to rely on others since of course neither of us are a fair judge of it.
And I thought you were being intelligent by not saying anything and leaving... guess I was wrong. :(
It is incredibly, INCREDIBLY stupid for you to act like that. Look: who is arguing? Is it me and only me? No. It is you too. Yet it's all my fault because of course the great OB1 can do no wrong... um...
You have the nerve to say that you WEREN'T entering this thread for the sole purpose of bashing me? Do you really think I'm stupid enough to believe that? Look at your posts in this thread. What are the common themes? Let's see.
Now I'll quote all of your posts in this thread. It should be easy to see the common themes.
And last the one that I'm replying to here. Now, what do they have in common?
1) very short. Often less than a line.
2) all insult me
3) took things out of context or, when that doesn't work, made up facts to find excuses to bash me where the insults make no sense (see: your first post for starters, or your idiotic mention of a comparison to n64 games (which I notice that you ignored my effective reply to)). For inventing facts, look no further than the Morrowind arguement references. You pretty much say that I was saying that I didn't like Morrowind without playing it. That of course is not even remotely true, as I tried to explain a million times (to the response of your not caring that I could explain myself and more misrepresentation to keep your "case" going), but I won't go into that again...
4) no real points are made except to call me stupid 95% of the time.
5) related to #s 1, 2, 3, and 4, nonsensical comments that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. See: references trying to connect my opinion on N64 games to my opinion on Civ and SimCity. It makes very little sense as an actual arguement, but you don't even bother to try to prove it to even THAT level...
And finally, 6) creating arguements where they had not existed previously due soley to your intentional idiocy. This thread was going quite well and then you post sheerly to attack me... I do not do that in your threads. If the result is similar (arguement) it isn't because I intentionally post in your threads to anger you... at least not almost all the time. Generally it's because I'm trying to talk about the subject but you take what I am saying and twist it into something you make vehement statements about, which I can't help but try to rebut... the more I think about it the more I realize that with you the smarter approach would be to do like DJ mostly did and stop talking to you when you go into arguement mode. You will never listen anyway so all it does is gets people annoyed and wastes time...
Oh, if you'd like to try to refute that go ahead to go find some post of yours that I "ruined" by posting posts that were pure personal insults and had nothing to do with the subject at hand, but I really don't think that there are many, if there are any at all...
Quote:Again, this is you not forming an opinion on your own, but taking one from someone else. This is very sad and it's made me wonder if some of the idiotic things you've argued for in the past have actually been your own opinions.

Anyhow, you're an idiot. You know I'm right so you're acting like a child.
No worse than you are. You act so superior but at best you are acting no better... though to decide who is one way or the other I'd have to rely on others since of course neither of us are a fair judge of it.

Quote:Oh how the tables have turned! Your spend your entire time here trying to ruin my threads, and when I get a chance to do the same to do (though that wasn't my intention, and I've been the only level-headed one among the two of us here) you can't stand it.
Seriously, this is the same situation as the TES thing. GR is in the right.

Ah, but I digress, annoying ABF is fun because he's such a weird person.
Precisely!

Because you want me to go away, I'm going to stay right here. *stays right here*
Haha, good idea!
Quote:
This thread's boring. I'm leaving. *leaves*
... well that was quick.
Quote:HA! ABF is the one telling me that it's only his opinion that he likes Rush more than all of Rare's N64 games and that I should stop making fun of him for it, and now he's telling you that you're "wrong" for liking SC more than Civilization!
What a hypocrite!

Bad analogy. I have PLAYED the first two games of a three game series. You have played only the first one of a three game series. And, by your own admission, not much at all.
How's that an analogy?
Quote:
You are so incredibly desperate to take every possible line you can to attack me... it's so pitiful (and mean)... I thought it was assumed that we remembered some details of the previous arguement over this... such as how I said that he hasn't played much Civ. If he'd played a lot of Civ and still thought that then I'd ask 'why', but he hasn't so he doesn't have much to say except "I love SimCity". Which is obviously true but has little to do with comparing it to Civilization.
I have played many hours of those games you mentioned so I am quite well qualified enough to offer my opinion on the issue.
I just love pointing out your hypocrisy. You need some ego deflating.
And GR not having played Civilization for very long is still better than you liking those crappy games that you did play for very long.
Quote:Quote:
He was saying that the two arguements are the same... Arena/Daggerfall:Morrowind::CivI/II:CivIII. I said that the analogy is flawed. Then I went on to imply another thing: GR, if you've only played Civ I you can only compare it to SimCity. Not 2000 or 3000 or 4, only the first one. You could only compare the later ones if you'd played the later Civ games. And even then it's problematic because your knowledge of how great the later games are might influence your opinion on the first SimCity (which was pretty good, certainly, but had definite issues (Civ I did too, of course, compared to the later games in that series)).
They're not the same, but they're about as bad as each other. You constantly try to criticize games without having played them (morrowind, mgs3). Playing previous games in the series most certainly does not make it any better! Especially when there's such a huge difference between them. You're a much bigger fool than GR is.
Quote:
Civilization is one of the most beloved series on the PC and your insulting it with absolutely no basis is probably a new low for you even considering how low you have sank on previous occasions. Idiotic, so utterly wrong that I probably should not reply, and more proof that you care more about insulting me than you do about using your brain or considering what you are saying.
I wasn't calling Civ crappy, genius. I was referring to all of those crappy N64 games you like.

They are very similar to the third game, all accounts agree, just not as technically advanced and without the fully unique terrain... but whatever, we went over this already.
And you know this how? You never played the game, stupid!
Quote:
When the series doesn't change too dramatically playing past games definitely counts for something. Like, since GR has said that he actually has played Civilization some that means I should give some more credence to his opinion... not fully because he hasn't played the really good games in the series (like I said, think of it like SimCity 1 vs the second game), but definitely some.
It's the exact same situation, actually. The difference being that GR never said that the games he didn't play were bad. You DID.
