What feature is this?
As Yin and Uncleroggy has gone soft and cannot be counted on saying what they truly believe now, and as I always in principle always was on their side, I will take the role as the new forum bad guy for a short while so the forum won't be too boring...
Waiting for the police sentinels to appear....

Freddz,
Haven't gone soft. Just recuperating. Believe me, four broken ribs, a punctured lung and a ruptured spleen would slow anyone down. I guess those guys that did this to me were serious about me defining the word Smacofant. In any event, the doctor said that writing poetry would help me learn how to walk again
As ARNOLD says, "Don't worry, I'll be back".

[I'd like to dedicate this little Irish song to my good friend Freddz. Here's to you...]
There once was a game called SMAC:
I begged and pleaded "Please take it back!"
"It's not done!" I said.
"If this were a hamburger, it would MOO!"
They just lauged
and giggled
and gave a cackling "Boo-Hoo!"
I found out later they were computer geeks,
rejected DNA from the sperm of freaks;
they loved all the pointles clicking
clicking and a
clicking and
CLICKLE DIDDLE DEE!
"Clicking! Me-a-like-a-clickin' Look-at-ME!"
Those puny little SMAC-a-Tweebes!
I let the air out of their little, faggy tires (no offence to the gay).
I changed their File Allocation Tables from 32 to 16
(O.K.--I admit: that was mean).
I was mad. What more can I say?
Little BASTARDS! Laugh at me...
For God sakes--My cat's smarter than LAL:
Pinch his ass and at least he'll meow!
I've had more fun freeze-drying my own limbs
than playing this sorriest excuse of the sorriest of sims.
I'd like to call it the screen saver from hell--
The only problem, of course, is that screen savers play twice as well.
I use the CD for a coaster.
I've cut a roll of toilet paper from the Aplha Centauri Technology poster.
"Super Tensile Solids--Build 10"
Well I'm dropping one now, Firaxis, my friend.
I roll torn pages of the manual and smoke a little crack.
(well, that, at least, brings SOME fun back)
Never mind that it's illegal in 55 states.
Look at the problems SMAC creates!
It's the game of the feeble minded--
fun to the weak and blinded.
The weak because it's easy to win.
The blind because they'll never read
Oh no! No indeed,
This little ditty by witty nitty Yin.

And please before you send me a flame
Yes, I know, it's simply a game.
cousLee posted 03-13-99 09:40 AM ET
ummm, do you feel better now yin?????
Doctor D posted 03-13-99 02:30 PM ET
I thought that the forum got wiped would put an end to this ballyhoo. Nothing new, we had all this already. It just gets boring.
He calls himself yin26
And says that AC needs a fix
Brother Greg wondered why
Told him what he should try
Since that time we are bearing yin's pricks
(inspired by uncleroggy)
Rong posted 03-13-99 02:35 PM ET
Well done, Doc.
Shining1 posted 03-13-99 07:23 PM ET
Yin's industry woes are now plain
And SMAC is becoming his bane
Said Yin: "Fix it NOW!"
"And I don't care how!"
Cos that was the cause of this pain.
Then Greg came along and replied,
"Have you fixed all the pieces inside?"
Yin's flaming was violent
And Bee Gee was silent
Till Yin tore a piece off his hide

Now Greg isn't known to doubt
And calmy rebutted Yin's clout
"You blame the wrong men:
It's the system not them...
Do you know what you're talking about?"
Yin's anger then suddenly rose:
"Greg manner just gets up my nose."
"You show in this forum
That you think I'm a moron -
I'm certainly not one of those!"

They saw that this worsened the piece
All this fighting and flaming must cease
"Greg don't get upset -
I'll explain what I meant."
Said Yin with an offer of peace
Though now it be late in the hour
Let us end this dumb fight for power
Please forgive us our wrongs!
Can't we all get along?
Lest we leave with a taste that is sour.

(The best I could do under short notice )
Freddz posted 03-13-99 09:17 PM ET
Ah well, nice to see you guys See this have turned out to be a pretty poetic thread. Quite brilliant poetry it seems. "So be it" the wicked said.
UndertakerAPB posted 03-14-99 09:05 AM ET
I believe I was probably the first to commend Yin26 and unclerology for releasing there views in a very powerful way.
When I posted the first topic about realism in this game the first day it came out, I was pounded into the ground with no bi-partisanship what so ever.
But now having some powerful allies like Yin26 and unclerlogoy and you too Freddz, I feel alot more comfortable than before.
Keep up the good posts and use your freedom of speech to it's maximum potential.

DEVIL'S ADVOCATE,
Undertaker

Undertaker,
I remember those days. Enemies to the left of us. Enemies to the right of us. My how times have changed!
CALL TO ACTION!
Undertaker, you take the bunker on the hill.
Freddz, you've got the machine gun nest.
Shiny, disarm the 20 kiloton bomb (9 seconds and counting).
Cleroggy, you've got tank experience. Go steal a tank and back Shiny up on the bomb disarming thing.
Me, I'm gonna cross-dress as a mind worm and try to deliver a pizza to Jeff.
FIRAXIS AND ALLIES--The War Has Begun!
yinininininininbore posted 03-14-99 08:25 PM ET
YAWN!!!
Boring!!!
This is worse than waiting for the european patch.
Which is now availiable by the way.
Just not here.
Too bad I ve already changed to the US terran.exe and run the US patch.
Why two versions anyway? Sounds like a way to keep more programmers in jobs to me

yin26 posted 03-14-99 08:32 PM ET
yinininininininbore,
You have latrine scrub detail...here's your toothbrush. Hut 2, 3, 4!
Shining1 posted 03-14-99 09:12 PM ET
UndertakerAPB: Yeah, I remember the thread on realism in SMAC. Seemed to concern some highly irrevelant points that had no effect on gameplay (in many cases, implimentation of those ideas seemed to be detremental to enjoyment). We've all got our pet peeves about the game (me combat system, combat graphics, air unit cost balancing), not to mention some of us who have BIG problems with actually playing the thing at all (not me ). But IIRC you (or at least someone in that thread) were complaining about the turns not being half a year long and that the faction leaders didn't get old and die (amoung other minor points). Which, I believe, it was correct to state were irrelevant issues.
Hmmm. Allies. Perhaps:
PESTILENCE: UndertakerAPB
FAMINE: Freddz
WAR: Uncleroggy
DEATH: Yin26

Very Nice!
