Author Topic:   Yin For Hire: Details Inside!

Having reached SMACceptance a few weeks ago, I just haven't been myself lately. I'm actually being, in my way, a productive member of this forum these days. That bothers me.
Then, just yesterday, the answer presented itself: I can be productive AND Yin and the same time! How? Glad you asked:
If you look at the "CtP Gets Perfect Score" thread (thanks Imran), you'll see what I'm proposing. Some complete idiot posts something on the order of "I hate that Gay U.N. Charter," and what are you supposed to do? Clearly you want to argue, but to what level should you have to sink?
As you can see from that thread, Pique almost lost sight of who he is and why he likes SMAC. If drastic measures hadn't been taken immediately, who knows if he would be with us today. I would like to believe that my "Firaxis' Greatest FAILURE: The Design Workshop," which is dedicated to Pique, helped him restore the balance in his psyche, helped him focus and once again resume his God-given duty of defending the game he loves so much. Good to have you back, Pique!
This got me to thinking. I should provide this service whenever needed. Say, for example, the next SMAC SUX! post comes along. It might even have a few good points, but responding to it would just tarnish your good standing and maybe even drag you into a flame battle with a complete fool.
This is when you need to call upon Yin.
Simply post here or on the main board something like, "Yin, can you post something about the terraformers? See post [such and such]. Thanks." Upon receiving such a request, I'll study the material and produce a classic Yin-esque slam of SMAC. It will give you just enough reasoned arguments to work with but contain all the irrationalities and biting sarcasm you've come to expect from me.
You'll be able to intelligently defend SMAC without fear of getting dirty or--like Pique--confused about your place in the Cosmos.
Act now and as an added bonus I'll post under a new name each time, giving you that, "Gee, who's THAT idiot" feeling!
My Company Motto: "SMAC: Get Yinto the Spirit."*

DON'T DO THAT!!!
That's an illegal pyramid shaped multi-level markting advertisment! It won't work.
Trust me! I've tried it out. Yin Corp. said I would get 2000$ in only one week. So I did was they mentioned in their letter an sold my house and car for 2$ to the one on top of the list. But all I've got after spending a week under the bridge was $4.20 and an old shoe. So don't trust this system! Please send this mail to anyone you know and anyone at your Internetprovider and carbon copy one to [email protected] to warn everybody!
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

P.S.: :-p

We might be Yinterested Yin Yintertaining your Yinnovative proposal. Yindeed, using Yin could Yinsure that flame wars do not escalate Yinto Yinternational Yincidents.
Kudos to the most generous Yin. +1 minerals in every square!

Can I hire you Yin to post arguments against yourself?

I'd like to see an argument in favor of planet-buster use in Kosovo...

I second the Arguing yourself stuff. Maybe start with two podiums and two Yins debating how blah blah blah (please fill in) SMAC is. I'll go make some popcorn now.

Yin, will you take a job to whack a certain weiner dog that seems to be working for Firaxis?
