Darkstar Press Services - This just in! Yin26 was unmasked today to reveal that it is a virtual ID of Brian Reynolds! When asked why, Brian said that with the way everyone treats him and and Sid, that they can't share their thoughts on new strategies, gameplay, tactics, and more importantly, conversation using their official Firaxis identities. "While its nice that so many of our customers are nice, it does grow boring that no one is willing to disagree with us. So we started using virtual IDs. After all, this *is* the Internet." Brian Reynolds was quoted as saying. Rumor has it that Jeffrey Briggs and other members of the Alpha Centariu team not only practice this common Internet technique as well, but are some of the Forums most outspoken members. ****************** Happy Late April Fools! :-) -Darkstar |

Shiny! Don't tell me you re-installed the game yet! Did you? We gotta gut this one out together, man. CEO Benjamin, too. "Patch 4! Hear our Cry! No More Rangeless Missles / Pouring from the Sky!" [repeat until it hurts] Yin |

Hey! That was MY idea! (Ask Yin-we exchanged e-mail about this last week...) The only difference was that I was planning to make him Sid, not Brian... |

Ronbo, Dude, who are you? Just kidding...What my good man says is true. His idea. Darkstar, I must now regretfully add "Theft of Intellectual Property" to the list of crimes this one post is threatening you with. Retract it, Darkstar. Admit it's all a lie--or I'll send a pack of lawyers to...wait, wrong game. |

hmmm... that's odd, because i, as William Gates, have decided to sue Firaxis for protraying me as Nwabudike Morgan. I do NOT want to be a monopoly. I simply find that our competitors don't want to compete, or "play". |

Please can we not start this again the REAL Brian Reynolds is probably wallowing on some Carribean island lapping up the sun using his cut of the profits from SMAC. He definetly will not be listening in on this forum. The Fake BRYAN REYNOLDS is lurking around somewhere. Beware of him he is a complete freak. |

I vote that Bossman is Bryan Reynolds. No self-respecting gamer would ever call Bryan a freak. It could only be Himself practicing self-depracting humor. By the way Bryan, what Caribbean island are you on? Even though you're a freak, I'll go there and grovel. |
