Cloud, you've totally misunderstood my intent. I admitted in the first message that you've been kicking my butt all over the Talking Mountains. This was only meant to be friendly banter - I make silly mistakes all the time (and I was genuinely curious to know if one could actually denigrate oneself - that's probably one of the few mistakes I haven't made.)
How is my behavior in the game unseemly? I didn't backstab you or anything - it was more or less openly stated that we couldn't come to agreement over the TMs and I am fighting you one-on-one - I didn't try to bring in allies to gang up on you. Honestly, I have been enjoying an uncomplicated fight (at least until the UN stole my villages - I've got my eye on you Jumpingfist - Hungry dragons are angry dragons!)

In a Warlords game, I had 3 of the Council seats, so I had standing orders for voting yes. So, when I accidentally moved to raise the Ancient Ones' influence, I did not think it was worth 6 orders to undo it, so I voted yes three times on my own mistake. Totally rocked.

I'm especially talented in luring an opposing group into the terrain best suited for my nation, outnumbering said group, having my wizards all fired up to go...then issuing orders to attack another group entirely Smile

This is why I don't talk smack. I have no talent for it.

I acknowledged that you were probably just trying to engage me in fun teasing, but it's not fun for me and I lack the skills to make it fun for anyone else. So continue to poke me if you like, just don't expect it to turn into a back-and-forth.

Yeah, the denigrate worked. I need to stop leaving my orders to the last minute. When I started, I slaved over my orders but as my abilities have improved, I've gotten into the habit of just pondering my orders then filling out the order form at the last minute. It's lead to a number of dumb mistakes. Denigrating myself has to take the cake, though.

I have been known to search non-existing unusual sightings instead of attacking pcs. Far too often.

I also have a bad habit of giving the same wizard more than one task. Of course, he always does the earlier (less important) one.

I moved a prince to the wrong city, an ally's, and then lost him when he attempted to usurp control instead of relocating. Of course my ally had a standing order to execute all prisoners...

I had a Gov on standing 310 order then lost the PC anyway. So I MEANT to remove the standing 310 order and issue a 320 but I mixed up 50 and 60 and instead added a second standing 310 order! I had to issue two 50's the next turn, when I really could have used the orders.

I do wish it would not add standing orders that do not work. I have had a standing order for order number 0 for awhile then I mistyped the cancel order so had to do it again.

I have done that too. I have also issued bogus standing orders and I have to stare at them every turn because I can't spare the orders to fix them.

Standing orders are the one thing I quadruple-check. Been burned too many times by making a mistake that then stares me in the face turn after turn.

It's been a fun game so far!
