Status: offline 		Hi, The reason a number of people stick with the game is that as is it is playable. But most importantly we have been here from the beginning. Helped in it's creation and since it's introduction been able to through our input modify the product. Version 2.30 is nothing like version 1.00 The versions that followed were not simple bug fixes but introduced totally new features. Changes to the program are occurring everyday in WITP and will be added to UV. So we don't view UV as a done deal the way others might. We don't forgive the bugs and other issues but we know they are not permanent. Meanwhile the game is playable. I've finished several complete 600+ turn PBEM games without one bug impacting the results. (I've had a lot of PBEM games that required 'do overs' of turns impacted by bugs, but then the remaining turns functioned correctly.) It's just a question of expectations, good PBEM partners and patience.
The game provides a lot of education into the subject as well as being fun to play. There are people who get totally wrapped up solely in results. Then there are people who enjoy being part of the creation process.

I have at times been one of the foremost critics of this game. A "bug" that I was able to identify led to patch 2.11. I was glad to contribute to the effort at improvement. Your comments here are misguided and mean.

[QUOTE]There are reasons why this game is obscure at best. That is reality. If that observation of fact makes me a "dork" as you have called others then just continue to flame on; maybe you will make it to 3,000 posts someday.[/QUOTE]

This paragraph is about as dorklike as any I could imagine being written. You cite reasons, yet give none. You make two conclusory statements without support. You adopt the mantle of "help, help, I'm being repressed" when no such comment was directed at you. You insult without reason. Go away like the other dork, why don't you?

[QUOTE]What I am intrigued about is how can such a group of obviously higher-than-usual intelligent and, for the most part, well-mannered people get sucked into this. From what I gather in other posts, there just is not alot of grumbler type games out there that address the need. I do not have a special need like that. All I wanted was a playable game for my limited budget spent towards game software...and I got cheated.[/QUOTE]

What are you, a graduate of the Tristanjohn school of charm? If your only object here is to be insulting, again, I suggest that you just go away. The rest of us have better things to do.
