These things are so lame that I don't know how anyone can stand to play them! Back and forth, back and forth. It's
worse then playing a first day noob. Especially when you are waiting to play a game and someone comes to the site
and goes right to a bot. Very cowardly in my opinion. I wish they could limit it to one cowardly act of playing a bot a
day to drum up some more action for people who actually come to the site to play stratego. It wouldn't be so bad if
the site had some ProbeButts. A bot that insults before and during the game and makes up great excuses when you
outplay it. I misclicked because my arm got to close to a magnet, or I got distracted by my buddy R2D2, and if you
win it leaves the site for awhile without saying gg. This could actually be something that was fun to play!

That is one freaky pic...................

Sorry squeaky, but to many people here are just to sensitive. Buttwheat has insulted me dozens of times and I have
LMFAO every time. Anyone who has a sense of humor would realize that the guy is just being sarcastic and the site
simply would not be as fun without him. In fact, I can honestly say he is the funniest person I've ever encountered
in my entire life! Instead of being out there as a stand up comedian that you would need to pay to go see, you get
all of his entertainment value here at metaforge with no extra charge. You and others should be grateful whenever
the master makes his presence here or post a hilarious blog. That is why my idea of creating a ProbeButt was even
suggested in the first place. How about this; ProbeButt1 uses profanity and insults along with all of the excuses and
stuff, and ProbeButt2 refrains from the insults and profanity for the over sensitive people like you and the Euro's.

Xin, I am well aware of buttwheat and his antics, and whether or not folks find him funny is irrelevant - it's not what I was refering to. What I was talking about was this:

You said it yourself, folks come to this site to play stratego - not cop a bunch of childish abuse or listen to some bloke who thinks he's a comedian, and try and pay them out. If your stance is that anyone who disagrees with you on this is 'overly sensetive' , well that's fine - just don't complain and resort to name-calling when they ignore you and play a bot instead.

You can't have it both ways Xin, either you want more members and more games - in which case you will have to cater for all folks here including those that are 'overly sensetive'; or you can call them this, that and the other and be left waiting while they play a bot instead.  
 
 
Yours in shuffling,
Squeak.
 
 
PS - Personally I think Devilsmacker is the best of the cheeky posting types; more subtle and not as foul or crass as some others. Absolutely hilarious some of the things he's posted!

Well Kitty, I certainly would never wish this upon you or anyone else, but some day
when you are older and if you had a mild heart attack and suffered severe memory
loss as I have, then maybe you'll understand how someone would prefer to use RV.
I don't see how having memory issues makes someone a coward but if that is your
determination and it makes you happy, then I guess it can't be all that bad. Besides,
haven't you ever noticed how many non RV users take longer to make there moves?
How would you know if someone is using an eraser board or taking notes and putting
you at tremendous disadvantage, and how could you stop someone from doing it? We
played in the tournament and you scouted 2 pieces that were already seen and walked
into the same bomb twice. I did not make a single error like that in the game and won.
Sorry if I took a little longer to make my moves, but I did warn you that you would be
at a disadvantage if you didn't play with RV & GA. LMFAO!
 
 

You've never offended me, Xin, I never suggested that you did. As I stated in my OP, I was not taking a shot at you with my stance here - seems a little obtuse to think that I would be upset with you don't you think? Yes, I do have a list of players that I simply refuse to play against due to their insipid personalities, but you good sir, are not on that list.  
 
Frantic has never offended me either for that matter, so does that mean that you are overly sensetive or have no sense of humour? Maybe Frantic/NP14 were just 'talking a little smack' or 'just kidding around'?    Of course not, it just means they crossed a line that you drew in the sand.  
 
So obviously, what one finds funny, another might find offensive, and if folks are going to be completely inconsiderate of that, then there will be members that spend most of the time playing bots - and who can blame them? By definition, this pretty much makes these guys the most non-offensive group of people here, so I see no reason to attack these good folks. This has been my point from the very beginning of this thread.  
 
Nobody plays bots because they think it improves their game. I seldom play bots, but when I do it is usually because my concentration is low and I am looking for a quick game (especially if there are no ultra-aggressive players online like Devilsmacker, Commish etc, where the games are over in minutes one way or the other) - you can switch off with bots and they are also fun to lotto.
 
 
Yours in smiley faces,
Squeak.

Wow, and you say I'm overly sensetive? Seems you are the only one getting his panties in a bunch here.  
 
My dear boy, If you are going to get so wound up and go in to a tirade like that every time somebody merely disagrees with you, then the remainder of your teenage years are going to be very long and very painful indeed. I certainly wouldn't be encouraging anyone to 'dish it right back out' - I've already managed to wind you up here without even the slightest attempt to do so. Imagine what would happen if someone were to actually make the effort?
 
I trust this has helped.

I don't know the fella, but I knew it was only a matter of time before you added your two cents.
How about a LadyKBot! You can't join them because they don't create games. They just sit and
wait for a newbie to create a game and instantly join them for a good old fashion humping!

Thank you for your kindly useless information that I couldn't care less about, but I feel like I am still obligated to thank you for sharing that with us. So thank you.

  Classic Dsmacker - love it!
 
Always remember, it is manly to be fat and ugly - I don't trust skinny blokes or prettyboys; or blokes that wear white pants. Of course, this may very well make you the most trustworthy person here good sir...
