I already explained why it took me 3 hours to do the J1, if you do not read my posts it is your issue, not mine. Read the game thread. I ran into several roadblocks, it wasn’t nearly as simple and quick relative to live as you suggested it would be before I agreed to try it out. I then find out that I also get emails everytime I get dice, and have to filter those out too, plus I have to put my email out to yet another site to even get those dice in the first place. I have enough spam already. Doing my J1 literally takes 5 minutes, but from the time we started discussing it to the time I finally got everything in order, it was nearing 3 hours. We would have easily done an entire test game in that time. By the way, it wasn’t even my email password, I had to use my forum password. One headache after another that got nothing done.
It may be fair to ask me if I would like to play PBF, but it’s not fair to automatically expect that  the test must be done PBF, especially when you were the one who challenged me to the game.
Where did I call you a jerk?
Post 8 in the other thread I suggest that I really don’t want to bother with PBF anymore, it was already more hassle and waste than I expected.
My next post about it, I say “PM me when you have a 2 hour block to test this out. I see no point in waiting for forum posts constantly when it is much easier to play live.” Half an hour after I post my issue with the dice, someone else has to step in to help me with that. At this point I was incredibly frustrated. And I said so.
I was up intially for trying it once, but after twiddling my thumbs for the past two hours while getting exactly 0 rounds of the game in where we could be at round 6 in a live game, I feel severely frustrated and like I am wasting my time.
Constantly checking back in the forum is cool if you don’t have the time to lay aside a couple hours to play or if you are a notoriously slow player, but I want nothing to do with it. It’s been almost half an hour since I posted the issue I was having with dice, and in that half hour we could have done a round.
Gamerman, again, lmk when you got a few hours. It’s nothing personal, but I am very frustrated for this immense waste of my time.
Hardly seems like I am calling you a jerk, because I am not at all. Â I am respectfully as possible telling you that I got way more hassle than I bargained for and was done with it, and was ready and willing to take you up on my original offer of playing anyone live who had the time.
Finally, after an immense amount of time struggling with the format and waiting for help, I posted the turn (reply 15), with the note that it was already too much hassle and unless things sped up significantly I was gonna drop. I then ask how to fix my dice email spam situation, and you respond with this after offering a tip about the email that didn’t really answer my question.
@Gamerman01:
Dude, quit your whining!
First of all, there are a lot more than 11 interested players in the world.
Second of all, Krieghund is about to change the rulebook after one player presents a strategy, with no demonstrations? Â And now you’re not willing to play a game or two on a format you’re slightly unfamiliar with to prove it?
What’s the deal, man? Â Are you for real?
After that (and the several following posts trying to goad me into that immense waste of my time that is PBF games by suggesting that I was losing faith in my strategy), I just plain got pissed. You acted like I was against demonstrating my strategy when I have been offering to show it to people (and have done so about a dozen times) since January 25. You tell me that when I don’t want to keep d***ing around with a format that takes much longer, I just need to stop my “whining.” Â
@Gamerman01:
I am NOT going to waste hours of my time playing a game with someone who is not polite and respectful.
Indeed. Calling me a whiner when I get hassle I did not sign up for isn’t respect at all, and neither was your entry into the whole conversation in the first place.
@Gamerman01:
But I REALLY don’t want to take the time to read all your ruminations. Â Just show us the “final” “whiz-bang” strat that you’ve “fine-tuned”, and I’ll see if I can stop it.
@Gamerman01:
@Krieghund:
We’ve got around half a dozen possible fixes we’re considering, but we’d like to wait a little while and see if someone comes up with a counter (slim chance, I know). Â If no counter is forthcoming in a reasonable amount of time, we’ll publish a fix for testing.
Enter Gamerman  8-)
@Gamerman01:
This was all hashed out in 2010 <yawn></yawn>
What all that says to me is basically this: “I see you posted a lot of stuff on here, but I am an expert so I am not going to bother reading the game summaries and you already posted. Just give me this alleged “strategy” you think is so great and everything will turn out all right because Gamerman  just got here. I am too important to be bothered by actually reading the thread, and I expect your report soon. This stuff is below me anyways; we experts sorted it out years ago.”
I honestly believe I am barely exaggerating.
You almost made a progressive step with your list of ideas, but you don’t even read what I post. I already explained why it took 3 hours to get that turn in, and then you come after me for allegedly calling you a jerk when you call me a whiner and then try to goad me into burning even more time in a PBF game that I was leaving due to it being far more a hassle than you assured me it would be. I really don’t care if the entrance of Gamerman was the best thing that ever happened to this thread. I don’t care if you claim that because I won’t waste so much more of my time in PBF than live, that I was just making this all up. Until you stop taking 100 your way%, and start giving a little, I want nothing to do with anything you got going. Honestly I am not convinced pacific is to me worth all this effort
To put it bluntly, I am not your servant, although you have been treating me as though I were. You challenged me, and I tried to do the PBF, but it is not as simple as you said it was going to be and I see little point in continuing with the utter lack of respect you have shown me because I have not bowed to every wish you have had for your own convenience and comfort, while you ignore my own.
My offer for a live game or two stands, as it has been for almost two weeks now.
It’s still out there, and it will be out there for a while yet. You are in no way obligated to take me up on the offer, but I am in no way obligated to play PBF just because it suits you, expertise or not. My terms are quite reasonable. It will take a lot less time and hassle to play live than by forum. You challenged me to the game, and those are my terms of accepting your challenge.
