Playing & Trading Strategy

I will bookmark this post! I read it and said "exactly" and "bingo" alternatively a dozen times. NAIL ON THE HEAD.

Minor correction, probably semantics:  I do not wish to replace anyone, certainly not Paul2K.  I don't have the Billions he does in his port, but I already have the life he is starting...and have for many years (son graduates this year, daughter finishing grade 9).  So I don't want players to rely on me for the news.  I just thought it might be helpful to ease the pressure on the poor man who just had a child (well, his wife had a child and he watched).

Thank you, as always, for you insight.  It made a lot of sense and you tend to be a calming figure on the board.  I certainly fall into the category of chastising older players for showing their frustration on newer players. 

Ultimately, I suppose we will all be to blame at some point, if your cycle holds true.  Ergo, there are those who have and those who will.  We (myself included) should all keep that in mind when we see someone making a post that sounds frustrated.

why are players so cranky/offensive lately? :) {nm} islander Apr 13, 06:24

They need a nap. eyescovered Apr 13, 08:14

God, I so need a nap. This baby-maintenance thing is hard work. {nm} Paul2k Apr 13, 18:06

Not sure. I'd hate to sift through all the different sites for news, though. Maybe I'll mute my keyboard. {nm} arf Apr 13, 08:37

cranky = generation warfare... RazorHawk Apr 13, 09:01

This. And get off my lawn, you darn whippersnappers!!! eyescovered Apr 13, 09:33

Ditto. Plus tone is hard to convey in words. Too easy to accidentily sound snarky online. {nm} dave3626 Apr 13, 10:01

It's also too easy to take snark too personally. {nm} RogerMore Apr 13, 11:18

True. Been guilty myself on both counts. {nm} dave3626 Apr 13, 17:23

That's an awesome post! Quite a fun read! :) {nm} slappydavid Apr 13, 10:55

Agreed. {nm} PRodQuanta Apr 13, 12:53

Wow - so do the HSX boards reflect life or does life reflect the HSX boards ;-) {nm} srrichardson Apr 16, 01:04
