I wonder what dicks would look like if the balls were on top. Pretty weird in my best estimation. On topic though, I like you I played a game of the Japanese variant with you and you were pretty good at theatrics.

I bet one nut would fall to each side and then all the extra skin would probably sag on top of the dick in a sad fashion.

the biggest asshole, no... an asshole, sometimes :D but still fun to play with usually(except in that game) and at least you don't cheat!

Yes, Butterhead is right.

So gopher is a fun asshole? Yeah, I'd support that.

I, apparently, was so hated that the cheaters just stopped cheating and drew the game once they had killed me?

They lost their purpose in VDip, and as a result have no need to be here anymore!

I was looking through the messages and while I found out a great deal about a lot of things, the thing that really stuck out to me is:

If you don't want seven day phases, don't fucking join a seven day phase game. I often hit save instead of ready so that I can predict when the next phase of a long game will happen.

I don't even see how that could be such an ordeal.

Eh, gopher's ok... Usually.

I don't know what more of a ringing endorsement I could ask for.

I am so freaking happy I was not in that atrocious modern game, I would have had to have my head chewed off with gopher's big buck teeth before enduring that

Its seems people either love or hate gopher.

Diplomatically, I find gopher annoying to talk to, but other then that I think hes a great player and I like the role playing he sometimes does in global.

So you neither hate nor love me? :oP

I think you are better than some players I know *cough* mongoose *cough* :D

lol diplomat, he said the same thing about you a month ago

haha. I know that thats why i said it.

Gopher's role playing is A+

ordinary players> diplomat33> cheaters
I do enjoy playing games with gopher usually. that game, was an exception. I'm just glad it's over.

Although Gopher and myself have had some "disagreements" in the past I must say I really do like playing with him, if nothing else adds some entertainment with his role playing, and I actually like it that he will work to form coalitions to fight a winner and either force a draw or give the winner a real fight for the win, basically he's one of the first players on my list when I'm looking to start an elite game.

and as for him being an asshole, he's not that bad unless he really has a reason :D
plus he's nowhere near the level of Douche-baggery I've seen on webdip :p

:o)

bump

Who is Gopher?

Is he new?

Been here since the first day.

I tried to avoid this thread....It's a shame I didn't:

"I wonder what dicks would look like if the balls were on top."

I don't care about gopher, I'm just wondering how the hell that was even conceived?

"I'm just wondering how the hell that was even conceived"

well, when Daddy really likes Mommy, his ....

thanks for starting this thread. I couldn't agree more.

gopher is by far the least sportsmanlike player on this site. I have witnessed him forst hand do all of the following:

- Refuse to draw games that had been stalemated for upwards of 3 years. Mod intervention being required to make the draw happen.
- Breaking the silence of a gunboat game (through mod intervention which also bothered me quite a bit) to explain that he could no longer play and therefore needed a draw. He told me personally, "I know you will win, so just pretend this was a win." Thanks gopher, asshole.
- He has on numerous occasions played through other people's CDs for easy victories.
- He never finalizes his orders in gunboat games
- His demeanor and tone with other players is completely belittling. Nobody has the ability to tell you how terrible of a person you are, how bad you are at this game like gopher does.
- He completely has an inability to understand how others feel about him. Someone took issue with his attitude and his best repsonse was to bring it up on the forum? Right, a great way to show respect and be the bigger man.

I can safely say that the internet would be a better place if gopher lost his connection.

Rancher, I meant conception of the thought of that image. I have a wife and kid, I know the whole mommy-daddy thing.

Damn, KA - I thought you were like just out of high school in Fredericksburg ... you went and got yourself a wife and a kid and all that shit?!? You're starting to sound like an old arthritic soul like me ...

Hm...
I would be out of high school, if State laws allowed me to graduate with only 11 years of education done with (The problem is that I skipped a grade!). I have all the credits I need, I just need to get myself through my Junior year (And probably my Senior year, since it will look better on a college application), and THEN I'll be just out of high school.
I am indeed developing arthritis if that is any concern of yours, but I do not have any kids (hopefully) at the moment. My wife is someone I use as a metaphor for my bondage to the flawed human spirit. She does exist, but I do not speak of her as my wife because she is my wife, but simply because she is symbolic of beauty and my devotion to any task I set before me. We are not married-I don't know about you-but I haven't seen to many High School Juniors getting married around here...

Have a deeply intellectual conversation with me, I dare you. For I do not always choose to speak with the severity of a cunning tongue, but when it happens that I do, my opponent (for everything is, in its own right, an argument) in a state of self betterment.
But as I do not wish to bring ill-thoughts upon myself, I shall speak of my wit no further. Be it that you have marvelous slumbers, and please do wish them upon me as well.

"but when it happens that I do, **I leave** my opponent..."
My sincerest apologies, for as brief a period of time I spent on that phrase, a phrase within it must have slipped my mind. As I am tired, I cannot stand such ado.

@Jimboizig....first off, I'm unaware of us having played tons games together. I generally stick to the larger maps and you don't. As far as I know, we've only played twice.
-- Refuse to draw games that had been stalemated for upwards of 3 years. Mod intervention being required to make the draw happen.

That is untrue. There was no mod intervention that I was aware of. I drew after three years with 17 SCs in a live game, and I apologized afterward. It was anon and I was extremely pissed at myself in a live anon gunboat to have squandered a victory. I had no idea that I was playing you and Czech. I thought I had allowed two "average" players to stalemate me without even the ability to coordinate with each other.

-- Breaking the silence of a gunboat game (through mod intervention which also bothered me quite a bit) to explain that he could no longer play and therefore needed a draw. He told me personally, "I know you will win, so just pretend this was a win." Thanks gopher, asshole.

Gopher said, "I admit that you have won and bow in honor of your excellent play with a little bit of luck." That was said in public and not to you personally as some sort of aside. My home computer literally died and I made a fair amount of effort to try to continue. The process was in fact becoming burdensome as a result and I did not get a new home computer for almost 3 months.

-- He has on numerous occasions played through other people's CDs for easy victories.

I'd like specific games upon which you base this allegation. I generally play on the larger maps and therefore have very few victories at all, so the set of my "easy victories" will have to be quite small. Without doing any thorough review of my past games, I'm skeptical that numerous examples can be pointed to. In the game you just referenced, you were the one advantaged by a CD who played on to seek the victory.

-- He never finalizes his orders in gunboat games

I rarely finalize in any games, but I almost never play gunboats. Perhaps I'm correct to avoid gunboats, if that is a big deal. I have a thing about wanting games to turn over at the same time every day so that they have a pattern in my daily life. I'm not sure that that is a great character flaw.

-- His demeanor and tone with other players is completely belittling. Nobody has the ability to tell you how terrible of a person you are, how bad you are at this game like gopher does.

You say that like it is a bad thing.

-- He completely has an inability to understand how others feel about him. Someone took issue with his attitude and his best repsonse was to bring it up on the forum? Right, a great way to show respect and be the bigger man.

You've missed the point completely. I'm bragging, not responding. The only attitude thing I am contesting is that I think that claims of cheating are of a completely different variety. I never asked for an apology regarding my being accused of regularly anally sodomizing farm animals in between attending KKK cross burnings. Amby and I were accused of cheating. It is easily verifiable now that the accusation made is false. I believe that an apology is warranted. I stated immediately after the accusation was made that I expected the accuser to take the matter up with the mods and apologize after the matter was settled.
