OK, glad your leaving happy.

your= you are?[:)]

Thank

[thewood1]

Really, you of all people are going to point that out. Come on do you really want me to start tearing apart you posts. They are very close to incomprehensible at times. This is becoming the definition of trolling and stalking. All we need you to do is resurrect your threats.

"This look like problem that is hard to have but good find. I see."

Let's see how many issues we can find with this one...

Sigh......

Please BDukes....let it go. Your constant trolling is simply tiring. You come off looking like a petulant 12 year old.

Well I was slightly taken aback by thewood1's fierce response, especially as it wasn't as if I had started a whole new thread in order to ask a stupid question. And I am definitely neither lazy in terms of RTFM nor ignorant of CMANO's complexity. I am currently up to my neck in tutorials, forum posts and videos just trying to reacquaint myself with the game's mechanics after a long time away (I was in the Beta) but the search function here is next to useless so I figured "why not just ask?" Having said this, I know what an asset thewood1 has always been to this community so I am happy to take my punishment.

Again, I am not singling you out for any beat down. Its just that lately there have been some people coming in getting the forumites spun up with "bugs" and issues that a little common sense and basic look at available resources would have settled. There are days worth of discussions, requests for saves, devs having to step in. Just because someone couldn't be arsed to do a simple search or post a save.

What really gets me is the same people over several months with the same M.O. Play the game a bit, not know why something happened, and then come in with a complaint disguised as a question. Those people take advantage of the people willing to help. The devs have little time as it is, between two separate product paths, without the steady trickle of people with questions they could answer themselves with a little ambition. I would much rather the devs focus on dev stuff and minimize having to hand hold people that probably are playing the wrong game.

So do you think I’m “probably playing the wrong game”?

[thewood1]

Let's take this one. A simple sentence...

"You are 5 second in my day. But worth if good user left alone."

You are five seconds in ("of" would read better) my day. But worth it if a good ("good" is also a little out of context, but we'll let it go) user is left alone.

So that's five and let's say a half right there. Five mistakes in a 14 word sentence. That is an error rate of 36%.

Yes this my point. Long time user maybe not care. New user will see this and run away. It need to stop. There are nice way to say thing without writing 3 paragraph of backhand criticism.

His post here is rude.

The post just above yours explained what ini files are and the rebuild function was mentioned there. Just using a simple search in the manual would have probably gotten the answer. And my point is, there are tons of resources available to learn the game. And don't worry, you're obviously not the only person to not read the manual. If you are not reading anything past simple gameplay in the manual, your missing out on a lot of explanations on how things work. And you don't have to read the manual word-for-word. The search function in most PDF viewers works really well. Even the quirky search function in the forum can be a wealth of info.

Don't take this post too personally, but there has been an increase in people not looking in the manual, not looking at stickied threads on how to ask for help, not looking in the game itself, not doing the tutorials, or just plain not using the resources available to them to learn the game.

This is not a simple game. Its very complicated and takes a little effort to learn. The are a few people that just don't seem to want to do any of it themselves and just keep bringing issues up that only reflect on how little effort they have put into learning the game. They declare bugs or how something is not right when its that they never bothered to read a manual or do a tutorial. It wastes the devs time tracking down issues like that and frustrates other people on the forum. My personal philosophy is to help people that will at least make a minimal effort to help themselves.

So many user doesn't read manual, will not put effort to learn and other people on forum get frustrated? Is this really true? First, people put time they have in. Many don't have time to read all of forum or remember manual. It would be nice but there is no requirement for customer to do x,y,z even if nice too. Post to forum gets quick answer if wood doesn't scare off. Second, I see nobody else frustrated about all these things but him. Framing meaness to look like protect devs is rotten. Oh and btw don't take personally while your at it[:D]

Please help me make forum nicer place. Ask him to stop beating on new users. If he stop I go back to being silent happy customer. If he continue I fight for them. Community must grow with all kinds of peoples. Not just who Wood say.

Thank

Maybe if you stopped tolling and stalking it would be nicer. Let me take a look at the mistakes in your post. I'll be back with the results.
