Thanks for any kind words. There are a lot of people that did a heck of a lot more than me to win this world. I just really like to win
the right way and have fun. No grudges, no real enemies or whatever. This is just a game. Even when mungus and I traded crazy insults on the forums in zac it was all in good fun.
As for Chill, he is golden. His willingness to leave the coalition because he did not like the whole concept, his efforts to build bridges with T.S. and other fluff leaders (all incredible players) were huge. From a diplomatic standpoint, Chill, more than anyone else from HM, made sure the anti-coalition was put together successfully- plus the guy did the bulk of the logistical planning for the string of ops that saw HM take over 400 cities in around 4 weeks to gain control of 44.
As for tom, he is my bro and he is HM's MVP. I think dimspace doesn't understand that tom just likes to give enemies a hard time and it is nothing to take personal... in that sense he is no different than mungus or even me, for that matter. Tom is the most selfless player I know as well, He has given up his whole offense multiple times to help me or someone else take a stacked city. That is leading by example.
As for mungus, he is the best all-around player I have seen in the game. That is true in every sense of the word.
Overall, I am surprised at the people that get their feelings hurt from the smack talking. So many of you talked so much noise in this world and on this forum when you thought things were going your way and then you cry when somebody gives you a bit back. Remember, this is all just fun and games. We are all a bunch of nit-wits that spend way too much time playing an addictive online game. As such, any hurt feelings you may have about stuff said here should be tempered by the fact that none of this is real... none of it.
Well, except for how terrible of a job erik, prae, iconic, ranga, davyd, etc. did... that is real... those guys are absolutely terrible. Just ask penaldo if you do not believe me.
