    If John Locke et al find it so amusing why not make all these posts in off topic , or is it not so good in that section where you won`t get an audience ? The only people who enjoy the Trolls seem to be the other Trolls so how about a section just for them maybe that would make their lives a little more worthwhile and feed them some attention Like a bunch of kids showing off , or should I say one or two kids with multiple accounts/personalities showing off . Really quite sad and pathetic .

    What about the non-use of the space bar to separate words after commas?

    As for the multiple full stops, sometimes that's to leave a point hanging in the air, so to speak...

    OP makes a valid point, much more than can be said for your post. If you truly feel as if kids are the ones annoying you on here then you should easily be able to ignore them, not call them sad and pathetic. How pathetic is that?

    Its not that easy to ignore someone who makes 120 a posts a day , or adds 3 or 4 pages to threads you are trying to follow for information . I stand by what I said , it is sad and pathetic attention seeking , but hey you seem to enjoy it so each to their own I guess

    Grammar is essential to the American lexicon. It's all about having fun. Some of you take this forum entirely too serious.

    As an avid observer, I had no qualms with a person aiding in grammatical corrections. However the pedantic nature of the corrections and the number of them were derailing the threads. This issues could have been taken off topic in a separate thread and discussed with those who wanted to listen. We must also remember that for many, English is not their first language, and as such, they may interpret these bombardments as personal attacks.

    Overuse of smiley faces makes you come off as passive-aggressive. Not a problem, just an observation.

    Can't agree. The pedantic nature was part of the humour, as was correcting the inevitable mistakes made by the Grammar Nazi.

    As many have said, it was far more entertaining than the whining about the LTB. That will come; in the meantime just upgrade some others or build up your cash reserves (or both)

    This game is old enough that most essential information has been available for years. Really the only bits everybody is looking for now are where the accomplices rewards are in each event.

    I realise most essential information is available , but at the moment there are things like accomplices like you say , and also info about LTB`s that some people would like to have more info about . I like to have a laugh on here too but I don`t see how someone posting 120 times in less than 24 hours clogging up threads really helps anyone .

    I agree. Humor is fine, but this reminds me of a phrase my grandma used to say, "Slapping 'er in the face with it doesn't make 'er want it."

    Some forums have an "ignore this user" function. Whether that's available as an (unused) option here who can say; perhaps it should be?

    As for LTBs, they all seem to have identical upgrade times now. Costs should be easy to calculate from the formula for Type A and Type B buildings. After that, it's the old "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it" thing!
