I'm gonna agree with the immortal here. CF is a game, when i'm playing any other game I just try a few different things out to see what works best for me and then I go with it and you learn along the way. I think the problem is that people think that because this is a mud run by people just like us, there must be a bunch of flaws, or tricks that would let us rule Thera if we could only figure them out. We just need to come to grips with the fact that CF has been around a long time and is a well done MUD and no amount of number crunching is going to make us better whereas playing the game more and trying different tactics will. I just got my ass beat by six imperials, what did I learn? errr..nothing but I know I hate the empire and i'm gonna kill every one of them if I ever get good at this game and figure out how.
