I've been playing Tropico off and on since just before it came out, and only recently did I take a look at Cafe Tropico. First, I'd like to say very well done to Dave and the staff. You have created and maintained a surprisingly useful and well organized site. Kudos to you all.  Considering how nice the site currently is I think you should be very careful about changing things. In particular, I think your decision not to move under the Gamespy umbrella was a wise one. I for one wouldn't mind a couple banners if they help you pay for the bandwidth. Second, I want to express how impressed I am with the people who post. My previous encounters with posting were on an Everquest site. I shudder now thinking about how horrible the situation was (and still is): run-ons, partial sentences, mis-spellings galore, posts completely off topic, posts with false information, non-intelligeable posts... ugh... still gets me riled thinking about it.  I have always been able to find useful, thought provoking information on this site. I think that has to do with the nature of the game...  After all... how many illiterate, juvenile, mind-numbed people are going to choose Tropico with all the other game titles available. It's a form of self-selection really...  |

Welcome, Angry Beaver! I agree, this is a great place for a talk, without having DOS PEEPS HU CHAT LIK DIS, U NO!?!?!? People with the IQ of a dried dog biscuit generally don't realise the joy in ruling over a small Carribean island! BTW, check "always logged in" when you sign in-that's the reason why you're shown as a guest. Once you you're a General and I'm an Emperor, you're going to be Head of Contradictions in my cabinet-Watch Yourself! Twice in your first post-better than me  . |

Hey Angry Beaver, welcome to the fourms. Yeah, I have a few friends who never advanced past Diablo. When I told them about Tropico, they said, "You actually wasted $30 on that."

Hey, whats wrong with diablo all of the sudden |
"Our problems, both those we experience externally- such as wars, crime, and violence- and those we experience internally- our emotional pain and psychological sufferings- cannot be solved unless we address the underlying neglect. That is why the great movements of the last hundred years and more- democracy, liberalism, socialism- have all failed to deliver the universal benefits they were supposed to provide, despite many wonderful ideas. A revolution is called for, certainly. But not a political, an economic, or even a technical revolution. We have had enough evperience of these during the past century to know that an external approach will not suffice. What I propose is a spiritual revolution."
--The Dalai Lama "Ethics for the New Millenium"

Runon sentences are something that would never be seen on this board because the people are too classy for such obviously low-brow attempts to get attention from the other people of the board even if some of them are cute females types that I am so glad show up often. Fragments. No. Not on board! MissSpeeling is soemthing we fihgt againts everry daye! Offtopic posts? *cough*Um, let's go on shall we  Anyway, I am glad you like the board. Now register, then pooooost! POOOOOOOST! |

That's the most perfect, definitive post I've ever seen on this board. The absolute epitome of prototypical Night Club persiflage. Kudos, Your Eddyship. Oh Yeah... a belated Welcome, Beaver.  |
