Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)

Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.

× WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!

This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.

Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;

Two games enter! One game leaves!

Trashdome - Civilizaton VS Mare Nostrum

Hooray! For a while there I was worried. Now I'm not saying MN is a bad game but I am definitely saying that Civ is the better game.

Mare Nostrum fans don't riot - they just protest elegantly (after auctioning for positions in the ordered line) for either 45 or 90 minutes.

In my defense, I was swayed by the allure of fire-crappin'-ponies!

Will these elegant protests be of the "standing in my driveway first, so I can't use it" and "use my lawnmower, so I can't use it" variety? Any bidding involved?

Protests are to be indirect only. A letter to the editor would be reasonable.

I thought that the second half of this was going to bury CIV, but it looks like Truth and Justice have prevailed once again.

MARE NOSTRUM is an honorable game though. I'm sure we'll see it back in Trashdome someday, and on a competitive footing too.

All true-blooded ATers should raise a toast to Aarontu for saving F:AT from another embarrassing Euro win.
Hip hip hooray!

Yeah, I was beginning to worry that I was going to have re-work the logo so we could re-name the site Fortress: Weenies.

Or Fortress: Euro.

. . . with the appropriate acronym F:EU.

Double Yeah. I think we may need to do a bit more in-depth background checks before handing out F:AT cards so quickly ... and good to see Adrian pulling himself back together after some very peculiar game posts in the last few weeks.

Well, I just figured since everyone has a newfound affinity for cubes around here, why not vote for Mare Nostrum? But having not played Civ, it does look like it has awesome components though. Additionally, from the the case made for it, I'm sure it is a worthy winner.

Personally, I would like to see Shogun/Wallenstein in the Trashdome, if it hasn't been in already.
