I've played with him several times before and I have no intention of playing with him again, if I can help it. As it was mentioned many times by many different people who played with norfleet in the past (including myself of course), norfleet's only strategy is cheesy, abusing, and requires little skills to implement, while making gameplay extremely boring for everybody involved. Especially with the settings such as in this game of his that were tailored-made to benefit this very strategy. (massive clam hoarding + uber-VQ + insane castling)
As you know I've baned Norfleet's from my future games for his cheating in our Last game. Zapmeister did the same, other people may follow. You can't be serious in suggesting that I would play in norf's game now, right?
Anyway, this whole mess is already a history. I said that I will not post here, and as you can see the point of my Last post, to which you replied with your question and suggestion, was to stop norfleet's and mine arguments and communications here and on the other thread. If you have any future questions to me I will be glad to answer them in privite emails. But please drop this topic here, I don't want to continue the discussion of this ugly mess on this board. I've already done what I wanted to do (making people aware of the certain facts in our Last game, so they could avoid repeating these mistakes if they choose to). To continue this discussion is counter-productive, as well as against forum's rules, as Zen's stated here and elsewhere.

. It is cheesy and abusive, but to do well it definitely requires expert skills. Otherwise, you just have some second-rate Norfleet wannabe.

Also, I'm curious about Stormbinder's constant use of the word "abusive". Norfleet isn't leaving bruises on children, women, small animals. He isn't verbally abusing his PD or troops, to the best of my knowledge.
He isn't taking advantage of any "exploits" in the game. (For instance, selecting multiple units in a province and making them all into Prophets, or sending multiple units to the Death Games - which used to be possible; doing so on purpose would be abusive use of a bug / exploit.)
His tactic may be cheesy or cheap; it certainly isn't any fun to play against.
But frankly, the most abusive thing I'm seeing is Stormbinder's constant badgering of Norfleet, constant personal insults, and constant misuse of the term "abusive".

Re: MP Game - Play The World: CANCELLED
Anyone got a link where I could go read about this cheesy, "abusive", little skill using strategy? I keep hearing about it, but I don't know the real details. Just curious. Same with the VQ. As you can see, I'm sort of new around here.

Re: MP Game - Play The World: CANCELLED
Can we please limit Posts in this thread to those discussing the actual "Play the World" game, and not Norfleet? Thanks.

I guess you'll have to continue to be curious. In case you didn't get any of the earlier hints, this thread is not for the discussion of norfleet or stormbinder. I am afraid you'll have to go and preach for your hero elsewhere.

Re: MP Game - Play The World: CANCELLED
An on-topic question:
any ETA on when this is going to start?
