It shouldn't piss you off that I like player-vs-player interactions.

Not at all what I said. Im not bothered at all that you like it. Its the comment that "The only reason to play strategy games is to play other human beings, so you can put your strategies against theirs" which sounded alittle too close to the things that set me off. It sounds too close to the kids who feel that an Online world is only good for arena combats.

Seriously, when you get a message from the Eee, do you feel as good as when you get a well thought out message from another player?

If its a message calling me names and trying to get me to attack or do something stupid then no I dont. Of course I understand that its all "just a game" so Im not saying that it ticks me off but you asked so the answer is, no. I prefer such things come from a computer player. Even in a game I prefer not to respond to a human player quite the way I can allow myself to respond to an AI.

And again, Im not saying anyone else should play that way. Im only set off if someone fails to allow for the possibility of other peoples playing preferences. No offense, by the way but I do end to notice a high number of PvP style players to be "young bucks" entering the age of challenge so I wouldnt be at all surprised to find out there is a natural reason for it all.

That's really interesting... how do you interact with the AI, when all the AI does is respond with one-liners? And calling someone "stupid" is something no mature person would do... not only is it out of character, but its rude

When I write my Messages (to a human player), they are usually grandiose and in a way which would reflect the nature of each message originating from one galactic empire to another.

And grudges? If my race is an agressive, expansionist race, I would be naturally agressive in my Messages. If it is a peaceloving environmentally friendly treehugging bird species, then I would be more serene. If I hate your race in the game, doesn't mean I hate YOU In-character vs out of character stuff and all that. Of course, some people respond with one-liners too, and write Messages like "can I have point defense cannons V for your armor III?" Well, I don't worry about that either, if they want to RP then power to them, if not I don't worry lol

Time to get to class.
