What are you doing chatting about freeciv if you don't like reletively 
long and slow games?  It's fucking -turn based- for crying out loud.  If 
you can't appriciate the interestingness of toying around with the 
details of a game, why are you here talking about game development? Why 
are you even bothering with an open-source project which has clearly 
been developed with letting users mess with "petty settings" as a 
priority?  What's got your panty's in a wad, dude?  Go play Quake or 
something.  I want to talk about freeciv, not get called an idiot for 
enjoying the aspects of the game I find interesting.
