what i have learned is to only play with friends
most people online are dweebs, jerks and idiots
seem more interested in showing how stupid they are
just read the messages in the chat area
half love to be thrown out for language
the other half are playing with themselves

i guess the really serious people leave quickly, so only the neaderthals
(sp) are left
sound like u like RA?
does the game u are playing allow u to ally with a friend an play against
the AI?
