Poe's law is an Internet adage that states that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers or viewers as a sincere expression of the parodied views.
The original statement of the adage, by Nathan Poe, was:
Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is uttrerly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article.

Crap Game
Last night, I was playing 'Civilization V Brave New world'. It's a
single game, and I play it with the computer programs, there are 6
civiliazations in the map which contains 2 continents separated by
ocean, each continent have 3 civilizations. There are also 10 city
states distributed in the map randomly. My civilization is Chinese, the
other five are random civilizations operated by the computer program.
Initially, all players belong to 6 different teams, I changed the
setting and put one computer civilization in my team, thinking that it
would be easier to have someone assist you to play against the other 4
independent programs. But it turned out that I was wrong. In the sceen,
it just displayed that the state of your partner is 'friendly'. At some
stage, I launched a war against another country, I was trying to deploy
my armies to cut off the connection of two cities, so the city I
attacked had no backup from the other one. When I thought I was gonna
win the battle, suddenly I was made peace with the opponent without my
command, it was my 'friend' country who did it! It was the computer
program in my team that decided to make peace with the country I was
fighting with when my side was dominant. It happened at the time when
big ships hadn't been invented to cross the ocean to make any physical
contact with the other 3 civilizations. My teammate was on the other
continent! After that, it happened several times, there was no
coordination or cooperation in the team, it didn't ask for my opinion,
in fact, it didn't need my approval or consent to stop the war, my side
was forced to make peace in the middle of war. What a crap, who designed
the program?!
