Besides getting a spellchecker, why don't you get a dictionary and read the definition of 'roleplaying'. Your solution for everything below is for their to be a time-out after every major event and have someone spoonfeed you exactly what happened. Just admit that you don't know how cricket is played and go buy a book on the subject. Some of us like to roleplay and want to figure things out on our own. > the key to many problems with CF is called "TRUTH" > Many players leave CF becase the are disgusted with all this lie. > Now it reminds a bunch of politics. > If you make rites > If you made conjurers overpowered when they were implemented > IF you throw some imperial for "not defending" > There are so many similar examples, it is not necessary > Maybe Arcanes, Arolins, Graathes are slightly wild-headed > As immortals you put efforts into the game (some more, some less)
> It is well known that newbies have wild-open eyes and enjoy the game
> but old players still may enjoy the game, they eventually open
> new and new sides of the game/interations/whatever.
> But the LIE is very harmful and may destroy things and
> whole addiction.
> New say a truth, never say "I was wrong"
> Maye when you play "a god" you feel it is necessary to keep GOD's ego
> but it is not very hard to say "I did a mistake here"
> People are people, they DO mistakes.
> If somebody tell "no I don't" while he does actually
> other would not trust him anymore.
> Maybe immortals must stay gods in real life, so they will not harm
> newbie/child imagination but such behaviour may ruin the game
> for mature players.
> just say, we make rites for fun
> but we choose the leader from other criterias
> (good if the chosen would win the rites, if not, well,
> so be it, he will be the leader, because we think he should be)
> not all players are complete morons, they UNDESTAND
> that making the winner of rites a leader is risky.
> the rites are good for RP/gameplaying as they are
> use them to fill veteran positions/whatever
> that is not a great problem if you say, we feel X should be a leader.
> just don't lie
> just say
> "yes, they were, we did not realize it before, we are working to balance them"
> "yes, they were, we knew it, we wanted to make them owerpowered,
> we are not going to fix it"
> just say THE TRUTH.
