It's amusing you made a sports analogy.

May 22, 2013 01:27PM
Look, tough guy, I didn't say anything about it being good or bad. The issue I hate, and will continue to hate, is the 'you should only be thankful for the game' 'shut up and enjoy the gift you are giving' 'they toil for free and don't owe us' 'why can't you just shut up and play the game' versions of the argument that really shuts down the whole key point I just made. If no one but the admins of the game were playing, it would be a stupid sucky game.

To take your sportsball analogy, what if some people want to play 21, some people want to play full court, and some other people want to play horse. Maybe some people just want to run suicides. I dunno, the point is, last time I checked, humans have to work out compromises to allow a lot of people to use thing in a way that makes the most of them happy. Yeah, some people might say screw that and leave. Most should stay, if it's a healthy compromise.

If what you have is 5 people playing with their heads down and threatening anyone who walks onto the court with a beatdown if they even ask about maybe playing half court so other people can also use the court....then yeah. That's broken, and it's stupid.

Why so defensive?

what's skyrim? (n/t)

callowin May 22, 2013 05:08PM

Skyrim is a computer game.

DurNominator(VIP) May 22, 2013 05:22PM

Hahah, he must know what Skyrim is

madglee May 23, 2013 01:36AM

Agree with this especially the calculator comment

smashtro May 22, 2013 01:45PM

No joke- Rolemaster would've been boring without the critical tables...

The Faithful of Nazmorghul May 22, 2013 04:50PM

Heh, yeah. "All that remains is charred bits of teeth and bone. Sad." (n/t)

I'm so happy the game works for you. You, one person. As soon as it you're the last one playing it, the closed perfect system shall be complete...

satchmo May 22, 2013 01:17PM

I'm happy you're happy! :)

The Faithful of Nazmorghul May 22, 2013 04:53PM

That sounded vaguely patronizing...but I'll give you benefit of the doubt.

satchmo May 23, 2013 11:52AM

No condescension intended :)

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) May 23, 2013 01:51PM

The game works for me too.

istirith May 22, 2013 01:19PM

I'm not saying 'everyone has a problem'

satchmo May 22, 2013 01:29PM

I think there might be something in what you say..

istirith May 22, 2013 01:34PM

Incorect. Him. Two people. Oh, Sevriis. Three people. You too if you know what's good for you *crack knuckles*. Four people. (n/t)

Matrik May 22, 2013 01:18PM

Take your ball, go home. We're playing full court, and don't want to play 21. Sorry. (n/t)

sevriis May 22, 2013 01:18PM

It's amusing you made a sports analogy.

satchmo May 22, 2013 01:27PM

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal! (n/t)

Srev June 17, 2014 07:46PM

Except your trying to use your presence as an ultimatum on the changes you want. *That* is what turns the conversation into an argument.

sevriis May 22, 2013 01:46PM

Hey look, actual thoughts!

satchmo May 22, 2013 02:02PM

Another double post. nt

istirith May 22, 2013 02:09PM

There are definitely steps which could bridge..

istirith May 22, 2013 02:08PM

I think the radical part of the playerbase, in regards to the game (not other stuff) isn't that far afield.

satchmo May 22, 2013 02:16PM

You also have to keep in mind there *are* certain people who will never be satisfied and have a personal vendetta against the staff, right?

sevriis May 22, 2013 02:35PM

Pretty much this.

istirith May 23, 2013 12:34AM

I'm about to satch your mo.

Matrik May 22, 2013 01:30PM

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal! (n/t)

Srev June 17, 2014 07:46PM

I hate using quotes.

satchmo May 22, 2013 01:50PM

Hear here! All I have to add is this: CF makes one demand of its players. Play the game, not the metagame. (n/t)

sevriis May 22, 2013 01:11PM

Wait, is this Matrikian Order Doom-and-Gloom or is this Immspiracy Doom-and-Gloom? (n/t)

Matrik May 22, 2013 12:59PM

Positivity's divine power does UNSPEAKABLE things to AllThingsGloomy! (n/t)

The Faithful of Nazmorghul May 22, 2013 04:10PM

Huh. You get it. You really get it.

Matrik May 22, 2013 06:28PM
