If they banned everybody that visits here they would have about five people playing. I sincerely doubt a number even as low as that. They don't even put instructions in video games anymore, because they know people don't read them. And for the most part that's what people are here for: How do I...? I must be the only person who read instruction manuals cover to cover. It was great material for when I had to drop the kids off at the pool. So in a lot of ways it's kind of silly to ban people just for coming here or even posting here. It's more about what you post. Many of the topics on here have been discussed on the gdb, it's just that they are discussed in an obscure way or you have to really dig for them. Agreed. |

Before i was banned i would consistently point out the blatant arbitrary elitism in the "rules"
Suffice to say they didnt like that too much

i don't condone griefing or being a pain in the ass for the sake of it just because then you get dudes like bobo and whatever other names he went under taking a single example and painting us all with the same brush. In fairness his "griefing" was limited to just making some accounts and playing the game. with that said tho i think people can figure out my position on whether or not i will try to police behavior of people outside of here (i won't) Damn straight. |

I read the log of the staff/player meeting over on the GDB, searching for some sort of hope.
Someone asked them what their biggest future plans are.
Maintaining the game.
Tweaking apartments.
Trying to increase their limitations on noble house employees.
Sigh. Just sigh.

Personally, I enjoyd the world's least subtle dodge of a question when someone asked about player population by city. i mean... wow. Nyr is as subtle and a chainsaw to the face.

I remember a thread on the forums where people were pretty dead set on getting Black Sands guys to admit that their theme is Armageddon's rip off.
Yeaaah. It really worked out well.

Someone better alert WotC (Delerak are you up to the task?) We can't have anyone using anyone else's ideas or people might start building on others' work and make valuable creations the originators never would have imagined or thought to try. youtu.be/coGpmA4saEk |

Nothing like the "everyone does it" excuse for plagerism. it never gets old. No matter how frequently it gets remixed. also i agree with jc that videos pretentious as fuck. It's so intellectually dishonest it started giving me a headache trying to ignore all the unlogic via equivocation. sequels are exactly the same as unlicensed ip theft. Isaac Newtons comment about standing on the shoulders of giants (making advances on science by not re-researching the findings of others) is totally him saying he just recreated the works of others. oh and sequels are totally all the same as stealing other people's ideas. And sometimes not crediting them. to put it in terms of less vitrolic mockery: that video does not withstand even shallow examination, it is willfully dishonest, and it is factually inaccurate in numerous parts. What do you mean by "folk art"?
I didn't get that fron the video. The dipshit claiming everyone copies everything so its okay used the phrase "folk art" in the introduction. Jump to 1:32 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coGpmA4saEk&t=1m32s). it's right before he tells us "You could say that everything is a remix" which is technically true. You can also say up is down or that 2 + 2 = 5, because the universe doesnt prevent people from spouting out utter nonsense like "everything is a remix". |
