Game Development: World 5

[Goom]

W/E honestly. I've obviously caused a stir. good or bad. touched a nerve, that's good.

again, you overestimate your importance. our reactions are that of indifference or amusement, not indignation

Important enough to be quoted and miss-quoted a few times in the span of 10 minutes and deemed important enough not to be important enough.

you used the wrong insult. just say "I don't like you, Ionico, you are american and I am not, I don't like your beliefs and I dislike the fact you posted something that hurt my feelings or threatened my security" and I'll understand and say sorry.

I'm sorry. I just miss my american friends... *bawl bawl bawl*

I think it's not about being American. There are lots of nice Americans playing. Most do not have problems with the term communist as far as I can see. You also have to understand that contrary to your original post a large number of Koreans play this game and gaming is far more of a national sport there than the US. There is also a large amount of Russians playing too. I think your post gave the impression that the "Americans who run the world demand change and you should bow to us if you know what's good for you". That may not have been what you intended the post to say, but that's what came across to me and likely a few others. Of course you do not speak for all Americans, so perhaps just phrase your posts to state your own personal opinions.

If you want to make this game modeled after a communistic society. then do so.... just DO NOT SAY SO. let people interpret it for what it is. Let americans think it's "tribal, or small village" let others think it's communism. don't LABEL it. you can flame me all you want, I expect I have TONS of things that can be contradicted... who doesn't really? ever? so go ahead. But if you feel the same, let this developer know, so he can make changes for his own benefit as well as ours. I love this game, I think it's great, and I'd like to see it get bigger, and I'm even willing to pay for it.... but not if all my friends are scared off and I'm left alone because you personally insulted them with your personal posts.

Dear Ionico: I am an American, and you make me ashamed to say that. The sheer entitlement and arrogance you display here is not only disappointing to myself as a fellow of your country, but an insult to those of other nations. You successfully indicate how little you feel they or their constituent players represent. On behalf of my country, I apology for this moron.

Also: While the subject here is communism not socialism, I wonder if you're aware you live in a socialist democratic republic?

Now let's see... Empress.... An approximated 7k LP for 3 hours. 7000LP*12Empress' - 84000 BASE LP. Add that 360%... An epic 302400 LP.

To be honest, The possible LP gain of the new system simultaneously shocks, surprises, scares, and excites me.

I feel the same way after that post. I also feel that I will never get my own Ant-Hill after everyone reads this post QQ

Just doin' mah jawb.

The whole thing with Ant Queens and such is seriously broken, and needs to be fixed. Thank god for testing.

Also, Ionico? Could you PLEASE get your head out of the '50's and the Cold War?

Ionico has admitted that he is, in fact, one of the Capitalist/Communist people he is ranting against

For all who don't know it anna1982 is Jason 1982. Yes the same guy who was rageing in this forum thread earlyer. He goes by Abbie and Anna in game. Happy hunting all.

I spoke for the ignorant, I am fully aware. if you want to flame me for that understand that I have a broad understanding, what I called for here is sensitivity all around. I didn't say anything was wrong nor was it meant to sound that way. I wanted people to understand that SOME OTHER PEOPLE aren't as open minded as us, and to please keep that in mind. Open-mindedness is certainly not an "only american" thing. that's what I was promoting, on BOTH SIDES. and that's what it was. please don't "apologize for me" when you don't understand what I'm saying. hear it for what it was. Sensitivity issues. ALSO I'm VERY CLEAR about it in my post that I have NO PROBLEM with communism. it's TRUE! I DO NOT! so stop saying I do.
