(hmm, quickly, before Lili invalidates my argument again)

Beeficus, in the future, if you are going to make a post, please refrain from bring the same old drama to this forum time and time again. If you can come up with something new and invigorating, that would be a refreshing change and something worthy of reading, but repeatedly crying about the same topics, generally pvp-related, again and again is old. Even my foray into this thread, intended to be fun, is less enjoyable and more like having to smack the animal because it peed on the floor.

You yourself admitted that you were trying to publicly force the CSRs to bend to your will by raising this drama thread. You weren't asking for clarification until after the drama explosion you were seeking, which still didn't work. In the future, if you are going to make a post, please refrain from doing this. You would also do well to remember that saying the same false thing over and over again doesn't suddenly make it true.

So certain of TI's guilt were you, yet you backed down instantly after learning a tactic they use. Maybe you can take that tactic (and other related things) and perform better at future battles. In the future, if you are going to make a post and your intent is to learn new tactics, just ask instead of trying to start drama.

Cooperation is how enjoyment of the game rises. When you don't know something, you ask and learn. You would do well to remember that there is always someone out there who knows something you do not, and to accept that maybe, just maybe, you're not number one.

You would also do well to follow your own advice, and not put words in my (or anyone else's) mouth. "In the future if you are going to respond to my posts, please read my words as they are written, not as you think they might be intended".

Perhaps you'd stop hemorrhaging guild members and officers, and perhaps other guilds would be more inclined to work with you, if you treated them like equals, and fellow players, rather than subjects to carry out your whims who dare not question your actions and decisions or suggest that you do anything differently. People don't take kindly to attempts at manipulation, such as the way you've attempted to manipulate the CSRs and other posters in this thread. People also like to think that their questions, comments, and concerns are listened to, instead of ignored.


Now, all that aside, you know what TI wants? They may not tell you this, but from the time that I spend around them and talking with them, they want fun and exciting battles. Do you know the two battles I've heard them nerdgasming over the most? The loss at Ginti and when you guys pushed Loria to a defense. Your initial push at Loria was awesome, but then you fell apart.

People who PvP because they enjoy it like to win, sure, but more important is the battle itself, regardless of who wins or loses. A loss in a well-fought game is far more enjoyable than curb-stomping your opponent. It wouldn't surprise me if Yaka told you what he did because he wanted you guys to try to improve a little bit, to make it a little more exciting for everyone. (Some people like the added challenge of controlling multiple characters, and the extra rush it causes, and some don't)

It's a game, it's meant to be something fun and enjoyable. It's not a job, it's not something that will raise or lower oil prices around the world. It's not something you get your knickers in a bunch over. Lose the sense of entitlement, lose the "uptightness", and play the game as a game, something you win sometimes and something you lose sometimes, but the overall goal is to just have fun.

Erizon, sorry didnt read, dont want to argue anymore hence bowing out of the thread.

Lil, Yaka, I did say it wasnt fool-proof, just offered Garla one possibility. Wasnt suggesting that should be the sole way to determine use of 3rd party software. Your explanations did satisfy me and I wont bring this subject up again.

While Yakapo's explanation doesn't explain every suspicious encounter I've had with him or seen, I'll accept it and drop the topic now.

If this is the case, why can we not have fair fun battles anymore? Why does declaring on a guild's OP automatically cause a counter-declare and threats to "take everything we have" then? Why add that intimidation? Why threaten to take our allies OP if we attack? If they really want a good battle, they should accept a single attack and not try to scare away attackers with these threats and actions. We are not scared to lose an OP, but others may be put off from supporting, and you may end up fighting a weak little force which isn't fun for anybody. It's a game and shouldn't cause so much stress.

I'm not trying to stir up anything new with this, just leaving it here for everyone's consideration. Maybe some day soon we will be having more fun battles as frienemies, but something has to change. I know both sides have done counter-declares in the past, so I am not just targeting one group - I don't want to see a discussion about that.

Yesterday I decided to leave Ryzom. Having slept on it, I will wait until my exams are done to know what is really causing me stress.

Hey mate there was no Counter declare until Soloreaper Hit GoC with his alt. I

shame, I had alot of fun fighting you in the couple months I have been on ryzom. always felt like managing to knock you down without someone getting me (rare) was a real accomplishment :) will miss you if you decide to go bud.

I hope that you don't decide to leave, I enjoy our target/target relationship and also working with you in Almati Woods.

carilus this is my point of veiw but i see it like this AA is the largest kara guild at the moment if you worked harder at being more organised and more open to other kara's suggestions you may just combine your efforts and keep kara's as kara's and they may not defect . I was once kara my self and i was given a lot of schooling by a ti member and boy did i enjoy trying to nuke his A** but eventually my thoughts of how battles were organised by the kara the good ideas that were cast aside because they were made buy a newish player and older kara's bitching at each other because the statagies failed made me go kami were i am now and i was saved from leaving the ryzom community

Why do I always get dragged into everything? This isn't true by the way, Annunaki Pantheon hit Westgrove about 15mins after Fount was declared on. To try and make things interesting, and I felt like it was a fun night. I really enjoyed the battles. I look forward to more fun soon. It was a close one at all battles. Great work from both sides.

Sorry. but if I find out they are spying on other programs I am running at the same time as ryzom I wll leave. delete ryzom, and report it as spyware. There is way too much possibility of that being abused. A game company has no right at all to invade my privacy. if another game company is doing so they are setting themselves up for a major lawsuit. Might have to look into that, it would be worth billions :) even if it is in the eula. you cannot sign away your right to privacy.

Again with the IP crap. You nuts or just so damn computer illeterate? What is considered to be "regular IP"? Did you know that on Dial up or 3G connection you get a different IP almost every time you connect? So that won't work. And believe it or not i share a 3G connection with 2 others and 1 of them plays Ryzom on the regular basis.

So just leave the IPs out of it.

Ok I am going to close this this thread as it is getting a bit off topic.
I dont mind letting threads slog it out at the best of times but this one is getting repetitive and a bit too personal.
