The Time For War Has Come - Page 3

When did they say they are too good for Poly? Why are you so biased against people? If a team is not "doing ok" then does it deserved to be hammered? Are you saying what the CCs done to the PEACE is fun? I beg to differ. I rather think sportsmanship would mean they do not have to insist on eradicating PEACE, like Impaler suggested.

Jamski · March 18, 2004, 13:35

They never said they were too good for 'poly. But they clearly think so, since they never post here or take part in the RP. It was a last minute desiscion to allow a team from CGN to participate, and it was a very close vote too. Unfortunately it went, in retrospect, the wrong way.

Talking about who is playing for win, you can't cover your ears and eyes and pretend you don't see who is there playing for win can you? Who is the one who would go so far as to pretend to be member of another team simply to gain information? Who is the one who tried to manipulate us through so called "moles"? Who is the one who will not let PEACE go without concerns to other people's feeling simply to make their points? Who is the one brags about their mighty power and says he will simply quit if he might lose? I'm sure the majority of the CCs are not that way. Drogue, Impaler, GeoModders, I see many people that are not simply playing for win. The Drones are simply quietly playing their games as good as they could. What is wrong with that? They enjoy the fun of playing a good game and they have not acted like they would do all things no matter if they are honorable or not as long as it can help them to win. Why would that make them on your bad side?

I could understand the frustrations from Maniac and others. It doesn't feel good when you are beaten even after you put in so much effort. I have experienced similar feelings upon my failures to protect the peace. And I'm sure the feelings will be much stronger if it is about the entire game. But I don't take those feelings into personal relationship. They did the most prudent thing. I didn't do as good. I have to accept that. I also understand their taking this as personal. They are only kids. Some of them haven't even started college yet. I try to think from their perspective and try to offer whatever I could to make them feeling less hurt.

What I don't understand, is why you are so prejudiced against people.

Jamski · March 18, 2004, 13:44

Ok, imagine you are the CyCon.

You open the turn and find that the Drones have attacked you without warning or reson.

How do you feel?

I feel they have played a good game and I would try to fight back as best as I can. What is so hard on that? I would perhaps feel bad too because I should have been able to see it coming but I didn't. I'll put a note to myself that I learnt a new thing.

This is not the first time interforum teams have been interacting in a game. What is so bad about that?

Jamski · March 18, 2004, 14:20

They haven't been interacting, that's what's wrong. Buster is basically playing a PBEM.

We allow people to have different personality. Why can't we allow teams to have different personality?

Jamski · March 18, 2004, 15:02

Different personality is fine. No personality is not. It would be a travesty if the only non-democratic-non-poly-non-team won as best team in an Apolyton democracy team game.

If you want we can fight them over when all the else is settled and prove that you are better than them. But perhaps you are afraid that they ARE the best team.

Jamski · March 18, 2004, 15:09

(They're not a team, but...) Yes, they probably are the best team, and it will take all the other teams working at 100% to have a even chance of beating them. They're that good.

I like and approve the speech.

I have nothing more to add, Comrade Arnelos has said it all much better than most of us could have, excellent work.

Jamski · March 18, 2004, 18:33

Silly Chairman. We're not even making this speech now, are we? I suppose we could change the word Drones for the word CPU every time it appears.

Alas dear Jamski others do not seem to agree with you.

Jamski · March 18, 2004, 19:12

Why do you persist in trying to bring this game to an end? Do you not enjoy it?

I'm all for continuing to play the game, this is what we're doing at the moment. It is your dear friends in the CPU who are threatening to put an end to it.

Jamski · March 18, 2004, 19:32

No. It is YOU and your "supporters" who, knowing the consequences, choose to end the game by attacking CPU.

And the CPU who threaten to end the game if we attack. The game must end sometime anyway.

Jamski · March 18, 2004, 19:47

In a glorious joint victory by us, CPU and PEACE after a long fought fairly balanced war vs the Drones. Or a loss of the same war would be equally satisfying from a gaming perspective.

There's no fun or satisfaction in a massively unfair fight.

We disagree on this point, the only battles one should fight are those where victory is guaranteed.

The Address has been delivered. The planet is now aware of our intentions.

The time for discussing which teams we shall fight and which we shall not is over. Now is the time to fight, in partnership with our chosen allies, until victory is achieved or until we and our allies are defeated.
