Draugluin shouldn't have opened his yap on this issue to begin with, but that doesn't mean he can shut mine.
Draugluin, throughout this thread, from Carver's first reply if anyone had a legitimate point that was the least bit
difficult for you to answer, you lept on an insignificant detail of their post instead of addressing the meat... or
refused to answer the post at all. Now, there's probably a dozen people (including myself) who have the power to
delete a post, so I guess I'll never know who deleted my post (although I can say with some degree of certainty that
it wasn't me).
Refusing to answer 'the tough questions' doesn't make them go away, in fact it makes the problem worse. When Chrysler
refused to talk to Michael Moore he won an Oscar crucifying them in the movie "Roger and Me," creating a PR nightmare
for the company. Of course, I don't remember for sure if it was Chrysler for sure. It'll probably turn out to have
been Ford, and Draugluin will say that, and ignore my actual point...
Speaking of Ford... once upon a time, Henry Ford announced the ground-breaking Model T: "You can have any color you
like, as long as it's black." Well, Draugluin you're no Henry Ford, and T2T isn't a 'new product.' I (and probably
every single player in Arda) feel that the game Code should support the way players want to play. Administration
cannot ask players to play the way they think we should, or expect us to like playing in a game environment that we're
telling you isn't enjoyable. This seems to be the way you want to run Arda. It's also the reason I asked you to either
rethink your stance or resign. Arda is a product. The features of the product should match the demand of the
consumers... asking consumers to patronise a product they're not asking for (and in fact are telling you that these
features are repugnant) is sheer folly.
So... back to the initial point of this thread. It is the very nature of Freedom that keeps FRs from cooperating. In
Tolkien's world the 'Free Races' weren't really cooperating, and our own game mirrors that. So, good! Except... that
we're not really happy with the way the War effects the game under the new system. If the players are playing the way
they should... the problem isn't the players, it's the system.
