I don't have an issue with blocks. I have an issue with stagnation.
I am not a reason for blocks. I don't EVER get into politics early on anyway. What I do do, is wait till round is well under way and try and create war to avoid stagnation. It is a war game after all.
If you really believe that people would team up just to annoy me, then you are on a different planet. As someone who does like to create war, I rarely, if ever, speak for any alliance. Last round for instance I was in a joint room, helping organise something, without being in any alliance. This round is no different. But to suggest that alliances would choose their politics to annoy one planet, well, how stupid can you be
I don't have an issue with blocks. I have an issue with unbreakable blocks that stay together regardless. And that goes for any block on any side.
Fact is, we are the few left playing a dying game, and it probably won't be here as soon as another game is released.
But instead of trying to encourage players, we actively push them away by comments such as:
'Take a long walk off a short pier'
'Exile yourself, we are saving this spot for someone' and my least favourite,
'We don't play this for your enjoyment, but for ours, and we don't care if you get bored and quit (and we don't care if our 'ally' wins').
People can blame jolt for demise, or any of the other companies that ran it, or pateam, or ace or whatever, but the players themselves have to take some of the responsibilty of creating a game in which frankly, people don't want to play, and anyone who tries to make it fun or different, gets slapped back down. The forums are an extension to that.
I helped bring some guys back from the old days, and I am seeing logs daily of them being abused by people in this community who should know better, as well as in this forum. It is a disgrace.
In my opinion, of course.
