[Update Edit] On Stupidity

Day 2,471, 13:46 Published in USA USA by biaxident

I decided to actually write something this time. No pictures. I'll keep it short, promise 🙂



On Missions,

Yes, including myself, we all randomly add people to "friends" lists, spam the hell out of media, hire employees to our loss and flood the market with more goods as if its really necessary, build a weapons company just to complete a mission and dissolve it immediately.

Looks like someone put a lot of thought on these missions... I'm sorry but this is plain stupid, what were you expecting when you asked thousands of players to publish 4 articles each?

Moving on...


On Tourney,

By now everyone realized GAMA wins all the gold and the rest of us gets the middle finger. According to some articles even "Mentions" reward could not be won. Now you could say that no-one was expecting this much of a difference but, who DID come up with the idea of splitting rewards into tiers? Especially the idea to anchor the rewards to 1st place kills.

Clearly a brilliant idea, thoroughly examined and well thought...

EDIT: As a result of the update today, top 25 regiments gets some gold as well. I'm not going to twist this and try to somehow make it look bad. This sure is better than the previous conditions. BUT, you have to understand that this changes nothing in terms of the "brilliance" behind this tournament. You have simply given 1250 people (instead of 50) considerable amount of gold, the rest could suck it (This is the amusing part for Top 25). On the other hand, over 10,000 others and the game could have benefited from this tournament; if you decided to simply promote activity and give everyone some gold depending on their kills. The amount of gold you distributed that way would probably be way less than what you are going to distribute now, plus the community could finally say you have created a player-friendly event, instead of a visa-friendly one.

Hence my statement remains the same as above: clearly a brilliant idea


On Houses,

Yeah, who's building those? No one? uh-oh 🙁 Great idea by the way. Except when you first introduced them you also "ghost"-introduced Q7s. It wrote +200 health center for Q7 houses on the house market, the info which you removed after realizing the f*** up. To make things even more hilarious, your admins on the forums started a rumor: Q6 and 7s would include +10 regeneration as well.

Great isn't it?


I suppose this is how small scale companies are run. I experience that while looking for a job myself in many fun ways. It is both amusing and annoying to face an HR responsible who is simply going over your CV, asking if you really went to that university or even the time you graduated - ITS ON THE CV YOU IDIOT - This takes about 15-20 minutes of your day. Not to mention the 2 hour round trip flight plus the costs that you wanted to avoid in the first place because you simply don't have a job...


Given how we still are here, playing this game, it must be amusing and annoying at the same time. Some of us just don't know how to savor the amusing part of it 😉

Oh and dont forget to comment I'm on part 2/2 😛
