What is happening??? Pls enlighten us
I think i am not the only one, not playing anymore, but still interested whats going on etc. watching sandmans from day to day reading forums etc.
I remember times when there were plenty threads on forum, giving atleast some overview about whats happening in pa alliance/planet/gal wise, reports about battles, war declarations etc. etc.
I think this aspect of the forum was one of the reasons new players actually played and old players came back, because they got interested again, and even if not, atleast entertained...also for the ones who are not actively playing in alliances, might get interested to join alliances/create ones etc. etc.
So i would be really happy to get some info, being one of these guys who are hungry for some entertainment/info about the round, even when not playing anymore...
I saw Denial were quite bashed over the last days, who are the blocks, is Ascendancy going to win again (hiding their biggest players out of tag still? cov oppers?)... where there big battles worth to be shown, whats going on behind the scenes...
Thanks for your replies in advance

Maybe its because everyone knows that posting threads will only get you moaning, whining, flaming and nonsense

Re: What is happening??? Pls enlighten us
Forum is full of #ascendancy players, write against them = get flammed, everyone disagrees with you
write for them = no one really interested
the outside of ascendancy posters post = mass flame from ascendancy posters
basically ascendancy ruin PA in more ways than one.
also blame Denial as well

Yeah, I always just assumed thats what forums were for
but anyways, everything seems to be going the same as the other rounds...everyone hates [Enter current or previous #1 alliance name here] everyone is looking to another one for an upset, and whether or not it will come is about a 50/50 shot.
So, as usual, I dont care

Re: What is happening??? Pls enlighten us
Alot of the people I've met in PA have basicly all said that they don't care about the forums caus it's full of pricks...
Also the Ascendancy people have something to do with it, they kinda feel the need to make every thread go about them in some way or the other...
This round it has been "ok" but that's probably caus there haven't been that much threads really.
Added comment for making this post acceptable:
PA is all about Ascendancy!

Re: What is happening??? Pls enlighten us
Who cares what a bunch of pricks in asc respond if u make a post / thread? I know for sure I couldnt care less when I wasnt asc myself.
Tbh I think its more like nothing interesting happening, and no one wants to draw attention to them seing how #1 isnt decided yet.

Re: What is happening??? Pls enlighten us
RIght lets clear a few things up here with the help of our good friends at wikipedia:

An Internet user typically generates a flame response to other posts or users posting on a site, and such a response is usually not constructive, does not clarify a discussion, and does not persuade others. Sometimes, flamers attempt to assert their authority, or establish a position of superiority over other users. Other times, a flamer is simply an individual who believes he or she carries the only valid opinion. This leads him or her to personally attack those who disagree. In some cases, flamers wish to upset and offend other members of the forum, in which case they can be called "trolls". Most often however, flames are angry or insulting messages transmitted by people who have strong feelings about a subject.
|
This is what I would call a strict definition of a 'flame' - by and large Ascendancy do not 'flame' to a serious extent and get away with it. In fact some of them get banned for doing it.
Quote:
Some equate flaming with simply letting off steam, though the receiving party may be less than pleased. Similarly, a normal, non-flame message may have elements of a flame -- it may be hostile, for example -- but it is not a flame if its author seriously intends to advance the discussion. The word flaming is also sometimes used for long, intensive and heated discussions, even though insults do not occur.
|
In my mind this is perfectly acceptable and sometimes insults can be merely incidental to the whole ambit of the post. First of all understand what a flame actually is, then proceed to get a little less highly strung.
As the moderator, it's obvious that Ascendancy have opinions, some stronger than others and they've got them because many of them are clearly experienced at the game. Some of Ascendancy behave like children on the forum, sometimes I suspect quite deliberately; I deal with these people. Others are perfectly articulate and while there are a large number of them, there appears to be no coordinated effort to spam the forum.
What I do recognise is that the fact that Ascendancy have so many posters than can write articulately and make an argument within the rules is that AD does suffer as a result, simply because its very diificult to oppose such a number, a lot of whom seem to be expressing personal opinion as opposed to the Ascendancy line. AD would be better if other alliances chose to take Ascendancy head on - but so far, no alliance has really chosen to do so, which is a shame.

The problem is I work all day and you need to be spending good quality IRC time at a reasonably high level (I was advising ND HC at the time) to actually create a log book. At the moment it's 1 hour a day tops, although this week i've managed to do my ankle in so I'm stuck at home all day in some pain

Re: What is happening??? Pls enlighten us
YOU CAN DO IT!
It was a good idea though, a good way to make the avg peon get a decent update on what was going on. Give the job to someone else? Let diff. allies do a week each?

Re: What is happening??? Pls enlighten us
It takes quite a bit of time as well. Fair enough 20 minutes or half an hour doesn't sound like that much until you realise you're spending it in front of a computer screen typing when you could be sitting in your back garden drinking beer.

Whoever writes it has to do so in a reasonably open and unbiased way - the idea of the logbook was that it was descriptive, tried to look at things from the outside and provided some basic, uncontraversial analysis of the situation. If someone capable and committed enough to fill all the criteria to write a logbook stepped forward, I would be more than happy for them to write a logbook.
As JBG says it takes time to physically do, on time of having enough active time to being able to write something that is reasonably accurate. If it was resurrected an idea would be to paste the latest update in its own separate thread and let people discuss the situation at a particular time.

Re: What is happening??? Pls enlighten us
and again you decide adding negative comments and even dicussing about the sense of "flaming" instead of giving an overview
i agree that the logbook was very nice to read, but if not one single person got the time to write such a log, whats wrong with several ppl giving their views to the avg player/non playing ppl?
seems i am indeed one of the ancient, looking at this game and the interaction/community in a very old fashioned way (though i doubt its the worst)
P.S
hey jerome, maybe almost finished uni but have to wait for one exam in january, so maybe we´ll see

Nothing at all, I just won't give it a sticky.
But the fact is people don't contribute this information.

Its a very exciting sprint to the finishline! 4 alliances in the fight for the first spot, and only 25 hours left.
What would Jack Bauer do!
