Actually, I'm trying my best not to be insulting. I have always respected what is being done here and still support the efforts. I just find it strange how unclear it can be when it's said to be so cut and dry. Mechanical accuracy wins, so why the policy decision in one regard and not another?applejack wrote:blah blah blah, insults, trash talk
I don't really give a rat's ass if you respect my opinion. I've always respected Derrick and I'm just not sure why there's a line drawn where it is. I thought the line was mechanical accuracy and leaving some bad things in and not others with no clear notion of why, leaves me wondering what the reasoning is.
I know it's easy for you to just throw big red flags up because I play somewhere else too. No shit, so do a lot of people. Some left for reasons unknown, and honestly, who cares?
What they're doing where I play most is just as important to me as what's being done here. There's a drive to build something specific in the realm of Ultima, that I am very into, as a gamer.
Should we ostrasize everyone who's got a different opinion or speaks their mind about the functions here, if they play other shards? Shit, that pretty much leaves out no one.
So seriously applejack, it would be better if you haters would just save it. You're not doing yourself any favors dragging 'who plays where' into every conversation I get involved in. You don't see me bringing up (aside from once or twice in IRC) the shards cA and other guilds have/are playing on, and they still post here.
I also think more prominent/specific shards should work out Shard Gates that allow you to gate your character, with no holdings (thing Terminator style travel, just not through time), to their shards and back. It would only bring this already dwindling freeshard community, in it's entirety, closer together. Crazy thoughts for a crazy world, I know.
