[QUOTE=Veliaire;940830]That's this community 100%. There is literally someone mewling about muting this thread and begging leadership to ban me, like I'm an evil person, because I have one offense of racism. Meanwhile he literally is on the watchlist for gamethrowing and has several other prior game-ruining offenses. So he literally throws games, but I'm the bad guy because I'm not PC enough.
And lets not forget about how everyone lets personal feelings disrupt gameplay. I can't even name myself Bill Cosby without people targeting me n1.. but nothing gets done about that.[/QUOTE]
Hey mannn. Even if u always jailor hunt me n1. I agree with u.

[QUOTE=HentaiManOfPeace;940357]Why do you simp so hard for ZZOrange? Belle Delphine I can understand because at least she can make that sexy ahegao face. But this troll is a history of breaking game rules for over 8 years, trolling with a stupid novelty 72222 save that no one plays, plays the game counterintuitively that results in town losses, constantly lies to forumites that he's leaving / has a serious illness / is a person who can change, but it's quite clear he's not. He's a fucking cancer on this community. Listen, mate, if you want to simp for ZZOrange then I'm OK with that. Just make sure to use lube for when you're spreading yourself or docking because the body doesn't self-lubricate as you see in those naughty adult videos.
Also, @ Yuesford / Paopan, I know you're talking behind my back. Go fuck yourself - seriously, you should be a grown man and here you are acting like middle school girl trying to dictate social hierarchy of the population pool. Do you have a PhD in CompSci or some other equivalent? If not, kiss my ass. Probably failed the Gaokao and can't even get get into university to do a BSc to even do a PhD.[/QUOTE]
Sorry. Having a PhD in our field is a disgrace. We're after work experience and certifications after all.

[QUOTE=OzyWho;937498]Someone with my reading speed wouldn't get to 500 posts in 6 hours. (Literally almost half of that of an average adult)
Well, ok, maybe slight exaggeration.
Wrt notes though, I find time management to be tricky for me. I could contemplate an check on everything that I read. I could take notes of every thought I have from posts that induce thoughts or feelings in me. The former is helpful always, the latter is helpful for later in the game. But doing either of them makes me never be up to current. Last 3 games I ended with not reading like half of D1.
It's like the only way a slow reader like me could be up to current in even a moderately active game, I'd have to either thread sit or skim through everything. [S]Maybe even do it like someone on SC2Mafia - not even read the text [I]really[/I], just the tone and judge it in relation to meta and context. [/S][/QUOTE]
That's the thing. You answered your own question. It's time management.
There were some people who are too busy to play the game and they're getting scum-read bcos of it.
And I'll add that people are different, people like me who hate reading (pref. listening or watching) plays FM at a disadvantage.
An sc2 (and other games) would take around 5-50 minutes to watch. On the other hard, re-reading the entire FM would take hours, or even a day (not exaggerating). So yeah, the question that comes to your mind is.. is it worth it?

And to all those people lynched randomly, or insulted for being dense by me I apologize to you guys. To me I was just having fun, but to you, you guys weren't having fun and in a game it's important for everyone to be having fun, not just some at others expense.[/QUOTE]
Don't worry bud. A lot of people are having fun playing with you, including me. Things are bland rn. I asked people around in PM and from another mod (keystone, dm 2.0, ks2, etc.) what they'd think about the system. I don't want to talk about it here. But you, getting permabanned also sealed the deal. No one makes a 72222 save and other fun saves are always initiated a leave train by some people cos it wasn't 933/8331. So yeah, don't worry about it. We had 6 months of fun. Also, Taeja and Innovation are also retiring from the pro scenes, funny coincidence. LOLOL. Only returned in sc2 cos of fuckin Avilo being creepy again.

[QUOTE=HentaiManOfPeace;937476]That's because ZZOrange is a liar and will always be until he leaves. I will not stop until my last dying breath to see him evicted. I honestly would have no issue with someone not saying goodbye and sticking around. But this man is a triple-faced liar. He puts on a fake-news-media name like "Honest Man", gets permabanned for being a dumbass and his shitty saves, then comes onto the forums and you expect him to be an "Honest Man" with his goodbyes, and he completely breaks his promise, and stays around. This is all contradictory to the moniker of being an "Honest Man".
Look, he even encouraged it above. I demand that the admins bring great justice to this world and to the great United States of America and ban this man so he can salvage a sliver of his past self instead of the empty husk he is today.
PS: I will sweeten the deal. If the admins permanently ban his forum account and future iterations of it, I'll permanently leave these forums in exchange.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=BananaCucho;937113]It may not be as serious of a problem as Cubans are facing. But it's still a problem. It's pretty much impossible for new homebuyers to buy a home these days where I live. Gotta settle for condos or townhomes that are smaller than what we bought in 2013, or rent which isn't an investment at all and a shitty thing to have to do. And rent has gone up significantly anyway as well; people are renting single rooms for more money these days than my entire mortgage payment was in 2018 for a 1500 sq ft home. I honestly have no idea how anyone can afford to buy a new home these days on a single income anymore, even with a nice middle class job. And it's just getting worse. Those of us who got in the game at the right time were extremely fortunate.
In 2015 we were living off of one $40k salary, and things were tight. No fucking way we could do that today and have the home we had (which, by the way, was a shitty 3 bed 2 bath split level starter home). And that was only six years ago. I was with the same company then as I am now. New hires coming into that position I had still only make $40k.
Meanwhile my company's stock is through the roof...[/QUOTE]

Hello everyone!! Join us at the YOLO mentality club. Having an anxiety-free life is amazing. Failures are considered as an adventure and experience as you progress your way thru life..
Treat it like an MMORPG or Sims 4. It's fun!! Don't get me wrong though, I'm not a hippie.

[QUOTE=Yodaddy2;937099]I like the detailed post. Although I normally do not report racism slurs unless someone spams it constantly where it becomes griefing.
I am not a racist when I say this but, In my opinion, I feel like gamethrowing, rolequitting, and griefing is a way more violent crime to commit in a game rather than saying the N word or a slur.
Mostly kids play this game and they think it’s hilarous to say a slur to rile someone up and start a commotion. I have no issue with people reporting it and getting banned. I think that behavior should be removed from the game. Hopefully, it will calm down soon.[/QUOTE]
Bro.. You really hit it. Being racist online doesn't mean you are racist deep inside. Some people, well like us are just blabbing these slurs to find someone to annoy.. cos you know, it's kinda fun when people are getting mad at someone (k fine I meant me) whom they didn't even know IRL and knowing it was just a fuckin game. So yeah, I slightly disagree with you cos its really fun. :laugh:
Ur right.. But gamethrowing should be carefully tread. I renamed a lot of gamethrowing replays cos it's fun to watch from time to time. But I never submit them cos I know punishing them will greatly affect the player base.
But yeah.. The question is.. [COLOR="#FFFF00"]Is it worth it though..?[/COLOR] Enforcing [COLOR="#00FF00"]WL[/COLOR]/[COLOR="#FF0000"]BL [/COLOR]against racism, slurs, etc at the expense of killing the player base? I mean.. Compared to April 2021~ or earlier versus today. The lobby takes ages to fill up now.
Aamirus expresses her opinion on the matter that it's quite the opposite cos there are more lobbies created.. But the thing here is, more lobbies created == more lobbies failed to fill-up == less playerbase.
Let's not kid ourselves.. If we really wanted a "clean" game, we are playing town of salem, not the sc2 arcade.
Also, I assure you that most of the player base here are already adults.. where they returned from the game for the sake of nostalgia. Let's accept it, the RTS era is dead. Most kids are into Minecraft, MOBAs, Battle Royale, FPS, newly released AAA games, and whatever those popular twitch channels are playing.

I mean yeah.. It's quite unfair for me actually XD. Game would've changed dramastically when ZZOrange was modkilled and I wasn't when we're like playing in a similar playstyle. Hence, people can confirm that ZZorange was town and I probably wasn't bcos I wasn't modkilled.
It's my 2nd game at FM. But my first game consisted of [MENTION=45595]Oberon[/MENTION] fake claiming as "sheriff" whom he called out [MENTION=29377]Marshmallow Marshall[/MENTION] as "scum" on day 2. Thus putting him at L-1.. was almost close though but some players are inactive at that time. But he wasn't given a warning or modkilled. So there's that, so I thought it wasn't against the rules too..
Maybe.. I could've won that game as scum if MM was lynched followed ? I don't know.. Don't want to think about alternative history.
In any case. After a game/battle ends, it's all water under the bridge.
