I had totally forgotten that I made that point: But it's worked brilliantly in other games.
Ultimately, whether you all like it or not, changes have to be made, and some of you are bound to dislike them in one form or another - It's a necessity, and it has been for a long time. Now we have the ability to implement change, it should be happening ASAP.
I know Magpie has some ideas that are going to ruffle a few people's feathers as it is - But if he cracks the advertising nut, then if you jump from the ship, it will sail on without you no matter how much you perceive your self-importance. There's about 30-40 people at a push who use this forum. There are still well over 5x that many outside of it who may agree with some ideas that this apparent 'elitist inner sanctum' will/have disagreed with.
Other games are not bushtarion, hence
other games. Games are not all completely interchangeable, and your idea which might work in other games, is a catastrophically terrible one for this game.
Moving on, I'm not against change DaX. I'm against stupid changes, ones that will
harm the game, not enhance it. Any glance at my posting history would prove that; but that's inconvenient to your "trollololol" attitude I guess. I also don't think your attitude to change happening ASAP is sensible either, change is best introduced slowly, with a chance to monitor results, and tweak and adjust settings as necessary. Wholesale changes will be much harder to control with a much higher chance of something going horribly wrong.
I don't think anyone here has threatened to quit over new changes, I certainly haven't, and I'm willing to try most everything once, but I will expend considerable effort and time to have it seen to that stupid changes are not implemented just for the sake of ZOMG NEW CHANGES. I don't know anyone here who thinks of themselves as an elite inner sanctum and i certainly don't think i am the arbiter of all things bushtarion, far from it, but i'm reasonably logical and capable of using my brain. If i disagree with something, it's rarely just because I want to, it's also because I have a problem with it, and you have ignored all of my problems and just accused (me i assume) of being an elitist. (Madness!) Also, it is worth noting that just because there is a long standing talented core, doesn't mean you should ignore them! If people like Polo, Martin, Dachi, CF and others told me my idea was stupid, I would take them at their word. If people have problems with your idea, and just because you perceive them to be an "elitist" group, there's no reason to ignore them. Those people are an "elite" because they are good at the game. They probably have a case when they make a point.
And if all those people who you speak of agree with the ideas being suggested, by all means bring them forth. I don't have problem with change, I just have a problem with stupid.
Also, there is no excuse, rationale, or logic for forcing troops to stay at home. That idea is just plain awful. Anyone can see that, except you. :roll:
) I can see that potential change killing a part of the game. The reason changes like that work in other games, is because you aren't as likely to lose weeks worth of work in a single tick. Whilst I in no way condone sitting around saving troops, I can not agree with forcing troops home for any amount of ticks, for any reason, Its just a bad idea.
