IOT Developmental Thread

Oh, you told me.

You're right, I could had used better wording, so I'll use this analogy.

Let's say you, in elementary school, was the loser kid whom nobody likes, besides their very close 1-6 friends because you're smart, love history, and video games (Face it, most of us were or are). Now, when your class is playing kickball, no one ever picks you, and almost everyone tells you to go away. How'd you feel then? (This, of course, assumes that you wanted to play said game of kickball, so don't give me crap like "Hey, I wouldn't want to play it anyways").

Nobody ever mentions me. I'm like the adorable sidekick who just happened to get into more almost-war situtations. I even gave you that advice. Way to repay me.

Sorry, and I'm kinda trying to make my points quick and easy.

PS: I wasn't actually crediting Joecoolyo here, only saying what he did (Or what you did) wasn't powergaming.

This will become the quote of the month for September

I agree.

I have never supported Democracy, or a total dictatorship. As I have any times, we need a handful of Core Concepts drilled into IOT so as they cannot be removed, at least in the base game. Other issues that are important but not necessary for the game to function should be voted on.

PS: I should and will stop calling this IOT V (Or IOT period.) I am now going to call it "The Fake False Version of Taniciusfox's game" TFFTG. From now on, when I say TFFTG, you'll know what I mean.

Nobody else recognizes the name. Your 'core rules' will quickly be broken by you, you've broken most/all of the rules already...

Well that is quite rude. No need to be mean because you're not getting what you want.

I love it how that Zack and everyone else is ignoring my post because they know I'm right.

Not because I'm not getting what I want, but because your "Tyranny of the Majority" is banning me without cause.

I agree SO MUCH with this post its not even funny.

I know! It's exactly like how you and Dommy keep ignoring mine! You know I'm right! Thanks!

On a different topic, I'd suggest group owners delete (is that possible?) there groups when they have outlived there usefulness (eg. the group disbands or IOT is over). Might help with the forums.

There are many causes as stated before, You are just ignoring the facts and truth

Then allow me to use this analogy then, running alongside yours. Who is Omega? The guy who has it all, seems to be admired, but is disliked by all but a few? Who is Domination? Omega's buddy, who sucks up to teachers, and then plots with his rebel friend.

Of course, the only reason I posted was because of your last post.

My own post, distipe quoting Zack, is also responding to your post, as your post is also quoting Zack.

Umm... I seem to remember you were doing the same things I've been doing. You just quit sooner.

Umm... Perhaps from Prior games.

No. I realized that I was impugning upon my honor by being in alliance with you and did the only thing I could to try and salvage it. And you still haven't addressed any points I've made in posts.

Lighthearter wanted to try it out at IC and for fun, you weren't.

Your analogy is flawed. Never once have I said I'm Mr. Popular. In fact, I'm heavily disliked in this game, as I'm a radical. The only reason you probably never noticed is because we were allies in IOT IV. I'm going to leave the Domination part to himself.

 

[Cull]

Wait, you were disliked? I can understand IOT2, but you were disliked in IOT4? I'm confused. (jking sign).

Yes, it was a bad analogy. I just kinda made it up to respond to your post about no one responding. Unless someone directly addresses me, I'm out. Dunno which side is right, and frankly I'll just wait.

 

[GenMarshall]

IIRC, it was in IOT4. Mainly due to the European-American relations.

(This, of course, assumes that you wanted to play said game of kickball, so don't give me crap like "Hey, I wouldn't want to play it anyways").

While it's a good analogy, it's unfortunately inappropriate for the situation. Take that picture, and imagine the kid forces himself into the game, never passes the ball, never lets go of the ball, and when the teacher blows the whistle and tells him he's not following the rules, he throws the ball at the teacher's face.

That's the kind of people we are opting to ban from the game. While I admit that Dommy and ilduce do liven the game up a bit, they do so in the wrong way. Joecoolyo in IOT4 made it clear that his power politics were symptomatic of his roleplaying, and he played within the rules. Dommy did nothing but disrupt the process. Practically every second post was his, on some inane, typically off-topic subject. He didn't seem to grasp the "role-play" aspect, instead making and breaking alliances every turn, or within the same turn. He did nothing to advance the game save bring everyone to war.

Your analogy would be apt if Dommy was the guy who messed up once and never got a second chance. On the contrary, he's had plenty of opportunities to shape up, but he quite pointedly proves he has no interest in doing so. Why shouldn't we ban him?

I'm not saying we should hold regular lynch mobs, but there are a few people who only detract from the experience. Mathalamus was the original poster child. Domination was even worse. You say you're disliked, but you play by the rules of the game. This ties in with the subject of game etiquette. We can't ban someone just because we don't like their avatar, or their politics, or their grammar. We can ban someone for cause.

Oh, good grief. This has plummeted downhill. I apologise for my small part in it.

QFT. I apologize for my decently-large part in this mess.
