fine then. i respect wolf359 because he was fair minded to me in his job as a mod. i never knew wolf359 before he became a mod. i'm a newbie. you are using your perceptions. i am using mine. i respect wolf because he was a fair mod to me. we even work on several topics together here in forums. thats it. that's my perception. i did not know who wolf was before. please don't argue about perceptions because we won't get anywhere with them. you're perception as a veteran player is different from a newbie player like me.
Your whole argument hinged on the fact that it was "the" perception. That is what your post said here, it is what the post in the GC said. That the educators were Irresponsible and that this was magnified by the fact that even certain mods were in on it at various stages.
Now that it has been debunked, the tune changes from "the" perception to "newbie" and "Veteran" perception(s). This plays right into and demonstrates my argument.
That people these days are being brought up to expect only one play style, to expect a soft game where there are moral protections and bindings and where an aggressive play style in a war-game is taboo. To make war for profit or pleasure is argued and campaigned publically to no longer be acceptable. So whenever people follow this
Equally valid play style, it is condemned and they are in fact abused.
They talk about these aggressive players imposing that direct play style upon them while neglecting the very fact that the opposite is far more numerous and just as true. That the passive play styles have been imposing and shaming aggressive players so in a way using public pressure to bully players into adopting a more quiet role. In other words, being forced to drop their own style of play and to take on another’s.
Yet here we are, in another thread aimed at agressive players in a way to rally up public support and hope that the social pressure will bind them to the will of passive players so that they may enjoy their game unmolested while not taking into consideration the opposite argument...
