"War" Game

[12agnar0k]

Heres another thing I read atleast once a week
(would be more but I dont like to read all the rubbish the kids put on this forum, only so much one can take)

"It's a War game"

It's not a war game.

It's a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game ... (MMOPRG)
GET IT RIGHT
It's not a war game, thats just the role most of you hair pin trigger yankee doodles or wannabe of that characteristic players choose too play, doesn't make it and never will make it a "WAR" game. It can be a build nice stats and feed the penguins game or a Epic Trader Man just like a FRENGIE!..

ME (I would say JESUS or GOD but I don't like to talk in third person)

Thats some wisdom for you.

It can be played as a war game considering the game is called stargatewars and not stargateletsgohugbunnies

Just my opinion

Agreed 12ag... People choose to play the game as a war game, and try to force that mentality on everyone else who plays and use that excuse to get away with anything they want, assuming since its a "war" game, anythings fine... It is just a game after all though so in the end it doesn't matter. Just because someone doesn't particularly want to just go and mass random alliances to get high ME doesn't make their play style wrong... it means they wanna build stats and get a good account so that when they do have to go to war they can last more than 2 massing/rebuilds and not have to quit out right away. That's my opinion... Sorry if you disagree.

Oh 12aggy, not again. It is a war game and the whole resource production side of it is just a means to an end

Now I'm going to do the bit that I know really annoys you

It's called

StarGateWars

NOT

StargateStatbuilding

You're right.. this is an MMORPG, but it's an MMORPG which takes place in a warlike setting. Hence the title.

Then why are you so determined to build up your stats...



Besides its not called stargatewars, its called the gate wars because of copywright issues , ^.^

...

And Clarkey, If everyone is allowed to play the way they wish then this is not invalid, as Im not disagreeing that people can choose to role play war, Im disagreeing with the fact they think its a war game,.. (Like say Counter Strike, where the only objective is to War, i.e Shoot, you could run around jumping about but you'd never win the game's goal) SGW has no goals, thus isnt a war game. You make your own goals and join this "wonderful" community and play how you want to. Just because 95% of the people choose to play with swords "Yargh" doesnt make it a war game. Its a MMPORG, if you wish to make a statement about how you like to beat people up and someone else should stop whining about it please use the proper termonlogy.

"Yar!! I be a War Role Player, and their aint bugger all you can do about it mr daisy chain lover."

As apposed to the fictional

"It's a WAR game noob, stargateWAR, get over it" - which is just pompous and irroneous

See is that so hard.

[/spoiler]

you can have stats yes, and a huge account, ok in theory you can win a war coz you have more resources but i can promise you that if REK, JMX, Tearjerker, Tokko or Easy (yes there are many more but these were the first that came to mind) were at 100m army and you were 300m army and you had a 1m UP when theirs was only 350k that coz they have war experience they would still wipe the with you, no matter how much you were to rebuild, and the point that they also know it is just numbers a pixels and nothing more, which is the best way at looking at the game.


If this were not a war game, why give us defense and attack weapons, soldiers and planets ? why not give us pruners and ribbon so we can cut roses, tie a nice little bow around them and give them to each other ?

we have attack and defense weapons there for it is a war game

if you stat build and get massed, mass back like du5t1n from Squad UK did when i massed him for xmas, he massed me for New Year (good work lol).

so stop whining and start massing, ME has nothing to do about massing it is just to keep track how much you do it (whats yours at TJ, tokko, easy and willie )

[Mordack]

Like I said, almost everything about the setting and even the dynamic of this game lends toward it being a war game. Almost everything you can do and everything you can purchase is war based (weapons, soldiers, motherships etc). Even stats, which many of us so proudly build, are meant to used in warfare and in response to other accounts. Your attack, your covert and your defense are all part of the machine. And as for trading and diplomacy.. wasn't it Machiavelli who once wrote that peace is merely the preparation for war?

We're slap bang in the middle of a Hobbesian cycle, ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not.
