    Now that that's been done.. Let me start a list. And, off topic, this is my first post.

    1. The main purpose of this thread is to talk about things you like or dislike about the game. I apologize for being difficult, but I'm pretty sure it's not meant to be a place for argument. I'm sure there's a place this can be taken if the two of you really want to continue this.

    2. Age is just a number. Regardless of your beliefs, -anyone- can agree that what defines you are your experiences throughout life, not how long you've lived it. I've seen both sides of the spectrum at both sides of the number in question. No one is exempt. Age has nothing to do with maturity, I promise you that.

    3. It probably is because of legal reasoning.. that's my two cents on that. now, back to the current dilemma.

    4. Crap is not profanity. If you'd like a list of things considered profane, I will happily deliver a list to both of you containing the 7 words you're not allowed to say on television or radio. Furthermore, as a very great man once said, it isn't the words that are profane but the meaning and intent put behind them when spoken.

    5. Lets see.. Ah, yes, another point, since someone won't be satisfied without it, I'm sure.. I am an adult. If you'd like a more official number, I'm 21, not that far off from 22. I work for a living, and follow the workings of our wonderfully chaotic world.


    6. Game coins are really expensive. Won't be seeing my money go that way.


    All in all, I think that pretty much settles all of it. I beseech both of you to relax and continue on the original topic of the thread. I mean you no ill will, I just really couldn't leave this one alone. It called for my interjection. Oh, and really.. the grammar could be better. There is, after all, a spell checker.

    Anyhow! Anything else?

    Oh yes, and the lag is definantly a problem. But I deal with it, so.. yeah. It could be worse, I promise.

    - 3 hours of seeing players saying "Hi all"
    "Hello"
    "HOW DO I PLAY"
    "HOW DO I GET WOOD"
    "HEEEEEEEEEELP!"

    Though it was nice when other people used their "Speakers" to say "read the QUESTs (bottom-left).

    Seriously, I fully-believe that more than half of the registered users quit the game after they could not find the "QUEST" button (or CITY).

    100% agreed.

    The game lacks community, and
    ...
    Without "speakers", you cannot form a community.

    Perhaps "State" chat should be 100% free.

    Agreed. Or a very strong community that can say "Welcome to Civony <name>".
    Advertising faster than players can say "Welcome to Civony, <name>" is a bad idea... I saw a lot of "--- has obtained --- from an amulet (worth 600 cents)!" and a lot of "Hi all, I'm new too," and after about two hours, "To all newbies: Read the QUESTs".

    I personally quit because you have to pay to get speakers.

    Same. I am thinking that a lot of the forum-posters are.
    We don't offer support at all times though. Mostly, we rely on the community-members to mentor newbies, and the GMs and Moderators do most of their mentoring on weekends.

    Tralnon: I'll settle for that. Thank you. I was more than ready to stop arguing. You also have very good points there. Nice middle ground

    Phenoca: The whole speaker thing is something that severely irks me. This game seems dedicated more to people who are willing to spend a fortune on it. Most registered members will probably quit when they hit the level 10 - must use michelangelo script thing as well. As for the staff, I think minus the one admin (umgeadmin), there is no other staff.

    hehe. That's what I'm good at, diffusing things.


    and the speaker thing does seem to kill the helping new people. it's a shame really.

    Yeah, I would help the new people more, but to do that, I have to have speakers, and no speakers means no helping, so yeah...

    OK,
    a) Thanks Tralnon, I was getting sick of that argument, and external input is always the best way to solve one.
    b) My comment on the 18+ rule; despite being 12 myself, I reeeeeeeeally don't think minors should be mods. I don't like blowing my own horn, but I am substantially more mature than most of my age. I think I'd be a good moderator, but I'd kill myself if some of my distinctly IMmature classmates were. And besides, just I think i'd make a good mod doesn't mean i'll be one. Maybe saying that was just my subconscious being immature :-)
    Long story short, I agree with the rule.
    Yeah, I waffle a bit.

    Oh, and how exactly do you get speakers? This probably isn't the thread for that kind of thing, but like you said, no admin, so just quickly...

    Lightbulb Alliance status

    I would really like a tab on the right Maybe that takes ove the entire right side to show the current alliance members online, if they are being attacked or attacking, and maybe overall strength.
