I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration - whereby those important events of the past, usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, are celebrated with a nice holiday - I thought we could mark this twenty fourth of may, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.
There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now orders are being issued through E-mails and mods with brains will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the ban may be used to silence conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this game, isn't there?
Bots and glitchers...Unfairness and merging. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance, coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those who are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told...if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? Ban. Trolling. Flame wars. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you and in your panic, you turned to the now changed, corrupt game Evony. It promised you fairness. It promised you fun. And all it demanded in return was your money and devotion.
Last night, I sought to end that silence. Last night, I preached to many players, to remind them of what they have forgotten. More than one year ago, a great citizen wished to embed the Evony with justice and freedom. His hope was to remind the world of Evony that fairness, justice and freedom are more than words - they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this game remain unknown to you, then I would suggest that you allow the twenty fourth of may to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek...then I ask you to spread this post with me, one year from tonight, preaching to every player possible, and together, we shall give them a twenty fourth of May that shall never, ever, be forgotten!
We shall make them look after us more, make Beta, more of a choice, make it just like age I, only yes, you can colonise, attack if needed. Make them see the way the players see! We need to stand to them on a much, much larger scale, if we do not, they will drain us of money, take away our beloved Evony, and replace it, with a corruption that acts, like 'Evony'. The punishment for exploiters is too light! It is easy to get out of, and even easier to place the innocent in the 'realm of ban'. My friend protested against the mods, about how low the punishments are, he was booted from the game, all that remains is his words, the ones I am reliving, he tried to tell the mods that all the exploiters are getting is the same as a slap on the wrist, but he, got booted out from Evony's "Safe Haven". I wish to relive that moment in his name, and I ask, to find all your kindness and courage, to relive it with me!
