    I sincerely believe you're lost. This is a discussion thread about Freedom of Speech, not merges. Please post this in GD instead.

    I love this whole freedom of speech scenario.. sooner or later the mods are only going to respond with 010011011100100101010001 bleep does not compute.


    this is the drift i personally got.. from reading Dawnseekers public posts.. and later re-drilled by foxxybunny how they can do what they want when they want how they want to cause its "private property".



    We're going to make sure age II properly translates.

    Oh wait we made y'all an Age II and u don't like it? So we'll just keep it at age one.

    Oh we didn't really Fail the Age II transition it was just the fact that you guys didn't like our "Proper" transition.. we didn't realize that onwars cost 10$ each and that $100 compensation package wasn't going to cover our messup.. We realize u guys invested a lot of time into your heroes, you spent a lot of troops leveling them up which you could of used to attack players.. Oh not to mention each 50 cent gamble you spun on the wheel trying to attain holy mars heroes and onwars with major prizes of Ritual of pacts or Advanced tax policies just to rub you in the dirt.. We didn't take into account that many of you reached instant troops and nerfing your hero to level 100 was going to render your account and its one barracks per city useless.. Because Hero attack is actually pretty useless in age II so just accept the package or get lost..










    *regan mercantile rolls around in our monies*


    *EDIT* Presents both hands peacefully for the fluffy pink handcuffs foxxybunny has destined for me. Sorry for being so blunt, Just got a lot of bottled up angst at our lack of things to do in age one right now..

    *EDIT#2 removed the word liar was a bit unjust*

    Maybe tomorrow.

    For now, I'll point out that calling us liars is offensive, rude, and incorrect. Just because we don't rigidly stand by anything we've said and refuse to bow to the wishes of the players, it doesn't mean we are dishonest and I thoroughly resent you saying we are.

    If you want to bash on Evony, go do it elsewhere. This thread is about Freedom of Speech and you are derailing it to fit your personal agenda.

    Foxy, I would say you did bow to the wishes of the players when you kept age I alive instead of just closing it and pushing us into age II.

    That does tie into the freedom of speech issue since many people spoke out very vocally against the merger. Many in language that was none too flowery. Evony didn't censor them or me. People just need to realize the difference between anger with a purpose and meaningless flaming. Slander and Defamation aren't protected by the U.S. constitution though it is interesting to see people try to claim they are.

    Evony is by no means perfect, but censorship really isn't one of the big issues.

    We have all read hopeless posts by people who have no understanding of combat mechanics which is understandable as evony mechanics can be fairly complex. The problem is that this applies to the Evony community at large, only a very small percent of the people that play Evony actually understand in depth how combat actually works.

    Now this by itself is not a problem but consider this as a theoretical example... Player A attacks a city and loses, he doesn't understand why he lost so he posts on Combat Reports forum, usually its along the lines of "WTF WHY DID I LOSE?????????". Then come 90% of the Evony community who don't understand mechanics and give him wrong information that makes no sense, so the the thread now contains 20+ posts of nonsense. Along comes a random player who actually understands the mechanics and because hes a nice guy decides to explain to the mass idiots what actually went wrong and why, however for referring to them as mass idiots he recieves an infraction even though he hasn't technically broken any rules or any vulgar language. So for trying to be a nice guy and explain something about combat mechanics he has got himself in trouble because the majority of Evony players who you ask what the starting range of combat would be with traps present look at you like you are speaking ancient Greek and yet at the same time consider themselves pro players.

    This is exactly what my earlier post referred to, most mods wouldn't have handed out an infraction however some mods would... Freedom of speech is irrelevant Evony own the forums and can do whatever they want with them, if they want to ban you for not using punctuation then they have every legal right to do so, its their forum they can do anything they want. My point however is that even though they can do whatever they like, they do not, Evony has a set of guidelines and people should follow them, I just think not all mods are working to the same standard of guidelines. I think everybody will agree thats its completely unfair when one person is punished for the same action as many other players who go completely unpunished.

    I won't comment on the "mass idiots" part of your post. It seems to me you have damaged yourself enough.




    The quoted part of your post I understand very well, but no one should consider rules to be set in stone, or this forum to remain a static, unchanging place. To be sure, Moderator personalities are different, and our approach thereof will not be homogeneous. In other words, a certain inconsistency is inevitable. But do not forget that this place changes too. Circumstances will change daily, sometimes hourly, and we need to tailor responses to the situation at hand. And that applies not only to the nature of posts and threads, but on the personality of posters themselves and their post history. A known troll or ban evader will be more likely to suffer harsher punishment than a known decent, respectful member or a newcomer.

    We are a community of humans. Do not expect this place to be approachable in any other way than humanly. With all concomitant foibles and, yes, failures.

    I couldn't agree with you more Wildor, human error is inevitable, where we differ is that some mods seem to think they are infallible and only members are capable of human error.

    P.s. Adeptwa it has been proven that combat starts at base range +200 therefore with traps etc the starting range of combat is 5200 not 5000. I will side with Foxy and vote for shooting you.

    You find that the people that do talk Smack are the same people in which case there is a block button.
    On the game or on the street people speaking with disrespect or in a way that some consider inappropriate it's inevitable.
    There are ways of dealing with it that i imagine aren't hard to figure out.
    Fill your block list up and have fun playing the game =))
