Thread: My Harrassment Reports Rant

    Default My Harrassment Reports Rant

    Granted, i've only been on Evony forums for a little bit, but i've been on mulitple forums for a LONG LONG time, was a mod for two years. Evony (sorry to say) has attracted the most touchy people i have ever seen in a long long long time. granted, some are serious matters, but most are complaining over words like, whitepwr, Hitler, etc etc, and is that "im losing my kingdom so i'll get this person suspended?" im smelling, because i think it is, or their kingdom burning. (FYI: i have no affilation with any of these alliances, so im not defending them) Now, if racial slang is said (the N word, etc etc) then that gets offensive, but stuff like "im going to drag you behind my truck" is not rascist, at all, yes, when people think of this, they ASSOCIATE it with a news story, but it has nothing to do with it.

    Most are complaining about Multi accounts, yes, it's a problem, but now it's become the boy who cried wolf, you're stomping me, so i'll scream multi because there's another person on the server with a similar name, in an alliance with you. when they have failed to realize that, friends play this game together, i know 12 people personally that play the game and everytime we do, we usually have names that are common, seperated by a number, or the topic genre of the character (jesus, buddah, etc etc)
    And calling cheater everytime something doesn't go your way, is never a good policy for the mods to like you at all.

    Words are words, created by you and me, and when it comes to the internet, you shouldn't really be offended anymore. and if you are, just remember, most the people doing this kinda stuff, are 15 year olds, giggling their asses off in their room and if you let that get to you, you need to never have kids.

    You've never been to the WoW forums.

    Words are not just words. Words intended to inflict pain hurt, and you know it. No matter how much you want to claim otherwise, that is the truth, and no matter how much you want to claim players cry "multi" when something doesn't go their way, chances are they are, in fact, right. Just because you and your "friends" want to make it look like you're a multi doesn't change the fact that a large percentage of the time, if something looks like a multi, acts like a multi, claims it is a multi, it is a multi.
    But....the eternal ray of sunshine REALLY wanted to see you, so I helped brighten your day by removing the city from around you! ^.^

    Multi's ain't that much of a problem, to be honest... I know of several of them.. been attacked by them, and kicked the snot out of them. Had alliance members attacked by them... kicked the snot out of them... Might just be the sample of multi-ers that I've encountered.. but it just doesn't seem to give *that* much of an advantage... especially compared to the botters and such.

    I find if one reads up, learns what one's doing, and builds sensibly and defensively with a decent alliance.. the inherent defender-bias of the game mechanics more than makes up for whatver one guy with 5 accounts can do to you. He's still just 1 guy, with that much more to juggle at once. He still sleeps.. Not really much different at all from being attacked by an alliance.

    But yeah, to agree with the OP.. a lot of the "cry wolf" stuff is just pathetisad.

    well, in my own general opinion, words only inflict harm if you allow them. i've been called everyname in the book, and yet, not a flinch in game and out of game, it's just how you look at it

    i've only seen 3 instances where players tried to "kick" someone for being a multi when in fact, it really wasn't, either way, evony has there ways of dealing with the problem, i just got aggravated to no end at the harassment section, and decided to vent... i love venting.....ahhhhhhh,,,,

    Things like multi, outrageously easy for evony to police themselves, unambiguously.

    Do they enforce it? no.

    I feel like I'm in the minority as a non-multi.

    I suspect it's cuz folks who're into evony enough to run more than one acct prob'ly have no qualms about ponying up some pocket change.

    I actually just thought of a brillant idea while i was sitting here smoking a bowl lol

    If the programmers put in place a "shut off" of lets say, 4 hrs of constant play where you have to log back in after X amount of constant hours, then the multi will have to go back and restart the program

    i have faith in the evony mod team, granted, they can press nerves at points, but they're good people LOL
