Beauty Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Ok so here's 5 things I've noticed over the contents of History of Planet Bob that aren't called out like they need to/should be. So naturally I'll go ahead and do it. I'm going to try to keep this semi-professional and not call people out unless they're gone so it doesn't start any arguments, even though it most likely will anyway. Ok after writing this I had to use examples to prove my points. My bad. 1) I don't care for my Infrastructure! This is one sentence I can't stand. People who use this sentence typically use a complete oxymoron and typically claim to be the best fighters. If you truly didn't care for your infra, you wouldn't be in a trade circle, you wouldn't be completing tech deals within the hour they expire, you wouldn't be online to defend your nation at midnight during a war, you wouldn't try to be the best, and etc. That list could go on for hours. This phrase is used exclusively by MK when they were here, and now other alliances use it today. The fact you log in daily or back collect to get the maximum amount of cash you can, shows you do care. 2) Ankle Biters This is one thing I personally come in conflict with on the daily. From my arguments with people or people who've "heard stuff".These individuals will view an argument between their target and whoever their target is arguing with. They will then jump in and start lodging insults or saying things to discredit and their target based solely on what they heard (Typically exaggerated or out-right wrong). These people ALWAYS are afraid to start an argument with their target and hope their target doesn't say things to them. I have these people on the daily, and as soon as you turn their focus on them, they run away with their tail between their legs. Yet when their feelings are hurt from trying to side line you, they will always remember the "mean things" you said to them in your defense. Examples include people like: [Removed]. These people typically only take a muttering of the word "Boo" and they leave to go elsewhere. These players are not so much of a threat, but rather an annoyance and deeply coincide with my next point. I've never had an ankle biter come at me on their own and exclusively wait until I am arguing or fighting with someone else and can't focus 100% on them. It's cowardly. As an odd analogy to convey my point, when I encounter these I feel like a shark with a shrimp punching my fin or something. Lol. I turn to look at them, and they run for their life. 2.5-3) Team Jump A Hoe and The Bandwagon This is another extremely annoying practice that typically involves #2 but not exclusively. As seen lately with that Rotavele person's death, Rotavele had made a comment that had nothing to do with half of the community. The half of the community that jumped on is an example of Band-wagoners. However the distinguishing of Ankle Biters and band-wagoners are that bandwagoners can take the heat. They're ready to move to the front of the line from past grievances and take advantage of their target already being surrounded. These include people like Mogar and ReyTheGreat. They use other's pain and rustled jimmies to move their own agenda forward. These people show that they're too afraid to take on an alliance and accomplish their agenda without support and would rather wait until the target is vulnerable and walking around to jump them without punishment. This can be respected more than ankle biters (at least in my eyes) because they can actually take the heat. (No Offense RTG and Mogar, just keeping it real.) 4) I love to war! We all know the pink alliance I'm talking about when I say this one. However how many nations have you seen from 2006 that fight half of the global wars exceed 200k Strength? Ok now that is out of the way, there's other alliance's with huge egos claiming they love to war, raid, etc. However I don't see them constantly at war? It would be sad to see anyone take this statement seriously when hearing it. For example, Alliance X acts aggressively and claims to love war. They want to take advantage of other alliance's who prefer warring at certain times, but not always. They use this as an intimidation tactic. Otherwise we'd see alliances who claim this to raid and such without fear of being curb stomped. "But they don't want to lose!" well if you say that, then they don't prefer to war, they prefer to be a bully. That's also pretty cowardly. Otherwise we would see them constantly at war or raiding much more. 5) Dishing it out and cant take it. There's two alliances I can name that could put this line as their motto. These alliances or people consist of trolls, and etc who will frequently mess with people or raid them. They will gladly troll you, but when they're messed with "consequences will never b the same!". This is frequent. Most "Lulzy" alliances constantly mess with their enemies, but if their enemies ever did it to them, we hear it all over the OWF. The End Those are some practices that personally I see as coming from deep down Human Nature as most of them were practiced in the stone ages as well. I don't believe they'll ever be fixed in our great community, but just wanted to list it out and hopefully get other people's perspective on it.

The half of the community that jumped on is an example of Bang-wagoners. And that's why you can't grasp the backlash. While there is sense to much of what you're saying here, applying this (OOC: to yourself) here was a mistake. It was something that transcends treaties. Namely, human decency. IN such circumstances, many people would have every reason to dislike such behaivour and act appropriately.

Auctor Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think you missed deeply flawed characters creating condescending threads telling everyone else the right way to behave. That one's been particularly evident lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauty Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Oh i almost forgot! 6) Peacocking Bonus! This was an act that Rotavele fellow mentioned before did a lot as well as many others. Peacocking is the act of acting as if you're a god like figure and can destroy anything in your path. Not only is this annoying for everyone involved, it really doesn't sit well with anyone who wants to be associated with you. No one but yourself sees you as a great god like figure. Others see it as a challenge or a threat, both are horrible for your future well being (See Mogar vs Rebel). Saying things such as "Ill take down any alliance!" doesn't provide you any positives unless your goal is to provoke a fight or disagreement with everyone who reads your comment. People with even larger egos than yours become enraged at the sight of a peacock with it's feathers much larger than theirs. They typically extend their feathers more and began pecking beaks at each other until one rips off the others feathers completely. This process can even take years.

Mr flubb Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) I like to think of myself as a sane person, and I do not hate any of the practices you have listed. If anything, they make this planet far more interesting. Edited August 24, 2014 by Mr flubb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereno Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) 2) Ankle Biters I love it when people repeat verbatim the bad opinions of their friends who actually know you. This is particularly common among the 2edgy4u 15-25 year old white "libertarian" male demographic, which is also the demographic that produces 90% of the tears-in-denial of this community. A certain UPN member with a bad avatar gave me a hilarious outburst to that tune recently, but Jacapo was probably my favorite. He used to rage at me on IRC about !@#$ that never even happened all the time. Edited August 24, 2014 by Hereno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
