  5. So guys, is NPO still ruining the game?

    in Open World RP

    Posted

    No one alliance has, or has ever had, the power to ruin the game. Things such as that are not determined at the meta-game level. Ultimately, it's the individual player who by their actions (or, more often than not, inactions) determine the shape of the Cyberverse's political landscape.

    I was never a fan of the NPO. I no longer hate them, but I'm still not a fan. Frankly, I could give two craps one way or the other. They lost the war, they did their terms. It's done and over. Let's move on already. I'm too busy trying to make my alliance a bit better for each day that I'm able to log in and devote some time to it. Not too long ago, I realized that wasn't the NPO, or "New Gramlins" or any other alliance which screws up the game (if it is, in fact, screwed up) it's us. I did my share in previous incarnations of my nation, time away from the game, be it voluntary or not, tends to give one a slightly different perspective.

    Too many of us throw our hands up in the air and let our gov't members take care of everything. Then complain that such and such alliance is doing whatever to tick them off. Take personal accountability for your own gaming experience. Up until last night, the NPO was still in terms, and rendered all but a non factor. And yet, for more than a year, they've been the first and foremost thing on people's minds. Partial credit goes to them, I suppose, for having made such an impact upon the game, sure. The rest though, is blame not to them, they've been under terms for Admin only knows how long, but to us, the players. You are accountable, to a large extent, for your own experience in this game. Too many treat it as though it's a TV show or something, and merely watch events which are the doings of others unfold before them. It's usually those same people who are the first to gripe should it become "boring".

    I'm not trying to be overly critical, just pointing out that if you think the game is "ruined" for whatever reason, don't wait for someone else to try to fix it. Do something!

    Unfortunately, we sent most of them to Indonesia riding on ICBMs.... though should we recover them, we may remarket as the NEW Glowing iClean Spoon. People who like to eat in the dark rejoyce!
