How do you feel about this DG v.2?

While I do agree with our point on the rules-discussion, if you look at it "from a distance", we are the trouble makers who don't agree with the rest. I really don't think you can blame them for that. It's just a different demo-game background for the teams.

It has been said a lot of times : "stop discussion, post a team-poll, post the results here and abide them". But nobody can really let go. If we -all of our team- stop responding to that thread, it will die because there are no adversaries anymore. We have made our point clear. I bet the bickering annoys the other teams as much as it annoys us. So please, while it might be hard for some of you, just stop responding to the issue and let the good-vibes flow again.

We could post a message like:

Team AC won't continue to respond to this thread. We made up our minds and our opinion won't change. This thread unnecessary spoils the fun-experience for everybody. Some of our members even consider to leave this demogame because of the strict atmosphere around here.

Team AC unanimuously wants to allow GP trading and to have fun with the game.

It might give our team a more mature image than the current childish my-idea-is-the-best image all teams are displaying in that thread.

Well, regarding what you say about 'my idea is the best'.
I disagree.
Someone tried to make up false fact to back up subjective and at some points illogical claim, using his position of authority to propagate his stance.

That's one of the most outrageous things I've ever read.

It was basically:

FP says:

That is how it is!

chorus:

yes it is!

me, cata, Unorthodox, some other people:

No it isn't so just because you say so, we refuse to accept (and it's illogical, and it's actually not intended to be as you say, and it's not fun etc etc).

I will post the message though.

And here i thought you made that statement up out of thin air binT

But nobody can really let go

I already did.

You know what it looks like if we leave because of this. Trying to manipulate them into leaving GP trading in, and making much trouble about even a single rule. The more i think about saying this publicly the uglier it sounds. Perhaps some of you will recall the last time someone anounced they were leaving from a DG\Game and when the person capitulated, they relented and decided to stay. It looked very bad, imho

Im leaning heavily towards (5) atm. I do not like to back out of things when i cannot have my way.

I felt before Team AC was formed signing up for a TDG before\near release was a mistake as we didnt know if we wanted to play.

[Skanky Burns]

I'm prepared to lurk with all my might!

Which one?

Well, reading the discussion thread again, I would say that the reason why Im not very interested in this game anymore, is not the GP issue, but the way it was handled.

It is fine and okay, if one is allowed to discuss and vote for it.
But if in the course of discussion a person uses his/her authority to claim false facts and almost everyone just nods without even trying to check things out, I do not feel like being here anymore.

[Kataphraktoi]

Its not that i disagree with that. Im just thinking out what effects our actions will have.

If we dont play then we will be looked at as a bunch of crybabies that stick together.

We may have to play with the understanding that we have a disadvantage and stay out of the Civ world.

[Snoddasmannen]

Well, I think this game will be fun - though I will probably be lurking most of the time

I can see why you guys are irritated, but try not to get too worked up about the behaviour of the other teams. Most of the intrigue and diplomacy we will experience in this game will be with our team. 95% of the time we will be chatting with us, not them. And I think that we will keep a fun, friendly and possibly anarchistic tone around here, and that sounds like fun to me So let's play and have a good time.

And hey, if they have problematic people in their teams, well that will damage them - and benefit us

Well, the message says "some of our members want to leave because of the strict atmosphere around here". The message doesn't say team AC is thinking of leaving the game.

[binTravkin]

And it even says, they consider not want.

This poll and the responses would seem to indicate otherwise-of course the others cant see this.

'If we dont play then we will be looked at as a bunch of crybabies that stick together.' -good summary by forester

after all if you voted for the last option, leaving is only a click away

Truth. But then staying requires no clicks.
