The official SS RPG boycott

[Animate Dreams]

I'm personally boycotting SS RPG until Aileron is no longer able to make changes to SS RPG. Who's with me?

[Rareitanium]

I vote "No" until he learns how to manage properly.

[rootbear75]

yum

[Aileron]

Point 1: It takes more than two people to make a boycot.

 

Point 2: Rare, don't complain about me...it was your buddies Animate Dreams and Suicide Run who made the suggestion to do something about the bank...actually to remove it outright, though that was a radical suggestion. I personally didn't care what tactics people used, but they were upset so I capitulated halfway and made the ending the way it was.

 

Point 3: Who else then? Polix has more important things to do. I have six months experience in Army-Core RPGs and another six months in other text based ones. That's not great but enough. Animate Dreams is the only other player who has enough experience, but frankly he is a whiner who can only criticise and call people names. He's certainly not responsible enough to be given a moderator position, let alone an admin role. To sum up his character, two weeks into last round he complained that I nerfed sabotage and a week later he complained that I made it too powerfull.

Hey, I have... 11 years experience in html strategy games now. Shut the !@#$%^&* up.

Can you explain WHY he shouldn't be admin of SSRPG? instead of just saying "he doesn't know what he's doing"?

[LiDDiS]

Well, from what I've heard the game that SSRPG is made from is pretty !@#$%^&*ty in itself. Not like you can make !@#$%^&* into anything other than !@#$%^&* :[

!@#$%^&*.

 

Ani is right about the game being broken though, I just don't agree it's entirely Aileron's fault.

I do have a problem with the fact that Aileron plays however. In my opinion it's a conflict of interests when you run the game and have inside knowledge of the inner workings of the game

[Paine]

What the !@#$%^&* is ssrpg? !@#$%^&* you guys spewed up some weird things during my absence...

That is like saying that Pritt shouldn't play ss. The makers of WoW shouldn't play WoW? come on now...

[RedWaller]

SS is different because you cant gain an edge. If you suck you suck. I don't play WoW so I won't comment on that.

[Animate Dreams]

Cancer+, I'm not trying to change anyone's opinions at this point. I've already said my own opinions on Aileron in several other posts thoughout this forum. If you'd like to read them, I can find them all for you. Most people here have already been playing the game and already know the crap Aileron did. In the past I've detailed the things Aileron's done for those that may have missed it, but I didn't bother this most recent time. The bigger issue here is that someone who doesn't already know what's happened shouldn't vote based on my description of what's happened.

 

But wtf, Aileron, having knowledge the rest of us don't(like knowing everyone's bank accounts) obviously does have an advantage. This is different from Priit playing SS since he can't gain an advantage just by having programmed the game. Maybe in that he's going to understand how things work better because he's programmed it, but experience beats mathematical knowledge in SS anyway.

 

The important part here is that not only has Aileron shown complete inep!@#$%^&*ude in developing strategy games, he's used his development position in his and his clansmates' favors. The poll is already showing that many people are completely unsatisfied with his management, that should be enough.

[Aileron]

Ani, I'm not disputing the fact that you have experience. I'm just saying that you don't have the mindset of someone who can actually solve problems.

 

Take this thread for example. You haven't made a positive suggestion, and having a couple players boycott isn't going to solve any problems. Most of the problems are with the core itself, which can only be fixed by the core designers who don't even go to these forums. All you are doing is worsening an already bad situation.

 

Now the different suggestion by LiDDiS that I don't play is actually constructive. However, first off I know that if I quit playing, then the accusation will be made by those losing that I'm favoring whoever's winning. More importantly, if I wasn't playing I wouldn't have a clue how bad sabotage actually is, or how often people have to log on, or what things are being abused.

 

Its a lose-lose situation. However, I will mention that I could have solved a couple problems starting the May round had I played the April round.

 

I can say that I'm not keeping any secrets - all changes for this round have been announced, and the stats for the weapons are posted. Also, Ani does have about as much "inner knowledge" as I do, enough that he can form a competant battle plan.

[wub]

how about having a non change policy for any settings tell the end of the month. UNLESS atleast 10 people agree its messing up these people must be in the top 30. Atlteast then it doesnt look like you changing things mid round for your benefit

[JDS]

aileron your doing a great job keep it up!

[Animate Dreams]

I had the mind set of someone who had suggestions and solutions and got ignored by corrupt staff. I gave many suggestions in what should've bene a productive manner. Of course it wasn't productive, because there was nothing produced from my actions. You went on to do whatever you thought felt nice, and ended up proving me right. You wanna talk about solving problems? SS RPG is worse off now than it was originally, and you're going to tell me how to properly solve problems? A boycott will almost definitely solve the problem, as YOU are the primary problem. If there are no players, you won't be able to screw anyone over anymore, and you'll most likely be replaced. And your statement about not being able to know what's going if you're not playing is absolutely ridiculous. If you can't freaking LOOK at what's going on and figure out what's happening, not only are you a bad player, you're a horrible developer. I knew everything that was going on in the third round because I spied on people and kept tabs. I pretty much knew the strategies everyone was using(by watching them use them) and saw what they were going for. I'm not trying to brag, I think pretty much anyone could do it, excepting you apparently, by your own admission. It's obvious. If someone has cash that keeps disappearing but their items/ranks aren't going up and they aren't being attacked, they're banking. If their items stay consistently low and growth is way under what their income could be giving them, guess what? They're banking. On the other hand, if someone has 5000 ports and no attack items, they're probably spying. This is so basic that it blows my mind to hear you say you can't put 2 and 2 together.

 

Lastly, I'd like it if you stopped suggesting that I'm alone in this. I'm obviously not. I never hear anyone defend your "ideas" or even mildly agree with you. And as you can see from the poll - I'm not alone.

Can we rename this thread to "I am a bigger nerd than you are!"?

[Aileron]

Its hard to use recon to keep tabs on people when you aren't in the game. But there are also some things that cannot be determined from looking up everyone's stats.

 

Your memory seems to be messed up. As I recall, when I showed up in the middle of the April round, the game was riddled with cheaters and transfer was king. Thus, the primary change for May was to remove transfer, which is why many other things that were broken yet undetectible before came out of the woodwork.

 

 

I made a change mid-round because there was a massively broken problem and the game would not have survived until June had I not done something immeadiately. I'd also venture that waiting until after your clan did the tactic but changing it before competing clans starting doing reprisals helped your clan if any.

 

Neither can I give full trust in a vote here. There is a difference between a democracy and a pluracracy.

 

 

But, this is all in the past anyway. It is unlikely that there will be any further changes in the settings, certainly not mid-round. I don't forsee any unforseen problems that may arise. As humerous as that is, its true. I'm fairly certain that I tied down all the problems that poped up after transfer was removed.

Are you willing to bet your position on this?

WHY DONT YOU CRY AILERON

[Falcoknight]

I honestly don't care that much.

As long as there is SOMEONE trying to ensure that the game is relatively balanced and fair, I'll keep playing.

 

Though after looking at last round, and seeing that banks are still in the game, I'm not really going to try as hard this round as last.

[wub]

banks have zero interest tho
