Your team doesn't matter? That's not a good attitude to have.

I've been prioritizing team games. That said, I've got something IRL that makes it a bit stressful to try and maintain playing on this game and I don't want to establish any new long-term obligations (like multi-day games, tournaments, or clan responsibilities). I'd tell you what the IRL thing is but it would be a bit personally identifying and kind of braggy.

knyte, just out of curiosity, if you've lost all interest in the game then why are you still posting here?

Because it amuses me. Because I still come to the site to play real-times but realize I don't have the time to maintain multi-day obligations at this stage.

After all, you were usually the one who told people to stop posting in the forums and play the actual game.

No le contrere. I'm just not on the forums to start drama a la Tyrion- all my discussion is still game- or metagame-related so I'm not quite responsible just yet for polluting OT. But I put a lot of effort into CORP so I'm still a bit invested in the clan, to be honest. That's mostly it. Oh and I feel a bit wasteful just quitting cold-turkey on a site I spent money on.

And I'm on a 10 day vacation so I can't take turns in any games without having to worry about all of them again.

Really, I log in every time without knowing whether I'll have time to log in again in the near future.

That said, if you think my presence is hurting the community, just let me know.

@Masterpierround: That CORP basically died out. CORP's modern reputation comes from around July/etc.

Oh, well the more you know. Although I'm sure the name recognition from the old CORP did help the new CORP. Not that it affects the fact that I was incorrect, but I maintain that past drama-seeking is a large reason for CORP's popularity.

Because it amuses me.

Understandable. That sums up why 90% of users post on the forums, really.

That said, if you think my presence is hurting the community, just let me know.

Not really my job to say who should post in the forums and who shouldn't. As long as people aren't posting porn or being total jerks I usually don't care.

Well, I don't think name recognition from the old CORP helped at all. It just started popping up again after a lot of people left After_Dark and revived the clan. The two are basically separate entities, and most members of CORP right now aren't aware at all of old CORP.

CORP was basically unknown again until June 6, when it got hijacked in a coup after MR were spread among a lot of members with absolutely no background checking. After that, the clan completely reorganized itself and started recruiting strategic players (and entered Clan League)- we started getting attention by getting attacked on the forums (from Kapy) and by establishing internal ladders that allowed in a few external players (we had a working 3v3 ladder, actually, and that got the attention of Forbidden Knowledge and a few other good players). I basically ran CORP during June and July, and I can tell you that drama was the very last thing we cared for- we tried to minimize our image on the forums (focusing on damage control as we tried to wrap up June's drama and successfully covered up all evidence of a coup in July before it cost us anything- not even most of our own members knew about it). Instead, CORP during June-July was focused on delivering value to its members- I wanted to turn the clan into one with very high activity (with tons of diplos so people knew each other, mixed with a ton of strategy so players actually discovered the game and got good at it) and one where players got to improve quickly.

This template that I used to send PM clan invites (not spammy, just to be clear- I only invited players I found to be good after playing with them, and never sent an invite to a player without getting a link to a game where someone I trusted in the clan- usually me- played with them) gives a good idea of what CORP was trying to achieve:

Hey!

We recently played in a 1v1 ladder game. You were quite the tough opponent, the kind of person I'd rather have on my team than against it.

I'm sending you this message because I'm currently looking for good strategic players that are interested in joining (and hopefully competing for/within) CORP. Since you play pretty well strategically, I'm wondering whether you'd like to join CORP and also become part of CORP's internal strategic Dojo.

We're working very hard to build a strategic character as a clan and, to that end, we'll be joining Clan League 7- our first time in the Clan League. On top of that, we've got an internal 1v1/2v2/3v3 ladder system- the CORP Strategic League (http://tinyurl.com/csldata)- and regular Round Robins/FFAs/team games, both within and outside the clan, not to mention the new CORP Challenge League (http://tinyurl.com/corpcldata) where you can assert your dominance over a template. But the biggest challege is people. We need people like you to help our clan push forward- people who're willing to compete in regular games, play against other clans, and represent us in leagues and tournaments- and hopefully help other players grow stronger by playing against them. In exchange, we've also got a pretty solid track record in improving our players' skills through constant competitive play.

Interested? You'll find an invite waiting for you here: https://www.warlight.net/Clans/?ID=60

As far as what you'll gain if you join us:

- the ability to compete in our internal ladders (CORP Strategic League) and the CORP Challenge League

- regular Round Robins, FFAs, and team games across a variety of competitive teamplates

- active chat/forums and a community of people you can invite to games

- diplomacy/RP games if you're also interested in those

Thanks. I hope to see you in our Clan Forum soon.

You tried to derail and disobeyed Harthacanute's requests on who comments on his "biased thesis" thread, or something like that.

Understandable. That sums up why 90% of users post on the forums, really.

What are the other 10% users doing? They're not there out of the goodness of their hearts.

I only commented there once, and I didn't see any exclusions before that. I also didn't try to derail it- I just popped in there to call him an idiot.

It's many comments akin to "You're an idiot.", and there were exclusions, I'm sure.

Also, I didn't notice this bit ,at first, since I'm used to reading sucky writing, but...

Si tu veux parler en français, bon, mais parle une langue, pas deux.

Anyhow, back to my main point, I'm not quite responsible just yet for polluting OT.

I and others would consider it pollution. I forgot who said this, but it goes something like "I don't know what happened here, whether knyte was too much an arse for the off-topic fora or whether the off-topic fora were too much of an arse for knyte, but one thing is for sure: knyte's an arse, too."

What are the other 10% users doing? They're not there out of the goodness of their hearts.

Four primary reasons why users post on the forums:
-They enjoy talking about the game.
-They enjoy a good laugh.
-They enjoy a good debate.
-They enjoy making people angry.
(Some people fit more than one description too)

That was me actually. What I said was: "I don't know if the off-topic made Kynte hate them or if Knyte made the off-topic hate him."

The top ten percent have 90 % of the WL economy. They should die faster, not have relatives or will. Their savings will go to the country and will be well spent.

You begin every ground with "they enjoy".

I was going off the assumption that everyone must have something they like about the forum in order to keep coming back. Unless there's some pour soul who just comes here to be miserable.

*raises hand*

Speaking only as an ordinary WarLight player and an ordinary CORP member,

I find this entire thread most disappointing.

Further, as a CORP member, I wish to apologize for the excessive amount of drama caused by my clan since I joined.


.Specifically, I wish I to apologize for the recent hijacking of our clan, and the display of the Nazi Flag on our clan page, next to our names on the forums and in games.

I wish to personally disavow any support or intentional promotion of Nazi actions, beliefs, propaganda, symbols, etc.

I know that my clan mates are also very sorry about this hijacking, and wish to disavow any support as well, as I have seen their posts and messages to that effect.

I also know that I have personally caused inappropriate drama on these forums, and I wish to apologize for that as well.

Among other things, I should not have accused Juq of hijacking our clan.

If I wanted to say anything at all on that, I should have dramatically reduced my assumptions and my conclusions and overall just been a lot more diplomatic, both on that topic and many others.

Thank you all for your time, and whatever patience, understanding, and kindness you have left for me/us.

Sincerely,

Dublin Warrior
CORP member

I don't have time to take turns in every game I'm in. I'm on a 10 day vacation for a reason.

I've also lost interest in the game- I don't see any reason why I have an obligation to spend my time on something that doesn't ultimately matter when I don't gain any enjoyment from it.

@Knyte - You should have used your little brain before u joined the game. Also u could have at least said sorry and explained yourself. It was a TEAM game, not FFA so u ruined the game for few people because of your indolence. What u do clearly indicates thau u are nothing more than miserable tard. WL would be much better withot people like u.

Also I wonder why respectable clan as statisticians accepts such players?


once again sorry for offtoopic, that was my last message on that matter.

@Kain: I quit WL because something unexpected happened during the first week of September. This was something I didn't anticipate at all.
