I think many have tried to point out the irrelevance of Strat, Osiris, but the message just gets lost.
Teeth and bagge for example, I got nothing against you guys, but you minus my posts when I think we already established how much effort I put into my posts in regards to Strategus.
And you know why I even post here? If you think it's because I care, then sorry to disappoint you. You guys are fucking hilarious, though, sperglording over Strategus when you barely even contribute to either side of this virtual "war". The only reason I am interested in Strat is because I get to openly trash talk after I win, or lose (god forbid?). I'm just pouring more fuel on the bonfire that is soon turning into a wildfire of hatred. That's my job, one I take pride in. Because then, maybe one day after the "us vs them" tragedy that is infesting Strat to a point where it's downright personal, you'll see the fucking joke. You're getting close, though, that much is evident.
I don't care if we lose or win, hell -- "we" is an illusion. "Beating" Strat holds no merit in the future, the only reason that it's any interesting is because the hatred that it creates spawns drama in its wake, thus in turn adding the real substance, the one thing that motivates everyone to spend time generating resources to get an edge over your enemies. If you were only interested in exp, we'd have funbattles every weekend or even friendly scrims. In the history of cRPG and Strategus, I think we've only had a few of those, and only one "faction" dedicated to funbattles, namely Pub Crawl. I really liked Pub Crawl, because it was a casual and relaxed alternative to the hormonal atmosphere you have in battles where you have those Grey cunts and Merc srsguise on each side. Naturally I prefer seriousness over being an opportunistic and ambitious cunt, but I prefer to stay out of it altogether.
Ask yourselves when you shout at people in Teamspeak for some insignificant mistake they did, is it worth it?
Sure, I've also felt like shunning some morons on our roster because they're fucking awful at this game, more worthful just acting as a meatshield than anything, but it's really hard to not care sometimes when your clanmates and allies are yelling simple instructions and seeing some people either do fuck-all or getting confused. However, that's just the way society and school raised us, incompetence breeds frustration. This is not the problem though, the problem is how much people invest their emotions into Strategus. It's sad, actually.
Especially when people like GRANDMOM make threads like these just to display their deluded sense of superiority, behind the comfort of internet with a smug smile on their faces while they receive backrubs from their clanmates and/or allies for some accomplishment done in an internet horses game.
Say whatever you want about me, I know what I've said and done in the past of my stay in this community. Chances are I'd agree with you, but you wouldn't accomplish anything. Just making this post here to clarify some things, and maybe change some perspectives. Although I think that would be asking too much of some people here.
I have to give it to you though, Diplomacy section is a seemingly endless source of amusement.
