Four years is a short time span, a fraction of a single person's life - barely a second in the life of a whole people. And yet the past four years somehow seem longer than many decades of all of our past. A very important event is contained within them: the birth of a gaming mod that is now threatened by extinction. It is an incredibly eventful time, and seems barely comprehensive sometimes to us, who have not just had the opportunity to witness but also to actually create a small part of it.
Democratically elected admins are a big topic of discussion right now, maybe not for EU scrub players but We in America know the wisdom of democratic ideals; if the rest of the world doesn't know these ideals, we can only answer that the American people have the chance to live within the purest form of this ideal, and we ourselves are reaping the benefits of freedom and democracy in real life.
And yet to speak today of the NA cRPG community having democracy, is nothing but an illusion. There are many reasons for this so I will begin with the developer situation first. North America, in spite of it's large playerbase is perhaps the most ignored community in the mod. Ignored by developers who are orientated entirely in the interests of a comparatively small and thin upper stratum of players and the European clique of autists with which it is allied. The interests of the NA masses are of no weight in determining the orientation of these developers.
One developer speaks about this being a free mod, one speaks about doing it in their spare time, one speaks about the achievements of their current developers, but of course in reality this is meaningless drivel, the only things the current developers do is contribute to the stabilization of the dictator regime of the elite of society, whom, thanks to their positions, are able to get hold of the forums, to organize and direct the topics how they will, and to create public opinion from that. Thus, in a mod with a declining community, one which many people admit is worse than it has ever been, in a community with altogether hardly one good poster per hundred, in a mod so blessed by being built on a good base game, dozens are being banned for no reason, and if they rereg, live in greater fear of being banned than the real rulebreakers do. The mod which is a paradise for a few, is nothing but continuous misery for many, that is, for the masses. Misery in posting, misery in playing, misery in practicing; misery even in pwning, and of course, misery directed at the entire administrative and developer team.
This is not the game that God created for us. He did not produce developers to devour the hope of cRPG players. He did not create admins to harness and harass us, like vile autists, whom show extraordinary amounts of, pride, perfidy, avarice, debauchery, and falsehood. He created cRPG to proclaim "this is a pro game". He created us players with a power to help each other, to love each other mutually, and to attain to happiness by the way of virtue.
In the name of democracy, let us use that power. Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new game, a decent game that will give men a chance to play, that will give youth a future with security of not being permabanned. Let us fight to free the world! To do away with intercontinental barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a game of reason, a world where good balance and non-shit game mechanics will lead to all men's happiness. Players, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
