Re: Call of Apathy: Violent Young Men and Our Place in War

You're pretty much missing the point in that whole post that man posted. Either read it or re-read it and take a minute to think about what he said.
Okay, I looked back on it.

He believes that video game portrayal of warfare glorifies war, and ingrains people with the wrong messages about it.

Re: 70% of Britons Can't Pass Subjectship Test

#3 was the only really tough one for the US test... well, I also couldn't remember the number of White House address, but I got the street. Got 9/15 on the British. Those were rough.

Re: Call of Apathy: Violent Young Men and Our Place in War

I'm not sure video games are the right media for accurately portraying warfare.

Movies? Sure. Books? Definitely. I love The Things They Carried .

But, I sure as hell don't want to play a video game that's boring and slow.

On the other hand... I would love for them to better capture the ...

Re: lackattack, gettinhead, cheap conquerors & other bull &

For the record, BBS: I enjoyed reading your counter-argument to my earlier post. I won't relinquish my position, because I don't believe newer players have much to gain from being systematically targeted by a handful of top players, and I don't see as much potential for harm if a change in rules ...

Arbitrary moderation may create some tensions at first, but all will eventually join in our march toward ultimate salvation.

This thread's attention to detail, and tendency to stay on-topic (as per the OP), is admirable. Carry on, gentlemen. Approved.

Re: lackattack, gettinhead, cheap conquerors & other bull &

I like Denise's post, and I think she touches on something important:
That bogrolling and a winning % of 90+ is needed to get conqueror is the entire point. It shouldn't be, and changes should be made so that there is a way to reach conqueror without targeting players on a hard map that they have ...

Hey Robin,

How about, "Highest-Ranked players under 30?"

I think that would quell any and all serious controversy with regard to this thread, and allow us to focus on the real purpose of it... tricking people into thinking it's about age. :-$ ;)

Luckily points doesn't matter.
To go along with this idea, just look at how relatively low the average scores are. We all know that every player in the top clans could be at least a Brigadier by playing only team games... it just comes down to the personal choices that each player makes with ...
