How about everyone just being polite to people, recognising that this is just a kids game with a large slice of luck, that sometimes people aren't going to play how you would like, and it's not a test or statement of your manliness? That way, no-one needs to insult or be insulted by anyone. There's a poem by Rudyard Kipling called "If"; I would draw your attention to the line "If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same" among many wise words, and finishes with the lines "Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!"
Dealing with winning or losing equally, without getting carried away with excitement or disappointment, is the mark of a man - not being able to swear or be aggressive, or deride people for being "too soft". Take a step back and ask yourself why you need people to have a backbone for playing a board game for fun. If you need to lash out because someone got luckier with the dice, or made a wrong move, I don't see the problem being their lack of backbone.
You may have completely missed the point.
Well, part of it.
Flame Wars was an off topic forum section.
A section where you could openly trash anyone, and if they had the guts they could lash back.
It has absolutely nothing to do with dice, or conquer club. It has absolutely everything to do with calling people out for who they truly are as a person and how horrible their character is.
Not everything on here has to be about dice and luck. Where is the fun in that?
When they removed flame Wars CC lost over 3k members. .and I'm running to bring it back..
And it also have everything to do with the coddled cancel culture weak spined no backbone kids who need life lessons that I got when I was in my teenage years that can't be given because it was removed in the first place.
If I bash someone for who they truly are and how horrible of a person they are in any forum section on here now I get banned. But in flame Wars they get everything they deserve.
Bring it back! Bring it back! Bring it back!!!!
GCW for president of the world!!!!
