Eonwe gets kicked, thread gets gassed. I'm starting to think my :tinfoil:

theory about Kewpuh getting pissed at AAgoons about kicking BFM might actually be right. On an unrelated note, can we get a bunch of :words:

about how trolling is good and right, and not just lazy moderation, no really.

Why would Kewpuh be pissed at your guild for kicking a child molester?

I don't know, I just know that he opened the shitposting floodgates right after we did, and there's not really another explanation for why it's been allowed to go on for this long.

Probably because SCT and other people involved kept defending known pedophiles and you have had people within the last week who have literally talked about why it's okay and normal to get 16 year olds drunk and gently caress them.

That sort of poo poo is begging to be trolled. No one would troll the AA goons if they posted here if dumbfucks didn't keep either letting pedo defenders run rampant or outing themselves like total retards. It sucks for the rest of the guild and I think Kimsemus had the right idea awhile back with it.

Please quote the guy who literally talked about it being okay and normal to get 16 year olds drunk and gently caress them, cause I'm pretty sure nobody said that.

Regardless, that poo poo isn't begging to be trolled, it's begging to be banned. Saying that ArcheAge threads are open season because of what sct did would only make sense if sct was even remotely associated with the guild. He's not, pretty much nobody that was an officer when this poo poo started still is. The only continuous thread I can see from then until now is that BFM was kicked, and still is kicked.

yo i'm gonna make this real simple for you to understand. its really easy.

alright so pedo defender dude was kicked, everyone enjoys the game blah blah blah. the thread gets back on track for a few days and things seem to go okay. then out of nowhere some dumb goon decides that now is the time to share his loving retarded opinion for no reason and brings it all up again. then the cycle starts again with imps coming in and goading more goons to share more dumb opinions and the thread gets gassed and a new one pops up and it repeats again.

i mean seriously why even post something like this:

the answer is that some people are loving stupid and cant just lets things go.

Look at this page:
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3668229&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=128

besides maybe one trollbait post that everyone ignored, the thread chugs along fine.

Next page, some dude that plays the game decides its time to import drama from the game into the thread

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3668229&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=129

what did you think would happen? as a mod, what do you expect me to do about this? ban him for saying that he got banned from guild in the game?

Isn't importing drama against the rules though? I mean, poo poo, probate him for a low effort post or something if you don't want to ban him for drama importing. I just want a readable ArcheAge thread, why are people acting like this is such an unreasonable request?

Nobody was actually fishing for castle materials. Castle mats were taken care of long before fishing was a big thing

Don't let facts get in the wave of a good narrative.

For those of you that can't log in or w/e, Wicked got the first castle, FC the second, and two spots are still up for grabs.

E: Shipwrecked pirates just got castle 3.

Anyone think it will be possible to still find a 16x16 and 24x24 by that time, or does this pretty much screw us out of land again?

Every spot larger than an 8x8 in auroria is claimed on Aranzeb.

Bait and Swatch posted:

I guess they announced no server rollback, which caused a freakout on the forums, which caused mass banning which lead to the forum shutdown.

And so hackshield caused the DC problems and yet loads of people are reporting that almost all land was insta-taken as castles were claimed? Gee, hackers got around that piece of poo poo as usual, to no one's surprise.

Trion sure knows how to deliver on irony, if not games.

The land wasn't taken by hackers, it was taken by the thousand or so people that were in each zone as it went up. I managed five plots in two zones, and I'm nowhere near the fastest at land grabbing.

Fishing is pretty time consuming, if I have to do that or post, I know which one I'm picking :colbert:

Kimsemus getting booted from Goonwaffe over all this stupid drama is pretty funny, though.

The official forums are a glorious place right now.

Trion: Submitting a formal complaint/inquiry to the US Federal Gaming/Gambling commission

So you can be monitored/regulated like every other for-profit based casino. Casino's are getting crushed these days with massive layoffs, so hopefully they will take an interest in your marketplace operations, giving the odds-based reward for real money system you have employed.

Your silence while you cash grab is totally understandable, as you are under no obligation to justify and/or explain your decisions to us. Maybe if someone very official starting asking very serious questions, you might have to actually explain the decisions you make.

I don't believe you.

For the purposes of a simple argument: there are 3 stages to fishing, and 3 stages to pirating fish. Stage 1 is finding fish or finding fishing boats - I would be very surprised if finding boats was faster than finding fish, or even as fast, but lets assume they take the same amount of time. Stage 2 is fishing or stealing the boat. If you're putting 5 people on the fishing boat, they can fill the boat in 6-7 minutes at the outside (unless you count waiting for gargantuans which is retarded). I'm going to assume stealing a boat is instantaneous even though that's ridiculous. Stage 3 is getting back to a fish stand and turning in. Fishers, for obvious reasons, pick spots that are near a turnin. Pirates don't have that luxury. You have to somehow get back to Freedich and turn in within 6 minutes of the time it would take a normal fisher to turn in to the closest spot they can find. I'm fairly sure that is pretty much impossible.

Staging makes this a bit more complicated but is simply going to subtract time from whatever gets added when I add in the fact you have to base out of Freedich.

Meanwhile, if you go stealing fish as a non-pirate, you're eventually going to eat jailtime.

Yet another issue is that you definitely cannot steal fish as fast with 1 person pirating as with 5 - but you can fish precisely as fast with 1 as with 5.

Honestly, even if it takes them twice as long to pirate as it takes you to fish it up, that's still probably really good. That's also a couple of orders of magnitude better than what the Goon Squad pirating crew could manage.

Edit: This does, however sidestep a big issue, which is that pirating is never as sustainable as fishing for a sufficiently large group, because if you steal all of their fish, the fishermen won't keep fishing, then nobody makes any money, which was the entire reason for the ~evil fishing pact~ in the first place.

2 hours and many goon deaths later, 5 fish.

But it's really 10 fish, because they were denying you the ability to turn in fish for that 2 hours :eng99:
