So I just read that whole thing, did research on the different fleets and people involved. All I can say is wow, we're talking about a video game. A game! One of the reasons so many people consider me to be a "troll", in SC, Eve, Planetside 2 etc, is because these games have turned into cesspits of inconceivable seriousness by unapologetic die-hard role players, and I can't help but feel an obligation to remind the community to enjoy the game and allow the rest of us to enjoy it also.
What instead happens is organizations get over run by these role-players who consequently enforce unrealistic "Codes of Conduct" bullshit, where mostly unaccomplished beta's assume positions of authority for which they exorcize inappropriately and in absolute disrespect toward the individuals they're charged with "leading". The game becomes a trial of political nonsense, imaginary power and a round-a-bout of privileged information fortified under false "Opsec" garbage.
Test, please recognize this, I beg you. These types of musings are desperate attempts by closet role-players to transform your fun into a Game of Thrones remake, where they are the Kings & Queens at your expense. They attract other role-players who will stop at nothing to take advantage of a large community to also be royalty and be unduly praised. The larger the community, the more lucrative the perceived power of which equates to epeen girth and don't doubt for a second there are those among us waiting for the opportunity. Just keep an eye out for the cereals and you'll spot them and their cronies, they always gravitate together like magnets - it's a personality thing and pay attention to how hard they will try to control things and be in charge. These cats are sad, probably live an unfulfilled life and are a cancer on fun for the majority.
I joined Test with haste after reading the recruitment page; everything pointed at not becoming another depressing outfit as portrayed in the linked thread here, where they undoubtedly have a list of rules and regulations enough to keep a barred lawyer busy and employed full-time. There's no reason for it, it is ridiculous to see grown men do that shit, they need to get laid, they need to get off the wine coolers and quit being the kind of nerd that gives nerds a bad reputation.
I work hard for a living and have spent the majority of my 20's in a war-zone across 3 theaters. I get to enjoy the luxuries of American soil, where I live, for (if I'm lucky) up to 6 months a year. I get online to play games with cool cats, not go back to the military where a pimply faced cunt is barking orders at me in his pretend universe that is fabricated into being more serious than it is. I'll link to this the next time someone asks why I don't take things more seriously. This will be the one and only cereal post you will see from me here, ever, until the end of time. Sorry if it offends anyone, it is just how I feel about video games and in life in general. God bless you all, and may we never end up like these assholes.
