Ok so what do you all expect him to do, Not play at all?
It's something which they even understand in africa. If you run a competition or an event where people can win prises, money, then you ban your employees, their relatives and friends and yourself from entering the competition, because if you EVER WIN (yes if), then you are utterly fucked in the public eye. The losses ND is going to suffer "if" he ever pulls a major ATH with special new items on his planet, are going to eclipse what he'd lose by just not gambling in his own room of the casino. He will suffer a public onslaught 10X the magnitude he suffered in this thread.
Don't you think it's a good thing he comes in, speaks to people and gets involved?
I don't think for a second he has used his avatar once to exploit anything imho,
Oh it is goon in the same way that Marco loggin in is good for Calypso, but then again he doesn't engage as a player, but as an official. So you trust him, but well I don't. But im not so forthright as to THINK anything of what he could or could not have done, I look at what others are stating, and the evidence they present.
Sure he has had some globals.. so what,
What about the Millions of dollars he has spent on the creation of these planets,
Makes a couple globals seem a bit insignificant?
If a casino owner won the largest jackpot it would PALE IN COMPARISON to what his start-up costs were, but it is still CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
To be perfectly honest with you,
I don't see, "We want the rules clarifyed" or " ND is bending the rules, Do somthing",
All I am seeing is, "Neverdie got some globals, and he's a planet partner, Oh no lets lynch him on the forums, and dig as much dirt on him as possible."
Then you are fucking blind, simple as that, or you have a selective memory and/or didn't read all the posts.
Granted not all of you have,
Ok self contradiction...
But alot of these posts have been very backstabby and just instigating trouble imho.
Some have been, but that is the curse of freedom of speech, sometimes you don't hear what you want. I simply filter out the shit and keep the gems.
If some people think what I said was rash/out of turn,
Fine.
But simply going after someone like this is unreal,
It is going to get worse the more this cloud of secrecy hovers over Planet Partners. MA aren't helping it with their stance on this and FPC can't say shit as it does not involve them. ND stands alone and people are standing up and making a commotion because they are smarter than the average MMO'er and can see and understand the injustices (even if minor for now) which some players are allowed to get away with.
I dont ever remember anyone going this nuts when there was a serrious problem with a player at swamp camp 3 years ago being incredibly racist, even the avatar name its self was.
Thats just one example but there is much more.
It is because we can do math and comprehend the difference in scope between one 12 year old idiot calling everyone a racist name and someone who owns a VERY LARGE stake in a virtual universe and who is out there in the public eye and affects how people will approach the game, which guess what, affects ALL OF US.
alot of you posting are far from being shining examples of decent people.
Red herring...... so what? We're talking about ND here, not us. Logical fallacies might be glossed over at a family conversation, but there are people here who don't fall for such poor debate tactics.
Imho, you think someone is breaking the rules, Send a support case.
Why drag that persons name through the mud,
Many have, and you can hear the grass grow from MA's lack of "clarification".
Neverdie might have a thick enough skin to ignore or brush off alot of comments he perhapse gets,
But that still doesnt mean people have to be that harsh,
I've hardly seen much which can be called HARSH, oh i've seen some stupid comments, but for the most part, people are nitpicking. They are not insulting ND as a person, more how he is treated by MA and what he has been allowed to do.
My own personal opinion on it should be this.
Rocktropia forum should be on Rocktropia.com, Not Neverdie.com.
Club Neverdie should be on Rocktropia as it fits with more of a musical Genre,
Please don't be so bombastic and insult ND's intelligence by spewing your opinion bile around in public and suggest IMPROVEMENTS to how he does things. Some of us might get offended. Yes this is pure BS defence on my part, but if we can't share an opinion on how he does things, neither can you.
I also think that if people really have such a big problem with ND playing then his avatar should be made an official one that can control the planet correctly.
Hey you are coming around to our viewpoint
And im sure that alot of people at FPC, MA have their own avatars to play with, just none knows them,
That would be wrong... see the previous 75+ pages for an explanation as to why.
So with that, He could have an official avatar, but still play as normal as ND.
I'd prefer an Official role, leave the playing to the customers.
Why is that so wrong, Why is that hurting people.
It hurts the very person you are trying to defend, because this thread was just a demo of what will come when ND hits ATH/rare shit on rocktropia! If anything, stop thinking of the here and now, and think LONG TERM and maybe you'd realise we're actually, in a way, even defending ND from himself or the "extra rope" that MA hands him, some people when given enough rope will hang themselves.
One more thing, Why is FPC allowed to create Events, And be able to implement things like, Christmas Gifts, or Special Prizes,
We can't answer that, only MA can.
