Oh, I can put a price on it Kumo!

Hi Lionz,Whilst not involving myself in the politics of this thread, I'd like to call you out on this assertion.We use permabans very infrequently (as far as I can remember, only one so far this year) and do so only for multiple or particularly egregious breaches of the rules.  The rules are there to preserve both the fairness and fabric of the game.  "Not being liked by the top players" plays no part in GM decisions.Regards,SC

Due to you replying to me in this thread and not in my strategy thread, I consider that to be a trollish move. Because I wanted your reply to my strategy thread

Which is why LAWN said you are welcome to join H? anytime. Your personality is the same as theirs and you are just as EVIL.

Do you really believe that H? is in a contest with Curse to see who is the most evil?   If so, I know there are some guys who want to sell you a bridge out there...   As to protecting new players, I defy you to find a single alliance who has provided more protection (both as H? and as the provider of protection to T?) for new players in this game. Your accusations are baseless (just like your slight on TD was) and, frankly, the fact that you espouse the beliefs of the most egregious troll in this game, LH, are doing you absolutely no favors.   And, btw, I don't lead H?, KP does-- yet another example of you not having your facts straight.   Kumo

You also have destroyed more towns than any other alliance.

I am pretty sure you love to be EVIL all the time. If I remember right, you do not like competition. I bet you hate the fact Curse is mentioned in the same EVIL breath as H? now.

The truth has been out for awhile now... H? has been EVIL from the get go.

I talked to a fellow gamer about the state of this game... An experienced gamer with valid points and opinions. I talked about the community and the strategy in Illyriad. He told me that this game sucks due to the ZERG warfare due to a player having no way to defend against overwhelming odds. It also sucks due to the superiority complex community that drives players from the game if they do not have the same personality as the top players. Basically, if you are not allowed to join this private party, the shunned players should leave game and have their IP banned due to not being liked by the top players. He said the strategy in the game presents a HUGE balance issue favoring the attacker over the defender. I told him that players need to have a lot of friends due to the game ZERG tactics that the community adopted as the only tactic in the game. He said that was way too boring. He told me that he played a game kinda like this one that had the same type of community forcing players out of the game that did not fit their personality... The game he told me about... ended up dieing due to the community.

The lifeblood of any MMO, is the community. No matter how great a game is, if a community like this one tries to control every aspect of the game (in game and forums alike)and allow only the players that fit in with the top players, the game will be doomed!

H? may help new players join the game... However, if these new players do not have the personality they favor, they will force these players out of the game.

This community is more of a reflection of H?... An uptight community that forces player out if they do not fit the personality they like.

Like I said before, this game needs a lot more MOD Strategos players, instead of control freaks that feel the need to force their personality onto others will.

Basically what H? and the top players with similar personalities want, is a private party server that has only the personalities that fit with theirs.

With all of this said, I like the Illyriad game, I like the potential it has. I would love for this game too fix the balance issues. Once those issues are fixed, I think this game will be a keeper. However, like I said a million times, the community right now is filled with control freaks and I find that to be unfortunate. To be accepted in this community is just as hard as getting the green jacket at The Masters.    

And believe me, I have tried to get that GREEN JACKET!
