Attention Players! The updated game will be up soon for all to view, I will come back and announce when it is up.
I am confident that everyone will enjoy the changes I have made and I greatly look forward to the next game!
Having said that, I want to share a few words with all of you regarding a very important matter.
One year ago, we had two teams and the teams were much smaller than they are now, about twenty on each, so about forty players total. Everyone knew each other back then, and we were all friends for the most part. The game was very competitive, however, even though we were divided as Joes and Cobras, we recognized that we were all part of the same game group. There were some minor squabbles and a few big ones, but we were basically a group of friends that got together to play a game.
It was competitive, but friendly.
Somewhere along the line, this was forgotten. We now have three teams instead of two, which is wonderful, and the teams are now between thirty and thirty five players, which puts us at between ninety and one hundred total! This is a beautiful thing, I am very happy that the game has grown as much as it has, and I hope it continues to grow.
The downside, however, is that with this many players, its hard to know everyone on your own team, let alone everyone in the game. Because of this, its easy to look at the other team as just the enemy, instead of seeing them as friends that you are playing a game with.
Whether you are a G.I. Joe, a Cobra, or an Iron Grenadier, you are all part of something larger. You are all part of the same game group.
Ultimately, we should be a group of friends that come together to play a game, and though it may not feel like it now, we are. Regardless of what team you play for, remember that the guys you are playing against are supposed to be your friends. Competitive, but friendly. I understand team loyalty and brotherhood, but if it comes at the cost of hurting others, the price is too high.
I am asking you all to remember that this is a friendly game.
*Tone down the smack talk. A little bit of friendly smack talk is expected, but what I'm seeing is just mean and hurtful. Stop with the insults and the name calling. Enough is enough. If you think that what you are about to post might hurt someone's feelings, then don't.
*Stopping by another team's thread to say Hi, make conversation, congratulate them or wish them luck, is encouraged.
Do not go into another team's thread and talk smack or be insulting. Do not try to recruit players in another team's thread.
*"Flavor text": When you make your game post, you are encouraged to add "Flavor text". The purpose of this is to play in character and "Act out" the action, or describe it. This makes the game world more rich and fun. If you are being humorous, that's great. I know how much I enjoy reading everyones game posts, its one of the best parts of this game.
However, please do not use flavor text as a forum to trash the other team and be mean and hurtful. Again, if you think that what you are about to post might hurt someone's feelings, then don't.
*If a new player is trying to decide which team to join, he/she is fair game. Talk up your team, brag, bribe them, take them out to dinner, I wish you good luck! Just keep it friendly.
Once a player has decided which team they are joining, it's done, leave it alone. Welcome them to the game and wish them good luck.
First of all, its bad game etiquette, its never been common practice, and we're not about to start now. Secondly, it makes new players feel uncomfortable when you give them flak because they chose to join the other team instead of your team. Its a great way to scare off a new player.
Bottom line, it all comes down to this;
Treat each other with kindness and respect.
This is a reasonable expectation. We are all friends here, or at the least, we should not be enemies. I expect everyone to treat each other with kindness and respect. Vadersquest and I are on the same page here. He agrees wholeheartedly with everything you have just read and will support and enforce this.
I just want everyone to be nice to each other. We need to focus less on competition and more on having fun and making friends. I want to move past this and get onto the fun stuff. Thank you.
