Conversation Between Catwalk and tloblaw

  1. Thank you for your kind words, but I'm afraid my decision stands. I've spent enough time on the game, now I'm scaling down my efforts. I've had 3 big projects past few years: The game, my kingdom and #strategy. Of those 3, my kingdom is the one I care about the most and where I'll be putting my efforts. I haven't quit the game, still serving as monarch with a reduced role. I don't feel that it's worthwhile to keep putting this much energy into the game and the community, and I've enjoyed it while it lasted.
  2. Hey,

    You don't know me, and if I saw you in real life, I would probably want to punch you in the jaw. Having said that, if you are leaving this forum, you are committing a very selfish act, and making a desperate act at being a martyr. Martyr's don't work in the forum community, people tend to forget far too quickly.

    I know you're smart enough to understand what I am saying here, but maybe don't understand how your leaving signals any selfish act, I'll tell you. You want change, passionately, and perhaps it is dug so deep in your soul that you go about it far to hard, but I know you truly want change for the better in this community. With your departure, I may lose the 9000 troll posts, but I will miss the 1000 well written points. Even when I don't agree with you, I will always defend your right to say it.

    Obviously leaving the game is the primal choice, of our inner most instincts. A wise consumer only buys a product they want. They only keep buying product that functions how they want it to, or how it was intended. So the wise consumer stops buying the product, or in this case, buying INTO the product and atmosphere created. However, Utopia is more yours than it is OMAC. In both time invested, emotions, enjoyment, and overall community investment. For you to simply 'leave', is to throw away all these years. In all these years, you have overcame many obstacles, and to be swayed by this one is selfish. There are very few people in this community that hold the respect and hatred over so many. Positive or negative, you have influence over more people than probably anyone else in Utopia. Not only that, but you back your points up very well, and are a very good arguer. Not that it takes a genius to point out OMAC's flaws.

    To go on, I have noticed them implementing moderators that do not even conform with the RULES OMAC posted themselves. Bishop for one. We need people like you, because even despite the game, you can't let them take away the community. And by leaving, it very much reminds me of the selfishness of suicide. No matter what you may think, there are others who need you.

    So, again, I would punch you in the face if I saw you in real life, but in the interest of the community and the game, we can't have our best soldiers desert.

    Thanks,
