It might be hard for some people to see this, but the thing that is MOST likely to get a game shut down is people repeatedly being fluffs to the people that run the game FOR NO REASON*
(*Having a small pee pee and a big god complex isn't a reason)
For clarity, I am not directing this specifically at you KoH, it is a general statement about the state of affairs surrounding this game and many others. It isn't a new thing, it's a tired and played out set of behaviours that has plagued a subset of humanity for millennia.
Anyone can hit anyone else in express, I already covered why *I think* this is a bad idea. That doesn't mean I am right, I think it would be great to see someone doing that and then winning the server. The nuance and understanding of the game mechanics required to pull it off would demonstrate some real skill to me. Even a genuine attempt to do so would be something.
The mods stepping in should be a warning sign that fluff isn't right and hasn't been right for a long enough time to warrant drastic action.
Saying that mods were responsible for teams being a toxic cess pit of whiny ass fluffes is like saying that the fire brigade are the ones that wrecked a burning house by turning up and pouring water on it.
Saying the it was mod actions that resulted in teams being shut down, is like saying that the burned out building was subsequently demolished by building control because it had gotten wet.
Meanwhile the arsonists that set the fire stand back rubbing their hands together like a housefly thinking about the next pile of fluff it is going to eat.
The most tiresome thing is that the people who aren't being fluffs can see all this playing out, and are painfully aware of the what the players in question are doing with their fake indignation and their disingenuous bullfluff stories about being the victims. Some people are just pathetic, it's no longer surprising to me, so I'm not particularly disappointed. What I would like is for them to figure it out, to be more self aware and have the humility to acknowledge this and instead of constant self flagellation they could try self improvement. I think they would find this much more rewarding than continuing to delude themselves into making the next terrible choice, which as we've seen recently at the extreme can then start to bleed outside the game.
It is a game after all, right?
