BB, that really isn't a very good analogy. Like that is technically correct, but Niku has you dead to rights.

So it's a good analogy, it just doesn't encourage anybody here who's skittish about EA's draconian moderating and DRM policy to play the game.

I think it's a fine analogy, but it would be more accurate if he punched me when I was chewing my second slice and took back the rest.

It's an accurate analogy, but it's not good because it doesn't ultimately further Beat's real point.

Playing semantics, etc.

And made you pay for the whole pie, not just the slice you ate.

Beat Bandit · « **Reply #25 on:** January 01, 2012, 09:46:57 PM »

what are you talking about my argument is that their pie is delicious

Mongrel · « **Reply #26 on:** January 01, 2012, 09:48:33 PM »

It is hard for humans to concentrate on the deliciousness of said pie when our attention is focused on avoiding a random fist. This does in fact make the pie less delicious to the person trying to eat it.

Defenestration · « **Reply #27 on:** January 01, 2012, 09:52:11 PM »

If you think the pie is delicious, that's great. But it doesn't bother you watching the server crack his knuckles as you eat it?

This is the point we're trying to make.

(I wonder how far this analogy will stretch)

Mongrel · « **Reply #28 on:** January 01, 2012, 09:53:21 PM »

(depends on how much pie we can eat)

(he said analogy not waistline)

Let's all agree that if a guy wants to jam his dick into a piranha's mouth that is his own business and we should just stop getting on his case if he doesn't care that his dick might get bitten off.

Am I doing analogies right?

Defenestration · « **Reply #32 on:** January 01, 2012, 10:10:31 PM »

Going to go with no.

I will note here that reddit is saying that the guy in the first link was using a friend on the opposite faction to flip control of a PVP zone back and forth (because this makes all the resource nodes respawn) and that is what he was banned for.

I have no dog in this fight, but I want to explain the reason people say the moderation has a direct effect on their game experience. It's simple: It's fear.

If a players sees stuff like the linked images happening frequently, they cannot feel secure playing the game. Whether or not the fear is fully justified by raw statistics (i.e. actual percentage of people who get banned for really dumb nonsense), is irrelevant - it's fear! A deep emotional response.

Guild Hall? I mean. It was a valid discussion of the status of the game, right?

Bal · « **Reply #36 on:** January 01, 2012, 10:45:31 PM »

The guild hall? Are you fucking kidding me?

Joxam · « **Reply #37 on:** January 01, 2012, 10:47:53 PM »

John can't debate in the debate forum and I removed it from the On-line Hook-Ups thread because I didn't figure any of you guys wanted to play SWTOR with us.

EDIT: This is where we agreed we'd put shit if people like John or Guild wanted to comment on debate.
EDIT 2: It does fit here also, I hope you guys like this better! Please don't be mad at me!

Smiler · « **Reply #38 on:** January 01, 2012, 10:54:08 PM »

It's not like it matters; the topic didn't need to be in the online gaming forum anymore.

Edit: We are all mad at you forever.

Defenestration · « **Reply #39 on:** January 01, 2012, 11:02:52 PM »

I... suppose that makes sense. And I figured it was going to be moved, but to the gaming forum. I've come to understand that having a conversation you started moved to Guild Hall meant a mod thought you and the conversation you started was stupid, so understand if I was taken aback.
