Good morning.
I am one of the new persons that has joined odium in the last few.
I operate under BlackHawk. (Yes he can be abrasive, but its all in good fun.)
I have been playing with and in star-made since april 2013.
I enjoy my time playing in odium and am willing to support the group. With anything at my disposal to do so.
From what ive seen, Members that were in each faction, come and go. Some will go inactive for months then show up when the game they were playing becomes boring or they get back from an trip to play on the no re-spawn "server" that is life. All that Ive seen are always welcomed back.
This group of players reminds me of my cs:s days. in 2004-7 I played and admin-ed for LanFusion and their pinup group GirlsOfCS. (admin-ed for them, not a gurl) We had members come and go. but they always came back. and ALWAYS were welcomed back with excitement.
although. now if I join a server I get kicked because of my name.... used it since 2003.. not changing it willingly.
- back to topic. -
I have been always the quiet one in chat. just listening and judging. I have sat in TS for elwyn, MF and Odium. None of you guys are bad. there are little bickers between members. there are the little things that factions do to other factions that just don't sit all to well with my moral compass. but at the end of the day, all this is a game. almost anything done can be reversed.
samuel may have over stepped his place, shot off his mouth before his brain was fully loaded. but he did that in support of a faction and group he is in full support of.
Donut. I haven't had to much exposure to you. I have read posts and listened to you. you have a head on your shoulders. I personally see your letter a drama incitement. but please, all players should have a strong and active faction to be part of. So continue.
The CR as i see it is a group of friends that want to play together. I still dont understand why you guys are stating that there is spying and theft. Slow your roll.
Zoro and BH are of like mind. even if they disagree. Might is right, shout, be heard and carry a big stick. While their posts can be aggressive and fn brutal, that is what the 2 factions are. AA CR and VGR have the potential to be the big aggressive alliance that everyone can hate and that's the place in the game for them, us, at a time in this games life that it is a sand box with no objective, this can give players and objective to aim for.
My opinion is that instead of banning players for posting drama, there should be a RP/Story/Drama section to the Faction forums that can foster and enhance the back story of these growing factions and alliances. The bickering and fighting is good for the game and community. A place for persons personality to show. A place to judge and decide who you want to be allied with and who you disagree with.
The drama is what defines a group of persons. to Kick and Ban persons based on personality is morally wrong.
As a player of SM, I am always willing to help new players and teach them all of the parts of the game.
As a member of AA and Odium, I will follow the leaders and press forward to attain and maintain dominance.
As a person I am looking to enjoy my free time. Please don't make me sad. I don't like being sad.
If I don't like a person, I chose not to interact with them. There have only been a couple individuals that have thoroughly made me not like them to the point of ignoring them to the best of my ability. This is called "Don't feed the trolls."
Odium is here to stay. the names may change the alliances will change. but there will always be an "Odium."
All factions change the members that are in them. I once was the faction leader and Cyn was a member. now we are rivals. someday I'm sure that will change again. We are all learning and playing together. We are crafting the game as much as Schema. What game do you want to play? lets enjoy this. its just beginning and looks amazing from my seat.
tldr: This game has no age wall. Remember the Golden Rule. Pretend the other person is your little 8yo cousin and be kind.
Lets build a multitude of great factions and Alliances. Lets grow together and help bring more people into this game that the Grey Cat is creating.
Thank you for your time.
