My opinion is that intolerance is the cancer. Unfortunately this game is a mirror of society, and that means intolerance is merely a reflection of an innate human flaw. But intolerance infects every part of the this gaming community and it always has. (Some choose to embrace it and even argue it is good for the game, saying it promotes competition. But while it may be true that intolerance can drive increased competition, good strong competition can exist without intolerance.)
People love to blame intolerance on whatever authority is empowered, whether it be The Church, the government, or the staff of some on-line game. But the fault lies in humans, not the intangible organizations they surround themselves with.
Indicators of intolerance are easy to see, they almost always include justifications built upon sweeping generalizations and assumptions. So next time anyone finds themselves getting pissed over some noobie team-killer in a pub, saying idiotic things like all Euros are this way or that way, all Republicans are assholes, all Muslims are fundamentalists, or getting all twisted over a TW racism rule that tries to address intolerance, go look in the mirror to see the problem.
I might just be some old hippie, but ‘live and let live’ seems like a good idea to me. But ‘live and let live’ doesn’t generate any way to consume all the money that governments have spent on weapons, it undermines all those really good reality TV shows, and it lessens the drama in TW.

what is this post?

you can't honestly believe that someone stops playing this game because of racism or politics, come on

That's not true, I was just reading a post the other day from a guy that said "I wouldn't dare let my kids play this game because of all the racism".

I'm sure people log in all the time, see the racism and log out. Consequently I'm sure some kids have played this game, parents have seen something obscene said (racism being part of it) and made them stop playing.

There's no possible way with absolute certainty that I can say this is a large number, but I'm sure it can attest to a few dropped players along the way.

i'm drunk but that won't stop me from telling you that a zone full of guys who shake hands and have nothing but good things to say after every round of every game isn't going to work, and i don't have to turn the clock back very far to illustrate my point

remember last season's ld finals? yeah, the one with a crowd that was notably larger than the other two (large enough to make the zone crash)

you know why that crowd was so large? i'll give you a hint: it wasn't because of thunder, nobody gave a shit about thunder

no, it was because quicksand was involved, and everyone wanted to see them lose, fact is the few bad guys in the player base who know how to pull it off are good for the game regardless of what you or anyone else may think

let's be real, the fact that you want everyone to act happy-go-lucky and sugarcoat all their words and actions makes it painfully obvious to me that you have never been involved in any important squad rivalries that have provided fuel for the zone's fire over the last several years

i won't drop names that were before my time because i'm not a windbag like some people around here but "bad guys" have been involved in every key rivalry of every season since i became interested in league play, take them away and you've got boring leagues that people just aren't going to care about

when's the last time you read a comic book where good guys fought good guys? honestly, love them or hate them, the bad guys bring people to the games so just leave them be and stop trying to turn this into some carebear shit

this game is old and people are growing up and there's nothing you can do to change that, your pink band-aid with little kittens on it isn't going to stop the cancer, give it a rest

The only way to keep this game alive and well is to have all you players who care so much about this to spend money on big ass tournemts that have a point. Like game systems cash and giftcards. and pay staff to host them. this is what I'd do.

I think we should make trading cards of everyone in Trench Wars. Then we can trade them amongst each other and battle them.

I choose you, 24!
24 uses Rice Attack. But, it's not very effective.
Frightful uses Godzilla! It's super effective!

nope, i still don't believe anyone has quit or parents have made them stop playing. and if their parents did make them stop playing, that must mean they were 12.. and if they were 12, it probably means they were annoying e-badass fuckers who we don't want here anyway

I agree with everyhing you say 24. Only yesterday I left win or die because of immature assholes whining before, after and during games. Like I said yesterday in twdd "if I wanted to play with 10 year olds, I would of became a paedophile and not a space pilot"
