ASPERMONT, WESTERLANDS- Scandal rocks the UTC as former 93rd Regimental Godlikespie openly bragged about having a hand in the void bow nerf claiming it was his suggestion.
The suggestion itself was not the main problem, but rather the underhanded methods used by Godlikespie by claiming he used an admin-friend relationship to push it across and used the words “told” and “suggested” to Marine_PvP which generated moral indignation(as always in this Godforsaken community). Those who gave him benefit of the doubt said it is unknown if he did mean that because English is not his first language. His detractors however claim that since he bragged about it and tried to claim credit, he thought he was safe with his ideas and thought would be honored or at least complimented but wasn’t. The nerfed void bow involves the following actions and requirements to complete the action:
1) 5 Arrows Requirement Per Shot 2) Complete Draw(Complete pullback) The UTC was abhorred rather, at both the idea and the premium-admin friendship network he used to implement the idea. The most support out of Godlikespie’s ideas in the UTC were only drastically reduced nerfs such as “I’d be fine with up to 2 arrows but five!?” to “Pullback completely, I’m fine, but WHY THE EXTRA ARROWS!?”.
The idea was brought up before and shot down by the community a year ago. Those old enough to remember see it as a confirmation of the constant efforts of the Eternal Premium and their agenda to take over MineZ for their own playstyle for their own friends without consideration for others.
The nerf is seen as making a legendary another white elephant like the many legendaries before such as the binding helmet, the binding bow, the ninja sandals. Reducing it to almost non-use due to its increased costs and complexity.
Godlikespie is also apparently accused as responsible for the potion chest nerfs with Marine_PvP, whose current intentions are unknown if it is related to UTC, but has been admitted to always watch over Godlikespie. One witness of a Company Member who was helping Godlikespie farm claimed that he did notice Marine_PvP watch over them after luckily alt tabbing with an unvanished name and the next day, the chest for Krubera was nerfed.
Company Members, Regimentals and Imperial Citizens who were present alongside or in voice chat found it quite suspicious that the nerfed potions were immediately the next day after Godlikespie played a session with them in the specific areas of interests.
Through all of this, Irishkaiser released an apology in the lobby before news gets out of the origins of the nerf.
The Directory later used these nerfs as an example of the exact same things that MineZ rejected long ago on account of exclusivity of one playstyle in that post made by DistortedDubstep.
I think I speak for everyone when I say this. We want grenades fixed, Krubera removed, necro removed, and void bows nerfed/removed.
People have been bitchting about those problems for months, and nothing has been done. The Krubera one especially being the easiest to fix. I think most people agree the dungeon is underwhelming, just remove it from the game.
The same thing happened months ago. It took forever to get speed removed from bazel, took forever to get damage fixed, and LTG fixed, and necro has been broken for MONTHS.
The arrogance of the premiums were highlighted because of their “I know better than you attitude” which according to the UTC is just a guise to hide the fact that they want to tailor the gamemode to suit their own playstyle because fuck others.
Godlikespie later said he wanted to leave the UTC main chat but not UTC itself, with Irishkaiser noticing Godlikespie playing the same Goddamn pity card before a lot of times but Irishkaiser said leaving was up to him and he can do it anytime he likes, decided to give Godlikespie what he requested even though it’s bloody obvious the guy doesn’t want to go and said “You know what, fuck this guy.” and just outright kicked him. He was later removed by the 501st regiment on account of his fickleness and lack of sense of honor(clanwhoring which risks espionage, using connections to achieve a goal affecting everyone else rather than going through the proper processes), and then finally the 93rd kicked him for his inability to be more open to others' point of view or opinion.
- EDITORIAL The Me Me Me Generation - Looking Back at the Article and Now.
Irishkaiser - A lot of you people have probably stumbled upon this very article in 2013 by Time Magazine called “Millenials: The Me Me Me Generation”
And it’s been 4 years since that article was published. Read it, I’m sure a lot of you will find something very very unnerving or frustrating but hating on young people is not going to be the point of this Empire article for I have seen much promise in some individuals. Individuals alone who seem to be immune to the bad and can carry and persevere regardless of the people around them. I am to this day amazed by their moral perseverance. There are still many among us who are good, and many who do actual good rather than what feels good. They are fewer, that is for sure, than the degenerates and the narcissists but there are still many of them who are good at heart. I have seen it myself and I still believe that A Still More Glorious Dawn Awaits. We’ll just have to bring the worthless or the unworthy along with us and pray they don’t kill us all.
All the negative things from that article with everyone being labelled as self-entitled, arrogant, lazy narcissists may in hindsight have been foreboding and gives a bleak outlook on the future. But what makes the millennial generation so potent is the technology they have inherited from the human tradition of science of progress.
The positive things listed in that article are only somberly reminded of other particular reasons such as the initial conclusion of being the most “financially responsible” later turned out to be…
They’re financially responsible; although student loans have hit record highs, they have less household and credit-card debt than any previous generation on record–which, admittedly, isn’t that hard when you’re living at home and using your parents' credit card. They love their phones but hate talking on them.
Yep… The resources of the past. Which I don’t particularly blame them as I mean, that’s what it’s for. The fuck is a dead guy gonna use that highway his tax dollars paid for? But to claim such things is quite arrogant when it really isn’t all you.
Both the millenials and the generations before them have to take the blame. The previous generation only wanted what was “best” for their children generally. However, this led to a huge wave of “spoiled brats” in every rapidly growing economy around the world. The problem being culturally acute in China where the one-child policy generated a huge amount of only children with parents who have huge assets in a country that is rapidly generating wealth and even made documentaries about them.
And yes, this also included the Chinese nation countries such as Singapore, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Though it is less acute in the Republic of China(Taiwan).
When Gangnam Style song by Psy came and became a worldwide hit, people seem to forgot that Psy was parodying and making fun of the an encroaching soulless materialism of the younger South Korean generation. People didn’t seem to remember that part and just remembered the “AHAHHA CRAZY HAHA FUNNY”.
Literally, “Gangnam Style” is the equivalent of “Doing it Big” as an American expression. The River Gangnam, where Gangnam Style’s name is taken from, is the river on which the city of Seoul sits. If you lived “Up the Gangnam” you’re practically living in the wealthy Metropolitan region as down the Gangnam was less wealthy and more moderate. The term was later used to express the over the top crazy abuse of wealth as demonstrated in the music video as “Gangnam Style”. Think of the equivalent of Beverly Hills for you Americans.
The Arabic countries have always had a tradition for showing off wealth to guests and as a way to demonstrate that they can secure their office(I can pay soldiers and bribe officials nigguh), but even the people realize that it’s going way too fucking far. Remember the Arab Spring? Oh yeah. That’s how bad it got for the wealthy few. And fuck me, are Arabs really fucking showy with their wealth. Jesus fucking Christ, I will never forget my own Middle Eastern tour and how it irked me. I guess that’s not really their problem but just my own personal preference for degrees of restraint.
So we can see what happens when the minority rich get a little too narcissistic. But what if they suddenly become the majority? You get… The Western Millenials.
Regardless, it is not just about data as even in the past, we’ve had apathetic narcissist rich douchebags that can’t look past their own noses and only think about themselves and we later turned out fine. We called that era in the United States the “Roaring Twenties”. What cured such narcissism? Unfortunately… It was the Great Depression and The Second World War. I only pray that we learn without suffering for it was the people born in the Great Depression and the people who experienced the Second World War that earned the title in the United States as its “Greatest Generation”.
But this Generation, the Generation of Millenials is different from all those before it, even the degenerate ones in the past. They live in a time that empowers the individual against the masses. For the same technology that many people abuse or just plain waste, can also be utilized by individuals or a few amount of people to compete on a level playing field with bigger companies… Or even… Public opinion in general. A Renaissance of Conservatism and Right-Wing Politics, a concept initially spurred by this generation is now making headway in countries around the world.
There is hope that the right people will be in charge, that the right people will know what to do and if they play their cards right in this era of convenient soapboxes, they will in the end triumph or at least prevent us from destroying ourselves with selfish ideas that have no thought. In this day and age, we have finally empowered the individual to compete against the masses and that is something to be hopeful for. It’s almost surreal. Literally we can have “Chosen Ones” come out and defy all the odds and public opinion and or even the flow and change the world for the better. There is hope and that is my prophecy. Would you like to save the game here in case we fuck up in the future?
It is still a double-edge sword but just like the economy today, there is plenty of opportunity and hope. And to those who are the right people, when you grow up, remember this line from Civilization V: Gods and Kings.
“You must tread carefully, my son. For their charge now lies with you. Choose their path, and guide your people through these ever changing times.”
