Farewell, Banger

Postby PFH » Thu Apr 26, 2018 2:34 pm

Due to recent events, Banger is now quitting the game. As sad as this is, i want to dedicate a forum post to it.

Banger, you have been an inspiration for many in this game, and for me as well. Your exceptional battle skills in this game have been shown and has given many players goals to reach in the game because of it. You were always a very reasonable and friendly player to those who have shortened you in one way or another, and i know this personally.

I know this sounds like you just died :D but thats not the point.

Players like Banger, players that achieved great heights and awesome skills, shouldn’t have to quit because of 1 player and because if voodoo. This is a perfect example of why voodoo is too influential on who stays and who doesnt. Many times through the history of this game, voodoo alone has crashed guilds and players alike.

What needs to be done is to either add ship and influence mechanics to counter voodoo or to introduce voodoo to a new part of the game, like storing them in ships. Or heck even getting rid of chests all together and having a function to hire witch doctors to do certain tasks like you would hire an admiral or a captain.

Because of this, Tom, you are on my watch and scope for a long time even after you leave. Anyone associated with you is also a target if the need is to get that way. Your reason to play that way is unjust and will be fixed. :pirateflag

Banger, i wish you the fairest winds and wish RL isn’t harsh to you like Tom was to you. Have a great one. :y

Banger will never quit... Well he might, but he will be back a week later ready to toss some cannon balls around.
I don't fear death. I look forward to it with great anticipation. For then I will met God face to face and let him know that I stole his Man of War!!!

Yet another pointless farewell topic. I really hate this kind of topics.

I think we should just consolidate and make a farewell topic or forum

Not a good idea. Some people will retire just to create a retirement topic. Or to complain about something. Then, no matter if they want to return or not, a retirement topic decreases these odds. Also, it promotes whining and the likehood of accepting defeat. From a game devs perspective, its like spreading plague to a village.

People should be able to take their breaks and then have clear mind whether they want to come back or not without the extra burden of those who will poke them afterwards "Hey, aren't you the one who retired?"

I say delete all farewell topics. Cut it in the root after farewell topics are deleted people will stop making them

Well, deletions are not good either. I prefer to explain why I am against these topics. Now, if someone still wants to make one, he should be able to do it.

Then at least lock the topic with a notation that topics of this type are frowned upon. Allows players to create the topic and leaves it visible, but prevents further discussion on it.
