I personally don't think people will see eye to eye in this no matter what is said.
When I first started playing vikingr, I was the worst player there ever was. I did not get a kill for what seemed like months. The best players were always on the other team. This mods huge learning curve and the heavy based team play is what truly appeals to me in this game. 8 to 9 months later I STILL suck at the game! From what I have read is that you are worried that new players won't have fun playing.
Honestly, sometimes you are the hammer and sometimes you are the nail. This is the way of the world, of WAR and of life. It is really how you approach the difficult circumstances. This is what makes you a man. The world is a cold dark place. How could you loose heart after a couple of bad rounds in a video game? What are you going to do when the wolf comes in real life.
I have had my share of unfortunate events in my life. You get past these events by fighting. By hard work and realizing the the strength that resides in true teamwork. There is no forum filled with diplomats to help solve things that you don't agree with. If you really could win with "limited effort" like what was said in older posts please do it. Are you telling me that you are not willing to put "limited effort" in to solving this "problem"? Can we just play the game and have fun?
Some people, myself included are perfectionists. When I do something in life I strive to be the best at it. This is how some people are. Our clan has some great players in it but we are not invincible. (FAR FROM IT) If you put forth the effort displayed in these threads in game you could beat us. There are many other clans (FERN has AMAZING PLAYERS and people) that have true talent in their midst.
It is really funny to me that a lot of people think SKYPE is what makes it unfair. If you could hear our actual conversations on skype you would probably all laugh at us. We talk MORE about what our second favorite animal is than any sort of tactical content. I enjoy these guys company and I will never stop using skype with them.
I will do whatever Bjorn decides is best for the clan but if it was my choice I would simple say "Vikings have come to Vikingr, ask Alfred the great how to stop it"
Like I proposed before, I was hoping me and Guth could never talk to each other ever again. This would alleviate a lot of unnecessary problems. I don't like trash talking or verbal anything...I enjoy fighting. If you agree Guth please don't respond.
We could all stop talking about this now and post our second favorite animals. Which I think is important.
I choose...Belgian Malinois which is my wolf dog. My wife chooses the polar bear.
