Thanks for the kind words Kradie, appreciate it

The replay is fixed and the other game is removed. It's better to update the replay than to report again.

We do have off topic board and I'm pretty sure you are aware of it but we allow vanilla subject. Shouldn't you elaborate about your kind of "off topic"?

Works for me. Download size 1.3GB.

It was never a hard rule. In some cases, we've reduced the winning percentage just to allow more players into the PO.

Alright.

@Lupastic, You had lost this argument the moment you claimed that Natalia wasn't cheating. A case completely confirmed by the game devs. (I still have her attempts btw) You have proven numerous times that you blindly insist on your personal conclusions no matter if you are provided with proof. I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my post above. That was a warning, not a request.

@Sbaffo @Zalo I don't like where this trash talking is headed. It's just juvenile and has no place in the public forum.

@Lupastic, you've shared enough about blitzed.

- If you have proof, you are more than welcome to show it to game devs. They won't hesitate to contact me.
- If you don't, then don't bore us with the same baseless accusations. We get it, your gut tells you he is not legit. Just let it stay in your gut, we're not interested unless mentioned above.

Maybe this works?

I've removed the link.

Welcome to TUS and congratulations on your first wall-post

@kradie,

you are a civilian walking down the street. You can hear two white dudes sitting outside at cafe chilling rambling about whatever. Out of nowhere you can hear one of them say the ''N'' word clearly. What would you choose to do as a civilian? Call the police? Intervene in their discussion?
And let's say you were an officer of the law Komodo, what would you do in that situation? Would you arrest them for saying a word you don't like? Or imagine something else said you didn't like. What would you do?

The street example is not a good analogy for WormNET. People passing on a street don't have anything in common. You could say WormNET is like a club or a bar. People who enter the club/bar may not know each other but they are looking to experience something similar. Now everytime you go to the bar you see people vomiting or having a bar fight, even though none of them are targeted at you, it definitely impacts your experience of that bar/club.

Freedom of speech is defined within a community/society. Freedom of speech in a country is different than WormNET. You must first define what your target community is about and help it to grow in that direction. You can't use your prescription for real life society for WormNET as well.

WormNET is about W:A and activity of W:A. Basically the community of W:A players who want to enjoy the game together. You have age range roughly 10 to 50.

- Does it help your community to talk about right/left political agendas? (in society: YES, in WormNET: NO)
- Does it help to talk about Hitler? (in society: YES, in WormNET: NO)
- Does it help to talk about religion? (in society: YES, in WormNET: NO)

People tend to leave your community when they don't like its atmosphere. It is not about growing a pair and being tough. It's not about ignoring what you don't like. TRUST ME! I've ran this show for 15+ years. People have left the community in front of my eyes. Many of those who left were not even the target of some beef. They just didn't like the atmosphere of people pulling each other's hair.

- DarkOne was one of them. He was a GEM! He said he got frustrated with certain behaviors and one day he was fed up and done.
- Peja left for a long long time. His quitting reasons had NOTHING to do with W:A itself but over some toxic discussions and me failing to realize absolute freedom of speech eventually contradicts itself. (yes TUS had a high degree of freedom of speech in the past)
- Gabriel left the game on and off. Luckily he's still with us, but look:

oh my god now i remember why i stopped playing this game
it was better when you could just chill with random players in the lobby and meet cool, interesting, and most importantly, humble people. you're just a bunch of conflictive and narcissistic fossils now

and these examples are known wormers. There are newcomers who won't bother and boy we have lots of cringe worthy beefs. WormNET moderation is a MUST and its sole purpose should be to keep a friendly atmosphere. We don't want to be an ancient mysterious game like Jumanji. We want new blood and a safe/cozy WormNET is the way to go.

p.s
Freedom of speech is like a farm. You have chicken, duck, geese, cows, donkeys, horses, pigs... and the farmer. They tolerate each other and the farm functions.
Absolute 100% freedom of speech is like introducing a few cobras in that farm. (The cobras will make all the animals stronger and they build character... oh and the farm produces twice as much.)

Honest mistake. They DO look very similar.

Maps are a bit different.
