Yeah, it was really nice to see them ban blowing people up and shooting them with bullets en masse, and the ban on chemical weapons never gets broken by any world powers, and they sure weren't replaced in subsequent wars with things like firebombings, drones, napalm, Agent Orange, or nukes.
The agoge mods or some of their players started whiteknighting in response to someone that was actually defending them and criticizing the anon that was rude to them. Is what happened.
They never even said that though?? They just said that after a certain point, modern warfare gets too unpleasant to play pretend with because they can picture a war veteran family member involved in it?
This reeks of people getting mad because someone doesn't like a thing they like. Not everything revolves around you lol.
Yeah, I was thinking of apping there but not now. A few posts are pretty transparently agoge anons that can't read, especially with a few of the posts hyperfocusing on how that part of the war was personal!11! for a specific mod.
I'm sure some of these are just random anons stirring shit but a few of the comments reek of defensive mods or whiteknighting players, so gj agoge. Attacking an anon that's actually defending your mods and your tastes sure makes your game look welcoming.
they were asked why they were bothered by more modern events and not older ones, and they explained. not only was it relevant, they were directly asked
They outright said it was just that they could still picture someone they know involved in that kind of modern warfare, so maybe learn to read and stop being oversensitive non americans
Also people are probably bringing up the mod being Australian because it was in the linked thread. It's a legitimate point there. If Anon can have their tastes and biases determined by connections tangentially related to them at best, why can't a mod (who is much less tangentially related) do the same?
That would be a good point if the anon in the thread here on wankgate was the complaining anon on the mod post, or even part of the game, as opposed to someone who specifically said they didn't join it.
The thread is just wankgate being wankgate definitely, but I just wanted to point out that you don't need to be on the mod's the plurklist or whatever to know that information because it's right there in the deets presumably everyone read.
I wasn't acting like people knowing it was proof they were players, I was pointing out that people focusing on its important reeks of at least some of the posts being players or mods. ¯
There's no way to know but that's still the impression. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And I'll still be looking at other games instead. There are plenty that don't have wg threads that turn into shitshows to choose from.
one of the anons in this thread. i'm not actually in the game. i just think americans are tone deaf as fuck particularly when it comes to the first two world wars esp since they came in late.
Sorry you can't read and therefore can't understand the very basic idea of "this is a recent enough type of war that I can still picture a veteran family member involved in it and that makes it not fun to play barbies in, but everyone else should be allowed to play with it unbothered."
You kinda lost this argument. You just looked like a tit. They came off pretty reasonable.
Having a family member who fought in a war with modern warfare has everything to do with why they don't like to RP anything to do with any wars that used modern warfare.
They said WWI just the cutoff. I doubt that means they're hankering to get their Iraqi War RP on or play out that sweet Rwandan genocide PSL.
