It is important to understand that We on the forums do not represent WoWs, nor do the testers represent the player base... true testers merely test designs, but we merely talk about them.

 

We are not comfortable with that kind of logic.

 

The uncomfort that is generated ... I would not think is unwarranted. Few things are perfect, and all things are biased. It is only natural WoWs cannot please all. And that would be fine, too, if those persons would be able to just let it go, both in how it is but a simple transaction, and that nothing more had happened but a mere transaction. And that mere uncomfort is but mere uncomfort, unwarranted, unspeakable, but why indescribable?

 

But if even this were to disappear, just as so much already has, then so much more will, too. Even less than indescribable, but not nonexistent. The fates of worlds hang in the balance. It is a delicacy beyond our skill of handling, by far.

 

That which collapses upon even attempt at conception, the deciphering of the puzzle in the dark ... you never know how to refit the puzzle, what the pieces are, what constitutes completion, or even ... and mere attempts to bridge the logic up, collapses from its frailty.

 

We all need to eat, and when we eat, we are satiated, and are content. We protect the hand that feeds us respectively. Be it the coin that buys our grain, or the hand of the goddess that grant us succor. The grain, we live, but the succor, May we accept it with grace, leads to salvation. Though soberly, it is merely energy that we live on, not salvation.


And only that which encompasses everything, and anything, shall save anything, and everything.

 

In an ideal world, there would be no good-guy bad-guy, our preconceptions make it so. We would be able to follow our calling regardless of labeling. Not to fear that progress is assertiveness, nor failure as servility. We would simply be able to “be”, naturally. Humility or drive, does it matter if they are either fake acting, or honored traits, depending on which side of success they are assigned to? In the abstraction of the overall, they are but meaningless. As they should be.
It is our condescending ideals of etiquette that have made them as they are so.

 

That we would hastily perform the accompanying ceremonies, even prematurely, to celebrate or despise traits, as if they were symbolization of the abstract acts themselves ... just shows how in a desperate, almost wretched hunger, we yearn for the salvation. How we are in a hurry to draw conclusions.
It is unfortunate, that I, and I, and I too, have not only a heart of darkness, but also a mind of one. It is crippling.

 

In the end, what we should remember is, because we are all on these forums, not reddit, not discord, not alone in the game, and definitely not on some other game, we are together. We are the same, and that alone should warrant mutual respect to why we are all still here. We may come into arguments, jests, jokes, but even through arguments, we participate, and without needs to the title conferred, that we shall prefer to instead earn in their own, much less to have it framed in a guise of being seized. And to one and all, in respect of that, I shall subside.
(And how I overreacted to a mention of this being merely “game forums” ... that warranted separate treatment. Sorry about there. But at least now you know the reason why I took it so personally.)

 

it is our nature to acquire second natures, or innocuous “yearning”, for more than our daily grain. We easily learn, adapt, and take up more vestiges. And the vestiges, learn back. We are all shaped by our circumstances ... unfortunately, sometimes not in the best. But that is debatable, everyone is unique. We should understand and respect that we do, not out of malicious intent, but helplessness, weary things that impress harshly on others. Sometimes despite best intentions. This cannot be helped, but it is also sacred. It is human. It is natural, and I dream, that someday it will no longer be a problem, not just on these forums, but through all continuity. We are graced with yet another opportunity to be its start.

 

Lest we forget.

Those who shall never be hurt.
And who shall never have to hurt anyone else, again.

 

And who fought to buy us this opportunity.

 

 I call for a bit of reflection from us all ... WG community staff, posters, forum members, not just on this recent initiative, but on our actions, on our motives, and on our convictions.

 

(It is something I am guilty of, god at spouting nonsense and not much of anything else. You should probably run, next time, if you see me spouting such ... fluent nonsense.)

As for WG ... well, don’t pretend you weren’t expecting a post like this to pop up sooner or later, and I’ll just be playing that cop this time.

If we would engage forums as if role playing for each other, as if consulating socially with each other, as if preparing and enjoying together the grain of thought, in ways that could, that are possible, even if it may be all fake, by because it took no actual strain externally, we may will it to be so.


Next time, when perhaps seeing someone struggle to express something, maybe just leave them with a kind “take your time”. To instead try to see the goodness in each other, that which is valuable, the things of truthfulness and honesty.
 

We are shaped by our occurrences, and that which we encounter. Our minds our subject to their impositions, be it the WG community reps by forum members, forum members by them, us by each other, us by the forums, or the forums, by us. This is sacred.

 

Some time ago, I remember a “no hostility” quote to Mr. Conway, which he actually graciously accepted. Unfortunately, as circumstances dictate, it may have slipped out of both our minds for a while, as it was simply so unfitting to the regular climate here that it would have been dangerous to actually take it to heart ... But I meant it, and I would mean the same now, and would mean it anytime into the future, because which I quote ... (

). Simple perception ... but used in a good way, might just work the minor miracles we need. It is ever too late to start working on it, on WoWs even now. But it must be done together.

 

As for WG side, they must realize the advantages and limitations of their chosen method of control ... how they may be able to choose select “strains” to emphasize and repopulate forums ecosystems with, but that this will also be slightly warped by their method, as do all methods, no matter how painstaking it took to try not meddle with the ecosystem.

 

And I will let the rest of my logic fray. Most of what I type barely condenses 20% of what I mean anyways, but if I could mean it all, regularly, well, to use my favourite and overused joke, ahem, "I wouldn't need to be here".

 

So Good day.

And you do not represent us all either. (Respectfully)

 

I kind of fail to see the point of this thread...
