Why do you even play here, then?

Clearly you don't even understand what happened or how the new rewards system is going to work, you were just jumping on HIS wagon (while condescendingly telling others not to do so for the opposing argument...hypocrite much?) to be all woo-woo-look-how-cool-we-are-being-anti-establishment. He was pissed because he lost roughly 2 ED that were exploited by voting from multiple IPs. He wasn't complaining about the change to the reward system, he was complaining because he abused the voting system, and +C removed only the portion of his rewards he cheated for.

What it all boils down to is this: Nobody's forcing you to play here. All this dissatisfaction and raging against the staff or thinking we're abusive powermongers or something.. ALL that can ever boil down to is - why do you keep playing here? Because you won't ever be able to "overthrow" anyone, it's a free shard owned solely by a person who does a great job, and derives what he wants and needs from it, so no amount of raging QQ about minor changes like this is going to change anything except your own satisfaction with the game. If It is such an issue, if you feel so passionate about it as to try and "fight the man", you should just go find somewhere else to play where you are happier. The problem is that some people feed off drama and feeling powerful via "fighting the man" so they won't quit, they just stay and try to start crap like this. +C and the rest of us on his staff run things the way he and we think it should be run. Don't like it? Stop logging in. Trust me, nobody will miss you. The rest of us actually like this shard.

The shard is free to play, not 'free to mouth off and be passive aggressively snotty whenever one feels like', so no, it's not really a 'free world'. There's a difference between 'bowing down' and expressing one's opinions in an appropriate way. You did not express yours appropriately, and I see from your logs that you tend to complain when things aren't the way you want them. Yet you continue to play here. You should either accept that this shard isn't yours and thus isn't 100% the way you would want it, and just enjoy the game; or quit and find someplace that is a better fit for you. Getting all worked up on the forums does nothing but make the staff view you as a problem child.

You may think you are free, but in truth you live in a society of laws, and even "free speech" can have consequences.

Playing here is a privilege, and not a right. It is Colibri's shard, not yours. We as staff make the rules. If you dislike them, you have choices. Whining about them won't help your cause. If you want to just complain about how much it sucks, or how this should be this way or that way or "my way", then maybe this isn't the shard you were looking for. There are plenty of other options out there.

I love seeing how you already contradicted yourself, first by saying 'this will be my last post on this forum', and then replying yet again with a comment on the animated gif.

If you have something constructive to say, we are all ears. If you just want to whine and complain, buy a dog, he will at least will be excited for your blathering.

Funny, one guy gets mad because he got caught cheating with multiple IP address, and has multiple accounts.
The other guy is mad because he has to work up to getting a free ED each day, but, will still end up receiving a free ED each day...

You can make a point without being passive aggressive or insulting others. Many in the above posts did the very same about this topic. We didn't all agree, but most of us tried to understand and be respectful of other's opinions. To jump into an argument and immediately side with someone denigrating others isn't going to buy you any fans or favor. It just comes off trollish. If you want to make a point, make it. I didn't agree with the staff on this one. Notice how I didn't receive negativity in return because I didn't first direct it. I highly doubt you would handle your arguments or expect to be heard should you interact with anyone like you have here in person, over the phone, via a business email, etc. Because it would be attributed to you and there would be consequences. Why would you expect any difference here?

There's probably a pea under his mattress preventing him from getting a comfortable night's sleep and that's why he's so grumpy over still being able to earn ED... :lol:

The greatest part in the op's diatribe is where they say they lost "almost 3" rather than just saying 2.

Much admiration to all the +ppl here. You have way more patience than me. I thought only Kara Zor-El behaved this way. :D

This is as close to being involved as I am going to get

the only thing I have to add on the subject.

contrary to what was stated in this thread you are in fact allowed to disagree with staff. +r +n +c +v +m +j are all quite reasonable people. The trick is how you choose to voice that disagreement. Polite and constructive is acceptable, what occurred here is not. I doubt that their aim is to be "wrathful"
