    Question about IQ alliances

    in Orbis Central

    You don't have to switch to a 'winning' side - I don't believe that's what Kastor was implying there.

    On an aside, I don't get this general consensus that you must always ally to friends. I have friends and people I like in a couple of different alliances at this point, but don't need to be in an alliance allied to them to still have fun. Similarly, I'd be totally fine with going to war against them/their respective alliances (and have done a couple of times in the past) if the opportunity presents itself (Looking at you @Baronus:P) (alright I might draw the line at RW, unless it was something agreed before hand, haha). If one wants to be and do everything with their IG friends why don't they all form a single alliance? Not much difference all things considered, and after all, alliances are pretty much just communities of people that mostly get on with each other anyway.

     

    So half the game go and duff each other up and we'll [IQ et al.] just watch and do nothing, right? Dynamic indeed!

    James, Mate, I am still waiting for you to declare. Tick tock goes the clock, till the party goes wock (I dont know what the hell I just said, anyhow declare on meeeeee I want @HannaH to give me a war participation medal)

    Rozalia's Pick 4 Wives topic has made me want to move to Guadeloupe to embrace their race, a race I didn't know existed before the topic was posted. If anything, it was educational and motivating rather than racist and bigoted.

     

    Edit: Obligatory Mods suck comment

    I mean just look at me... I never knew armenian women were so beautiful... and there I was yesterday at three AM with four wiki pages opened about armenia... apparently it is a rather troubled nation in the caucasus but never mind, the point is, Roz's post was indeed eye opening and I think it was great pedagogically to help kids get more in touch with other cultures, if we are pulling the kids card already

    Would this give us a new little "in-game" icon to go with our "Beta", "Speed Round" and various "Birthday" icons? 

    Tbh it would be great if we got an icon for being rascist , even though we are probably being less rascist than the mods

    After all, we are accepting the multiracial beauty of all women, dont see a particular problem but of course once the muslim card is over, the childrens card and the women card gets played. Nowhere in the thread did anyone say they were ugly women or discriminate against other women for not looking right...
    The argument about potential of rascism is also a bit weird, because a pencil has potential to kill people and you dont see people banning pencils because murder potential ;)

    Even though judging people based on their looks and deciding possible mates like this is a biological trait that should not be underestimated. We like to pretend that we only judge people on how they are inside, but our reptilian brain definitly does look at the outside. Not embracing this biological fact is just not right. We are objective creatures after all, and we want people that both look good and are good.
     I do by no means promote rascism, but it is to be realistic: Everyone likes a good looking woman, and everyone judges people objectively first.

    Also Alex, to you directly: You are saying young kids play this game and should not be subjected to this, but you come from the nation that objectivies woman in media on a daily base? Kids are more than prepared for this and are more than used for this, in beauty pageants that are seen pretty often, both real ones and ones in cartoons, in school they are also judged on their looks and concentrate on those things too. After all, the age limit for this game is 13, right? That is puberty, the age where people start caring about their looks a lot, and the age where we start to develop a view about what is beautiful. This post would tell kids that all women from all races and places of the world are beautiful, instead of just the women from their area. How on earth is that racist?

    Are you going to say that biology and evolution is racist now for making us judge people by their looks first to determine health and other factors like fertility?
    Or are you saying that we are racist for supporting interracial relationships?
    Or are you saying that Sharia Islam is the real and right islam?

    I dont know what you are trying to say and I would really like clarification, because from what I have seen , we are just running around in circles hiding behind the banners of sexism, racism and I guess discrimination and objectification without actually clarifying WHY we reasoned like that. It is easy to say something is racist just like it is easy for me to say that Rozalia is a A-Hole ( ;) ), but WHY is it racist?
    Please lets remain civilised and talk about this , because these kind of discussions are what kids actually need. They need to develop their mind themselves, not be fed whatever is mainstream now... imagine if we did that in 1933s Germany

    Anyhow, jokes aside, these are my two cents and I know I am likely getting a strike for criticising the big brother and fighting against their current, but what gives...after all: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strenght :)

    My only real problem is that this is Spectrum 2.0. VP will leave after the first war because they'll get rolled. DB is only doing this to be connected and will try to create political power as a rival force/counter to NPO. RnR has never been good, and has always been the most lacking even in the Spectrum bullying arrgh wars. And RUM is just the smarter section of Ragnarok, so the fact that they did this is appalling. All this is going to do is push HS and Ragnarok to NPO's side.

    Coming from the guy who left the game, of course.... such great insightfrom the guy who only knows how to lose wars, haha...

    Hey kastor, dont forget your dignity on the way out

    Good luck with your new system.

     

    Any reasons you changed the name by the way?

    Because Masonia is a shit name

     

    Dylan, I and Nicole founded Vox Populi, not Masonia. And we would like to keep it that way
