Well, it has been a good break from the externals:
This will be the first, and last time that you hear from the “true” voice behind the player account “Iwilson” on the externals.
I have taken a few weeks off, and in reflection something I intended, was not made clear enough.
‘Iwilson’ is a player account. One of a few that I have used… I used some before, some after I retired this one… The reason I dropped into this world with this account
I intended to be obvious. A little research of the crown on this account would reveal it was won in Olympia. It was won in the same way you are intending to win this world. Unsuillied and Dothraki came in premade, dominated and pacted and won a land side 7 wonder finish… By the end they had 3 alliances. Was tons of fun! “Iwilson” is NOT on the Hall of Fame list as he missed a phone call when he was suppose to jump in LOL. Which is IRONICALLY funny… its satire. The whole Hall of Fame argument “iwilson” has been making… yet “he” missed it LOL. So if someone looked up this crown they would see it appears to be a “feeders crown” - which if brought up to “iwilson” would have a rousing story about betrayal and regret (all made up btw), and a new life mission to protect under educated gerpos from this same ill fate…
If that is still not clear enough
Let me make something abundantly clear:
Iwilson is a
character in this world playing a grumpy old man / gerpovet, who missed the Hall of Fame and who dropped into this world to keep others from the same sad fate, rallying those around a common goal of desperation! LOL LOL He makes absurd claims, ridiculous arguments, all the while shifting numbers to “prove” his point. He can luck his way into an argument accidentally from time to time as “old men do”. He is the old man at the coffee shop, angry at the world for changing and looks for the cloud on a sunny day. We all know the type… (Al, your type - again
IRONY) And he has every intention of stirring a hornets nest that is drawing nearer and nearer. Al, I have never interacted with you before but read through the world forums of your “wins” lol!!
Imladrist came closet to “finding me out” with the comments he made, to which
I liked at the time for the added irony of it!
EVEN MORE CLEAR!!!
This game is 100% entertainment for me, and will NEVER go deeper than that. I use my monthly cinema budget for gerpo instead of a 3 hour movie - that is as “real” as this game EVER gets for me. On the externals this account revolves around satire and irony. If you choose to be more invested and put more of “your” voice into your accounts go for it! Whatever makes the game the most enjoyable for you! Some players don’t like the “fake-ness”, tough, I am playing within the confines of the rules. I am sure you are a great person in real life, a spouse, a father, a mother, a grandparent, a co-worker, a son, a daughter, I totally compartmentalize those things for the sake of LIGHT fun.
We are all here for a similar goal, entertainment, we all use fake names for our accounts. I would never and will not break that ‘wall’ and attack the
PERSON behind the ‘Al the Conqueror’ (or any other username). To me, that crosses from entertainment into a weird area that is uncomfortable, and certainly not fun! I shared this though for two reasons:
- Some Players do that, and attack the real life person. Players are banned in every world I have played at some point for this foul.
- Language, when a player account devolves to the level of using crass language or inferences of such types of language it is no longer entertainment… No longer just a game… (angry) cursing is directed at the person behind the screen. It is outlawed for this, among other reasons.
When someone made the choice of expression that was the inference of cursing, the need to step away - found me. Cursing is not gaming language, it is real life language. It adds a seriousness I am simply NOT looking for in a game. And to that point,
if I have said something that stung deeper than just the player account level, and reached into the person behind the account - I will say, truly I am sorry. It was not my intent and I will endeavor to avoid that outcome at all costs moving forward. I never really post in the externals usually reading them is game enough... ours were 100% dead. So... stir stir stir
The player account “Iwilson character” will reengage with “brainless dribbling”, as long as it is clear we are just playing a game… and we share this space together - with some young people!
Iwilson has made so silly arguments are easily debunked and are near worthless, as you guys have done a great job thus far, of locking up this world in a very reasonable manner. It may stay that way- it may not, I still believe there is entertainment value in this world and the externals. PLEASE see the satire/irony and entertainment value with the bantering continuing??? And even if you don’t, tough cookies! LOL
It has not been trash talk from iwilson but rather “trash” talk. Worthless points, and arguments that are trash!! LOL - which has a level of irony that is entertainment for all! Play your game that you are crushing at and we will see if there is a way to make this win tough on you or not…
Some like Imladrist see through the charade, and want no part of it. I don’t know if you all have caught the charade and really don’t care. As lurks pointed out - its entertaining to some - and this is the intent. This game does not get “carried” home with me, it is just a game - an acting outlet. And the third wall was broken… not cool Robert Frost!! And I will again step away if lines are blurred between reality and game.
Jeez that was long...
Where were we? Ah… yes, Iwilson was making a ridiculous refugee claim using weird rules that were googled and really just intending to confusing everything… with the not so secret hopes that it would ostracize and maroon the banned player, forcing him out of this world…as he chose to cross lines the game should not cross.
Iwilson is about to make a playfully retort at the mod, then back to some ridiculously entertaining/exhausting/exacerbating bantering with the other commenters!
