Because of some general grumpiness from some in the masses I've made the entropiarelated blog go back in to private mode and am restarting the original entropiatrash blog with a new focus that's not quite as negative and critical of certain individuals, but still aims for some of the same past goals... Some older articles previously posted may end up there again with some major revisions, but only time will tell. If anyone here in the community at entropiaplanets would like to help since it's just a part time project that I don't have a lot of time to dedicate too, let me know and I'll see about possibly allowing co-authorship on it going forward, etc.
The good old discussion about people that (still) post the truth about Entropia and are not welcome therfor. What is the difference between Hardwraths fanboy slipslop and my illustration about all the lies and broken promises ? I dont want his account to be liquidated, but he probably wishes that mine will get deleted asap. Dont just password protect your blog, because one single individual has another opinion.
History teaches us how not to fail again. That depends if you know the history and you heed it well. Time will tell if MA looks back says, "let's not do that again"
McCormick, it's quite a stretch to call me a "fanboy" especially after my recent outburst about Melee Amps. Please find an example of when a MindArk or Calypso employee actually locked a thread like this. I went back 6 years and couldn't find it. In that one sub forum on PCF Kim has Mod ability. The factual reality is that some people enjoy playing EU as it is. Others like me are ok with most things in EU, but want to see changes, so we try to be constructive... And then others, such as yourself and Mastermesh who don't play the game at all, at least not in any quantifiable or meaningful way, but for whatever reason you spend endless hours of your lives posting and trolling Entropia related websites. What is the point? Do you not have anything better to do with your life? Over the last 9 years I've enjoyed watching a lot your videos and seeing some of your posts but it gets really old. People get sick of seeing you post the same old stuff, complaining that MindArk is trying to make a profit and lashing out at anyone who actually likes the game. You used to get a lot of positive attention from those funny videos... So is that why you are here, endlessly ragging on EU, because you need attention? Back on topic.... Mastermesh, what exactly is the point of that stupid blog? Is it also so you can get attention for yourself? After all, that's what most blogs are for.
Just because people don't play the game "your way" does not mean they are not playing it in a meaningful way. As far as the point of the blog goes, read the About page... The 'hidden truths' behind the scenes is why the blog originally was created... For a couple of years you yourself were not playing the game at all while folks such as myself were still logging in regularly... In what meaningful and constructive way were you contributing to the game when you ran off with all those peds that others lent to you to trade with in game when you logged out for about a year? It was nice that you gave back most of it eventually.... but scammy actions like that is exactly why there needs to be more blogs like entropiatrash. The community, and general population needs to know that that type of thing is going on, and proceed cautiously. The general population won't know about that type of stuff if no one tells them about it. You yourself know that forum mods on pcf can be a bit overbearing since mods over there lock threads like your recent thread about killstealing. To bypass that type of overmoderation blogs fill a nice little niche.
What exactly is it that you log on to do because in the entire history of EntropiaLife, you don't have a single global. Do you just check CLD payments? One would think that if you actually do play, or invest somehow then you wouldn't spend so much time trashing the game and spreading unfounded, inaccurate, and slanderous rumors about Entropia's players and the game itself. You at one point had all of my real life information posted on your little blog at a time where I was working at a job on a Federal Contract that involved me personally getting death threats and terroristic threats on a daily basis due to the nature of my job. Only did you take it down after I messaged you with that information and threatened legal action if you didn't take it down. And for what??? What possibly could be worth risking my life all so you could get hits in your blog when people Googled my real life name?? It's all because back in 2005 and early 2006 when I used more than one avatar WHEN IT WAS ALLOWED BY THE GAME DEVELOPERS but stopped when they changed their policy!!! Never did I hide the fact that it was an alt avatar, especially since I used the HardWrath name in it. You blog about this as if it's some nefarious thing I did and you present it as if it was some big secret... Nevermind the fact that from the onset I told everyone everywhere that the purpose of Hard X Wrath was as a safeguard and for administrative purposes in a subsidiary society that we decided to create. No one form the top society wanted to run the new noob society so I ran them both for a couple of months until I could find trustworthy, dedicated, and dependable people to fill that spot. And then some time later when I had to leave EU for an extended period but was unable to find anyone who was willing to run that group of societies I trusted my avatar to my best and most trusted friend in game for a limited time. I even announced it to everyone that he would be logging into my avatar during that time. The whole reason he couldn't just use his avatar was because he was already the General of one of the subsidiary societies and also because his avatar lacked the skills for the top society which was/is on the top50 most skilled society list. But you use that as some kind of evidence that I'm running multiple avatars and doing scandalous things with them. For these things you have spent YEARS OF YOUR LIFE trying to vilify me across the forums and on your retarded blog. You can't even get simple facts strait about me and about others. In one case that I know of, on your blog you mistook the identity of someone and erroneously accused him of scamming and stealing. Then when his real life business partner saw what you had posted about him, it almost caused his company to crumble. You almost destroyed that man's life all because you can't get your facts strait. He had to have his attorney send you a letter demanding that you cease and desist. You are so eager to post any rumor about anyone that you hear, regardless of how malicious it is, regardless of facts, without proof, and without common sense, all so you can have a few more hits on your blog and a little bit of attention for yourself. It's beyond being wreckless and irresponsible. Frankly, it's pathetic. You disgust me.
I am hardly the person who screams the loudest about rule violations. There are a few things I care about: scamming, exploiting, and continuous harassment. So those are the types of people who you like to defend? It seems like it is. And I know who those people are too. Certain types always seem to gravitate to the EU forum with the most relaxed rules and over the last 10 years I am proud to say that I've managed to piss off that group of people probably more than anyone else in EU. Unlike some weak minded sycophantic individuals around here, I won't quake and bow down to forum trolls, or anyone for that matter. I'll continue to speak my mind and defend those who I care about. Why? Because that's what I do. And if you have something to say about me, please feel free, because over and over through all the years of explaining and defending myself in the forums I always seem to come out on top. The reason for that is because people like you, who like to throw stones and put people down just to make yourself feel good, continuously fail to put together a coherent argument, especially one that's factual and substantive.
actually it was in the wrong place it was meant for the other thread which you found. ;) It's actually a bit of an amusing story how that happened ...but I wouldn't waste any amusing story on you. :)
Well which is it? I'm not worth arguing with or it's in the other thread that you also are trolling? This sounds more like the incoherent rambling a of a person who doesn't play the game anymore. I noticed on EntropiaLife your global history stopped in early 2013 but it seems that your posts have not stopped. What is the point of continuously posting in forums for video games that you apparently don't play anymore? Maybe it's time to move on with your life?
And in case you didn't figure it out on your own, that was part of the underlying point that I was trying to make when I asked you why you post in forums for video games that you don't even play. Now that you have clarified what you are doing while here, why not also explain the logic of spending any time whatsoever posting in game forums of games that you don't even play. Isn't it a complete waste of your time? Furthermore isn't it a complete waste of energy trolling my posts, trying to invalidate my opinions, and attempting to vilify me when in fact I've never actually wronged you in any way whatsoever? Is playing the keyboard commando, putting others down, your way of making yourself feel good or is it just a cry for attention? Do you really not have anything better to do with your life?
I started reading your post, HardWrath, really, but it is not worth the time. (to me) Its the same stuff as always. "MA is not that bad, stop complaining, why are you even here, leave the game if you dont like it etc." You say my videos and me were funny in the past, but not anymore ? Fine, Im ok with that. You say because I dont play anymore, it does not justify my critics ? You say Im getting repetetive ? I say you became repetetive. And so on. Feel free to ignore me, such discussions lead nowhere. I tried to leave, I never really left. I played less since 1 year and made some kind of pause, for about 5 months now. A pause, people usually suggest you to do. To be honest, I came back early, because Wistrel informed me about the "return of taming". *yay* I logged in for the 1st time again and what did I discover ? A complete overkill-social-interface, just like in a wizard+EVE Online MMO. The same glitches (using high end PC). The same bugged items like 1 year (5 years) ago. A flashing global window, where the text goes off the edge. Missing teleporters I have to fly to, for the hundreds time, becasue MA wants it this way. The servers feel empty. I mean, its friday night. Probably because the 12.000 active gamers are spread all around the universe, eh ? -_- Or arent we even 12k anymore ? Or are we 1 mio concurrent users already ? How man (fake/double/triple) accounts are there by now ? I know, noone knows. I can be mentored again...wtf ? Why would that be even possible ? And usually one gets a "hunter armor part" as reward ? ...and Im just online for about 10 minutes. This must be Entropia...see ya around.
It's not worth the time to read what I said yet it is worth your time to make a lengthy reply? This to me sounds more like a guy who is scrambling around trying to find a rock to throw but is coming up empty handed. If you actually take the time to read what I'm saying then you would know what I'm saying. So if you are going to take the time to reply, doesn't reading what I post sound a little more intelligent than making assumptions about what I post? For example: Fanboy slipslop? Unlike some people who troll everything, bash everything, are critical of everything, I'm perfectly capable of sharply skewering MindArk in one thread and then simultaneously in another thread defending them on a different topic. I'm also perfectly capable of doing the same of the forum mods as well as other players and I've certainly had my share of temp bans whenever I go too far. The difference is that I generally have construction intentions behind what I say. The word fanboy gets tossed around in this forum way too much. A true fanboy would blindly and thoughtlessly defend every single action of MindArk, just like a forum troll will blindly and thoughtlessly be hyper critical of everything MindArk says and does. I believe that when a person complains about everything all of the time they eventually lose credibility with the people who they want to convince the most such as the Devs. So before you continue trying to label me as a fanboy please take the time to read the following thread: http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?263009-Where-Are-Melee-Amps-! I challenge you to find another example of when a MA employee closed a thread against the wishes of the person who created the thread. Meanwhile, while that thread was active, I also was posting heavily in this thread defending MA: http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?263048-MA-employee-avatar-name-list So don't lump me in one category or another, I'm simply a guy who speaks his mind, nothing more. You can agree with me or disagree, I don't care, I really don't... and for the ones who want to throw stones at me for pure sport and fun, well you can kiss both sides of my ass because ill just put your opinion in a big pile of other useless shit that I don't care about.
One example that comes to mind is http://www.entropiaforum.com/forum/...not-participate-what-level-9.html#post2574483
I have my opinion about this universe. You have yours. You wont change mine. I wont change yours. Promised.
