what is this conversation about again...
... oh its about Trench Wars being a better zone then all others!

What are the arguments?

1. Trench Wars has the best staff ever!
(as any self respecting expnasionistic empire)

2. "Trench Wars is subspace"
(by stealing ideas from every zone and maitaining dozens of unrelated sub-arenas!)

3. Trench Wars has the best automation in subspace!
(not to mention Priitk & Co and all that donation money from the newbies)

MAGNIFICENT! Hey, how about I go to Trench Wars right now and try it out. I should have some JOLLY GOOD TIME since you are saying its so great!

*leaves*
*come backs after one minute*

Now I remember, Trench Wars has no gameplay worth mentioning!
The instant-kill and flight settings are completely unbalanced and retarded.
The teamwork is simplistic at best

I would rather hammer down nails into my hand then play it!

Sub arenas?
Why would I go play a gimped stolen game in a sub-arena and support this imperialist death zone when I can go play the real thing?!

Lets all have a moment of silence in memory of all the pour souls forever lost in the trenches.



But I forgot to answer the most important question of that thread.
Why is Trench Wars really that populated?

The answer is quite obvious if you compare Subspace to the Music world.

Why is Pop music so Popular? Why do millions of people listen to near-crap music?

Why don't they pick up a Led Zeppelin album or listen to those blues recordings of Jimmy Hendrix? Why don't they have Santana on the list of their favorite bands?
Why don't most of those millions understand the importance of Jazz, Classical and Opera? Why do they have a hard time listening to it?

They will eventualy, as they grow up and increase their intellect.

No one (not in the SS community or in TW) really cares why TW is popular. It is popular because it's easy to pick up and have fun. There are events in other zones and TW is no different but because of our population and the population of devlopers and staffers, it makes sense to devlope new ideas when we have the room and want from the general populas of TW. The SVS kids can find more content for their aging zone. (come on guys, drop the idea that for every 50 kinds of game play we have to dedicate a zone to each experience. It's not economical or sensible in this kind of game.) We're not "stealing" players with our sub arenas or league systems, people (as in NEW people to the game, not svs players) want things simpler so they've choosen a zone which can do that for them. If the SVS sysops are not willing to change then they've killed themselves already, no need to argue with them.

Subspace is Subspace, the whole freaking idea of changing and customizing your settings and making new zones was on the fucking box FFS.

Edit: Also, I've never played SVS settings, never bothered to be involved with the community dominated by those people because they're very hostile to anything outside of their kind of game play. Being in that position I can not anaylze or come to simple conclusions that this person Tenet has about our own game. Before you want to bash a successful and prosperous zone Tenet, go play it. I don't mean pub for 5 mins or elim, just go play some of the arenas. Go beyond being a pub newbie, because this zone is much more then random killing. Until you can become part the TW community and have played this zone for a while, then I wouldn't even begin to anaylze this zone or its effect on Subspace. You're only a mindless drone of SVS, nothing more. Go play your dying game.

I'd play other zones if the zones wouldn't be this isolated.
if pressing esc+a would give a hierarchical view with all the zones and I could jump from any arena in any zone to some other, I just might.

It's fun

[cundor]

People like me take this game to a higher level

[Torn Wing]

Ive played other zones, but they just get boring after about a week.

true, same here

Obsessive compulsive...Just plain ol' jelous of tw.

[Chelski]

Well to me, Trench Wars is the best zone I can find. Other zones are so much less populated and seriously I can faint while trying to hunt someone in those terribly confusing maps. If you don't like Trench Wars, simply shut up and play other zones. No point complaining, isn't it?

[Edify]

problem with other zones is they can pick u out as new (not newBIE, new to the zone). then they ask what zone are u from. if u say tw they almost always get extremely pissed off and tell u to gtfo. well, me anyways. :up:

[Verthanthi]

Why don't they have Santana on the list of their favorite bands?

Because he isn't in anyway interesting.

I'm banned and I'm not Pollux.

[schope]

well if tw is so easy and teamwork so simple

prove that to us,

bring your friends from other zones, make a squad and get #1 at any twd ladder.

Not asking you to win twl.

You whine cause you just cant do well on tw and prolly your zone is empty with 2 or 3 newbies fighting each other just after safe warping.
