Distension before TWL?

[kthx]

Hope you have some server Viagra flabby, from what I have seen Distension causes about as much down time as Dick Cheney thinking about banging his wife.

[kthx]

Can I get a Heyyooo?

its never too late to implement a system to force interests upon the growing dist pop. dist league basing everybody gets a r20. the current status is unkempt. many people are being converted to an 'abyss'. but its a frontier, and that's better than digging a hole and burying your head. think of it this way - mainliner, thunder, and disoblige are the only twlb squads that matter. the rest are in it for show, and for what its worth, the pressure of it not being just practice, but practice nonetheless, as they have no chance to win. if dist was turned 24/7 into a ?go base, and all sorts of crap adjusted to promote precedented trench wars events, would there be any arguments? i find it amusing that the people with such regard for twl seem so afraid that something new might just take away from their precious efforts. hour for hour i'd say the 3 month disters are better at basing than those very vets could ever have hoped in the timescale. fear change bitches.

what do you mean?

you mean that if there was an event that promoted TWL as it is currently we wouldnt like it?

bologna!

if there was a newfangled event that directly led into TWL we would all be behind it 100%. what do you mean we would be against it?

we are against this because it has nothing to do with TWL and will only take intrest away from it

edit: well this is for me.. i use 'we' loosely. this also ignores all the bugginess and crap. yeah that blows, but it can be fixed

[kthx]

LOL thats a great idea Codeman

lets make a Distension basing league, and a Distension Warbird league, and a distension javelin league, and a distension pubbing arena, and then we can change TWL to rank 20 of each ship which are regular TW settings I guess?

BUT THEN IT ISN'T TRENCHWARS ANYMORE IT IS DISTENSION WARS.. THOSE ARE ALL GREAT IDEAS FOR A DISTENSION ZONE.

[Vehicle]

Rabble rabble rabble, bitch bitch moan moan. You guys make the same 3 points over and over and over and over again.

Here’s what you’ve all been saying:
-Distension keeps recycling/fucking up the servers, fuck it
-Distension requires no skill
-TWL is the shit and distension players need to fuck off
-Distension players are newbies
-Distension is killing TW because it’s too hard to learn
-Distension is a faggity game for people with too much free time (some would say the same about Subspace)

I get it. You’ve made these points consistently over the past 3 pages as well as the other 3 threads. You can all stop beating an already dead horse for fucks sake. Please.

Distension is fucking up the servers, but you guys won the ‘no distension before TWL’ battle, so can you stop complaining? Before you say ‘no I can’t stop complaining because I want distension gone,’ it isn’t leaving. Sorry. There are too many people who enjoy it for the upper staff to just pull the plug.

Most distension players are newbies, this is true. What I don’t understand, why is this a bad thing? Everyone’s crying their poor little eyes out that the zone is dying blah blah blah, and something comes along that has a clear attraction for newbies and you all immediately start flipping a shit? I’ve got a glass of water, would you all like to drill a whole in the bottom of it for me?

TWL is the centerpiece of the zone. Anyone who argues otherwise is a dumb fuck. Distension isn’t taking over TWL, in fact concessions were made specifically so that you have all of the time before TWL on weekends to yourselves. So what are you still bitching about?

Honestly, at this point I’m just fed up. You guys do nothing but bitch bitch bitch. I understand, your TWD games got fucked up, OMG forums got shut down how sad, and the server is needlessly laggy and unstable. All of these are fair enough grievances that you’ve made over and over again, I get it and I think everyone else does too.

You all are just so caught up in your own tired bullshit to step away and realize that Distension doesn’t have to be bad for the zone and it might have something to do with a total lack of organizational prowess on the part of the people running it that is fucking it up so bad for you.

So in summation, please stop repeating the talking points Wark emailed to you over and over again because I’m about to shove a metal rod through my urethra. If you come up with any NEW complaints, make them, but until then SHUT THE FUCK UP.

I admit, this rant is a little more aggressive and not nearly as middle of the fence as I’ve tried to be about the distension issue, but I’m just pissed at this point because I can’t even play the damn game anymore because of the new schedule/all of your complaining and you guys are still bitching. Who the fuck logs on between 12-2AM and 5-7PM EST anyway?

the 'big picture' for all the twl-buffs is that dist isnt league enough. im sure the design of upgs and specializations, with a bit of a limitation for an occasion could work out to inspire many of these new eager heads to the precedented leagues in due time. the blueprints are scoffed at until the building attracts tourism, and from that a cascade of stfuing. Reality being a contention between dedications is pitiful. the same boat here is trench wars capture the flag. the exclusiveness will only be permanent if the stagnancy-seekers get their wish, their banishments. anyways, try using a r20 jav in dist, its actually fun as fuck. the shits not as different as you'd all like to argue it is. (aquatic,etc others) are getting their javelin practice in. and whether soloing in go javs or relying on 4 people to sign on her squad worked before, there's still evidence she's having more fun and more practice than the precedent. if only out of spite, i wouldnt mind too terribly if the repercussions were entirely new Dist-only squads that bump others from future TWL lists. i scoff at the prejudices of you old farts.

and crashes the zone and causes lag

like i said, im confident that with enough testing, the bugs can get removed. im not even using that as an argument anymore. it got out from infront of TWL on sundays, so its a bit more of a moot point.

now, as a bitch in general, i like to browse the forums when im at work (like now) and it sucks when the entire server goes down. but aside from the nearly 2 hours it was out yesterday (that i noticed), not a big deal

vehicle, you made some good points.

there is a right way to go about hosting it and a wrong way.

i actually would like to see distension become a focal point of the zone but on a cyclical scheme. give the population of TW one main thing to do at a time. i think that is the way to promote longevity of the zone in general while keeping TWL the main focus (this is what i am for)

[Vehicle]

In response to you Wark:

I, and every other god damn person, understands why you don’t like distension. You’ve said the same thing over and over again for the better part of December and your point has been hammered home. What new complaints have you had aside from the ‘no distension before TWL’ thing? Which I agree with you about.

Why does it matter that Distension doesn’t have settings identical to TWL? If these people don’t want to play TWL, they aren’t going to. The way I see it is that you guys are upset that newbies come to the zone and were often ending up in Distension after a few months of play, thereby lowering the number of TWD-material players. Sucks to BU (that’s a Beanpot joke for those of you from Boston).

Do you genuinely believe that Qan is not trying to get the shit straightened out as per the server issues? Obviously he’s trying to fix the problem(s) so I really don’t see how this is an issue at all. Especially considering there won’t be any Distension before the evening hours on the weekends, thereby keeping your TWL safe.

You know what, I’m just going to stop here. We will never agree, partly because you’re too egotistical, shifty, and thick skulled to ever concede a point.

What I will close with is this: I think you know what you’re doing Wark. The louder you bitch, and the more people you bitch at, the more likely you are to get your way. We’ve all seen it before and it’s sad that people still listen to a damn thing you have to say. (With the exception of HoN, you can write those pretty well).

[kthx]

People generally listen to experienced players who have been involved in the building of, expansion of, betterment of the game they are playing in. It doesn't matter how how I am complaining because even if I say the same seven things over and over again, you are doing the exactly same thing saying the same seven things over and over about distension.

Besides I ended up being right, it is completely insane to really be pissed at me for making this thread when sure enough what I said could and would happen, did happen, and if it had happened on Sunday then I guarantee there would be more than the 7-9 people on the forums with me on the forums agreeing with me.

Because I do know so much about this zone from my time on staff, my time as a player, and many years of playing it isn't odd that a lot of people voice the same opinions as me, and think similar to me when it comes to the running of this game.

[Codeman!]

on a final note, there's a stronger sense of comradery among the dist brotherhood than tw has ever seen. we may hate each other while the teams are imbalanced, but when we come back the next evening and those people are helping to win, it really works wonders. after a while you know youve killed everybody and theyve all killed you. and we're talking about 100+ people, who've spent hours teaming together. i suppose an underlying issue is that the leagues are intrinsically exclusive. they rely on very small groups of people, if not 1 or 2 to get the wins. thats sad, and honestly, would be better if those people had their own damn mini-zone. disters are a fellowship, and a progressive one with valiant leaders, vets who arent converted but truely thriving from the inspired/inspiring essence of it(simultaneously enjoying the leagues if theyre relied on). these same vets are 8/10ths as good as the twl wilt chamberlains. but fuck it not all of us are asians with stable 300ms or 6 and a half foot africans. the collective unit here finds the arguments immature, and 95% of us haven't bothered to bitch back. proves that we dont waste our time as efficiently. we consume it with goal orientation, and sparingly like true warriors. we're the 300, and twlers are the wannabe persian army. unfortunately their forces are ignorable, and their leaders pompous. plus how can you guys hate on HMS he sounds like spongebob squarepants. trampling the fields around us wont do shit when we've got the goats trail precipice.

[kthx]

Oh and just to add on to this, TW already has a Distension, its called reputation, knowledge, and skill.

I just gained 500 rp by being correct on this issue and you and HMS lost 500 rp.

Maybe things like this is why people agree with me on the forums over you.
