    Quite frankly that is insulting to the members of the twc of which I am one. I have seen just as much immaturity and idiocy in the backroom as in the pit. It is easy to avoid the fools in twc just ignore threads about eastern europe and you are good.

    i didnt mean it to be, but if you look at most users at TWCenter, you will notice what I have described: immaturity. It isn't an insult to many users there, but you have to admit that many are immature children (many are actually children/tweens).\

    I don't wish to turn this into a TWC bash thread, but you must admit what is true.

    Sometimes I forget this is actually a total war forum. I played Empire but that will most likely be my last total war game. I used to be active within the MP community but slipped out of that to. I still stick around here though because I like the people and I like the discussion. It's still the only forum I pretty much check every day. Sure, it's less busy than its used to be but maybe that gives it a more, errrr, homely feel?

    This is exactly why I have hard time leaving this place. I just like Org's "homely feel" as you put it.

    Its amazing how many situations warrant external consulting for teenagers these days. Prussian is simply doing what we all should have done as teenagers: Ask those who have been through it for advice on anything new.

    what about eastern europe......

    i checked out the twc once it looked scary and those damn reputation points annoy me.

    2500 post i had like 12 posts until i realized the tavern existed last year.

    i like the .org because i know almost everyone and i can recognize most people as soon as i see their avatar.

    its nicer and more polite without being juvenile.

    but yeah the homey feel is whats best.

    even though i have to deal with canucks like megas.

    I find that insulting honestly. You're basically implying "Stay away from the threads, they're just a pile of junk" when we are actually discussing something.

    But then again, ignorance is bliss.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    ...by having almost no traffic at all. Is there any mp forum that has no mp clan feuds? This is irrelevant argumentation and it is so because you are not a tw mper.

    The result is just sad, whichever way you look at it, and as i told you then, repeating that line, was beside the point. Its all the more beside the point now that the redoubt is a true ghostown and the strategy/approach didn't work, just as i warned a year ago it wouldn't.

    It may not have, but you can't blame Tosa's decision solely.

    The entire MP community is down. Look at the MP awards this year...I had to nominate Megas...

    pevergreen, please try to make it a habit when you talk about sensitive matters to choose your words carefully. I haven't even mentioned Tosa anywhere, let alone distribute responsibilities to him or anyone else. Also make it a habit to talk about things that you are directly responsible for and knowledgeable about. This is a matter for the staff to think - not for you and me to discuss in the open. If the staff wanted to discuss it in the open they would have certainly already done so, i doubt they need you to defend them and their choices.

    I'm sorry, I got confused when you said:
    and as i told you then, repeating that line, was beside the point. Its all the more beside the point now that the redoubt is a true ghostown and the strategy/approach didn't work, just as i warned a year ago it wouldn't.
    I presumed you were referring to the quote in your post, which is what TosaInu gave. I did then, and I do now, agree with that.

    I also agree that if the staff wanted it out in the open they would have done so. They did not, yet you in this post: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...=1#post2447247 do bring it up.

    You brought up the subject. You also gave your view on the moderators of the N:TW and E:TW sections.

    Nothing wrong with that, but in my opinion (just stressing this is how I read it) you point out how they are lackluster. One could easily, again in my opinion, see that as an accusation. I don't believe anyone will, since you are not that type of member.

    On defending them: I've been against them as much as I've agreed with them. *remembers the Elmo thread*

    edit:

    I wouldn't have any idea. I don't visit any other TW sites but this. I believe its down because I can go into the E:TW multiplayer option and see less games up than if I go into the R:TW lobby and only count vanilla games, no mods...

    pevergreen, i drop the subject here, with you. You take the wrong turn and the wrong tone, probably due to lack of tact and lack of foresight, which are understandable in your age. All of your last post is argument for the sake of arguing. Next time you decide to argue with someone over something, make sure you are responsible for it, and knowledgeable about it. Otherwise your points have little if any relevance, i'm afraid.

    On that occasion your opinions/conclusions were based solely on hearsay and on the thread content - that is to say that you were not in possession of the "full facts" as it were.

    I think TW multiplayer participation at this site is down, but not elsewhere. MP participation may simply be "down" at this site or overall participation at this site may be down. Looking at the figures, I would go for the latter. It's a real pity because this is by far the best TW fansite.

    gollum is right, there is no trouble because there is virtually no traffic. Is this the solution?
