    Default Re: A Terrible Realization

    I prefer to treat it as an investment. It's like before you invest in a company all you have are the words of others and their own reports to inform you. And based on that you invest. You can't say 'I want dividends before I invest.' If you want something out of it, put something into it I say.

    If you didn't like RTW, then leave this forum and don't ever come back, because you obviously don't belong here. This forum is for those who love RTW, and love playing it for the experience it gives, despite all our grousing about its flaws and its shortcomings. We love it despite its problems and we give voice to that here, and try to make it better with mods and patches and fixes and suggestions.

    Why bother telling us you want to get a pirated BI to try it out before you get it? Firstly, you weren't even asking our opinion. You just 'thought you'd share that.' Like we wanted to know. This is the Colosseum, for RTW discussion. DISCUSSION, man. Not to just say something random (or not) and drop it. At least when we make statements like that we end it with 'what are your views?' What kind of arrogant, pointless---the less said, the better.

    Secondly, what makes you think that we'd support your advocation of piracy? The fact that some people have mentioned this is against Org policy should be enough. And looking at your number of posts, which is already respectable, and your join date, which is ancient, you should be enough of a veteran on this site to know that this is openly against the rules, however you try to defend yourself.

    This thread is completely pointless, and anyway it already violates rules by the advocation of piracy in the very FIRST post. My thread on the crazy things we do for RTW (because we -LOVE- RTW) was closed for less. So I don't see why your thread should continue its existence when firstly you are advocating an illegal act that is obviously against the rules of the forum, and secondly you fundamentally do not fulfil the criterion of people who should be members of this forum, and therefore have no reason to be here. If you hate RTW, go start a hate-RTW forum, and don't voice it here among a community that will support RTW and will not make unconsidered comments like the ones you just made but will simply vote with their wallets. If you don't like it, then just don't buy it.

    Moderators, I wish to table a motion to close this thread. My thread a few months ago, when I was just a newcomer, was closed just for mentioning that I played a pirated RTW because I was saving up for the original version. As I recall the last post went something like 'piracy, however justified, is wrong.' Well, apply it here. In fact, someone already has. I hardly think it consistent behaviour on your part that you let this thread go on for so long despite its initial advocation of piracy.
