I'm not defending the toxic community nor am I trying to distract from anything with my "fallacy of informal logic". I'm merely stating that pay to win is an issue too.
It was the way you said it.
Most of the negative reviews I've seen are about the game being pay to win.
Instead of acknowledging my point, I.E., that 40% were about the toxic community, and pointing out that the majority theme of the negative comments was pay to win, it would not have been taken as a distraction, but an elaboration and highlight of my failure to include them in the topic.
Instead, you simply brought up an additional point, as if the original point was moot. That is the definition of a red herring fallacy.
Fallacies of logic are not generally conscious processes. I didn't intend to ignore 60% of the negative comments with my OP, but I did, and I shouldn't have. Maybe you didn't intend to try and defend the toxic community with a fallacy, but you did.
Why is he so far from the newbie zone? His nation is basically as far north and east as possible. The whole reason for the zone is exactly so that veteran players cannot attack new players. I'm not going to try to justify anyone's actions, but he willfully left the protected area. He can always move back into the protected area but has chosen not to. Obviously, using a such a large legacy advantage is
Now you are blaming the victim. You sound like the Republicans in the Senate judiciary. This is also a red herring. How he got there is irrelevant. What the pinheads did to him is the point.
He is the exact profile of the kind of player we want here. He had 2 nations in the midlands in less than 6 days. He plays hard and is happy to pay for games he enjoys. He told me he was forced to keep moving because of how fast he was leveling. Why he went north I don't know. But when he did, pinheads made the game no fun anymore!
Okay, but I still merely stated a fact and then you attacked me for it by throwing out fallacy at every opportunity.
The veracity of your statement has no bearing on whether not it is a logical fallacy. I am not just throwing out the term. I am also explaining WHY it is a fallacy of informal logic. And I didn't attack you. I simply pointed out that your statement is a logical fallacy. Specifically a red herring fallacy. That you perceived it as an attack is a matter of perception, not reality.
Why are you throwing out "you pinheads" in a topic where they haven't even posted?
Because the pinheads are the primary topic I care about. I blame them, (not these one specifically but WOC pinheads in general) for the locking down of the old WOC map by a few veteran teams planting orbs, res, and mains and running 365 days a year, as the primary reason the old game died. They are repeating the same mistake here.
It just makes you look like you're trying to provoke a response which like trolling, you know, toxic? It's literally the entire reason you're still using this forum based on your older posts. If being on a forum just to try to annoy specific players isn't toxic I don't know what is.
Nice way to turn that around. FYI, I don't care about your perception me.
I was run off the server and warned to stay off the forums.
Are you saying I should follow the orders of the pinheads?
I can't play, but I can still help with the community. And I DO want the game to be successful, even though I am not allowed to play.
As to the pinheads, if they want me to stop calling them pinheads, they have to stop acting like pinheads. Last I checked, hell is still blazing hot, so little chance of that happening. In the meantime, I can offer my perspective here, and hope they don't like it.
