Let me provide a quick analogy as to why this thought needs to be extinguished.
Lets look at the most successful game in the history of man. Chess.
A chess board is a solid piece of wood, the foundation.
The pieces are perfectly distributed on either side. The winner in a game of chess is determined solely by skill, planning and tactics.
Now lets correlate that to Dust.
CCP created the chessboard, Planetary Conquest. Dust 514.
We downloaded our pieces.
Where we messed up was that we, as a community, managed to not evenly distribute the chess pieces.. but in fact we stacked one side with the majority of the queens, bishops and rooks. OOPS! The other side had too many pawns. One side had a very organized King, who planend and had foresite. The other.... well, you know how that story goes.
Who is to blame for this? You cant blame CCP. I have made the mistake of pointing the blame at one person, one organization. Who else was there to point fingers at?
Whatever I have said in the past, trolling, flaming, whatever. Do not let that sway the decision. If you all can make this work, the success will be on your shoulders.. not mine or anyone elses.
Be different, make a change. You may be surprised with the results.
You just compared dust to chess...........I must assume you have never played a game of chess....... |

Chess is Dust 514, then I could see where you are coming from. Instead, what I said in a nutshell .. Chess is like Dust in that.... so on and so forth. I made an analogy (look it up) in hopes to show you that most peoples previous claims were not very well thought out. Nice troll attempt tho. Next.
Ok so u used a simile instead of a metaphor, doesnt change the fact that you compared 2 things that are not similar in any way shape or form. Chess matches are a battle wits. If you think being successful in Dust takes anything more than basic common sense, well, then you are clearly overthinking this whole PC thing.
Or you have never played chess and don't understand that chess is a game of strategy, as I originally suggested. |
