Read the whole thing and got annoyed by the repeated grammar error. Even Suess knew to when to use "nor" in place of "or".

Really?

Are you sure about that Wikked?

Do me a favor then. Click on this link, read the actual book Green eggs and ham, and then tell me exactly how many times Dr. Seuss used the word nor instead of or.

I don't have the story memorized and that link is the one I used for reference so I could stay as close to the linguistic rythm as possible in my parody.

So how many times did he use "nor"?

Oh and no hard feelings.

Dammit. My childhood memories ruined. My teachers always corrected us if you said or instead of nor.

I blame the education system!!! They have made it impossible for me to be a pretend grammar nazi!!!

There there, Wikked. There there.


There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

It's not your fault Wikked. Put the blame where it belongs, on the public school system.

Actually I think you're right in the usage of the words, but I was going by the book itself and not an english text.

The OP had a legitimate concern and suggestion. It may not be the best idea or the most thoroughly thought through, but shooting him down like you all did was lame.

I do think some servers are far too small in population, but there are too many difficulties in taking other servers down.

The OP didn't draw any fire until HE started acting like a jerk in his second post.

And as was pointed out numerous times theres a simple solution to his legitimate concern. He has the choice of playing on a server with a larger population.

I'd have to agree with this logic completely. Nicely done, good sir.

I still think people came in here with an agenda of flaming at the get-go, but that's pure speculation. The problem with joining a hugely populated server is that it's only adding to the overpopulation issue. I wish there was a middle ground we could all find.

I have seen threads remain quite polite despite their being hot topics. Quite recently in fact. However the hostile tone the OP set in this thread only confirmed any assumptions people may have had coming into this thread and then they may have felt justified responding in kind.

Of course there is always a small group that are antagonistic right out of the gate.

Maybe if there was an indication on the login server list that told people that the first server listed was the last one they logged onto and the rest of the servers are listed by population lowest to the highest. Then they could make an informed choice.


(and personally, when I do go out for fast food, I get my fries from McDonalds, my burgers from Burger King, and my chili and milkshakes from Wendy's. All three stores are in the same strip mall near my home.)

Depends on what you consider acceptable middle ground. Infinity and Justice regularly come in third on overall population behind Freedom and Virtue, so that might do for you right there. What you deem 'far too small in population' is also quite a bit and most servers have no problem accomplishing anything and everything in the game.

Some servers you may have to wait a few more minutes or put forth a bit more effort, but there's teams everywhere. A lot of this 'problem' is overblown. Which doesn't become an issue until people come here wanting other servers shut down so they don't have to wait those few minutes or put forth that effort. Of course, merging the servers would drive a lot of people to quit when they lost their names, their SGs, quite possibly many of their characters for those that have many alts... yeah, it's a terrible solution to a problem many players who take the time to use the tools that are out there don't even have.

And for those who for whatever reason must have the high population in order to have a satisfying game experience, there's nothing to stop them from making characters on Freedom or paying to transfer there.

Here, let me give you an illustration straight from the OP:

Wow. I make a suggestion and recieve nothing but bile laced smarmy response. How underwhelming. Hey Im willing to bet you all go nuts whenever someone you see has just got a haircut. Ripe pickings in the land of cool huh?

I understand y'all have 20 50's and can speak COH abbreviation like a military linguistics operator, but being a spazzy tool is hard to hide. Chill out folks. The idea has some merit, and I wouldnt be surprised theres always a long whine fest whenever someone suggests something out of the norm.

[/ QUOTE ]

That ought to explain the general attitude of the thread.

If you did that, then it would be obvious that you were padding, the real trick is to pad but make it look natural.

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly.

[/ QUOTE ]

I concur.

[/ QUOTE ]

Does anyone remember before there was the Forum Games section a weekly thread (on Thursdays I believe) for the PCPA (post count padders anonymous)?

[/ QUOTE ]

I only go to the Forum Games section like twice a year, once is to renew our lease on Golden Ace being on Protector by healing/hurting the servers (which we have won what, 3 years now? more?). Otherwise I don't pretend to pad my post count. I type a LOT already.

And to keep this on topic.
