Chess piece nationalism (fanaticism)
« on: July 25, 2018, 05:06:24 AM »
It's as dumb as tribalism.

That's all I have to say about that.

Do you mean "chess piece loyalty"  (side loyalty)?

I thought so..... Just never seen anyone use the word nationalism to describe it before....

One more question, when you say is as dumb as Tribalism, you are using that word regarding "gaming and/or mmog's and sides/squads/clans etc I am assuming

Only wanting to make clear the meaning of the words, since they both are used more in real life matters than in gaming

hey TC hi, was just thinking about you the other day

We all know what he is saying.  People are so loyal to a chess piece that when anyone changes sides to even up the numbers they are greeted with suspicion and outright hostility.

When we were kids on the sports fields we would even the sides up, shirts and skins.  In the World Wide Web of stupidity that concept is null and void and if you put a shirt on you must be a spy!!

It's been so very long ago that the memory is fading, but I remember when the game was about good fights. People switched sides to even out the numbers, people stayed out of fights if their teammates didn't ask for help, etc.

Heya Fess, Hope all is well with you....

I'm afraid those good old days and times went by way of beepers, cassette tapes, 8 tracks times......

Blame it on...... Well you know how it came to this......

No need in me speaking my mind and getting a thread locked


Cheers

:rofl  :rofl  :rofl   Coulnt read the name Icon over that plane on carrier :uhoh but dont need too. CYBRO? Yes, thats his usual crap. Perfect for giving away a CV,if you decide to move it into a dar ring(flashes base) and keeping ENY in play(not all on him,but he is a main factor). Why I wish we could get an Inactivity Nuke to clear rosters from time to time. Its not even that he just goes AFK/doesnt keep up with arena :mad:   Flip a map...Hes first player in usually,see it all the time...by time I get in arena he is taxiing his plane into the trees. Its just  griefing :uhoh kind of thought that was discouraged in Arena :bolt:

We did the same thing in Warbirds.  Nobody was griefed over it.

Just cybro.  I was annoyed that he left his plane parked on the deck of a carrier, rendering it pretty much useless for offense.
