I do everything for a carefully thought out purposes. The end purpose of this is improved gameplay for everyone, you'll just have to trust me.
What is happening now in Bishland is what happened in Rookland under similiar circumstances 3 years ago, the wheat is being seperated from the chaff, what I do fascilitates this. What will be left is all of the best of Bish, a core, a nucleus to rebuild a stronger, better, more unified country around, one invigorated with a currently lacking sense of self-respect and pride. It's a Baptism of fire than will serve to galvanize the will and resolve of a hitherto weak and pliable, quivering mass of jell-o that is currently Bishland.
You're kidding, right? You really believe that what you write here or what you may say in game has the amount of impact you're claiming?
Level of impact aside, what you seem to be doing is ticking people off. That doesn't make them play "with heart". That makes them play angry. Angry people are much more prone to moaning and whining. Their frustration level is high and their skill set lowered by the anger. Additionally, angry people don’t learn very well. They have a tendency to fly around bumping into things. Angry people beget other angry people by saying and behaving in antisocial ways.
This is not a positive motivator. It's not a motivator at all. You're just ticking people off for the fun of it and trying to pass it off as an intelligent approach designed to improve the game. You decrease the game in both short and long term view.
This is not psychology, it's just mean. For your sake as well as ours, take another approach.
