I have to agree on the validd points that Min and sheeps have revealed to us:
1.) First of all, bolo is a game, I feel alot of ppl are tracking away from that idealism, sure there are cases were bugs do obnoxious destruction to the steps of a game, and surely there are some ppl, dialers etc, like lmyself who have a bit of lag from time to time. but all in all we are all out to do one thing,....... have fun, and be entertained by the game itself, if your after sum sorta superiority or dictatorship or power -ego trip. I think u should take up another hobby,
2.) The manners for bolo HAVE gone way downt he tubes, there is no longer any respect for others it seems, this was still an issue before the seperation from what I recognize, so I dont necessarily have a side to stand on as far as no rules vs. rules, however I must admit strongly that I think Min is sorta inevitably correct, rules and regulations do help, do I think banning ppl from irc, for cussing is the answer *shrug* dunno think it may be alil harsh but perhaps in some forms of the way the word was used and if it was directed at someone perhaps, do I think some one should be kicked off the irc channel because the operator felt intimidated or attacked and took the dominating way out to show his power over someone, nah that seems rather harsh too, but some rules keep order.
3.) oh boy this is the killer, sorry if you dislike my opinion here but it really seems valid for this situation, ok here it goes :) .........
People people people, Mines part of the game, blocks part of the game, blocking lgms part of the game, Every opportunity to advance, fluster your opponent mentally or physcially slow him down is all fair tactics, deforesting fair! I think all of u who get mad about these things are kidding yourself if you say you like bolo becuase all these elements are equally there to your use as well, once your opponent has gotten the best of you mentally with these tactics your done, and YES MINES are ment to slow you down hence the word rubble, in which it creates,
I make it a challenge to throw blocks at lgms as there returning to tanks, been sucessful a few times, in other situtaions it backfired my man was shot upon my return of it, everything has a reverse side to it, as soon as you can master the counter moves to these challenges and master them in there selves as well, I feel you will not find half of these things a issue!
In conclusion, as far as the vets leaving and coming, lets face it, the fact that alot of menance and chaos has entered and the respect flew out the door, so didi they, twas a reason I took an absence, and I have returned to more irritation, please ppl try you best to respect others and they will respect u back, and if we all have the same curtesy for one another I think the loss of vets will decrease, and the game will hype up a great deal.
Btw I know that there is a lot of friction and animosity amongst the ops of .us and .com but you all are supposed to be the leaders or the ones to set the example hence the reason u are set in charge, if you cant get along how can u expect the regulars to get along, perhaps its time to make some sorta treaty or some sorta compliance that will be a better example for the rest of the bolo world.
thanks for all of ur time!

P.S. : have a really intriguing skin in the preperation, has taken me lots of time and the direction of sheeps, will hopefully be released this month!!!
