There isn't a single RAM player that's insulted Noob. There are a ton of RAM players that have simply informed you as to facts about the great and mighty Noob....
An elementary understanding of language is all that is needed to know this statement is a fallacy. Even if there wasn't someone insulting noob up until that point you did it with sarcasm in the very next sentence. Trying to avoid this by saying you were being honest would be a direct lie given the tone of all your posts to date and the later tone of this one.
as far as I can see Jimmy and the others simply stated their opinions that he's a baby, and a coward for abandoning his tribe mates...
More insults. Insults are of course opinions but the 2 are not separable into different categories.
Noobaxes did not abandon his tribe nor is he the most arrogant player on world 30 as stated earlier by some idiot (thats an insult) :icon_wink:
When my former tribe BD's counsel started making decisions based upon what their interests were in relation to the world and those interests conflicted with mine (and I was not a member of the counsel), then I adopted a policy of non compliance in most matters and a rallying of the the minority of members who were opposed to the decisions being made. The outcome was a little different in that the entirety of the counsel quit playing the game for various reasons proposed by them. So an 8 million point player can cause significant damage to a tribe when they create civil strife among the players. A very good reason for any counsel to listen to their players who are discontent.
If you don't like the rules and regulations of the country you live in, you move country. It is no different with a tribe. If you cannot make the changes from within that you desire then you can either suffer in silence or move. Nobody would accuse a person moving country of abandoning their country and to make such a claim in relation to the game tribal wars shows the emotional instability of anyone claiming that making a change for the good of oneself is abandonment. Any player stating this is simply bitter due the loss of control. Elementary psychology when looking at the facts as presented shows this fundamental control disorder for what it is in a verbal capacity. An emotionally mature person would consider the choice of the player leaving to be theirs without labelling it as abandonment. That is a very emotionally charged allegation from the side of the accuser.
Noobaxes stated earlier that he was threatened by Cshipley. Then a post was also made by mberns to noobaxes saying that if Noob "felt threatened" by the cshipley... This is a prime example of deliberately taking something out of context. Being threatened and feeling threatened are 2 entirely different concepts. Mberns takes one thing stated by Noobaxes and tries to turn it into something else by attaching an emotionally laden word (felt), to the word "threatened" to give Noobaxes own statement an entirely different outlook. This was done cynically and very early on so as to give mberns the ability to drag in feelings in relations to the threat if required and also to undermine Noobaxes as a player given that feelings in relation to threats are commonly regarded as a sign of weakness.
Mberns, I do not know you. I don't believe we have ever spoken. Having analysed this thread in full it is clear to me that if the content of your public statements is akin in anyway to your mentality when running the tribe, then you are an unfit leader. What your posts actually state about your character paint a very clear picture of essentially how your operate. There is a dualism present in your linguistics (a few examples above) which includes an inherent and deliberate propaganda type approach. While this is the P&P, you in fact do far more harm and damage to the tribe in the way in which you go about this conversation.
In my professional opinion, you are not a fit, nor a capable speaker. I would strongly suggest that that you either impose a gag order on yourself for the good of your tribe or your (9 man? wtf?) counsel votes to put a perma gag on posting in this thread from a tribe wide perspective. To do anything else would be foolish. Trust me when I say this is sound advice.
