Thanks for posting your thought legochild. Your tone isn't negative. I appreciate that a lot.
I disagree however that all this kindness is only from war, and that the reason for this game is only about war.
The name Tribal Wars does have the word war in it, and it does indicate and mean to many extents fighting and wars between players. That there I completely agree with you.
A game about war however doesn't mean there can't be positive things and nice ways to do things. Yes, war definitely means you can't be nice in the 'peaceful' way we all know it, but that doesn't mean the way you conduct yourself and talk to others has to be mean, does it? So because Tribal Wars has the word 'War' in it, everyone in this game therefore has to be mean, only think for themselves, and be nasty and cruel and insulting and negative?
If that is the case your thinking, then I disagree, and I fully don't believe that. Being nice and being able to speak with respect and cheer to another player isn't influenced by the fact the game is or is not centered about war, it's about how you want to go about playing the game.
I think your point about tribemates and allies has a fair bit of truth in it too. In this game, you basically help a tribe or ally because they are at war with someone. You help people by sending resources, or troops, why would you do that if there wasn't someone they were at war with or attacking them? No reason, so there you are quite correct mate, no disagreements there.
I could add though that you also help your allies and comrades not only because they are at war with someone, but because they ARE your allies and comrades, and you therefore want to do the good thing and help them attack the tribe and people they are war with. Is this not correct?
So let me ask the final question for this post, because this game is about war, that means there can be no, as you and many others say, 'no kindness' of any kind of any level. This is what you believe?
