View Full Version : wipe the forums
i feel in order to attract more players to the forums we must make a clean wipe to level the playing field. hackers like visage cannot be caught. after the wipe i propose rnf posts count for 2 to encourage more pvp. guineapig should be tarred and feathered, japan and 4meal freed, and purist appointed high chancellor
i enjoy playing rnf but after the recent uthgaard meltdown im likely to stay here for awhile regardless
wipe it clean

Yup. It would be the first smart step in actually rebuilding the community atmosphere we once had.
RnF has just become an echo chamber. It's like the Fox News of P99 forums.

This would be like eliminating trash cans from a stadium. Everyone (not just jerks) would then throw their crap all over the place as opposed to mostly in the designated receptacle. RnF serves the purpose (mostly) of keeping the crap in a specific area as opposed to all over the place.
And most major news outlets aren't much better, if at all, than Fox News.

Your intellectual contribution to this thread is noted

Major? Yes. There are some great news outlets though:
NPR is pretty non biased, they have a liberal undertone but the reporting is awesome.
al jazeera is great for things most American outlets won't/can't report on
Democracy Now is definitely left leaning but they report on things no one else will period.

Yeah, NPR's actual reporting is pretty faultless - but the things they choose to report on generally bug me. They can be fairly irrelevant.
I use Fox News the way I use a whole host of outlets - You can use many of them to create kind of a composite view of some political issue. Fox has a few decent interviewers, and even though I disagree with him a lot, Krauthammer is enjoyable to listen to.
Al-Jazeera is one of the worst for inherent bias, but I do enjoy some of the things they choose to cover, so I def agree there :)
I just have trouble listening to people who say "Fox News sucks anyone who watches them or reads their website is automatically an idiot"... I've evaluated their reporting alongside cbs/abc/etc for some time, and It's usually about the same.
Yeah, Foxnews has published at least one web article from the Onion - that's why I don't put my trust in any one source :)
another perfectly good thread ruined

Anyone who watches 1 news outlet for their information is going to be grossly misinformed. It doesn't matter what that source is. The problem with Fox News is people seem to be addicted to it. The news anchors aren't bad, but it's all the shows around the reporting "fox n friends, glenn beck, hannity etc..." that bog it down, but also they're the reason fox keeps getting viewers.
Same can be said about MSNBC though, Rachel Maddow slamming republicans every time republicans are slamming liberals and so on and so forth...
Moral of the story? Look in many places for your info otherwise you're going to become a moron. You have to actively search for the information and educate yourself, no one else is going to do it for you.

He flamed me in Server chat...I told him he needs to leave that to RnF...He kept doing it..I didn't care or respond in kind.
But then he started telling newcomers (who were just asking simple questions about the game) that they shouldn't join the server because its full of hackers of cheaters...And for that, I reported him. I suppose I could have reported him for racism, but it was in RnF so I left it alone.
