Complaining, baiting and repeating offenses are not going to get GP removed as a mod. The sooner you stop your tirade and get back to playing the happier you will be.

cas is more confused than anyone i have seen in the last few weeks.
Guinea, as bad as he is, would probably be replaced by someone worse. If you were 1/10th of the way to my level, you would already know this. If you follow these facts to conclusion, you now know you are an idiot who has no clue what it is I am doing on these forums. This post was to argue for a leaderboard. As an aside, I was teasing Guinea for being trigger happy on censorship considering I said nothing that should have been censored. I also pointed out that some posts that are censored are critical of the staff and those seem to be mysteriously censored the most, while other posts with the word "faggot" in them but with no GM criticism magicly are left alone. I am not advocating the removal of Guinea or even the removal of any staff. I am merely pointing out the inconsitencies when they particularly are set against good ideas such as: ffa 6-50 free trade pvp, leaderboard, no rules except no training. And of course no hacking. (I added that last one, because you have to add that in if blue players are playing. Red players already know this) | ||

Here is a link to an interesting study done by the National Research Council. The title is: Keeping score for all: The effects of inclusion and accomodation. It is long and will challenge some of your aptitudes. For those of you who are fidgety or have short attention spans, or cannot seem to comprehend its meaning, let's just say it's not good to accomodate or include weaklings or pansies or those that otherwise wear panties when playing EQ. | ||

Book Review: Andrew Breitbart’s Righteous IndignationMovie Review: Thor the Mormon →The Scandal of Keeping Score
Posted on June 23, 2011 by Patrick Belfast Yesterday, my five-year-old son played his second soccer game. At his first game, I asked the coach who won. There was a cold, awkward pause, and then he informed me that everyone is a winner. I still asked him who won, and he wouldn’t tell me, but he did want to communicate that I had committed a “faux pas,” which is a kind of loosing. I wont belabor the point that this philosophy of not keeping score is bad for Western Culture. The other nations of the world are keeping score, and for that reason, they know the West is losing. But there is one small ray of hope. During the game last night, I saw a small rebellion on the team. My son, with one of his five-year-old teammates were sizing up the game. Quietly one said to the other, “I think the score is two/one, they’re winning.” The other replied, “No. One/one. I think we’re tied.” Last night was a blow out. My son’s team won, which encouraged them, since they had lost badly two nights before. You could see the kids stand a little straighter. ------------------------------------ Boys becoming men about it. Won't you join them? | ||

Everybody has heard that some cities have stopped keeping scores in children sports. Like, they don't keep score in flag football or tee-ball or something like that. They think it will make the kids feel better about themselves for not losing. My take is that: Bill Gates realized when he was young that he couldn't hit a fastball and because of that, turned to other things (computers) and now he's an 80 billionaire. Maybe if they didn't keep score, the other kids wouldn't get mad at him for stinking up the place, and he wouldn't have quit playing. What do you guys think about it? ------------------- Wow. Get on this guy's level. | ||

For the vast majority of children who play these sports, the aspect of greatest value provided is character development. Accepting winning and accepting losing are important parts of life, but the winning or losing, in of itself, has no value. OK, your kid misses a perfect scoring opportunity at the end of the game that would have tied it up. As a parent, what do you say? You should help your kid learn and grow from these experiences. Especially the negative experiences. That you get better at things by learning from people who are better than you - in sports, that involves playing with, or better yet, playing against, people at a higher skill level. And that you can't win every time - nothing works that way. Learning these lessons in the context of a GAME, where the ramifications of failure are nil (unless a dumbass parent is somehow involved), is ideal. The score itself will not harm children. The reaction of some parents to the score is what does that. ---------------------------------------- Learn and grow from your negative experiences. Learn from those who are better than you. You won't beat me. It doesn't work that way, but you can hold your head high because you didn't quit and you kept score. | ||
