They're talking about how EA has murdered my interest in the game. And guess what, I solved the mystery. It was through another terrible update.
First off, they melted the Ice God. It was predictable that the new snowmen would melt as the others did, but at least their heads are recognizable. The ice god is just a puddle now. He takes up space and cannot compliment my Buddhist Temple anymore.
Of course anyone's free to build his or her SF as they see fit, but the ice god never was a complement to the Buddhist temple because it's a Hindu god. Also, the puddle version is a perfect fit next to the ice rink or parked in front of Barney's Snow Plow.JoshSherer wrote:
Second, the grass seems way to green.
Totally a matter of opinion, doesn't bother me, and IMO doesn't equate to EA "murdering" the game.JoshSherer wrote:
And most important, after months without a level update, we finally end this wretched X-Mas update which seemed to drag on forever, and we got nothing from it. No new land/characters/buildings/decorations.
So you didn't collect ANY of the individual or community prizes? You didn't get anything from the wheel? You didn't get the Yes Man, you didn't get the Elf House (which still generates $$ and XP), you didn't get the Christmas tree, the reindeer...need I go on? We actually got a LOT from the update, even if you remove the wheel from the equation.JoshSherer wrote:
EA, you're losing me fast. Very fast.
Is that a threat, or a promise?
You'll never stop playing because you clearly find great satisfaction in being dissatisfied with the game and then posting dissatisfied rants here. You are most definitely getting something you like and value from this game: a bottomless spit n' vinegar refill. :roll:
Referring to the quote in red. Josh is not talking at all about the Christmas update. He's writing about the update we got yesterday. He clearly explained that but for a few people, they've confused the issue.
Why be so nasty about what he wrote? Are you happy with no level up to 38? The last time we got a level up was in October during Halloween. I too am losing interest in the game because of this. I know there are a parade of people in the forums who dislike me, I'm not trying to win a popularity contest. I'm just amazed at how people stick up for EA. The fact that it's the PREMIUM players who make it possible for this games success, we have every damned right to hold EA's feet to the fire.
(By nasty, I mean the overall tone of your post. It's really obvious that you didn't understand one, single thing he wrote because you couldn't possibly think that he was wrong on every one of his points and the dig at the end... Nasty.)

If there was any "overall tone" in my post, it's only what you (and apparently tankgirl) are reading into it. All I was doing was replying to the major points in Josh's post in a matter-of-fact way. Having re-read it more than once, I still see nothing inflammatory or provoking in my remarks. Of course, you can't say the same for ANY of Josh's posts, but I guess he's got some kind of diplomatic immunity in your eyes.
RE: my saying Josh gets something he likes out of the game, a reason to complain, what's so "nasty" about pointing out the same thing COUNTLESS others have been saying all over this board for as long as I've been playing and visiting?
Was there any name-calling there in my remark? Was there any personal attack? Were there any insults? No. All I said was he obviously enjoys complaining (obvious because it's all he ever does here) and that despite all that complaining he IS getting something he likes from the game. If he weren't getting something out of this neverending saga of getting the update, hating the update and then coming here to complain about it, he'd stop playing. I didn't call him a 'whiner', 'spoiled child', or any of the other names I've seen plenty of other people lob at him. Yet I'M being nasty. Sheesh. :roll:

And the cheap shots and sexist insults---from someone who is apparently female, no less---begin. Because anytime a woman is annoyed it's because she has PMS. Even if she's already gone through menopause. It couldn't possibly be because of the insults and name-calling.
Nice. Way more helpful, amusing, fair, and productive than anything I've ever posted here. I take back what I said before because now I see you're absolutely right: you know the exact right way everyone here should express themselves, and you know exactly what they should say.*
*sarcasm. In case my "tone" was unclear.

You are full of yourself. This wan't targeted at you. In fact, it was targeted at no one. Do you see any names? No. Did't think so.

There doesn't have to be insults or attack, you just write with a strong tone that speaks miles of "I'm better than you, your remarks suck and mine don't". You're a writer, you figure it out.

...says the commenter who just openly took a cheap shot at me and insulted me again in another comment above.
People can read whatever "tone" they want to assume into anything online. That doesn't mean it's there.
