known backstabbers

If someone deletes it it means that it is some kind of violation here. I would be glad to hear it from admins as I didn't see any rules that prohibit it. As for me this thread will only add value, as will give newbie players more realistic view on diplomacy in Dom3, and will help them to have proper expectations.Hardcode dominions players will not find here something new or worthy for them. They know each other and they just don't care if the person they know for years backstabbed someone else, some newbie. Why deleting a thread which adds value? And why would admins did intervention here at all?

A thread that promotes arguments and bad feeling amongst the players in this community is certainly not adding value to it. And if you think a thread such as this is not going to lead to such problems, then you are certainly going to be in the minority with that opinion.

They would intervene because part of their job as admin / moderator is to ensure there are no threads on this forum that encourage flame wars / arguments / hostility between forum members. And one member openly branding other members as dishonest / untrustworthy / a cheat, is certainly not going to be viewed as something that encourages 'hugs and kisses' between members.


And I am not trolling thank you very much, I am pointing out for your benefit why threads such as this are a bad idea, and as Gandalf points out, why several such threads have been taken down in the past by the moderators. You are by no means the first person to attempt such a list, and you won't be the last. But such a list will never be a good idea on these forums, as they only ever serve to create an environment of bad feeling that is certainly unwanted in this Dominions community. (especially given the rough ride this community has had recently).

I noticed that people in games act like they do in real life. So if they are an jerk in the game, they are probably one in real life too.

I see this all the time in MMORPGS. Some people grief low level noobs all day long. It has nothing to do with roleplaying, they are just jerks, plain and simple.

But I agree that a thread like this will create a big flame war. And the devs don't seem to allow that on this forum.
