Umm, have to bring up the new "look"

[Jason2]

Ok, I thought about this for a long time... I don't like the big bullet up above the bulletin Boards.

In a time when gun violence is rampant and stories fill our daily papers, I wrestle with this look.

I realize this is a "war" gaming forum and that the bullet is representative of that... and, of course, I know that MM/Shrapnel Games is made up of dedicated people (who make the best games ever)... but it still bothers me.

It bothers me that my children will see me logged into a forum with a huge bullet. It bothers me that it seems to emphasize the worst aspects of why we come here rather than the best...

Please don't flame me ... I am truly concerned and open to hearing your opinions - I just wanted to share mine.

Thanx,

Jason2

I understand your feelings.

[Richard]

While I do understand your feelings I don't think that a bullet being shown in a forum such as this is in anyway destructive or in promotion of gun related violence.

Unlike twitch games that sometimes glamourize violence all of our wargames are ones that require thought and are realistic. Instead of spraying someone with shells like certain FPS games, our biggest hit 101 actually has a person go down realistically if they are shot by a weopon. In think this sort of things promotes reality to folks and shows them how truly dangerous guns can be in the hands of someone who wishes to do them harm.

But to get back to your point I do understand the concern but I don't think it is a big concern, especially with the types of games we make and the audience they cater to.

I agree with Jason about Shrapnel's new look. I personally don't like the bullet either.

Perhaps Shrapnel games can design a new header that resembles something like the "Top Secret" stamp - I think that would be a good look for the forum.

Otherwise keep up the great work Shrapnel!

I can understand the Jason argument, but... has someone noted that in SE4, usually you need to kill millions of people to have success?
