Y’ know what, I don’t care anymore
Blognomic for me as turned into making sure Qwaz and Wak don’t win because I’d sooner trust Sarah Palin when with an emperor position than either one of them. They don’t listen to reason, have no respect for tradition and the older players hear, and are basically your standard me-focused brats that inhabit much of the internet and, fortunately up until this point, hadn’t infiltrated blognomic yet.
With a little luck and some help, I might be able to end this dynasty tonight but that isn’t fair to Yuri—he hasn’t done anything wrong and scheming to end his dynasty early isn’t very nice. (Protip: plug the loophole where someone can make a proposal, and then vote :against: :arrow: to get +3 tourism. Repeat three times and you’re more than half way to your tourism limit. Your guys call if you choose to act on it before it gets plugged…). It also just isn’t fun. Maybe if it was later in the dynasty, but this dynasty has barely gotten started and I can’t really enjoy the dynasty if I’m worried about making sure I win as fast as possible to prevent Qwaz from pulling anything off.
But yeah, as there is nothing in the rules to make them go away (despite having heard from several other players who second my beliefs even though I’m the only one vocal about it) and Blognomic is no longer fun with them here I’m going to idle for a couple of months again. I mean, what is the point of keeping them from destroying Blognomic if doing that is a constant process? When I come back hopefully they’ll either have grown up and not completely ruined Blognomic in the process, have quietly gone away/finally done something ban worthy, or Blognomic will be in pieces I’ll have found memories of the good times.
Speaking of good times—I like to think back to a Blognomic where themes were a rough guideline of where the dynasty should go but the emperor wasn’t too uptight about what direction it should go. To a Blognomic where everyone got along and there wasn’t any DDA scheming for victory or non-DDA combating the DDA’s scheming with scheming of their own. Thats not to say there wasn’t scheming, but everyone got along and so the scheming happened with different sets of people each time. Maybe I’ve just become old and jaded and stuff was always better in the past—but the fact remains that I used to have fun with Blognomic and don’t anymore and so I don’t see why I should stay around and keep you guys from destroying it.
redtara: they/them
I’m sorry if you think I’ve been too uptight about this dynasty, I wasn’t trying to be.
I don’t know, it seems like everything was fine until around the time I joined, but lately there seems to be a lot of bickering and arguing here.
Sorry to see you go, Clucky. I hope you come back before too long.
Also, the Sarah Palin joke made me lol.
