Treated like criminals by the bitter 15 year olds (or those with that mindset) at least. Happily, in the end, their opinions are immaterial to one's success.

What a coinky-dink. I'm also a fan of commercial muds. And how about that - I'm not bitter, nor am I 15. In fact, it was only a couple of years ago (if that) that I posted my first post here on this forum about a particular commercial mud and was thrashed soundly for it.

No, I have absolutely nothing against pay-to-play games, and think that it can be a perfectly respectable business worth persuing. I also have no issues with Achaea, and know a few people who play it and enjoy it.

However, none of this has ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FOLDER THIS THREAD IS IN!

What part of this do you people not understand?

Edited to correct a mistyped word.

You're not one of the people I'm referring to actually. I'm pretty sure they know who they are, when they admit it to themselves.

argh, all he wanted to do was introduce himself, and this turns into this whole debate. And I was not trying to advertise Iron Realms games, I just wanted to say I liked them.

Well, with that little bit of typing, that cleared up a little of this mess within this whole fiasco of an introduction.. I've read this thread through, and I'm personally amused by the scant detail of some misappropriated calling of a game while someone is trying to introduce themselves.. quite silly, really. He simply stated something, which I'm certain that he never had ANY intention of promoting Achaea, whereas he gets jumped on like fresh meat thrown into the tiger cages... and people wonder why there isn't much posting going on here anymore... sheesh...


Just my 2 cents worth

With the exception of the first 4 lines in the original post, the first 3 posts weren't about Athemair, they were about a mud. That doesn't sound like an introduction post to me.

They actually sounded like a badly acted commercial IMO.

However instead of all this arguing, a simple transfer of this thread to the advertising section would have been fine.

Some people will argue about the colour of the sky (which is blue).

The sky is red.

She'd have good reason. She was actually trying to be helpful, in a humorous way, and got insulted in return.

And the sky is grey here.

The sky is black.

This is the best thread ever!
