Why Griefers Are Jason's Natural Selection

OminousBladeBlank · 2019-08-07 06:57:54

Jason has handcrafted a path for any nihilist to 'ruin' the combined efforts of hundreds of players without any real repercussions in game (I'm being melodramatic. Griefers only really hinder the progress of a town as towns survive independent of lines and are almost inevitably repopulated).

The path not to take is one that directly conflicts with your own line.

Even now familiar people to your family can take curse action against you.

But still, under almost any circumstance, there is a violent course of action you can take without really risking a trip to Donkey Town, our own in-house AFK simulator.

This path becomes safer and more defined with every update.

Now, as long as I bring loot back from a raid, or that I at least have the intention and means within reason to achieve such an outcome, I do not see slaughtering a city as griefing. And if I die losing my city's loot, at least I know that my efforts were a calculated risk with opportunity to succeed.

These actions are elicited in accordance to the game's intention: advance your immediate and long term family by means available to you.

Towns that do not properly engage with the game will create windows for grief. However, well-planned towns will develop to thwart aggression by plugging holes that griefers expose. Without the griefer mentality of deriving enjoyment from punishing misplays and enacting aggressive strategies, your town has no x-factor enemy. No mob in this game will replace the tactics and decision making of another person. The game environment may have aggressive features, but the only real opponents are the players.

The builders will need some time to learn the best practices when it comes to multigenerational defense strategies. The big players in leadership will need time to develop more efficient methods of information distribution and decision making. Intermediate players need more time to learn the signs of a raid or an internal grief. The community needs time to iron out what is meta for multi-family communities.

But ultimately it's the griefers who will give everyone else a reason to actually get better.

As a result, when I have nothing to lose in a game, I do everything within my power to punish every player I can for their decisions, whether it's a forgotten gate perm or trusting a random man with a sword.

Survival of the fittest. I'm making you better.

Fuck your justification for your shitty actions. You people kill everyone without discrimination. Don't act like you have any goal in mind beyond mindless griefing. We got screenshots from your friends who said it's all cause they have fun doing it.

my friends? I play this predominantly by myself. I'm not on the new discord for trolls. I am my own troll with my own morals. I'm here to fight. If I have a team, great. If not, then it's a free for all for me.

I play this game for fun.

I have fun wiping out villages. Especially when the village deserves it.

Stealing iron from another village is justified if benefitting your own, Raiding towns if they stole your iron is justified. Killing people for the fun of it is just griefing. You have no justification but "exposing the defenses of a town". That's not a reason you're just trying to find a reason out of nothing. You're a greifer as simple as that who wants to kill cause you enjoy that. You are by definition a griefer.

Don't give OminousBladeBlank's posts attention. He is a well known troll. Let griefer braggings die into obscurity.

I want to be upset but the combo of your name, pic, and desc is all too funny.

It's ironic because knives are now, for the most part, the good guy weapon.

This is the problem. I bought a game of parenting and civilization, you bought a sandox to kill others. Who is right or wrong? Idk. All I can tell you is you are only having fun because you are abusing a system. Go play some PvP somewhere else where everyone has the same goal and the same chances, you are just a coward killing others that don´t want to fight here. Fuck you.
