Hi,
I’m a bit curious about the thoughts of the early Swedish players having characters in Turkish language group geographical game area and their acts, too. What were they thinking while taking their offensive actions …
I have got more than 5 innecent newspawns slaughterd just after saying something in swedish.
A little detail, actually they have been killed for not saying something Swedish, rather not speaking Turkish, mentioning they are foreigners.
Is this just some characters general hate of swedes
No its not a general hate of Swedes, why should we hate Swedes? Personally, I even have respect and sympathy for the Scandinavian cultures. We even talk of the groups in game rp as “Hgorians and Svensk” not “Turks and Swedens” as you.
It’s a game, and we are not teenagers, and count it in “game” norms. Yet, the game is a part of our lives, we spend several hours for it everyday, and its not a good thing to see your efforts are been wasted by someone (doesn’t matter from which ethnic background). Thus, of course it results in some emotion. Still, every one of us is connecting it to players not a race or nation.
some of you turkish players to eliminate all swedes in the part of the world that originally was only turkish? If so, its a bad CRB
I would like to hear what you think it’s a bad CRB indeed. I may say that... its normal, its real world history, its nature of the mankind, it’s a response to Swedish acts.
If you analyse any culture in the history you can easily see that, every system tries to protect itself... and in the position of cantr time period, its actually abnormal for different groups to live together, especially without a common language. Up to 20. century you can not see any example of it in real history, too.
There’s a land part, there are natives on it, foreigners come... it was a problematic situation always. The dialogues are on the edge of a blade. On any assault or provocation, it will result in tradegy, since it may be the point of existance or elemination of one of the groups. I am talking of the English and the Zulus, Spanish and the Incas/Aztechs, Europeans and American Indians, Holland and the Japanese, Rome and the Galia, etc… its not a bad CRB, its usual.
For our case…
Let me explain the situation once again, since there may be new players don’t know the Hgorian history, thus evaluate this situation wrongly with a quick and emotional response.
We are a community of a small group, a new language group in cantr, living peacefully on an island. Since it was based on an small island, there was quite harmony, no need for any aggression or any other thing, because there’s nowhere to run or something to fight.
It all starts with a longboat arriving to Hgorian (Turkish region) shores, with two crews. First we welcomed each other, and acted together. Then characters of the Swedish players start to spawn there. I have to mention that hospitality has great importance in our culture, so I tried to act that way with helping food, tools, etc.
Later because of the language barrier, two side starts to talk only to themselves. Thus polarisation has started. Upon that time we were a new language group and trying to develop. Even not have iron for locks. Our numbers were so few, too, even at a time, The number of Swedish characters on the island approached to our number.
Then the stealing, attacking and hunting of Sweden characters begun. Since we live on a small island, animal population was so low and hunting was banned, waiting for them to reproduce (was a technical problem always, never hunted). But Swedes killed the entire animal population on half of the island. One of the characters, that I personally helped him to built a boat, came to our city and stole our ship, with all the town supplies (still pirating other cities). Another city had been raided several times. It continued like this way for 6 months (real time).
I tried to get in contact and warn about our upsets. But nobody showed interest to my approaches. And slipped from the subject saying “It’s an act of a character, not everyone of us is thieves”. Yes, it’s true. But, if 5 of 10 foreigners steal something from a character, that character will generalise it.
I personally tried to talk with several characters, warning about the possible end, suggested to form among you a management, thus we can have diplomatic relations. Again, no response came. And that anarchic behaviour was damaging us.
Of course, after several conflicts, we started to depend on locks, still couldn’t find a solution to the problem. At that time, Swedish characters boarded a ship, dragged and imprisoned its captain, and stole a ship again. At that point, it passed the thin red line. We arrived and killed the involvers. So, the arrow was fired from the bow... the agression began.
And now…
Yes, I don’t want any invader on my home. Since it threaten me. The USA, Sweden, UK does the same too; wants visa and have border guards. Also, the cantr culture is not even as modern as these countries. They are a group with axes and swords, eating harvest food, having simple lives and simple thoughts. It’s quite simple. Eye for an eye. For them, foreigners are thieves and attackers... so not allowed in or land. They are warned, if they still stay there they would be attacked. Simple.
Its not a hate, for example we may with trade each other peacefully. But for new spawns, we have our experience... Its not an assault, I even see it as self-protection. We don’t have ships trying to invade Svensk mainland, and don’t want to be invaded, too. I am not following the immigrants to south to genocide them. Don’t have assault soldiers on the field. Just try to protect my region. Actually tired of the conflict and the uneasiness we live for several months. I like to live in a town, that I know everyone, whom I can talk with, who knows the rules, and obey them, etc. So I am acting in a way that every patriot acts. Trying to build a peaceful place for myself and my friends, in the place that you said as the part of the world that -- originally -- was only Turkish.
in cantr of course.. in the game only.
For Swedish players…
As I see from the tactics, and the acts of several characters, most of you are very experienced players. Yes, it may be ugly for you to be killed by someone, but please try to have some empathy. We got our share of reasons for that. If our intention was different, we would kill the first two boat crew, when they arrived.
If you are still accusing me, I don’t have anything else to say, since I see it’s very clear from my point of view. I have tried to avoid this final situation, tried to contact, tried to warn about it. Thus, I have my hands clean on the subject. We all know that there are innocent players upon process... but they have to accuse those thieves, not us. We are not the ones that triggered the conflict, just played our part, which is so obvious to guess.
