Originally posted by xpiher Originally posted by Hammertime1 Originally posted by egotrip Do you have an 'obituary' section in this newspaper? That would certainly be the easiest section of the newspaper to fill. Just the "I quit" statements would be more than any three full-time employees could handle. And everyone one of the "I quit" threads are the same thing: DFO isn't a sandbox because everyone is the same (not true) and they don't punish PKing enough. We both know the Obituary section would be the biggest and most active part of Bannerfall. I don't think Xpher has that kind of time on his hand... since he plays DFO all the time. More importantly, where does Xpher get his information and how does he fund the website! To me.. That is whats most interesting about this endeavor. As I have already stated, Xpher is one of the biggest DFO fanbois and has always denied Darkfall's decline and problems. Now he's trying to be a media outlet for the game and we all know the content will be fed VIA Tasos.... as lipservice with an agenda. A political map already exists and has proven to be outdate constantly, along with guild rosters. Yet Xpher will never admit this. Now he has a funded website for all his propaganda..? Awsome, perhaps he won't troll here as much, clouding every thread with his fanboism and bias.

Originally posted by xpiher You didn't post an I quit thread on DFO's website, although I did see a Hammer TIme guild. What do I care why people quit, its all been said 1k times before. actually you should care, because people who like the game should work on getting the endless list of stuff fixed that is currently killing the game. fans who care for the game they play shouldn't be afraid to critize and make themselves heard to improve and fix the game. yet most of the darkfall fanbois don't stop to blindly defend their game like teenies who fight for their favorite music band and harrass / mock people who complain on the official boards, it's a sad fact in df and i have never experienced it that bad in any of the other games i have played. what is even worse is that AV is obviously not the bunch of hardcore gamers that care for their game and their fanbase, they are a bunch of clueless, greedy retards and delete / close threads like there is no tomorrow. they also lie and rip people off - there is no communication, no good customer service, nothing ... but they charge retail price from their fans for the core of a game that was promised and advertised (in interviews and newsposts) over the years. but besides the horrible developers i think that most of the df fans are the worst community i have ever seen and sometimes i get the impression on this board that there are a few guys who get free playtime or other goodies from AV to act like shills. jedi mind - heavenly divine, steadily shine in '99! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVZyX5glEgs

Originally posted by Seytan Originally posted by xpiher Originally posted by Seytan Originally posted by pwnzorellOr Oh Phelcher, come on ... what's wrong with fans of a game that try to do something like a newspaper for the community, it's a good way to socialize and keep people entertained / interested. it can be pretty fun to make or to read and it's not like they are making some fanboi propaganda for the game or stuff like that. :D so good luck with the project! I agree as long and he maintains some sense of impartiality, and apparently hes already been accused of not bieng impartial at all. The only people that have accused me of being biased are the ones who I pointed out faults with. Besides that, I have never claimed that any of my political reports were suppose to be unbiased; yet, the background information that my conclusions are based on is "fact" in so much as thts what happened and was agreeded upon by most participants. Originally posted by egotrip Do you have an 'obituary' section in this newspaper? Lol that would be pretty funny. Dont forget this...just because you are publishing this "newspaper" does not give you absolute dominion over the truth. See what I just did there? You assert you are now a purveryor of "fact". Because concensus as you "see" it says so. I am sure there are many whom would disagree. See what I did there again? At any rate as you say you never intended for the "newspaper" to be unbaised. And its important that this is evident. No, I never intended for my political reports to be unbias; however, the bulk of the information that is in them is historic and therefore factual. Everything else is meant to have a counter point. For instance, the fanboyish editorials will be countered by letters to the editor or critiques given by other people on the staff. You'd know all this if you bothered to read any of it. Good job at taking things out of context tho.

I have admitted the alliance data is outdated and can be manipulated, but right now its the best we have. However, this site isn't meant to replace the df.urme.com site and in fact, that site replaced the political spreadsheet I ran and the map that venetar ran. The map is pretty accurate since it pulls the information from the game (ownership can be seen by anyone). wordpress.com is a free blog hosting service so it doesn't cost money. Political information comes from meta analysis.

Originally posted by wyrdaskolir Hey xpiher this is a bad place to post that because this forum is infested with lots of anti-darkfallers whos only aim is to degrade the game and make them lose potential customers. I'm not going to call any of them trolls because they will only reply by saying they aren't trolls and that they are making logical assumptions why trolll this .. and start this? Did you notice you .. YOU were the 1st.. there was no "infested with anti-darkfallers" .. nope you planted a seed and started what ever comes.. MMORPG is not better nor worse than any other place.. its what YOU make of it..

If you do not believe me, I will log onto both of my DFO forum accounts related to the Agon Report, and post whatever you wish me to . . . though I am taking a break from DFO. I took it off line because there was simply not enough news to break. All that was there was what was on the Guild Discussion forums. People were reluctant to say anything or give out info, because of the political situation of the time (Hyperion vs Goons vs LoD). I was basically rewriting things I had read on the forums . . . and though I was getting roughly 10,000 hits a day, to me, it felt like I was being a cheap and a cheat. It was a waste of time. I wish you good luck on what I could not do. I hope you get more informants and better more reliable news.

If you read one of the old post I put up there you'll see that people were forthcoming with information. The report I did right after that had 20 individual sources a couple being SGs. Sucks that you had to close it. The reports were informative, even if you were just doing meta analysis which is a feat in and of itself (trust me I've done them).
