I have an extremely large understanding of the English language. I found what said as demeaning towards both of them. I think you're fighting a losing battle here...

Well if I was posting or responding to threads on a Norwegian language forum I would be making damn sure of the proper translation.

But, given that Miss Skam is more than able to fight her own battles, may I suggest you get back in your box (and pull the lid down).

I refer you to the final paragraphs of both their initial responses to which I replied accordingly. Maybe you would like to point out where either Miss Skam or Mjukis were mentioned in my original post.

Mjukis has at least replied again with the intention of continuing a debate even though we may have differing opinions.

Miss Skam on the other hand seems to have taken it as a personal attack on the integrity of her journalism which it never was.

PS I fight my own battles Dion as no doubt Miss Skam can too. So my ultimate response is the same as I gave Lighterthief.

How can you say thats constructive, is beyond me, lol.

The manner of which his view was shared, was far from constructive.
I dont care where you are from. I am from Finnmark, and its allowed to swear in court here, and swearing to policeofficers is a-okay, but that does not mean I will go around swearing at people in a forum.

And Im not trying to make anything into a argument. I havent made any personal comments.

The last comment I made in the last post was directed at Wikkerman and not at you. I said "you, Wikkerman", as to direct it to only him, I did not say "you and wikkerman". No point in arguing over misunderstandings?

Nice backpedal. The use of a comma denotes things in a series. You, me, him and her. It is also used as a pause which was not applicable here.

There was no need to make a mythical country up with fabled examples, I was only trying to put across to you the general traits of a nation.

I can see it as constructive because I know wikkerman and know his views on the game. I.e. He likes it. Generally those who like something do not set about to de construct it. Counter-intuitive...

In general:
I think the MAJORITY of people who post on this board need to be a little more tolerant of each other.
I think people should accept other's views in a constructive manner and not look to flame each others views on a regular basis.
If someone has an opinion on something, it is because they have an opinion on it, they are entitled to that opinion without being ostracised.

It is good for any organisation to hear, from a customers perspective, what they perceive is wrong with the product.
We wouldn't want the makers of our favourite game to fall into the trap of complacency, would we?

Conclusion: MindArk can do nothing good ? :\

Nice article btw

rofl, so i am fighting her battle am i? hahahaha
its gotta be a pretty amazing defense if i can do it in 7 words. or is it easier for you to argue with ppl who "have insufficient command of the English language"

i think what ur basicly saying is i am not allowed a opinion on this, that seems pretty harsh, and also pretty hypocritical too.... you have a opinion, and a pretty strong one too looking at ur posting style. but how unreasonable for anyone to have a opinion that doesnt agreee with you... geez

and the patronising "get back in ur box" comment..... erm wtf?

And yet, I pointed out there was a misunderstanding. Whats the point in still arguing about it?

There was no need to make a mythical country up with fabled examples, I was only trying to put across to you the general traits of a nation.

mythical country? Thanks for the laugh, at least.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnmark

"fabled examples" is also not true. We had a case with a man swearing at a policeman as he was being arrested. He was brought to court, and was found innocent as swearing was a natural way of expressions for finnmarkings.
Also, like I said, its allowed to swear in court in Finnmark.

I, however, dont use this as any excuse for any misbehaviour.

I can see it as constructive because I know wikkerman and know his views on the game. I.e. He likes it. Generally those who like something do not set about to de construct it. Counter-intuitive...

I do not know Wikkerman, and Wikkerman should remember he is in a forum full of people who do not know him.

I think the MAJORITY of people who post on this board need to be a little more tolerant of each other.

Constructive being the main key.
What is concidered wrong with the product has nothing to do with calling other players brownnosers, "A few crumbs from the table and everyone starts kissing ass big time." or having "rose tinted spectacles" or how about having a "appetite for swallowing any bullshit diversionary tactic thrown my way."

Its rude, its offensive and it has no place in a mature discussion.



Wikkerman, Im not even gonna bother answering you. You're past silly. lol.

If they were playing their own Avas with MA peds their skills would be worth more than that I'd say?

The ambassadors gave up their time. If we're talking peds/RL cash spent by MA...how much would actual employees have cost to replace those guys, and how much better is it all round that real players got involved? Employees wouldn't give the same impression at all to visitors, nor would they have the experience or enthusiasm that the ambassadors do.

I'm pleased to see those who went enjoyed themselves, I'm happy they got fed and partied a little, I'm sure they also asked a few questions along the way and learned a little more. I'm not a bit jealous.

MA did a good thing here, not a shadow of a doubt it's the best way to go for company and playerbase alike.

Nice report too as usual SKam. TY for sharing.

t

Agreed. + Rep

Great article Skam, captured the fun and enjoyment of the evening.

[Radio]

oops. Finnmark. County. Not Country misread it, sorry

Argument? there is no argument, there is discussion.

Final summary.

-Nice article, wish it had a bit more tangible information.

-Cool to see Mindark making a face to face effort with the ambassadors.

-Tolerance of peoples opinions is required here on this forum, regardless of the language they decide to use to convey their opinion.

I'm out.
