What?? I....what??

If I were to try to ask for a Sprite or a 7 Up, and were to be as vague as possible about it, I'd just say 'Lemonade'.
Because that's what it's described as here, even though it's technically lemon-lime flavour.

I would maybe say the same about Lilt, which is a pineapple and grapefruit drink, but being so citrusy, it's sort of like lemonade. But really, you probably wouldn't call it lemonade.
It's made by Coca-Cola, but it's only available in the UK, Ireland, Gibraltr and the Seychelles.

I expect you never have to ask for lemonade, but always ask for irn bru instead because you don't live in a 3rd world country and know what's good for you

Irn Bru is restricted in the South. It's only available on prescription for refugees from the north who are recovering from addiction.

I don't even pay attention to the chat while I am building. I don't even notice if someone is trying to talk to me until they try getting in the way of me building. It breaks my concentration.

This is usually the case for me. I probably come off as quite rude when building.

The ultimate issue with removing maps is that most players do not have the technical skill or patience to assemble a masterpiece of general use terrain. And then the ones that do, do not actually share their talents at all. Upon scanning through the server lists on the Blockland website, I see a lot of private servers with these really awesome terrains that I would absolutely love to implement, but can't get my hands on because they're locked behind a password. Then they literally vanish into the abyss, never to be seen or heard from again.

I wonder how many of these people are building their terrain and want to be left alone while they build.
I like to have my server open while i build so people can join and entertain themselves too.
But, I can see that it's easier for someone to get in the way while you're building with big terrain blocks.

That said, there may be plenty of users who do build complete terrains and then never release them or even host them to the public.

Soda, I guess, but I literally never refer to carbonated drinks like that anywhere but on these forums on our annual pop v soda debate.

I just refer to things by what they are.
Colas are called either Coke or Pepsi.
Lemonade covers Sprite, 7Up, maybe Lilt.
Anything fruity I will ask for by name. Tango, Fanta, etc..

If I'm in a restaurant or pub where I might not see their brands of fizzy drink I usually just ask for lemonade, and usually get whatever brand. Probably Schweppes or some wholesale generic brand.
Any other instance and there's usually a sign and I was blessed with the ability to read.

Combat Zone was also supposed to be a way more interactive place. You'd essentially be able to be a star boxer. You'd have to fight Cait before you could get her contract, rather than killing everyone inside the place for no reason (???)

It's a shame that got cut. It made no sense why all the raiders instantly attack you.
Like, you're running a boxing/gambling den! How do you make money if you murder anyone who walks in??

I think it would have been nice if there were a few more raiders who weren't immediately hostile. Like they were more cunning than that and opened tolls on bridges that you had to pay or kill them to get across.
Or a group of raiders who wanted your help in overthrowing other raider groups. Especially given there is a higherarchy of groups and politics between The Forged and places like Corvega.

But I guess they feared players would immediately slaughter any people in raider gear from a distance??
