Why we should have the old Blockland back.

--- End quote ---
I don't want to have to build every single time I jump in to single player or an free build server.
OFFTOPIC: Why not have it where there is an game mode called Custom - Explore which would automatically disables S & S. It could even allow Badspot and Kompressor add an more optimism version of T & I's.

you misunderstood the megatopic as well, i meant that, when talking about the creator, i was referring to this thread and why it shouldn't be the actual megathread, and the point beyond that was compounded by posts people have made in this topic regarding the ops lack of substance. i was not referring to some magical future scenario wherein i knew the op of such a thread would be a raging idiot...
yes the post wasn't black and white but its really not that hard to interpret lol
--- End quote ---
stop throwing this interpretation stuff around. "oh you SHOULD understand it i can't believe you don't see through what i'm TRYING to tell you"
just come out and say it, be black and white so i can directly respond to you without you saying this "you can understand the message i MEANT to say, right?" crap every time you post. You should be as clear as you can.
You stated that both the megatopic statement and the response to jay's post were problems with my argument. Explain to me DIRECTLY how both of those things you listed are PROBLEMS with my argument. I never said this topic should be used as a megatopic, I said this:
--- Quote --- People will continue to post these threads, there's no megatopic left to post in.
--- End quote ---
BECAUSE the megatopic got locked, these threads are created. There wouldn't be that many of these threads if the megatopic wasn't locked. I'm NOT saying these topics should act as megatopics, i'm NOT saying someone should make a megatopic. There was an official place to post things regarding the update, and that was in the update's official topic. Now that that is locked, there's going to be even more scattered topics like this all over the place.
Mr.Noßody:
This is a game of creation.
If you don't create, you can't play. Simply because it nobody created, there would be no game.
The nature of this game is to build stuff, the goddamn tagline on the game itself emphasizes that.

--- End quote ---
That's a stuffty cop out. "Oh, it's too hard to build nice things!"
--- Quote from: King of the Bill on June 28, 2013, 07:30:38 PM ---That's because it worked and most servers were more focused on high-FPS battles than slow-ass fancy builds.

Get a computer that doesn't run DOS.
--- Quote from: King of the Bill on June 28, 2013, 07:30:38 PM ---except it slows down dev time for good servers by months and months.
--- End quote ---
Id rather play a well polished game than a crappy cutout as I stated before...
--- Quote from: King of the Bill on June 28, 2013, 07:30:38 PM ---I cannot build a huge beach pit with bricks, even modter doesn't have the angles I need.
--- End quote ---
Yes you can. Why not try it sometime?
--- Quote from: heedicalking on June 28, 2013, 10:08:32 PM ---people aren't forced to build unique things. there isn't some blockland revolution of amazing building potential after the update.
--- End quote ---
I'm saying there should be. Not "there was". Even with the vice of being lazy taken away, people still find ways to do nothing. That is TRUE laziness.
--- Quote from: heedicalking on June 28, 2013, 10:08:32 PM ---if you look around, the lazy are still lazy.
--- End quote ---
I already covered that.. Thanks for repeating it...
--- Quote from: heedicalking on June 28, 2013, 10:08:32 PM ----everything-
--- End quote ---
I'm sorry, are you agreeing with me or something? Cause your just repeating what I said aside from the fact you think laziness is fine..
I just really wish more people made things to play other than search for servers to play on. There would be more diversity in the server base, more interesting things to be a part of, and lastly more game to play.
Right now we have default-build RP's in every genre imaginable.

This is honestly pathetic. What's the big deal about being lazy in a video game. I get home and play games to relax and be lazy. This isn't like people are slacking off at their job, or are producing mediocre works that you're paying for. It's people playing a video game. This shouldn't be some kind of revolution of the lazy to make them build or force them to play the way you want. If you want to make something original, go do it.

I was responding directly to this, where you said that people are forced to build unique things:
--- Quote ---Now without them, people are forced to actually build unique and interesting things to do what that want, and thats a good thing.
--- End quote ---
I was saying how the lazy people are still lazy, and they AREN'T forced to build new things.

How is that agreeing with you, that's going DIRECTLY against what you said.
Every month or so, these topics and conversations about the "decay of blockland" pop-up about unoriginality and "lazy gamers" and nothing changes. You all preach about the "bad situation" the game is in, but nobody steps up to change it.
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=217816.45
This was about 7 months ago, and what do you know, you guys still haven't pulled it together.
According to Bushido, the topic before that one failed to ignite because "the last time this died off was because of extraneous and extremely contrived circumstances." It turns out the topic I linked failed to ignite as well. Nothing's going to change unless the people doing all the barking step up and start biting. Nobodies going to change and stop being lazy, nobodies going to answer your call. It held true back then and it still holds true now.
As I said seven months ago
--- Quote from: Heedicalking ---this has been done again and again, and the spark fails to light. if you want this done, maybe people should start actually lighting the fire instead of just talking about it. you don't personally have to go out there making a bunch of servers, but it would be nice if some people actually did.

General:
He's making a point that he prefers Blockland with interiors, as do I, so I don't see why people a making such a fuss over some kid's reasonable opinion on the internet.
