Author Topic: Cone, the pinnacle of public MERPers  (Read 3258 times)

     I have been recently playing Cone's mini empires, so before we go into drama hell, lets get some background info. I joined yesterday, and almost left at the sight of some very mediocre builds. While I will admit to not having perfect skills, I would consider Gentoo's builds to be the second coming of Christ compared to this crap. I do realize some people are new to the game, but the problem is, most of them aren't. Anyway, I just decided I would be a small empire off in the distance, but nope, Cone thinks he is the best terraformer of all time, and makes the islands by hand. He also gets to select where you start, and in my case, I was forced to start first off in nothing more than a 12 by 12 square. So, I decided to build, and I met a couple of friends, Sniper#1's empire and Lighting's empire.

     The day soon came to a dreary close, and I joined back today, only to be surprised that Cone gave me admin. I still feel like being an ass since he gave me admin, but hey, the Drama section is about being the bigger starfish and complaining for the millionth loving time how Tezuni is the anti-Christ. Well, I continued my journey, and made a second colony. I then learned Cone wanted to play God, so he decided to keep erupting a volcano near my empire, blowing ash into it. It may not seem like a problem, but apparently, when ash touches water, it makes loving poison, and that poison is also acid, so can't float a boat there, even though he is only 3 miles away, drinking from the ocean. Time flew by, he build onto the continent, and things became silent, until I finally established an army...

     Almost 5 minutes after that, he decided to force rp on me, by converting all citizens to his empire, in which I gave the simple Civilization response, "My people are too ignorant".  He also tried to waste my building space by adding in his "tourist" even though I never met his empire. Eventually, he decided to get a tempter tantrum, and tried to hide a large ass army inside some else's empire, forcing rp them. When I finally responded, and told him he was god modding, he went berserkers on me. Soon, I pointed out some of his flaws, and fended up for a person he was bullying, before he just decided to rage quit / perma'd me.

     Some pictures are at the bottom of the event, and please try to avoid this player's mini empires, as even a newbie would have a better learning experience on anything else. While I still try to defend my argument on that public MERPs aren't crap, this occurrence just makes me face palm. Also, I really do try to stay away from dramaing, and up to this point, I have, but this is just the pinnacle of stupidity of a host.

Also...

I feel sorry for you :(

if you want I'll host a merp for you so you can build whateverthehellyouwant.

Tempting, but I'll be ok, I still got Gento's server.


This reminds me of those pretend-games I'd play in elementary school, where no one really knew what the rules were and we spent 80% of the time arguing about it.

OP, I think the only way for you to win this is to not play.

thing is jontron and the people he plays with are part of the "high class" merp community and think they are better than all the other merp players. public merp isn't as bad as this drama makes out out to be

I'm certain it's worse than this drama makes it out to be.

ops name

why
Thank you for that very contributing post.
And what's wrong with Jontron anyways?

personally I think it's pretty loving ironic. Look at Jon's name, then look at his name.

When you build like Gentoo, you have every right to think you're better than all other merp players, because they ARE better than the others lol. Gentoo has his stuff down to a science, whereas 90% of the merps hosted on a daily basis are garbage. I would post my merp stuff, but this isn't gallery, nor is it bragging grounds. If you can build like Kris, Gentoo or Ozmar, you're an "elite". Otherwise, you're bottom of the barrel. There's really not too much imbetween, because it's all on such a small scale.

Yes, Badspot's quote about "everyone builds differently" has meaning here. No, that is not the be-all-end-all. You and I speak differently, but if you talk with a lisp and you use internet slang in basic conversation, you're going to look like an idiot, no matter who your audience is. Same applies to building: Sure, different skill levels and build styles, but it still boils down to how attractive it all is.

public merps are, 9 times out of 10, complete garbage. They end up being hosted for like 3 days max, there's always those three or four empires that are all 1x1F plate spam where someone is trying to do a family RP, and then there's the guy who has one house, and then 50 tanks. Every time. Prozy and Jakob host fairly well-run mid-level MERPs, whereas Kris and Gentoo are basically the elite of it all.

People, it's not that hard, it's Sid Meier's Civ series on Blockland basically.

that's outright insulting to me

Couldn't be said better. I am sorry if I somehow offended anyone by this Drama, and I am frankly not pointing out on how bad he builds, but more of the overall reaction he goes through. Btw, AdinX, what ever happened to your MERP?

Well I'm doing a complete different genre of MERP then all the other servers but ok.

cone is a cool guy. he's an administrator on my server and he's fun to hang out with. i talked with him for a while one time when i was hosting in the very early stages and it wasn't bad at all. then this drama came out and for a while whenever i see this i think it was cone's trolling. that's the one thing that he did when he went on my server that put me off was that he trolled. it wasn't major trolling or extremely douchey trolling, but it was still trolling and thats what i think was happening here

Btw, AdinX, what ever happened to your MERP?
I have the attention span of a potato
At the moment I'm working on a deathrun. In reserve I have a medieval MERP, a sci-fi merp, a fortwars, a city RPG map, a space station, a sci-fi jail...
Yeah. Lol.

Primarily, I'm working on my deathrun, which can be found here, and a new flagship for my sci-fi dup plate; here

What relevance does this have to ANYTHING that was just posted? You're hosting a different GENRE, that is still a MERP. Do you want a medal? I only paired you with Prozy because the build quality and gameplay style are fairly similar.
