Hey I would like to open an open, honest and clean discussion on how this games community is driven.

I would like to point out that this post stands on its on feet, with no regards to earlier posts posted by and or with the poster in question.

Respect and regards

Greetings RCR,

its hard to start a discussion about the whole community without anyone beeing in the position to be able to speak about the whole community. Which part of the climate would you like to adress? Could you specify the discussion topic a bit more?

Regards

I like that "TheWarming" is posting a music video to put the mood of the thread, very nice touch.

+1 for the community.

Snowlob you make some very solid arugments, and your points are valid. My idea was that these different parts of the comminity would be naturally discussed during the thread.

But we can start with, for example:

1. How are new players being welcomed here by the veterans?

I like it, overall kind of refreshing. Community is small and I think that means a little less anonymous than in most places on the internet, which maybe results in the game being less toxic. I'm quite old as far as most people playing games go, so it's nice to play in a place with more maturity than most.

The ZK community is mostly friendly and they jape and joke a lot - they may do something that seems toxic at first, but you'll find out later they aren't really toxic themselves. Then there are a few people who are flat out toxic, many who are active all the time and make the whole environment feel toxic, even though it's not.




There are also some unofficial classes you need to be aware of:

-admins (the administrators who run ZK)

-badmins (admins who abuse their power for toxic reasons; fortunately, there are only a few - most of the admins are reasonable people)

-drama seekers (people who cause and are drawn to drama)

-forum dwellers (people who essentially live on the forums)

-nerfherders (people clamoring for unit nerfs every couple weeks)

-lobsters (players with either poor playing skills or insane strategies that will most likely fail)

-toxic people (people who are toxic [a stupid and self-explanatory explanation, but I wanted to include it])

-anarchists (people who seek to overthrow the admins no matter what)

-the masses (everyone else, the normal people who aren't really involved in Zero-K politics, they usually just do the game, not the forums)





To be honest with you, I'm a forum dweller, lobster, and drama seeker. NOrankrockingchairrabbit, if you feel intoxicated by toxic people, join me and my clan, Wa-ter. We will take care of you and, if need be, ward off the oppressors.

Inquiring minds want to know.. how do you know if this community is toxic if the last time you've actually played a game was 17 months ago?

hmmm 17 months ago.. 2 years ago.. why do i get the feeling this might be the guy who got banned from the other post regarding a 2 year old event

edit: oops it was the same guy.. so he is still searching to position himself morally regarding the community.. most people are nice.. but someone clearly wronged this man.. why else would he hold such a turmoil for so long.. i bet there was a little more to the story

Where on earth did that dude opined whether the community is toxic or not?

At the moment I am not really seeing a reason for this thread to exist, but perhaps it can be improved.

NOrankrockingchairrabbit if you expect other people to put actual effort into this conversation instead of just making memes then you need to put some effort in in the first place. Asking rhetorical questions and transparent drama baiting does not fall into that category.

The insinuation was made here and by extension this post (see: title).

But this is a separate post, where the op has no mention of knowledge about the state of the community.

he probably plays on a smurf acc after the fiasco of recent forum wars.. i get the feeling he finds conflict even under the guise of other identities.. perhaps he plays in a way that attracts negative attention.. like drp rushing

Here is a simple explanation NOrankrockingchairrabbit, there is no corporation that we know of, behind either the game, "Zero-K", or the engine the game runs on, "Spring-RTS".
