My thoughts on the cabal, and an anouncement.

Sigh. Tsk,tsk,tsk. It's amusing to see You tube videos about kdice. I really have no business commenting on much of this, but I have a reason to speak.

First of all, this "cabal" on kdice. I'm not surprised, in fact, anyone whose played at least five high ELO games knows something is funky.

This is a very social game, and these "elites"m of the kdice community have mastered that as well. Really, they see the same faces EVERY TIME they play. They're gonna get friendly.

And agreeing/disagreeing with aixo, a good kdice friend he has been, yes, friends on kdice mean that you're going to worry about a couple less people, if you're playing with them. If you disagree, try playing kdice AGAINST a sibling. Hard, since you kinda feel no reason to attack (said that a million times, now to get back on track).

But I disagree in that, I have only ever really played with one friend as being the player I get to "lean on", and not attack, or such, because of the relationship. But, If this cabal deal is true, and this video thing(I get to that too) as well, then that's just ridiculous.

It's doesn't just sound like cheating. It is. it is so much it isn't at the same time :) What's the point of having an account on a game site if all you do is "cheat" or whatever you do, just to get to the top?

I may be over reacting again, and so I'll check myself. But, really, the idea is just a waste of time, and, in the end, the only use of this game is for a chat room, IF this is the way you want to play.

But, sadly, it's inevitable. the only way to stop it is if we nixed the chat box, but that will never happen. It also frustrates me a little, because I've struggled against luck, bad players, and not caring to try to get back up to the 20000's, only to see this "come to light". But, I knew. The oldest comment on my profile says it all.

On the final note, I'm leaving. It's been an awesome time here, and I've had an awful lot of fun. I've made a name for myself, and I have memories of this I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else.

I've met people, who sound really cool, and they've been nice to me as well. Pretty much anyone I've played more than one game with. I give thanks to all those who I have shared a good laugh or two with,(anyone, pretty much 93.6849683% of the people I've played games with, so you don't feel left out) and those who have liked my essay like posts on the forum (especially aixo, though. I've never been compared to Michael Moore).

Also, I'm going to apologize for being an asshole. I may not come off as one immediately, but, I get pissed off when someone doesn't play how I want them too, or they just suck and they get in my way. But, if I'm on anyone's shit list, I repent.

Also, I hope some of my ideas get through (still pushing for a tournament!) Sometimes I have personally felt like I owned the place, but thats because I want to show something for playing kdice for several months.

Alas, I'm leaving, to regain a sense of competence and organization, I'm "leaving". I have loved kdice for a long time, but, a religious way of playing has gotten in the way of a "normal" life, so, I believe for now, until I am settled down, and have my game playing under control, I'm done. College (and Eagle Scout) Beckons!

P.S!!! I'm aware if I've gotten full of myself, and (hardly) no one will post, and this thread will drop faster than my self esteem will :)

Oh yeah, And I almost forgot, one I should never forget. Ryan, you made (one of) the best games I've ever played. If it means anything to you, It really was a fun experience, and just for the record, I'm sorry I didn't donate. i really had no way of doing so.

It's actually probably the best I've played, since few games let you have so much fun and laughs with a brother 3,000+ miles away :)

Thanks man, and have a good one! (I tried not to get cheesy!)

... uh. JDizzle. You want to leave this game.
I´m disappointed. Although we couldn´t play together so much the last weeks. That make me quite more disappointed. But so long it´s not the first time you wrote here that you wanna leave ;-)

You know, I always loved your posts (like this one), and that I agree with you in 97,8% of your statements.

This Post is the same - I can follow your arguments about the cabal. But I said already:
It´s just a game. And more: it´s funny to see the development of this virtual society.
And the cabal is one part of this society, as the anti-cabal. I love it!

And Ryan is smart enough to react on it, you remarked his last changes on the gameplay...

So - I really hope to see you again here - REALLY! And also: to play with you again!

aixo!

Dizzle, the "problem" isn't fixable. Nixing the chat box just moves the commnication to AIM, which is where most alliances get built anyway.

Kdice is just another social experiment, and we see what happened. If Ryan was a Psych or Sociology major, he could write his PhD dissertation based on this site.

MY thoughts on the cabal...I really think that the cabal should consider a change of name...you can't name something...what it is...let me explain...

have you ever read a book called "Book"
have you ever ate at a restaurant called "The Restaurant"
have you ever shopped at a place called "The Store"

no...because as people we are creative and we name things creatively...maybe the cabal should consider a name like "Band of kdice brothers...or THE KDICE Fellows...idk...but just "the cabal" kinda lame-o

But what about the Anti-cabal? If the cabal changed their names, we would have to change our names and copyrights. Then RND would change his name to NBC and it would be mass chaos. And I would also have to change my Euro-Gay haircut also. ^^^^
