You should note, Armageddon, that one of the facilities in
Grimtown, namely the one furthest to the West, does not belong
to Team Grim. It is Skyranch, the abode of Phoenix, who is an
independent agent. We respectfully request that you and your
fellows (you should get a team name ;) ) be careful not to raid
that particular structure, and avoid shooting Phoenix if you
can.

Greetings Admiral Fatts. I have not had the opportunity to meet
you in-game yet. Based on being around the other gents for a few
weeks though, I feel I must weigh in on your discussion. It
appears with your first response that you were responding in the
spirit in which it was "required" to be intended:
"You want to claim a sovereign area, build a wall and maintain
it. You win over new neighbors by bringing over cake and an
ugly potted plant instead of acting like a thug in the hood.
Last I checked there weren't any shoes hanging from the power
lines yo."
A nice retort indeed.
However, you then backtracked the spirit after WisenGrim's
masterful soliloquy with:
"Having fun is purely a subjective principle. Your definition
and mine are entirely different things. I deal with ridiculous
requests every day in real life, people are absurd and I expect
no better from you or any other member of the human race."
I wholeheartedly agree with what I BOLDed. However, what I
underlined is troubling. I work in the IT field and deal with a
vast number of such "requests" and people....for the past 25
years+. No disrespect or "telling you what to do" intended on
this next statement: Since you "expect no better" from anyone on
Earth it seems, do you feel it is in your best interest to be
playing this game on a public (/private) server? It seems a
conflicting situation for you with your feelings of people in
general. You are placing yourself in an environment where it is
understood many personalities and gameplay styles are going to
clash. It seems you would enjoy your time much more solely
pursuing single player.
I of course have ZERO say in who plays on the server and in no
way imply you should not be here. But based on your replies, it
seems you should have a Gran Torino parked in front of your
dwelling 8) (to use an overused retort). True, everyone could
leave you the hell alone, but that really makes no sense when
you place yourself in a multiplayer setting. ???
The more the merrier and the more for Zombie fodder and tales of
foolishness for all!!

@SilensVentus
Perhaps it is because I am overwhelmingly cynical. It may also
be by chance that I am tired of what horrid and low quality
interaction with other people that I get in real life that I
play games in the first place. I was playing on this server far
before it went public. No I'm not going on a tirade, stating I
was here first, therefor everyone else must kiss my ass to my
satisfaction.
You seem to suggest that I want to be left alone. To correct
you, no, I don't want to be a hermit. I find myself becoming one
more and more and I have no desire to be one, hence why I look
on games for social interaction.
Now you're probably thinking to yourself, "wow there's something
wrong with this guy."
You would be correct.
You would probably next think of making the typical suggestions.
Been there and done that. In fact, can't afford it. (insert
typical "Thanks Obama" joke here)
I came here to play the game with one of the two people left I
actually manage to call a friend, and perhaps maybe I should
just stop, uninstall, and stop ruining everything for the rest
of the players on the server.

First, I am your friend. And I always look forward to being able
to play on a game together. I really don't think anyone on the
server is looking to shove you off the server. That said, I
think it is important for everyone here to keep in mind that
many players will have different styles of gameplay and more
than likely have different things/aspects of gameplay that are
more enjoyable to them. I don't think any of us should force
our style of gameplay on another individual. We can all coexist
together. I would ask that all members please keep the
"friendly" in mind when playing on this server. If someone is
not looking for conflict, it should NOT be forced upon them.
There are others that will more than readily oblige. I really
don't want to keep this discussion going any further unless it's
tone is that of friendship and cool heads. I don't want to be
forced to "flex my muscles" on this issue nor should I have to.
We are all adults here and that is the point of not allowing
children on the server. Have fun with this game. Enjoy one
anothers company and respect each others differences. We can ALL
of us have a blast at this if we work together. Let's all chill
now. Today is a new day. :)

I completely agree and you make very valid points Admiral Fatts
- Look forward to interacting with and helping you in any way i
can in game (I am a giver)
No i am not making this reply to garner points to try to be 'PC"
that is the type of person i am - 'Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you'
Our base is open to you in any fashion needed and I am sure I
speak for the others in my group - Take BulletBkr's comments and
in game chat with a grain of salt as he is an old sarcastic fart
but loves to role play and enjoys this game very much - My other
cohort - Mayhem i have known since 1st grade - very bright guy
and extremely reasonable and logical - He will treat others as
he would like to be treated as well
We all love the hunt now and them - but honestly I enjoy the
'creation' aspect and social interaction aspect of this game the
most!
Look forward to some great gaming here!

Thank you Admiral for the reply. You most certainly should not
uninstall the game and disappear from the face of our little
pretend earth. You are not by any means ruining the game. I am
glad you clarified your meaning of "why" you are here. That
said, it seems in fact that you would be comfortable in the
"public" setting. I am also one that varies between social game
play and doing my own thing - a carbon copy of "real life" so to
speak. I was more concerned than anything else that you were
perhaps setting yourself up for further frustration - solely
based on your two posts.
So, hope to see you alive and kicking in game and not lying
ripped to shreds next to a blood-soaked pack.
