Victoria 2

And I got an infraction on top of that.  I knew the douche was a moderator, but since he didn't use the obnoxious font while saying obnoxious things, I thought he was voicing his opinion as a true believer rather than as a mod.  Oh, well, running afoul of that thought police is a badge of honor.

Oddly, I didn't.

It sure makes me nostalgic about the dark times at Paradox that gave rise to Languish.  I think my first ban from Paradox was also for comments made in the Vicky forums, although given that BiB was the one trying to explain the reason, I was never quite sure about it.

I'm working on a second one.  I pointed out privately to Dark whatever that he didn't use the mod font, so I'm sure that the next couple of infraction points are already in the works.  Rebel whacking is how they deal with dissent over there.

OHGamer is gonna rape you.

[DGuller]

At least he'll have the courtesy of doing that with a special font.

Wow, that was quick.  My post has already been deleted.  They sure are fast with some things at Paradox, even if making a playable game isn't one of them.

What was your post?

[Kleves]

What was your post?

Although perhaps not quite the direction I would have gone in, I'm very excited to see what Paradox has in store for Victoria! Nice work, guys!

Warning: insufficiently adulatory.

Ah, the Stalinization path.

Really, that's trolling? Did reactionaries just take control of the mod team and scale back free speech reforms? I think it's very well-known fact that Vicky 2 already has a design far ahead of the Paradox's ability to balance it, and make it work properly over the game's entire time span. I think it's a very valid concern that even more complicated design can make the situation worse. Sorry if critical comments dampen the enthusiasm that this thread is designed to drum up, but censoring the valid concerns is hardly going to help the game.

Apparently that was considered to be "arguing moderator decision".

Too bad this is still so messed up. Vicky was one of my favorite nation/economy building games.

[Habbaku]

That'll show ya.

Watch out or that mod will make you Gandhi.

To be fair any mention of "free speech" when discussing moderation on an internet forum should be grounds for a temp ban in any event.

He's quite clearly using Victoria terminology to make a crack there, not actually talking about "free speech."

I stand by my point.
