i also respect barney due to the fact he is one of the ONLY players that actually goes indepth into the argument and almost always has a valid point(s) to his statements which is why i read almost every message he leaves.(sorry but some of them are just to damn long xD)

Message From Mr. Barny


Back to message list

Mr. Barny (1/29/2011 12:59:43 AM) GOOD BAD
Hey there Mcmax, it's me Barny. I recently read a post where you say that my support of using Armageddon to control the spell itself has caused you to lose all respect for me. I respect you greatly as a player and member of the community, and I certainly wouldn't want to lose your respect.

I wrote a book-like response to your comment, it isn't a hostile or aggressive post, it was made to examine the morales and ethics present in VU's mechanics and the community itself.

Overall, what you think is very important. The usage of Armageddon and other spells that have recent become more popular has changed the game quite a lot, and I am interested in hearing your opinion on the matter, as well as the ethical concerns that accompany said spells.
You (1/31/2011 9:19:13 AM)
With Bogdans 3rd Arma-cast, I don't care for the game anymore.

I'm pulling out of active gameplay.

You (1/31/2011 8:21:15 AM)
Glass Joe wants to join your kingdom; Dark Side. This is his reason to join:
Hello Mr. Binh. I would like to apply to your kingdom because I want a black banner. My name is Glass Joe. My other nicks include Soda Popinski (Zetamania) and Don Flamenco (Mantrax). I have many eras experience.
Mr. Binh The Pokemon Master (1/31/2011 10:37:17 PM) GOOD BAD
Who are you? Barny's long posts bores me. lol


17:05:46 Jan 31st 11 - Mr. Paragor:

don flamenco? the one who settled in the middle of an ally's production core?


17:09:51 Jan 31st 11 - Mr. Binh The Travelling Merchant:

lol at the message editing.


17:17:08 Jan 31st 11 - Mr. Don Flamenco:

mr. paragor.  Yes, I settled there.  But it is not ROC's production core.  It's part of your extended core.  How can I travel 24-35 ticks away and still manage to put a mining city before anyone of your kd mates (except for the Orc near the mountains) if that is your production core?  And I made sure to build far enough from the orc guy.  The halfling guy built his cities close to me.  Not your core.  Not my problem. :P


17:17:42 Jan 31st 11 - Mr. Don Flamenco:

or we can simply put screenshots here to prove our points?


00:20:56 Feb 1st 11 - Mr. William Unawesome:

Don Flamenco, that is our core period. AoA would stay south of our city's and you didn't. nuff said.


02:28:10 Feb 1st 11 - Ms. Tress Mayhem:

such as? care to let us know now?

If you mean to say that I support the exploitation of unintended game mechanics for self gain, then that right there is the antithesis of everything that I actually believe. With the most recent changes to the game, some terrible bugs have been introduced, and I am sure that in due time the community will find out about them and the game will be ruined for everyone, moreso if the community does not respond to people abusing them.


so who is using this Barny? I'd like to know because I'm getting really shitty dice rolls these days

Visual Utopia is a game full of grey areas. Some aspects of the game and exploits are cut and dry, if a player uses a bug to lock the dice in place and guarantee that a certain dice roll is produced, it is extremely clear exploitation of a bug and it should be frowned upon. It's obviously not an intended game mechanic, and it produces a clear and undeniable advantage.


16:55:29 Feb 1st 11 - Mr. Barny:

No one is using it yet because few people understand how dice rolls were changed or how many bugs exist these days. It isn't exactly complicated, people will find out about the plethora of bugs that were recently brought into the game. These days it is even possible to cast a spell at X magic power, and have the losses be the same for a different spell at X magic power.


Before any of the retards who think that exp feeding is acceptable and ensuring that an era goes on for 40 days is not acceptable try to insult me by asking why I have not reported these bugs, I have. Obviously I didn't post in the Bugs and Errors forums because if I did, people would abuse the bugs. I messaged Zeta about all the bugs that I am aware of.

I am sure you can imagine how that went.


22:54:07 Feb 1st 11 - Ms. Tress Mayhem:

Yeah I can :(

Keep bugging him though (pun intended) to fix them.

01:08:58 Feb 2nd 11 - Lord Gilth:

The Stalin Award for Most Ruthless: Music


I'm pretty sure that aside from the 4 cheaters (who were the only ones able to barely even hurt ROC), there were only like 2-3 players in Music who actually did anything.


10:17:39 Feb 2nd 11 - Lord Gilth:

Yup!

But we managed to take more kills than you guys, so we're most ruthless.


11:08:27 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Angry Turtle:

You are right, we should have remedied the situation by having a 3rd party feed us kills.


11:26:55 Feb 2nd 11 - Lord Gilth:

That would've been a solution. Or you could've invaded Pawer, canceled their arma, cast your own arma and canceled that one. Cast a new one, canceled that one too. Cast another one and maybe, if needed, cancel that one too...

More than enough time to finish your wars and get some extra kills...


12:14:03 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Detoxx:

Barny, i got 800k+ kills from Roc in 4 days, i dont really think you can say that we barely hurt Roc, if  only 1 music player did that


12:47:17 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Barny:

My statements were more of inarticulate trolling attempts then anything, I wanted to poke fun at Music for 3 of their 4 cheaters placing in the top 4 and the other not being far behind. The affects were very noticeable on more then just the score board, it pretty much fucked up the whole era for everyone.



03:14:03 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Detoxx:

Barny, i got 800k+ kills from Roc in 4 days, i dont really think you can say that we barely hurt Roc, if  only 1 music player did that


Kills are by far the least relevant of all of the fearsome statistics, but you also had the most battle wins and battles fought, I won't argue with the fact that you did really well this era. But notice that I said that aside from the cheaters only "2 or 3" players in Music actually did anything.

Qassim (Detox), Freddy (Fred). Those are the only 2 Music players that did not cheat that really did anything of value.

Damn you Gilth. I am 2 times on the list :S


19:52:57 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Xanatos The Crazy:

where do you find those stats?


20:13:57 Feb 2nd 11 - Lord Gilth:

@ Legend: You deserve them!

@ Xanatos: click 'High Score' -> scroll down -> click 'Mantrax age 5'


20:46:47 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Xanatos The Crazy:

aha! thank you


22:26:12 Feb 2nd 11 - Mr. Hopeless:

@ Gilth: I wasn't farming. I was collecting troops to attack AoA but KoH killed them already in the east. And then I wanted to move north east. And there were all those 500k music armies :s


The Sarah Palin award for "I don't know what the hell this is  but I'll participate anyways" (biggest idiot on the forums): Legend ;-)

Pff... I ain't a female. And I know where I am talking about. And I don't believe I raged on the Mant forum :s So that's a infailed point...

have to say Pawerfulls tactics weren't bad (annoying though) - settle in an easily defended area, then just cast arma and sit back and wait


12:41:44 Feb 3rd 11 - Puppy Bunny Guard:

It wasn't our original plan though. We actually wanted to go toe-to-toe with you guys. lol
