Dude, first of all
COCA COLA HAS COCAINE IN IT
coca cola was invented by the CIA to keep the black man down, to devastate the housing projects with crack babies and violent murdering drug gangs, because too many blacks were getting ahead in life after the triumph of the civil rights movement.
---
second of all, 'mommie dearest' used to be on the coca cola board. or was it the pepsi board? anyways, that kind of child beating cannot be condoned and thats why we should protest coca cola. and pepsi. they are really owned by the same corporation, did you know that?
---
third of all, i cant help it if the devs live in america. they are big boys and should have moved to canada by now, just like responsible americans such as slashdot editor michael sims, a very responsible and even headed individual.
in order to stop coca cola, we just might have to give up some things. personal sacrifice, like president bush says. whats up with this thread. dont you people love freedom?
------
godsize you have many reasonable points. maybe vendetta should try to be like NASCAR. we already have the misoginy, swearing, and drinking. all we need to add is the possibility that participants will die in a horrific fireball and take out a few fans while they are at it.
as for the iraq war, actually you can very well force me to believe what you believe. thats the whole point of war in the first place. sheesh!

David,
Please read the Wiki link. I'm afraid you've missed the point. There's a game afoot in this thread. At this point I'm not sure if Godsize lost after all...or maybe I have.

Naw, you didn't lose Forum Mod, just assumed. IF someone did 'lose', we all know who it was.
You know what they say can happen when you assume. *nudge, nudge. wink wink, say no more*

Oh god Ananzi, your speaking for us Canadians?
Ok my turn....
Coca-cola USED to have Cocaine in it. It no longer does. And your claim that it was a tool to keep black americans down is grossly untrue. Coca-cola stopped using coca extracts in their product in 1929. Not that I'm standing up for the world's best loved bubbly brown sugar water, I think its gross, and it gives me a headache. I'll stick to my usual routine of four pots and a gram a day :P
As far as the Devs living in America, when they should have moved to Canada? Why the hell are people so bent on encouraging Americans to move to Canada? A: Canada is only mildy more liberal minded these days than the states, and in many aspects falls short of the quality of social programs that the States has (at least in BC where I live, which, if you care to, you can flame all you want Anazi, you sound like a Toronto kid to me :P). Our rich vs poor ratio is as bad as many third world countries. People seem to think that Trudeau is still alive.
And one more thing for you.
"id also like to point out that the linux and mac 'bug threads' together have about 10 times as many posts in them as the windows thread...we should destroy the mac and linux branches of the game"
"ban americans from playing the game, in order to protest...microsoft..."
Bad troll, baaaaad.
To Godsize dWo:
Regarding the NHL, I disagree. I think it is BECAUSE the NHL decide to try and seduce casual hockey fans, that it is in the place where it is right now. Look at the teams that lose money. Pheonix, Tampa Bay, Nashville!!! There are very, very few "hardcore" hockey fans in these places. Bring it back to 20ish teams. Canada and the northern half of the States. Then it will do just fine.
Edit: oops, forgot to add my name....Gavan!

I see your point in regards to the NHL. You have a point there, but you kind of also proved my point in an indirect way. Those markets that have few Hardcore NHL fans are losing money, due to the fact that the NHL caters to it's hardcore fans and not the casual fans. IF the NHL were to gear it's game towards the casual fan more, then those markets you mentioned would not show a loss. They show gains in almost every other major sport those markets have teams in.
However Snax, your point is an interesting one to consider.

Right, I need to proof read my post a bit more before submitting. I guess they could do well to market the game towards the casual fans you might find in the souther states. But I don't think that the teams down there can survive without the "hardcore" fan base. They are the ones who buy the seasons tickets. The ones who buy the jerseys, etc, etc. (If you exclude the corporate schmoozers of course).
And of course, I'm biased. I live in Canada and would like to see nothing more than said teams fail miserably and re-relocate back to where they belong! and free up some very talented players who should be playing for Vancouver!!

You are right Snax, they could not survive without hardcore fans, nor can they without casual fans. You need a mix of both in any business to survive. The hardcore fans/supporters will stick with you thick and thin, and the casual fans/supporters will supply the additional revenue to keep you afloat.
However the point is mute, as Genka is indeed correct! Nothing else needs to be said imo. :)

genka, that seriously rocked. Thanks for the link. :D
Oh, and it's "the point is moot", by the way. :P

excellent genka.
Godsize, it's very refreshing to see a target take the point so well. Thanks for that.
According to several sources (although not Coke, who is mum as near as I could tell), Coke still uses an extract from the coca leaf, but there is no cocaine involved.
Genka,
You learn after many years of playing MMORPG's not to take the game or others too seriously. You also learn that the opinions of people you may never meet face to face have of you mean very little. (/me grins) However, that link was funny stuff.
Tydium,
I thought that's what it was, but it didn't look right when I typed it. Thanks for confirming it.

Funny, you SAY you learn all that, but you sure as hell don't act like it...
