/civ/ - CivCraft

I've seen so many groups come and go in my time playing games that eventually you come to realize that in the end, it's a natural process. Just as the leaves fall and the ground is covered with snow, then the first daffodils pop up practically through the melting drifts in the spring, a community grows, fades, dies, then is revived. So long as there is still fun and games to be had, no community is ever truly dead, sometimes you just need to clear away the mess and let the new sprouts grow. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that /V/iridian could be revived at some point and quite easily, bringing the long winter to an end.

>>32935

This might just be me, but you could restart a /v/ based town in Viridian with a minority of players who actually lived in Viridian, but I don't think it would be Viridian, I think the time, place and people who lived in the original town define it, I doubt it can be recreated or adequately replaced, and that's needed for it to be truly called "Viridian"

>>32934

Feels good to watch them live.

>>32936

Yes and no. Groups change with time, just look at /Pol/ynesia. Of the original group, only immer and camo remain active and my generation is basically gone, although a few remain. Outcast is one of the few left of his generation as well. With each coming wave, the country changes and new experiences leave people with different perceptions of what /Pol/ynesia is.

Were /V/iridian revived, it wouldn't be the same community, but frankly why would you want the same community? If the people of a town allow it to die off like /V/iridian did (and don't say they didn't, /V/ersailles and Tazmily both are /v/ towns recruited from /v/) why would you WANT them to be the leaders and basis of the community that comes in their stead? There are two types of communities ingame: those that train the next generation for leadership and the inevitably necessary revival of the community, and those that stick themselves in a mold and refuse to allow the community to develop naturally, instead allowing it to calcify and die. This is also another primary difference between Chanada and the HKE. (I guess the fact that /V/iridian shilled so fucking hard to join them is just icing on the cake to prove that much.)

>>32941

Yeah but with /pol/ it's a tidal effect, new players come in as old ones leave, it wouldn't be like that in Viridian, the ocean has dried up, there are no tides going in or out, it cannot be refilled and then claim to have the same roots, and if doesn't share the same roots, what's the point?

I think in the end what's over is over, I have been an official citizen of every single dead chanadian nation, bar Aki, though I did live and work there for a month. Correlation is not Causation

See you Space Cowboys

Resin is also an idiot that doesn't know what he's talking about, much like you right now.

>>32941

out of all the chan groups, you would think the /v/irgins would be the most successful chan community in minecraft..

>>32944

why do you have the knack of taking history lessons from people who literally didn't play and have no idea what they're talking about

I saw resin online maybe 3 times during my time in viridian

>>32955

The problem is recruitment. /V/, /b/, /a/, and /r9k/ are all very hard to recruit on, largely because in the case of the first two people are bored of minecraft. In the case of /a/, the mods are awful and ban recruitment threads, and on /r9k/ there is too much competition with other servers.

>>32958

Okay: Why did /V/iridian die and did it sustain its 90 people online at once for longer than a few days? The story I always heard from more than just Resin was that /V/iridian's population didn't last very long and that it collapsed down to about 20 active and continued to dwindle after that point. I remember that even when I first visited, there were maybe eight or so still around, but the quitting of Dave and a few failed political endeavors finally put it down.

We could have saved you

Why didn't you stop it

>>32963

Original /v/iridian member here.

Resin really ruined the experience for a -lot- of, myself included. We were barely established before his holy war faggotry got started. He seriously made the whole experience awful.

>>32984

You can see my fucking walls expand and all the goddamn work I did over time.

Not everybody knows I was there from the beginning too but goddamn I put the effort in.

We're not on reddit, you are allowed to call them oldfags. No one is going to ban you.

>>33016

kovio is the cancer that killed versilly

>>33022

Kovio and Reiko are annoying, cancerous fucks in general but that was their worst offense.

They were the ones that killed Versailles and I will never forgive them for that.

>>33022

>>33083

I'll rob you every day till i fucking die you faggot reddit shit.

actually im sorry. I really just didnt want to put in more effort to find mats to build and do stuff so i robbed peoples houses who i thought were really inactive. When you logged on and noticed I decided to damage control and then the whole prioma thing happened to my advantage and thats when i stopped caring much.

so yeah, sorry.

>>33089
