>1. You guys will never be able to secure an entire shard.
Agreed to an extent.
1. We could claim a whole shard with one or two allies with us, depending on the size of the shard (definitely a small one).
2. Depending on the portal type, we most likely can't 'secure' it to an extent that others can't get in.
>2. Attempting to lock down or secure a shard will alienate people especially if you do it very early on.
I feel this only applies if we try to claim a whole shard ALONE. The whole 'claiming one shard for ourselves by ourselves' thing was only really considered when we thought for whatever reason shards were going to be like 1-1.5k radius.
>3. Beginning of the map will probably be shitty but there's no need to be so paranoid over raiders. Civcraft is a server people actually care about and are invested in, they don't want to get pearled for shit they did in the beginning of the map. If people fuck with you, screenshot everything and keep evidence. Use that against them later on and pearl them.
Agreed
>4. People don't care about you guys as much as you think. Just don't act like autistic memers in serious situations and stop being so retarded.
Agreed
>5. Don't enable shitters. Please remember Darkcrow, Kallak, Kompound, etc
For one, I don't think Darkcrow, Kallak, or Kompound were that bad. Darkcrow and Kallak got into trouble early on but they did manage to become a good part of Polynesia and then /k/. Kompound literally didn't do anything to hurt the rest of Chanada until their suicide. I personally view Syncrates as one of the best leaders in 2.0, but not necessarily for in-game actions as his reign was too short and I don't know that much about his decisions. Syncrates was a great leader because I go on to their mumble once every other week or so (please give me permission to enter your chat if you're reading this k guys :'( ) and I see the same group of people still playing different games together. Syncrates was great because he managed to turn a group of people disgruntled and disillusioned with civcraft and most of Chanada into a community that still plays games together to this day. Though imo they shouldn't have banned people like ras from their mumble a bit childish tbh.
Furthermore, in terms of actual shitters, what could we do to 'not enable' them? Thinking back on it all there's only one shitter that we could have done anything to 'prevent' and that was Jasiel. Most shitters end up shitting before we could realistically do anything about it.
>6. Don't focus too heavily on PvP, not everyone has to be a PvPer.
Most of the population should be doing a few PvP matches a day. There's no detriment to that and it will only strengthen us.
>8. The whole idea of 8chan vs 4chan will kill you guys.
Agreed. I'd change this more to 'the whole idea of us vs them' because it can be applied in many more scenarios. Like us vs reddit.
