Something I don't like about the community

I don't get this "Minecrafting" term. I stayed at base as a builder to make some factories and build our base to make sure it withstands more than one bomb, but apparently that's "Minecrafting". Since i dislike minecraft and found the term slightly offensive, i then learned what the term meant. :(


Isn't building your base a part of the game? Shouldn't you have at least a decent stone tower?

 

Thanks for the response. I'll keep that in mind on my next round of KAG. ;)

I understand now. I'm happy to finally understand what they mean. Next round, i'm going to make a base within build time, and then help the push by making some boats.. :)

 

You've been around for over a month already, how have you not noticed the builders that spend all the time working on the main castle? The thing is, any time the front line is not at your doorstep, any effort put into building the main castle is wasted, because it's not being used. There's a mode for that, it's called creative. Creative players wasting space on a team in any other mode are dead weight. These players are referred to as Minecrafters, because that's basically what they are playing. In spite of this action going on, they dig away for stone and hack away at trees, all to build up their house. And that's it.

Your time could be better spent making far more shorter, thinner walls that still hold back enemy knights without builder support and can be spammed everywhere and upgraded as necessary, or by going up with a knight push and making lots of ladders and team bridges to help them. If you manage to make it over their wall along with the knights, then you can prevent the enemy from climbing their own wall, convert their wall to your own (replacing team doors and bridges), or just destroy it outright. Any one of these options is far more effective than reinforcing the one wall that's least likely to be attacked.

 

Look, i read your post, but i've already been answered.

Also, i've been playing KAG longer than i've had a forum account, buddy. :)

 

Why are you proud of that, being here longer? That's just all the more reason you should've caught on already.

Also, this is a public forum. If you only want one answer, private message your question / comment to one player. Otherwise, don't complain when others show up. Welcome to the internet.

Finally, I'm not your buddy, guy.

 

Minecrafting is okay on creative servers. On any other, your building should have some purpose.

 

To put a concise, formal definition to this neologism I would go with something like:

Minecrafting is building for the purpose of self-gratification without benefit to one's team.

This can take the form of building structures that are functionally valid but are not in a useful position or by building decorative or otherwise functionless structures regardless of location. Minecrafting is viewed by some as essentially griefing because you are taking stone, wood, and your playerslot and expending these resources in behaviours that fail to aid your team.

While this kind of behaviour gets a bad rap I personally don't mind it at all. Public matches are silly casual things and minecrafters make good fodder for my sword. It is annoying when you lose because of an excess of minecrafters but generally speaking the distribution of minecrafters will be equal to both teams.

 

Shouldn't this be in the BETA general discussion?

 

Also lol of all the failings of the kag community this is what you make a thread about

 

Do NOT like this post. Let him suffer. Let his screams of agony echo in the wind as his L:P ratio becomes inferior to every forum being.

Saying "oh Contrary is only likefarming" is the most popular likefarm.

 

I like how the thread was about the "bad community',or just something a guy doesn't like,and now we are all talking about Contrary's posts.
