30 player TDM on Shipment. Now that was chaos.

30 player TDM on Shipment. Now that was chaos.

Based on some of the arguments: 16 active players. 1 yay 0 nay. The yay has it skip the map. Not even “yay’s”. If this is unfair, 1 player deciding for all, but requiring 9 players (%55 more or less) is also unfair, what’s your number in between that is fair? %25? %15?
And who picks this number? 🤔
Oh yea, the same people that picked %51. Never mind.

Despite my first thought on seeing that and how to respond, I'm not going there.

To paraphrase Orwell. All players are equal but some players are more equal than others.

Unless I am mistaken, removing a map from someone elses rotation isnt done unless there is something actually wrong with it. Meaning buggy or glitchy. Not because some other players dont like it and make a fuss until they get appeased. Peace in our time. Rejoice.
The answer has always been that if you dont like it, make your own rotation and submit it. But perhaps times have changed and "dont like it, dont play it" has today become "dont like it, ensure nobody can play it".
Perhaps every potential rotation should first be posted in an open forum thread. Then debate and take a vote whether or not to add it, or alter it. Then there will be no need to hold in-game skip votes and it can be shut off, so to speak.  That should be fun.😛

Are you saying watching porn isnt constructive? Im not offering a 'yes' or 'no' and thus not voting. Just asking the question. 😜

Our last six presidents. One Yale. One Georgetown and Yale. One Yale and Harvard.  One Columbia and Harvard. One went to Wharton Business. One to Syracuse.
Lots of Yale and expensive Ivy League in general. Yet, going to Yale and Harvard have as we have seen produced vastly different presidents. It was how they were raised, their families, and their experiences that defined how they governed not their schools. However, schools are a favorite punching bag because its easier to focus on them than families and how kids were raised.

It wasnt enough for me to call it vetted and verified.  As I said, as a rule dont trust %99 of the Internet. In the case of your post, it was of course to make a point about 'wokeness'. However the inclusion of Netflix and their buyout changes the whole story and the point you were making regarding it. Clan posts, just people chatting. But if it comes from talking heads and their spinmeister guests speaking to millions every day, fact averse Internet 'influencers', or political trolls thats another matter. Too many of those assholes.
Then again, to put this whole stupid issue to rest (as if), how many times was The Bible rewritten, a little or entirely, for the entire religion? And why did they do it? And was it for their benefit? Or for the faithful masses? If you feel it was ok to alter The Bible from the original texts from long ago then why not a work of fiction? Unless you are a Scientologist and their story of how we all came to be.

In any case, here is another story regarding the same publisher. A little different this time since the author in question is very much alive. And he doesnt approve of any such changes. Since Yahoo is a news aggregator, I dont know the original source. So to follow my own rule, this one article isnt enough to be taken as the full truth.

To quote a line from it that shows... at least to me... that for the publisher its about the money. Not any semblance of 'wokeness'.
"Sensitivity readers were hired to scrutinize the text with parts rewritten for a modern audience, to ensure the books “can continue to be enjoyed by all today,” Puffin said."
Meaning in plain English: 'We paid money to an outside group few have ever heard of to help us sell the most books to the widest audience possible.' The question is... if they did say it in plain English, as a business, would they be right?
 

One mans cheater is another mans genius.

So... synopsis: you'd like some ass play.

‘Suggested’? Meaning there is no actual proof just suggestions? And the ones interviewed are themselves commentators not people that are actually involved? Sorry but until there is proof then this is no different than ‘some people say’.
Come back when something is actually published or the publisher releases a statement about the issue. By now we should all know that %99 of what we see and read on the internet is bullshit. Don’t be one of them and ask for more after taking a big whiff. 🤢
That said, *if* it’s true, it’s pretty god dammed stupid. 

Is it the special 'Bunny Hopping' edition 😁?

Just to note, Epic this past week shut down the master servers for all the UT games. So servers have to be joined via IP, or there are a couple community run options. SP is unaffected. Also, they shut down the UT5 alpha game as well.
