This is strange but today I felt(just for a little) How was that to be a famous)
I came to this forum a year ago and I think until yesterday 99,99999....9% people from this forum know that I even exist, but everything changed when TMAN mentioned me on this thread with (~) . I wrote more than 450 posts but I was observed only for 4 messages in one thread. These messages were from 75-90 messages that marlboroza described as "#75 - 90 discussing trust system, merit abuse, farming accounts, trading accounts etc". That close to the point. I didn't called to put (~) to everyone, I don't have any personal problems with anyone from this thread. I just thought about 4 things on these 4 messages when I wrote them 2 days ago :
1) What is that new trust system about? What is that mean for everyone? what changes it carries. I did my trust list without any ~ sign cause I didn't have motive to do that. I didn't make any deals, any personal issue or something. I didn't have any motive to use ~ for anyone and I didn't. I didn't know about Lauda of TMAN before this thread or why I got on their list with ~.
In general I'm searching on Russian local cause this is easy for me, this is my native language. Technical thread on English terra incognita for me. Most of us do the same, not many people know Ehglish well. Most of people here forget that we read about new rules not from theymos, but from translator and for most of us this is not easy to understand about, cause not everyone knows English perfectly and and of course everyone in the translation have their own interpretations. If we didn't make this thread in Russian local most of the people from our local even didn't know that something changed.
2) Curious that there was so many negative feedback for TheFuzzstone , cause most of people before this new trust system didn't know that he even exist. What he did wrong for these people? Curios also about taikuri13 cause he was deleted after TheFuzzstone as his enemy of people(вpaг нapoдa) . This is very popular term here in times of political repression in the 30s of the 20th century.
3) I mentioned that usually people (from the world) think that we (Russian-Soviet) think and act equally and that we don't have our own opinion. Usually people think this is cause we have 70 years of communism, but I mentioned that people from English local act much more cohesive, almost unconditionally follow behind the leader and that we still have to learn this. We are just noobs on this, cause we are just students, though not the worst, but rather follow the English threads than organize trends themselves, most of the good topics, it's just translations from English thread. Although we learned well and we(Russian local) made some good things too.
4) I mentioned that "Lauda's people" well learned how effective are the Sulla's proscriptions was. If someone interesting you can read about that more when you'll have time.
For a very small part of myself I felt what was carried by the proscriptions of Sulla. When you can see your name on this proscription list just cause you were mentioned as a person that have "bad political stance" or too good a Villa on Capri.
Unfortunately, despite globalization and freedom of opinion, sometimes we are still dominated by mentality, language barrier, mental patterns. Anyway there are some good sides of this situation and one of this that now more people try to understand about this new trust-system and start think about that more. More people will begin to understand more deeply in the forum, as most of they did when merit system came first time. So if someone read this message Don't listen to anyone. This should be your opinion and remember that you only you are responsible for the consequences of your decision.
and I think I should read book about Sulla again, one more time. With each new reading, it seems to me that Caesar's opponents, when they call him "the murderer of the Republic", simply do not study enough the history and prerequisites for the emergence of certain events.
English is not my native language so hope you'll excuse me for my grammar mistakes.
