this guy had some good thoughts a few weeks ago but now i swear all hes doing is trolling. he is worse then the pandemic ppl at least they seem to have calmed down by now
First, we don't even know if it's a reportable offense to fence in a homesteader yet.
To Xidian: Humans are nasty horrid little creatures. If you want to bring in reality, lets talk reality. In a situation like this, slavery would immediately arise (by whatever name it would be called). Brutality, genocide, theft, simple homicide, all of those would immediately deplete the population even further.
Hey, I was a history major, I understand how things really work. And now I'd like to play a game. What are games? Well, just like books and movies, they are means of escaping ugly reality.
If you want realistic, don't play games.
I love analogies, so I'll play along. Yay!
Here is my take on the steakhouse. We both go to Ruth Chris, but I'm with a birthday party of 20 people. You're flying solo, taking up a 4 top that means the restaurant now has 3 empty seats. All 21 of us order the same steak. Now, the waiter realizes he's getting a bigger tip from the 20 top, so guess what...we are probably gonna get our drinks refilled a little faster & our plates brought out a little quicker. However, you'll get your steak too. And it'll probably be just as delicious as mine. We all get tasty vittles, but you are just gonna have to accept the reality of the situation that your $10 tip is not quite as important to the waiter as the $200 tip my party is gonna drop.
Ok, you can now proceed to tell me what an ass I am & how I should stop posting on the forums today because you GET IT. Let the games begin!!! HEY OHHH!!! <Anchorman reference ftw>

I'm going to go watch a movie with my husband who also has an account and eat some spam. Because from the looks of things I better learn to like it.
Good day to you Sirs........ I said good day!
That, or spam eating homesteaders are going to have to learn to stalk and murder tribe members whereever we can, whenever we can on one account, while keeping a second account for our crafters to be safe in.
Tribes aren't the only sneaky bastards who can exploit allowed game mechanics.
And I detest spam, so I guess I'm coming to steal your steak, bishes.
I think that the reason most of us would like reality (to a point) is some of the benefits that come it it IE: politics. And all those things you mentioned to Xidian is the reason we have our societies the way they are now. Unfortunately these influences can not be reproduced in a game or at least the emotion from it.
