My new character on Jottonia- Hira (He Is Risen – Alleluia) is now a week old. I have hardly said anything bad, had a complaint about a poor investing decision by one of the top 5 investors this round… I’m in court over that LOL! I’ve also plead guilty, so no real fun to be had :( (But there is going to be something to think about at least…)
Silverdragon has already made it his life’s work to destroy me again, I don’t actually have to say anything in the forums to be accused of bashing and trashing the place… It was me that reminded the President that it was Jottonia Day and all I get is abuse, as expected. I have mentioned Twitter, of course, and got a few people to register and follow the Jottonia twitter account. I’m hoping to convince a few more, but it’s tough going when the President is doing all he can to discredit all I say…
There are many things that have changed in my time away, again… Government is completely different apart from Silverdragon, FemaleViking, CageCrawler and Evil Inzight and even FV has returned to Gov after a period away. The population is hovering at around 220ish, the game has so much more potential than that, but it needs those with the power to listen to those with the knowledge and that won’t happen easily. The impression is that SilverDragon is scared of growth, or doesn’t want growth, and I can’t understand why he refuses to listen to reason.
One of the new Government members is Rodklieven as MoDA. The first thing he has done is call an election, to be perfectly honest there wasn’t a lot else he could do as Parliament was dead. He has a tough job of reviving politics though since SilverDragon pretty much killed any power Parliament had during my last attempt at making changes in Jottonia. I really hope that Rod can do something with Politics in Jottonia though because they are an integral part of the game and should be used by more players, IMHO.
On the stock trading front, yeah I ain’t doing great but I’m rather busy in RL too… I have made 850 million or so. I started with 27 mill and had around 100 mill in Jegas winnings so not done too badly I suppose but not done fantastic either. Not really that bothered, I was already miles behind when I joined so am hoping for a top 20 finish this round then going for a WT next time.
The activity in the forums seem to be focused on Pinto’s, with theology/religion being a much talked about topic. Other than that it’s just SilverDragon ripping the shit out of anybody that dares to speak out against him, and those that don’t but have in the past i.e. me and NoGood. Of course, people don’t see the President as being the bully that he is, they see the upset victims retaliating and join in with the bullying (as is usual in most bullying cases…). I am refusing to bite to the baiting, sticking instead to the topic or just not responding at all.
Jottonia is great fun to play ordinarily, unfortunately it’s made hard for those that want to share it and improve it by the President and his cronies. Such is life; the bully always has a group of ‘followers’ that are usually just fearful for themselves so tend to side with the bully. That just makes it harder for those that want to change/improve/grow the game; one hopes that one day Neo will choose to read the forums for himself instead of listening to the BS that SilverDragon spouts daily, then we might see Jottonia grow.
I’ll keep you updated but in the meantime, don’t forget to twitter!
