It's about time. I've been running around yelling my face off about this whole thing for months, but they all turn their noses up at me and go back to sit AFK in their holes "basing"...

I'm gonna try not to get too lengthy with this, but my adrenaline is pumping and I have a lot to say. I'm quitting this flaming piece of crap soon anyways, so it'll be the last time you have to hear some actual Whippy logic. Pay attention, please.

First of all, GAMES ARE MEANT TO BE PLAYED.

^ I don't think kids today realize this. They're all out for the easy life. When someone literally asks for donations in a VIDEO GAME, I just die... what's the matter, kid? You can't even play your own video game anymore? Are you THIS lazy that you have to have someone else play it for you? The Earth is literally doomed if we keep allowing our children to have this mentality... I live in the USA, and thought "Oh, 'Murica kids are just spoiled rotten while the rest of the world is raising their kids dirt poor, but with moral and value."- WRONG. Graal has made me realize that this entire smart-phone era is warping THE WORLD. In fact, sorry but (not biased- truthful), American kids aren't even close to the worst I've met in this game.

I digress.

Games are meant to be played. I grew up, sitting in the floor, playing Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt with my little brother... we'd play for an hour or two, and after not saving the princess for the 100th time, we'd go outside and play some kick ball with our friends... Video games were a luxury, and we didn't abuse it. Graal promotes abuse- this corrupt basing system, and the players who participate in it, are promoting abuse. Succumbing to the system. It's sucking away our lives for nothing.

What happened to "Let's throw down in Super Smash Bros. for 15mins while dinner is cookin', and then get back to our lives." ?

1,500 hours base time = 62 and 1/2 days of your life gone.

Who can blame kids for holing up together with such a crumby task at hand?- They are finished conquering each other- they are conquering the game. Silence is conquering the game- sure, they are ruining the fun- sure they've turned this glorious "3-base" system into an actual 2-base system... but to be perfectly blunt, it's ALWAYS been a 3-base system, and at the end of the day, you can't blame them.

"5-base" System:

MH = Knife Party
TS = Silence
BF = Muffin's army
BW = Some kinda OP gang consisting of Mexico, Brazil, Philippines
Bank = A cluster of nab gangs

^ So in reality, with MH and TS completely off-limits, I call THIS the actual "3-base" system.

This game is turning kids into raging lunatics. When you literally get mocked for logging out to do something irl, it's a problem. So unless you continue to want THIS to occur:

Silence Peace: Guala, Risque, Saith
Guala Peace: Silence, Risque
Risque Peace: Saith, Silence, Guala
Saith Peace: Silence, Risque

^ I'll give it to you in clearer terms:

Silence: Attacks no one
Guala: Attacks Saith
Risque: Attacks no one
Saith: Attacks Guala

Clear enough for you? Do you wish to know MY mentality?...

5uicide 5quad: Attacks EVERYONE lol, and peace with a few nab gangs to make them feel validated; maybe pick up a few straggler members here or there.

^ THIS is playing the game... THIS is the ONLY reason I joined SS. Believe me- I had offers from the "big guys"... but after trying it- didn't work for me at all:

"OMG LIKE OMG SILENCE ASKED ME TO BE LEAD... LIKE OMG... *walks in base* HELLO FAM, WHIPPY IS HERE TO LOVE YOU!!!... chat... sit, chat... crack off a few jokes... play with some toys..... go AFK... go AFK... go AFK..... leave*

*sigh

I'm getting long-winded, I know. Sorry, but if you can spend 1,000 hours of your life shooting other kids in a box, you can at least hear me out, right?

I feel the same way about basing as I do about weapons. Sure, guys, working for rewards is cool, but listen... THE GAME IS GOING TO IMPLODE UPON ITSELF.

I SAY TO YOU AGAIN.

THE GAME. IS GOING. TO IMPLODE. ON ITSELF.

How? How, Whippy, how?

Just like you chuckle heads had to nerf the GP staffs TWICE, you're gonna have to do the EXACT same thing to ALL of the GP/HS weapons... because SOONER OR LATER, EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE FLIPPING GAME IS GOING TO OWN ONE... an entire game of players, running around with Crystal Bows & Nature Destroyers.

And THAT is inevitable logic, my friends.

I have still, after 2,000+ hours of my time here, refused to buy into this garbage. I can tell you, even back in the day, when GP staffs could melt entire cities, I refused... a quote from a random admirer: "Whippy, you were always my favorite staff user because you never used it against noobs."

Sure sure, I use my stupid Turkey Blaster nowadays when things get hot... but I never abuse it. Especially seeing as how everyone hates 5uicide 5quad, and we've had an infinite supply of adolescents jumping down our throats 24/7 for the past year, I don't feel that a little gobble-gobble-gobble hurts anyone lol...

At the end of the day, I don't believe in it, and I refuse to give in to this "Spam-you-to-death-because-I-can't-aim" ideology.

This brings me to my second fix:

No HS weapons, No GP weapons, No shotguns.

^ Let's see how many "pros" we have after that change, eh?... Oh, don't worry about me- I like to gobble-gobble kids just as much as the next guy, but I had much rather be weaving through bullets with my .45 (and we can't play like this- we can't play like actual pros- we can't PLAY the game with "Johnny and Suzy No-Skill" crouched over in the corner, hammering out 50-bullet-spam waves- because their ignorance/conscience allows them to- while the semi-adults are over here .45-ing it)...

^Again, let's see how many "pros" we have with such a drastic change as this.

"But Whippy, what will happen to Events and Basing with no HS/GP guns?"

Simple, aimgos... OP toys & Weapon Skins.

Let that sink in for a sec...

Example:
If at holidays, there was a Halloween Sovereign Bow skin... instead of some kinda-meh bow with kinda-different stats that will either be forgotten, or used for a week, nerfed and THEN forgotten *cough* Ghost Staff *cough*.

Makes 0 sense.

Translation: Less work for developers + same amount of work for GFX artists.

^plus, even I would actually start buying holiday weapon skins... HECK NO I don't want a lousy ".45" knock off Christmas gun that I'll throw away after 2 hours and go back to using my .45, BUT I'D LITERALLY USE A CHRISTMAS .45 WEAPON SKIN LIKE A MOFO, ALL YEAR BABY!!!... and guys, I think everyone would agree with me here.

This allows the developers to really focus on the game mechanics- get it correct ONE TIME, and move on from there... because I play the game. I feel such a strong validity in the .45, the Sovereign Bow, the Carcano Rifle, the Boomerang, Staffs... all very core, very valid gameplay flavors. Less is more.

Ask yourselves this:

Would you not do Events for a totally hot rare toy?

Would you not earn GP for a totally hot Rainbow gif Carcano Rifle skin?

*sigh again lol...

I have many more ideas about how to actually fix this game (instead of Band-Aiding it to death) and promote a healthy system for developers and players alike. And many ideas more, I'm positive, that I can conceive if I just took the time.

I want to see your thoughts as well. I apologize for the length of this article, but I am a writer (sorry kids, I'm not actually a Pink Bear irl lol)- it's what I do.

^ I've been hated on for being myself in this respect, so unless you read the entirety of my words, please, don't waste the 60 seconds replying to me with a "Pfft", " Zzz", or "Too long to read".

(I've also posted this as a reply to Orange's Basing changes).

And lastly, I apologize if a bit of my frustration showed through- I refuse to edit my thoughts, because nothing drastic can happen unless we have a little red flag-waving going on here.

Love,

-Whippy
