Tough stance on farmers in RF Online

Seems that a group of GMs under the company title of Alchemic Dream have developed the MMO equivalent of public flogging in the Codemaster's title RF Online.

Read for yourself.

They have released a video which shows their questionable humour of such matters informing the farmers to "enjoy WoW" and other such snide remarks about other games.

There's definite humour in there approach to community management, but somethings can be taken too far, and slagging the competition (who one day may be your customer, or friends of a customer) is just not done. However, comendable action for any game to be booting out bots and farmers for the likes of IGE.

Joke time.

George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the

kids to get a little PR. After his talk he offers

question time. One little boy puts up his hand and

George asks him his name.



"Stanley," responds the little boy.



"And what is your question, Stanley?"



"I have 3 questions. First, why did the USA invade

Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why are

you President when Al Gore got more votes? And third,

whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?"



Just then, the bell rings for recess. George Bush

informs the kiddies that they will continue after

recess.



When they resume George says, "OK, where were we? Oh,

that's right: question time. Who has a question?"



Another little boy puts up his hand. George points him

out and asks him his name.



"Steve," he responds.



"And what is your question, Steve?"



"Actually, I have 5 questions. First, why did the USA

invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why

are you President when Al Gore got more votes? Third,

whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden? Fourth, why did

the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? And fifth,

what the hell happened to Stanley?"



:D cheers to Geoff for choosing funny stuff to spam.

Low Intensity Conflict - it's no game

Can you believe it? I'm not sure I can, but it looks genuine enough. Israel has developed a force-field to place on tanks which is effective against rocket propelled grenades and other low impact, high explosive devices used against tanks and helicopters.

This sounds like sci-fi, and had it not been so close to april 1st, I might be less sceptical, so check it out for yourself and make your own mind up: (sound required & worksafe)

If you don't laugh then you're not geek enough. I'll post my score later.
