@redeastwood#17570 I think this is a bit of an oversimplification of the issue to simply proclaim that a two-state solution isn't viable. Personally I think it's the best outcome that can come via negotiation, which is why groups like Hamas want it as well. idk. im not smart enough on the subject to have a truly well-informed opinion.

If people like the reaction game, then I don't see a reason why not to supplement with this.

I personally think both games are stupid, but I'm just a grumpy old lady.

@Shdwo#17569 what is the point of reactions? Do people find them fun?

Why?

@redeastwood#17425 Palestine has sought out to sort the "disagreement" democratically. Hamas has even outright said they'd accept a Palestinian state with 1967 borders, but Israel has since moved the goalpost. The establishment of Israeli settlements in the occupied terrirtories are illegal under international law alongside violating the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Palestinian groups have tried to meet with Israel in terms of a solution, but notice that each time the party unwilling to negotiate is the Israeli government. The only reason why Israel continues to be "allowed" to commit these atrocities is because they are the US' foothold in the Middle East, which is why movements such as BDS have spurred up as a result of this relationship. Israel has (is) basically forming an Apartheid state like South Africa in the 90s. And this system was brought down in part by social movements like BDS outside of South Africa.

I honestly can't fault Palestinians or Hamas for reacting the way they do. Of course violence is never the answer, but the constant pressure from Israel has certainly been a giant pain the ass.

@billy7oblos#17418 No? Israel has accepted the - idea - behind a Palestinian state, but has not accepted the legality (in terms of e.g. borders and statehood).

If Israel accepted Palestine as a state, then why would they be fighting when the focal point of this conflict is Palestinian statehood.

@simplynick#17438 idk what you've read, but Israel's existence is due to the british government. Doesn't get much simpler than that.

If war was to take place then Palestine and potential allies would be obliterated thus sparking WW3. Israel is the strongest military presence in the ME with by far the strongest ally in regards to the US (and by extension NATO member states).

Peace negotiations should be done via the international community. Israel (and the US) should stop breaching the same treaties they've signed. Sadly, the international community is nothing compared to the US, so pretty hard to sanction the US lol.

Generic style appeals to generic public

@redeastwood#17406 wtf?

Palestine is not a "legitimate state" per general understanding. Its a de jure state, but Palestine cannot legally be considered a state under international law.

@Miwojedk#17333 What I'm saying, is that our server has always been viewed as "everyone's equal", and this suggestion would no longer make this a thing. Yes, cosmetic perks also bring some sort of differentiation between players, but they're just that: cosmetic. If you bring in a whole new title to simply show that you've been a good boy and voted, then you completely ruin the image of an "all op" server, and I would at that point think it's disingenious to advertise ourselves as such

@StevenNL2000#17337 thats what im suggesting as a better alternative, yes.

@StevenNL2000#17329 It's a matter of display. And the fact that our server's core feature is "All OP" also speaks to this. If we're going to go down this road, then you might as well install a rank hierarchy based on building, survival or roleplay.

And before anybody gripes: I think the MB title should be abolished, and I've been saying so for a couple years now.

@redeastwood#17303 my argument is that nobody wants the shiny title, "voter". And since establishing a new rank goes against the core principle of Total Freedom ("All-op"), my suggestion is simply to circumvent this voting issue by simply giving people the perks, but not the rank.

I am yet to hear a viable reason as why we should most definitely NOT implement this suggestion, rather than reasons why implementing it wouldn’t be as effective as other means - effective nonetheless.

I gave you one in my last comment. If you don't think it's viable, then that's up to you. But it 'effectively' goes against core principles of TF. So not really that effective.

The alternative you have suggested is already being worked on, and once a suitable coin shop item has been decided on, a further post/suggestion will follow.

Then why make this suggestion if the solution is already in the works? If the problem is that people aren't voting for the server enough, then the solution is to give people an incentive to vote. A rank in itself is not an incentive, because who the fuk wants "Voter" next to their name? Perks are what people are after, and that's why I see the addition of a title as a trivial matter that goes against core principles of the (revamped) server.

@redeastwood#17293

Why would that be a bigger issue versus an entirely new rank?

Why is the economy inflated? And even then, that's an issue with the economy, not the rank hierarchy.

@Panther#17213 TF is inherently a platform wherein everyone is considered equal. wild1145 has already made clear that he wishes to make alterations to the MB rank, because he does not wish to sustain/create a rank hierarchy. I am very much in favour of giving the average player incentives to vote, but the addition of a "voter"-rank goes against this path entirely. As I mentioned before: fuck the title. Give people who vote small cosmetic perks, and instead tell people via announcements ingame of these perks. This way, you'd be avoiding the segregation of players.
A 7-day requirement also seems absurdly arbitrary. Why not just have people vote for a day, and then they recieve the awards? If you're going to mention that the 7-day threshold means that you'll get people to vote more, then why not make the threshold 30 days?

This is also not to mention that a "voter"-rank is pretty fucking stupid to flaunt.

@Panther#17209 my overarching point still stands

-> Lemme vote for the server because I want everybody to know I voted like a good boy.

Suggestion is utterly pointless. If you want to showcase that you voted, give yourself a tag.

The "seven day"-threshold is also pretty silly. You either voted, or you didn't. If anything, you should only get to keep the rank for the day you voted?

Seek to give players coins or other rewards for voting. A useless new title is just that.
