Finding alot of Dis'ers today!

 

[Aunt Cawa]

the past? Why change the past, they are re-writing history in a game based on history? @_@

All they had to do is make one post that says, hey, Things have not been going smoothly as we would have liked. Instead they edited the entire website. Thats just dishonest.

Aengus my friend,

I hate to be the one to break this to you but rewriting history is what keeps historians in business.

 

[Mintz]

It is a bug. My friend list has not come back, but others in game have told me that their's had... so I guess it's hit or miss.

Oh. Well hopefully our lists will come back sometime or later!

 

[wdwdreamin]

When I logged on today my friends list from yesterday was still there. And I didn't notice any "ghosts" today--people would appear as soon as I walked into a room!! There was still a lot of lag though.

Yup it is amazing how so many American I have met do not know that the Canadians burnt down your white house. Well it was actually the British loyalists that became Canadian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_Washington

Or how the Amercians tried to take over Canada well twice and lost Here is one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Secord

See history is a funny thing by not teaching it many do not know it happened. Now many would say this does not change history if it is just not mentioned. But it does because. Rewriting it or not mentioning history it is the same to me.

Yep. History is always written by the winners and to the writer's point of view.
Which is why history taught in one country is different from what's taught elsewhere.

 

[Belle1997]

Yup my point exactly see history is in the eye of the beholder. And what is the in thing I think. I never knew Laura Second was so important just thought she made good chocolates. But not until there was an out cry of our lack of Canadian Identity that we started to get PSA and wow Laura Secord was a real person.

So is history ever really acturate even historians differ on the same facts.
History will continued to be rewritten over and over again.

 

[aengus]

are you all saying its ok for them to change the history of their website?

and no I am not fighting today ROFL, I have to finish this book @_@

I am happy to hear that you are all encountering few issues today.

Hopefully they can now move the priority to the calling for help situation now, I really think thats important, you cant call it a family friendly site without that in place.

yes yes back to my book

What Anegus you did not like our history lesson on the fact that history is never really true. And that historians go back on what has been written for say decades and go back and change it like it was always that way.

I am sure if we look really hard in some of the history books we will find a little foot note. But who takes the time to read those

Big hugs to you Big A. No I think is is strange they did change it does not effect us either way. But in the big scale of things does not change my view of them yet

 

[aengus]

You cant change history, you can only change the perception of it

Unless you all made a "way back machine" I dont know about @_@

really going now.

 

[Belle1997]

lets see defination of history

A learning or knowing by inquiry; the knowledge of facts and events, so obtained; hence, a formal statement of such information; a narrative; a description; a written record; as, the history of a patient's case; the history of a legislative bill.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A systematic, written account of events, particularly of those affecting a nation, institution, science, or art, and usually connected with a philosophical explanation of their causes; a true story, as distinguished from a romance; -- distinguished also from annals, which relate simply the facts and events of each year, in strict chronological order; from biography, which is the record of an individual's life; and from memoir, which is history composed from personal experience, observation, and memory.

Sounds like history if not written in point form by the second account could be mostly perception.

Reminds me of 4 people seeing an car accident happen and each sees a different colour car, or different people involved. They have even proven in stressful situations eye witness accounts are half the time inaccurate

But to those people their history of the event (thus perception) is accurate. Because once it has happened it is history.

Well back to our regularly scheduled complaining of what VFK is doing wrong now in our perceptions

 

[IliketheTitanic]

They really should have a page devoted to Downtime and Server Status, and maybe include an estimated time of which the game will be up again, but at the top say: "all times are only estimated, some downtimes may take longer then expected" or something along those lines.

We only wanted Canada to *think* we were attacking them. It was just to keep you guys on your toes, eh?

or we do not mention this because Canada Canada is know first as peace keeper not much as soldiers. We had to have the kindness of our US friends to give us uniforms. Since we showed up in the desert in our kaki greens not much camoflage there Oh and lets not forget we buy everyones used machines helecopters and submarines. Sounds like our nation is not much of a fighting force.

I've stopped playing this game until it truly seems operational. Their biggest mistake is allowing too many people to register and log in. Look back at the VMK Beta pics. There were usually 600-700 people logged in at a time and they still had technical issues. When this game was first announced, I was under the impression that Beta 1 was different than Beta 5. It appeared that they would open with Beta 1 people and gradually allow the next tier to register. Well, that obviously did not happen. I signed up the first day they announced it. My friend signed up on May 19 (which was referred to as Beta 5). We both were able to register and log in on May 22. That simply makes no sense to me.

I am in the Beta 5 group and have not been able to register. It's kind of depressing reading the thread and everyone's excitement about VFK - I feel left out.

 

[pixiewytch]

Don't feel bad because you really aren't missing much. So far I can move my character around and finally see people and chat if I want to but that's really about it. There isn't anything else to do. In fact, since I joined Gaia I haven't been visiting vfk much at all....

I'm not trying to be a downer at all because these things take time and I'm sure it will be fabulous but for now, there just isn't much point to going over there for me.

I am in Beta 5 group too, and haven't had any problems. Are you using the name you pre-registered with? Where does the problem begin .. maybe we can help you

 

[poohluv2u]

yes yes back to my book

Inquiring minds want to know .. what is the name of this book, that has so captured your interest

Woot! Fin has named a whole rock in Stone Henge after me! It is now Soup Rock
