Nuuuuu do not ban me ; ;

I'm not two faced ; ; i'm compassionately evil. my name suggests such.

Compassionately Evil, i like that hehe.

And Arturia, you're right I did come off strong and condescending. Sorry for that Reika. But I do stand by my words.

As for topic, I hope its not longer than 2 weeks. Perhaps they'll have an update ready when we get back? But getting back would be plenty good for me.

Quite a loose definition you must have, depending on whom you're directing that at. So if one is not compassionate to all people, they are not at all? Because we choose whom we personally deem fit to have empathy for, makes us 'bad', or hypocritical?

If there are two men bleeding to death side by side, and one is a pedophile, the other an upstanding citizen who volunteers weekly... I can safely say, I know who I would help first, what an awful person I am. In this case, though obviously not that extreme, Alien is the 'bad' victim here.

and i am a dad with two young kids that love me. i would at Google and have never been in jail. don't do drugs and play video games.

/shrug, as if it's not clear by now... I'm quite harsh too. Just sayin' doesn't make one incapable of showing compassion at appropriate times. :P

I think they have things higher on their priority list than to move the server. Like perhaps making sure that their friends and family are fine. I am amazed that the server were kept up for that long even. With the earthquake, tsunami and meltdown, if I were an SE employee, I'd probably be outside trying to make sure my friends and family are safe and to see and help those that are injured.

I hope you understand Peregrine that the people here who understand that SE have to shut down the server are NOT playing the victim or trying to get attention. We simple understand and offer our condolescense to a nation in crisis. The people who are playing victim here are those who complain that devastation in another part of the world had effect their ability to entertain themselve.

And just for your information, i do not live in Japan, but I have 2 friends that do. one of them is fortunately not in the country at the moment, but his mother and sister is living in Yokohama. My heart goes out to him and I pray that his family stay safe.

I've also know someone who lost both of his daughters to the tsunami in 2004, and seeing how it affected him with the kind of sadness I can only imagine, I can sympathise with all the losses in Japan.

This is a time of tragedy, it is only natural for us to sympathise, and it pains me when some of us here are insensitive, ignorant and self-centered enough that they want to call attention to their tiny loss of being unable to play a game.

I believe what SE doing is the right thing to do, consever the energy so that there will be enough power for the vital part of society, so hospital can treats the wounded, so that shelthers can keep the people unable to go home warm. And without the need to run the game and maintaine the server, the people working there can go home and look after their loved one.

please go make a tread that fits your discussion topic.
