Bobo doesn't play as much anymore but he was on last night and killed a family.

I misunderstood and thought you were talking about climbing leaderboard and not worried about the minor perks you get in game from gene score.

Can our nipples evolve beyond ableism?

There's no problem with "race mixing" as it is now.  You have to overcome barriers of language and biome restrictions to cooperate with people in the game and that makes it more interesting.  I played during the time of giant megacities and if I was still playing that way nearly two years later it would probably be a bit boring. 

With the new band system, it is absolutely possible to have mixed race cities again, just difficult.  That's perfectly acceptable.  You can see the recent Twisted video where he had a kid far from home and left it with another family.   It's organic race mixing that makes the game more interesting. 

The people who post the most about this are trolls.  People like you come along read all their troll posts and think it's a real problem.  It's not.  In general, you should realize that the people who post the most on this forum are trolls.  They've been posting this shit non-stop for two years now.  Everything on the subject has pretty much been said.

They post about "family" mechanics all the time and how the game is racist.  Yawn.   The thing to think about is what does addressing such mechanics add to the game.  If we were all living in one big town and we had marriages and fathers and mulato children, what does this add to the game other than some forced RP scenarios?  Like if you want to RP as a father, you absolutely can.  If you want to RP marriage, you absolutely can.  These things happen all the time in the game as it is. 

And doesn't having one big family take away from content of the game?  Like it or not, the fact that you depend on other families that are geographically separated does add content to the game.   

And that is the real problem with this game, a lack of content.  We are supposed to be advancing technologically but we really haven't for over a year now.  Recent additions like the truck and sprinkler (which no one uses) are a step back in the right direction, but we still have a long way to go before we get to Atomic Robots®.

One great thing about this update is that all of this can happen ad hoc. 

Any player can choose to live their life in one of these scenarios, provided there is another fam on the border of where they want to be.  You are no longer tied to your family's well like you were before and that brings a lot more freedom back into the game.

BOOK ARMY (Mazen Tesseneer) went on a spree about a month ago where she would build fences just within homeland range and trap her children inside.

Haven't played with them since I cursed.

Oh my what a terrible horrible world where people share!  And no one is forcing anyone to share.  The players could choose to hoard their stuff, they just choose not too.  Talk about organic...

What is fun?  Running the newcomen for the 5 millionth time to get everyone water or going on an adventure to find the other families to get the resources?  What's not fun to you is the funnest part of the game to me.

Yeah sometimes you fail.  That's not a bad thing. 

How are the interactions artificial?  You have a need, you have to rely on others in the game to fill that need.  You can choose to steal, hoard, trade, or just share.  Nothing about it is artificial.

I started playing before the Rift and I can tell you biome restrictions are 100 times better than the rift.  If Jason wants to enforce geographical isolation, biome restrictions are a way better way to do it.

Because that's a stupid assertion.  Everyone else who plays this game will tell you whites are the worst race.  Being multilingual has less to do with raw intelligence and more to do with early education and integration with other cultures.

Do you think white supremacists want to learn other languages?   White supremacists in America would never learn Spanish.  In real life, white supremacy is isolationist and xenophobic.  In this game, whites have the exact opposite ability...  They are the most able to integrate with other families.  That's the opposite of xenophobia and white supremacy.

You are completely insane to argue that it is white supremacy.

Right, but you're being incredibly literal.  It is true that certain civilizations and cultures did not have access to certain resources until globalization and unfortunately, imperialism happened. That is what biome restrictions try to add to the game.  The fact that resources were localized to certain civilizations and this gave them advantages and lead humans to seek trade. 

That is one way to look at it but it seems to me an intentionally inflammatory way to view it.  What you are essentially arguing is that all whites are savants because the ability to just understand any language is beyond any realistic capability.   It's Star Trek level technology.   

It's meant to be more of a metaphor for whites as the most gregarious race, going out to interact with other cultures, much like Europe did in the age of exploration. Of course, that lead to many atrocities that happened in real life, but in this game, the dynamics of power that allowed Europeans to terrorize and exploit the world does not exist.  Therefore your white supremacy does not exist in this game.

Again, you've forced me to defend the mechanic with your absolutely ridiculous arguments.  I do not think whites having speech as their special ability is good for balance reasons.  But I don't think it is white supremacy either and I think you are acting in bad faith to argue as such.

I like the current curse system but I wish it also blocked you from being born to a person you have cursed.  That is the worst.

War activates swords.  Swords have a lower cooldown on kill I think?  Possibly means you need a smaller posse?  Anyway you need two elders from each family to say war in each others language so it's not easy to start.

We had a traitor old man who agreed to start the war with them. 

They nearly killed both towns in the process.  Both in taking resources from the white fam to forge the swords, eat food to make the trek, etc. and they took over the brown's bakery and we could not cook food for like 15 minutes.

It was not the glorious battle they were hoping for and basically resulted in just making the game suck for everyone involved.
