[2019-10-10. : 6:39 pm]  Oh_Man -- Make it so if a civilian walks in front of a tank the tank stops moving[2019-10-10. : 6:13 pm]  Vrael -- but if the players lose you should still put "CHINA IS ASSHOE" in big letters and make a .wav of that one guy who says it[2019-10-10. : 6:02 pm] MTiger156 -- ... of course with some twists, like tons of friendly (cpu) civs running around and getting gunned down by the Chinese army.[2019-10-10. : 5:56 pm] MTiger156 -- Going for a realistic approach like that, I'm afraid it might make the map boring. I'm gonna lean more towards a "Dawn of the Dead" style.[2019-10-10. : 5:32 pm] Vrael -- whether you win or lose the game ends with a big message on the screen[2019-10-10. : 2:18 pm] MTiger156 -- Ok, I can see where that is going. Protect Civs and the Hospital by luring enemies into nukes, eventually working your way to an enemy base and nuking that too?[2019-10-10. : 2:11 pm] Vrael -- oh and slip like 1 hero marine named "Japanese Terrorist" in there for every like 50 normal "Chinese Military" marines see if anyone notices lol[2019-10-10. : 2:10 pm] Vrael -- so your goal is to use ur civ units to group as many chinese together at once, then nuke them[2019-10-10. : 2:10 pm] Vrael -- and then, to satisfy the players' bloodlust, give Hong Kong a ghost with cloak and 1 damage and nukes to nuke the enemy chinese force[2019-10-10. : 2:09 pm] Vrael -- maybe have some reavers without scarabs you can use to make blockages call it a "Civilian Car"[2019-10-10. : 2:06 pm] Vrael -- so you gotta keep your civs in constant rotation between taking damage and healing so the enemy chinese military can't advance and destroy the hospital[2019-10-10. : 2:05 pm] Vrael -- ya u gotta micro the civilians to take maximum damage without dying, so you can put like a "Hong Kong Resistance Hospital" in the center where you bring the civs to get healed[2019-10-10. : 1:56 pm] MTiger156 -- Sure, it can be an unfair fight, but at least need to make it enjoyable.[2019-10-10. : 1:49 pm] Vrael -- and in the map all you get are the Terran Civilian, and the chinese attackers get marines and firebats and tanks, perfect[2019-10-10. : 1:49 pm] MTiger156 -- I'm actually very close to pausing my masterpiece project to make a Hong Kong defense map. Technically it would be called "China Defense" cuz the noun in the title is what you are defending FROM.... also "Defense of Hong Kong" works too[2019-10-10. : 1:42 pm] MTiger156 -- Like KrayZee says, removing your personal copy of the game does nothing. You gotta do something offensive with it.[2019-10-10. : 1:41 pm] MTiger156 -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: honestly I'm thinking I'll pull all content creation support for StarCraft, uninstall their games, and join the boycott... capitulation to Chinese censorship at this critical time deserves nothing less No no, don't pull content creation... create "protest" content and spread it to the community.[2019-10-10. : 8:35 am] Oh_Man -- Also that guy who set himself.on fire in Vietnam. I.mean forget about breaking your discs. He lost his LIFE. These sort of acts are about inspiring societal change, not direct attacks at the threat itself[2019-10-10. : 8:33 am] Oh_Man -- KrayZeeKrayZee shouted: They broke their discs and collections and then took pictures but they're idiots for doing it because it has no impact towards the company itself. The consumers who behaved like this actually lost since they're the ones who spent the money. yeh but those gestures are symbolic. Like that guy that stood in front of the tank column didnt actually stop them for.more than 5 min. But that image became widespread [2019-10-10. : 8:31 am] Oh_Man -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: honestly I'm thinking I'll pull all content creation support for StarCraft, uninstall their games, and join the boycott... capitulation to Chinese censorship at this critical time deserves nothing less https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRAeEcLdlwv4_YVrx6aaXaDHeUlbPjv3l6j2i6SvHuFcVU5QS0L[2019-10-10. : 7:12 am] KrayZee -- They broke their discs and collections and then took pictures but they're idiots for doing it because it has no impact towards the company itself. The consumers who behaved like this actually lost since they're the ones who spent the money. [2019-10-10. : 7:10 am] KrayZee -- I remember when another company wanted to expand their market to China and didn't actually carry out the changes they were considering doing for their game. People broke their discs and uninstalled the game as their protest but didn't necessarily do anything compared to actually writing complaints in their forums.[2019-10-10. : 7:08 am] KrayZee -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: honestly I'm thinking I'll pull all content creation support for StarCraft, uninstall their games, and join the boycott... capitulation to Chinese censorship at this critical time deserves nothing less Wouldn't really matter if they already got your money. Walking out as an employee has more impact than being a customer doing anything in this situation.[2019-10-10. : 6:49 am] Ultraviolet -- I stopped believing in Blizzard when they sold to Activision, recent events leave me feeling same as ever  [2019-10-10. : 5:46 am] jjf28 -- if it's a cost-benefit analysis for them I want my tiny weight on the right side of the scale, hundreds of corporations cave to Chinese pressure just the same but with Blizzard it's personal[2019-10-10. : 5:16 am] jjf28 -- honestly I'm thinking I'll pull all content creation support for StarCraft, uninstall their games, and join the boycott... capitulation to Chinese censorship at this critical time deserves nothing less[2019-10-10. : 5:07 am] Oh_Man -- CaptainWillCaptainWill shouted: Evening all - have I missed anything? yeah Blizz is in the shitbin for kowtowing to China[2019-10-10. : 5:05 am] Oh_Man -- https://www.businessinsider.com/blizzard-employees-stage-walkout-hong-kong-protests-blitzchung-2019-10[2019-10-10. : 3:24 am] KrayZee -- Oh wait, Nixon resigned during his second term before he's about to get impeached.  [2019-10-10. : 3:21 am] KrayZee -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: it's super obvious trump won't get impeached. In fact he's going to get reelected Gee, I wonder how Andrew Johnson and RIchard Nixon got reelected. [2019-10-09. : 11:04 pm] CaptainWill -- Yeah he probably will. I was reading American Psycho recently, and the main character is obsessed with Donald Trump.[2019-10-09. : 11:01 pm] NudeRaider -- it's super obvious trump won't get impeached. In fact he's going to get reelected[2019-10-09. : 5:09 pm] NudeRaider -- Suicidal InsanitySuicidal Insanity shouted: It better have been a CRT TV and not one of them newfangled flatscreen ones 16:9 and black glossy frame. 95% TFT.[2019-10-09. : 4:41 pm] Suicidal Insanity -- It better have been a CRT TV and not one of them newfangled flatscreen ones [2019-10-09. : 3:41 pm] NudeRaider -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: here have a pirated version: https://youtu.be/Af0wXeN6_FY filmed from a TV  love it. Oh_Man, do you now see the consequences of your inconsiderate actions?[2019-10-09. : 2:47 pm] NudeRaider -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: https://southpark.cc.com/clips/103759/not-a-big-deal only viewable in US[2019-10-09. : 2:47 pm] NudeRaider -- MTiger156MTiger156 shouted: The "anti-government" side of me would love to see that happen, but my reasonable side says no what's the worst that could happen? [2019-10-09. : 2:45 pm] NudeRaider -- Oh_ManOh_Man shouted: And how are map authors not also unknown as a youtube channel alias? dunno? I'm pretty sure they are[2019-10-09. : 1:39 pm] MTiger156 -- The "anti-government" side of me would love to see that happen, but my reasonable side says no [2019-10-09. : 9:32 am] Oh_Man -- Let's make a Hong Kong Defence map where you have to fight off waves of Chinese military and see if Blizz responds. [2019-10-09. : 5:27 am] Oh_Man -- And how are map authors not also unknown as a youtube channel alias?[2019-10-09. : 4:58 am] NudeRaider -- apparently it's also not unheard of to be sued directly for copyright infringement in a youtube video you uploaded: https://torrentfreak.com/youtuber-sued-stanley-kubrick-movies-analysis-160606/[2019-10-09. : 4:51 am] NudeRaider -- The thing is, when uploading to youtube and someone sees their content in one of your videos they usually have no means of suing you directly because your identity is unknown--at least to them. So they do a copyright claim instead towards youtube. Now it's not exactly in youtube's best interest to refuse responsibility and give them your identity, so they have implemented filters and a strike system. I'm not so sure Blizzard would react the same way if they found a person is using their maps to circumvent copyright.[2019-10-09. : 12:34 am] Oh_Man -- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viacom_International_Inc._v._YouTube,_Inc.[2019-10-09. : 12:34 am] Oh_Man -- In response to a lawsuit from Viacom, video sharing service YouTube developed a copyright enforcement tool referred to as Content ID which automatically scans uploaded content against a database of copyrighted material ingested by third-parties.[2019-10-09. : 12:31 am] Oh_Man -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man I'm hung up on this: "blizz owns all our maps, that's why i fill them all with copyrighted sound effects " What Blizzard owns or not owns is not a factor. why do u think youtube had to make the algorithm and copyright strike system? Because they were getting in trouble for users uploading copyrighted material on their platform. Ditto for Blizz and copyright maps/sounds in maps[2019-10-08. : 6:06 pm] Vrael -- I like how the donald trump post is in lite discussion, the after-effects of my SD moderation remain to this day |
