I saw that thread about how do you define a rank whore, and i feel like its flawed. Not only is it mostly people talking shit on each other, but its also to the point in the game where you have to try to not rank.
Most families join unions these days, and there have been a few rounds recently where the top three families, they know they get a medal no matter what, its just about working out which one they get. The family ranks are literally about who can throw together ten people in a family to qualify, and then bank a trillion or so to get something.
The union ranks are more competitive, but just competitive because they can only rank 30 of their players. Its not like there are eight unions competing for five spots, there are just five unions of different sizes, and some unions can rank most of their people, and some unions can only rank half.
So i feel like, asking what makes a person a rank whore, is a dead conversation. If you are an active player who contributes to your family, and you dont win turns at the end of the round, then you fucked up on who you chose to be with. Because most people in the game are winning turns, here and there, these days
So long winded (domvel bla bla bla), back to my original point...what makes a person loyal?
My personal definition? Since im asking so i should at least throw mine out there...
What makes a person loyal is when they stick with their current family no matter what. People jump ship when they dont like decisions made at the top, or when they think they have a better chance with another group of players. the first i understand more, the second i dont.
I also think a BIG part of loyalty, is when you put in work, and you are ok with someone else getting the reward. Remember when Gallio had that thread about him being a rank whore? People argued that he always ranks himself, and the defense arguement of him was that he puts in the most work. Which im not hating on, but i think thats a big thing about loyalty.
Loyalty is about putting the team first. If you sepnd hours on the game a day, organizing, banking, and running a union, and at the end of the round you feel like you put the work in, and you deserve a rank out of it, thats legit. Its not my line of thinking, but i can totally understand it. Effort in=Ranks out.
For me though, loyalty is putting the effort in, and being happy when you see other people who put effort in, other people who have been loyal to you, or other people who you know are due, and they get a medal or some turns out of it.
Thats the crux of team effort. When you are happy to see the people around you get rewards, and you feel like you can share in that happiness for them.
I'm basically making the argument that loyalty is selflessness. and i realize that. Thats why i made this a forum post
What is your idea of loyalty? So many people are ready to tear down others for not being loyal or not being a team player...so describe what you see as the ideal in this sense
Looking forward to answers. And fuck you dont troll my post lol
