Is a whit knight the same as a nitwit?Some people get called 'Whit Knights' on this forum
I do, but drastically less (I mean 95% less) than I did. I used to run Powerplay Reddits, help lead Powers, I worte Galnet Stories, bits of lore, helped run Reddits to get other people published on Galnet, worked for Sag Eye, made memes, try to provide quality feedback and be an all round good egg.
After the September patch (and this one) I can't even log in and what little enthusiasm dies inside once again as I watch a spinning ship.
Same here. I've gone from playing everyday to playing a total of 15 minutes in the last 2 months, and that was to check out the mission board and transfer some funds to my FC. FC's briefly brought me back but now.....not playing. No narrative? Dead galaxy.
I've been posting here for years and.....I wasn't always like this. I loved and still love the game. But I hate the way its potential has been neglected and there's only so many FDev empty promises, bug-creating patches, and abandoned gameplay features* I can put up with before I search for content and entertainment elsewhere.

Well if you are rocking up to a fast food place expecting a good breakfast then you really need to question your personal choices in life before you start loading up your semi-automatic to shoot crap out of the place.
I can see why as a supporter of Fulham you don't expect to win all the time
Nice cottage though.
This is very sad to read, I can relate in a sense. The first musical discovery I made of my own was The Specials. I adored them. I was 11 years old in 1979 and they just lit me up. Their first album I played until the needle wore through the vinyl. Got all the singles, cut all the bits out of magazines and papers for my scrapbook. The second album came out, I liked it a lot, but it never matched up to the first one. The third album, I felt very let down by. Frankly, I didn't and don't like it. The yearning and loss I felt for the demise of that band crushed me.
I guess I'm just lucky when it come to Elite that my passions for it have not outflanked it's abilities, for me.
I still play that first album to this day.
Well I accept what you're saying though I believe it is down to perspective. Thing is, I've been playing this game for ages. I log in, I fly some ships, I don't really do mining, I don't do BGS actively, though of course anything I do I suppose I'm interfering with it, I don't Power Play, I barley pay any attention to the thousands of factions other than to see who is offering me the most lucrative contracts. I potter about in SRV's on planets. I may have a 'small world' view in this big universe game, but there is enough to keep me going, keep me occupied and entertained. Other than down time for patches and one prolonged incident once when I couldn't log on (a few days), I have had no issues with the game. Lucky me.
C'mon Brentford!![]()
I came back from a match once, Fulham had won (a rare day) and we plotted up in this pub. A bunch of Brentford fans came in and were clearly looking for a punch up, really aggressive. I asked one of them if they had lost and he told me they and won 4-0 (A rarer day), I was baffled by it.
Saying that, I ended up working with a bloke who was a Brentford fan, possibly the funniest man I have ever met. Had me laughing all day.
There comes a point where for some where you play a game in spite of what obstacles the developers put in the way.
You old romantic, youAs the wise man I am, all the times I went to France with my wife I steered well clear of Paris.
You old romantic, you
Nothing romantic about it, we really like to drive to France to go camping, fantastic country for that.No need to give Mrs Maec the wrong idea about why they were going that way.... after all, you don't get extra "husband points" for proposing twice...!
On the other hand, could have just been avoiding certain districts, with particular coloured lights.
I'm speculating though, we would require input from the big chap himself @Bigmaec - anything to declare mate?![]()
Or he's just creatively devoidI was going to reference Yamiks doing top 5 / worst 5 videos as a sign that Elite is really going stale.
If the crazy latvian can't finding something to make fun of or rant about...we're really screwed.
better than Norwich for sure (sorry, Norwich fans).
You don't play Elite anymore?ED used to be my number one game but I play games to have fun, when the fun is gone then there are literally thousands of other games to choose from.
Am I gutted to what's happening to ED? Definitely, but I'm not just gonna sit there being gutted, my time's to valuable for that.
That's been my experience!Is a whit knight the same as a nitwit?![]()
