Okay, I've been trying to avoid giving my stance on any matter involved in this thread, but because it's literally the most popular thread on the forum within the span of a day, I think my hands are kinda tied and something, one way or another, is going to end up circling towards me.
On AI, my personal opinion is that it is a tool to be used. I'm not saying 'Ai ShOuLd RePlAcE tHe WoRkErS' or some stupid shit like that. To be more specific, I'm saying that, if it is going to be used, it should be used as the base groundwork. An artist doesn't particularly understand the idea of what you want them to draw? Use AI to show them. A voice actor can't seem to get the tone of a certain line just right? Use AI as an example. Again, I'm not saying that AI should be used as a go-to, I'm just saying, if it is going to be used, it should be used as groundwork to help guide real human creativity towards the end goal. Yes, I understand that making an AI dedicated contest is not ideal, but turning your back on the entire game because of it is like refusing to use a door because the hinges were attached with screwdrivers instead of the worker screwing them in for hours with their nails.
About Arabian, again, I am going to keep it very simple, okay? Basically:
Arabian-Revenge maybe in the future Arabic language support could even be added through AI.
This is an example of making the entire problem about yourself, also known as narcissistic behaviour and very strongly disliked by pretty much everyone, especially other narcissists. Now before I go off on a tangent, onto the next point:
I presume you are talking about Igor here, in that case, Igor has not been a leading force or even a mostly present force for a long time now. I think this issue is the first one he's been active on for a while now. Even so, I still personally disagree with a lot of the stuff that he has said, for example:
Igor americans being retarded as usual
Which I find offensive due to the use of a certain word upon which I will not elaborate any further on, figure it out yourself. The very first thing I said when he truly, properly returned, was 'I hope you have changed', and I am certain that many others on here agree with me on that.
Allow me to talk for vile here. Requesting the language is not annoying, but constantly spamming it in new threads that were made practically every hour of the day that were all verbally abusive towards the developers and the game while acting similarly towards others AND making everything else that is even hinted at in the forum all about yourself and your issues is annoying. And you have been annoying by doing all of the above, mostly in that order. And before you say that I have been nothing but unsupportive of you and your issues and call me racist or something stupid shit like that, remember that I was one of the main advocates for your issue specifically until you started to use all of the above, after which I still tried to help you, but because you wouldn't listen, I gave up trying to help, as did a lot of others on here.
Arabian-Revenge When I sent them reports about the server problem and the 279 ping issue, and proved it with screenshots, they told me to use a VPN.
I'm going to tell you something that I honestly never considered until now. The moderators on the discord server are not necessarily the developers. They're just people appointed by the developers to help with issues and manage toxic behaviour. I think what actually happened is that they looked at your information and told you to use a VPN due to a lack of anything else they really could do.
Arabian-Revenge I’m only saying this because I’m Arab, and it feels like you don’t like Arabs just for asking for language support in the game.
It's not that we don't like this, it's that we don't like the methods that you resorted to in order to ask for language support.
Arabian-Revenge Alright, I don’t want to repeat this topic, but it’s my right to bring it up.
Um, sorry, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this was a thread about the AI competition, not you. So actually, none of us have the real right to bring up anything considered off topic, including you.
Arabian-Revenge That is why you now see many AI-controlled players, because many Arab players stopped playing.
I'm just going to give you a little reality check here. You and the Arabs are not the central point of gaming. No game entirely depends on having the Arabs play it. The way you're saying it, if the Arabs do not play a game, that game will die, whether on the spot or slowly over time. This is not true. I say a game is not dead until either everyone who owns the game has stopped playing it, or there is literally no way to play it anymore. Party Animals is none of those two things, so the game will not die. If the game's survival was truly dependent on Arabs, don't you think they would have prioritised Arabs more to ensure said survival? Do you think that maybe, because that didn't happen, they knew that the game was not dependent on Arabs?
In conclusion, AI is a tool and nothing more, and calling others delusional for saying that is delusional in itself, stop hiding behind this sick idea of what you think AI is and face reality, and Arabian's methods of getting what he wants are clearly not successful or ideal and the gaming industry does not depend on him as a whole. Now I'm off to watch JoJo see you all later.
