Ok, first the positive:
I like the idea of player affected news flashes and blurbs. It adds a player element to major events on Rubi-ka. I also gotta give my hats off to people, players and ARK alike who spend portions of their busy time to stop and make us laugh and feel like Rubi-ka is a great place to game.
Then the con:
Two words.. Leeroy Jenkins. I like to laugh at gaming gimmicks at much as the next man, and truly I got more than a few chuckles out of it. Now, from a pure player standpoint, I even gotta small laugh out of the Leeroy Jenkins ad. But, in all honesty, its a bit too far outta box for me. The original LJ was actually staged, if anyone didn't know. Second, that one liner is about as overused as the Dave Chappelle's Rick James Skit. I don't consider it a truly heinous RP violation, because its still a game and i think parody is neat in small doses. I won't even go so far as to condemn Windguaerd (I know i killed the spelling on it.) for posting it. What I will do is let people know that I call shenanigans on the play.
=) Nice try, but i'd stay away from going that far with parody.
