  1. 3 things: 1) I'm glad you got (part of your stuff back). You're lucky, as I know people who had the same thing happening to them and never got it back. The ones who stole it were even confronted with it, put it on sale and still "got away with it". 2) I've been kind and helpful to people in Wurm for 8 years. In those 8 years others got credits for highway building I did, changed sermon rules a deed owner and I made up for an event without even notifying or consulting me; yet accusing me of being bullying and being unreasonable when I got upset about it, had people insult my country and its habits because of some event related to a movie being more important as remembering the fallen of their country as well as my own, had people settling down near my deed, agreeing to keep the environment "as it is" and had so much terraforming being done, it'll take me 2-3 years to restore it all, had people cutting down a hedge, ONE!! tile next to a sign saying : "please use the gates", then claiming they hadn't seen the sign when having a chance to pick free horses, a person logging out during a maze group event, only to log in not long after all but one was gone and completing a part of it before the rest and even had a friend of mine being kicked from an alliance, only because she refused to choose sides in a conflict she wasn't even part of. And all that time I've been nice to people. 3) But if you think that when someone makes a fool out of you because you made a mistake is "not being nice"; you'd better not get on my bad side. Because making a fool of someone who should've know that some mistakes can turn out bad isn't bad. What I did was sarcasm, but you seem to have failed to see that. Which probably says more about you as it does about me. And that's me, still being nice.
  2. So recap: After getting lost in a tunnel with "only" two turns, you now have made another mistake to keep your boat open for anyone to access the hold at an off deed spot? Geeeeezzzz. Could someone give this guy the "Facepalm of the Year" award, please! Thorin 🤦‍♂️
  3. No. The very first post he made at official Wurm social media contained expressions and "jokes" which offended lots of people. Deleting his channel is Hamtad's own decission, no-one here forced him to do that.
  4. @garforl@Simyaci@Finnn I suggest you three (re)read this post : And when that's done, read Toeol's post again with that new info in mind. Perhaps, then you may understand why so many people were upset by his "jokes". As for the "bullying", like Lisimba already pointed out, there was no group formed. There were several likeminded members who were all disgusted by that video and they have expressed their opinions. And if you read that history lesson as well as Toeol's post, you may understand why. And last, but not least: No-one forced Hamtad to remove that content as well as anything he has made previously. That's his decission. It's been up to the forum staff to deal with the video when it was linked in Hamtad's thread and they did that. IMHO they should've mentioned that some content was removed because of what it contained wasn't representing Wurm; but they didn't and that was their decission. No-one forced Army to end the cooperation with Hamtad, that's his - or the staff's - decission. In the light of what happened I think it was the right decission and that's my opinion. As well as that of others, but I have no influence on that. I do disagree with the way Hamtad was chosen to represent Wurm at social media and I still think that should've been done better. Hopefully @Armyhas learned from this and is actually doing an official anouncement in which the community is informed about how things will go on and that applicating to become an official Wurm TV representative is now official possible. And I sure as heck hope that whoever gets chosen, that person won't make the same mistake Hamtad made; but then again, that's their decission.
  5. Tasteless? A small history lesson: Between 1936 and 1945 the Nazi's had innitiated programs to keep the genepool pure, thus making it possible to create a human being which was superiour to all the other races; something they called the "Übermensch". To do that, they rounded up and sterialized each and every human being that didn't match their image of the ideal human. Which were: Anyone having ancestors of a different race; up to your great-great-grandparents; wasn't considered "pure". Anyone not being hetro-sexual wasn't considered "pure". Anyone having Down Syndrome wasn't considered "pure". Anyone being handicaped by birth wasn't considered "pure". Anyone having mental problems and being in an asylum wasn't considered "pure". All those people were rounded up and send to prisons first; where they were made sterile to make sure they didn't reproduce. Later they were send to concentration camps, where they had to work to death. The "jokes" made by Hamtad are the same thing lots of our grandparents have been fighting and dying against during WWII. Thàt's why it's upsetting people. Because aparently for some people it's fun to "joke" about something that's been an life and death issue 78-87 for a large part of our global population. There also was a second part of that whole "process" going on in Germany. That part, using the name 'Lebensbronn' or "source of life" was set up to have any "pure" German woman mating with any "pure" German man to produce as many children as possible. For two reasons. 1) to get as many children as possible, making it easier to repopulate the nation - and later the conquered lands in Eastern Europe - and 2) to make sure there were enough soldiers to protect the nation. That program went as far as to abduct children with all the right genetic traits from families who didn't have those traits. Those children were placed in families which were "true" believers of the Nazi idiology. As a result, there are still hundred of thousands 80+ y/o Germans who have no idea who their biological parents are. So I think "tasteless" doesn't cover the load. Disgusting comes closer to it.

  6. For the record: No anouncement here. No amouncement there either. Both taken out of the previous VI thread. The only thing we got is that "details are yet to be announced officially." Which became: Hey, Hamtad is our new Wha..... Wurm TV streamer, he got access to our X page and he'll be representing Wurm Online in the streamer / youtube community from now on. And I would like to know what that path is taken, instead of doing the official anouncement, like we did get when we needed a CM and the current one for some more moderators I've seen on Discord. So it would be nice if people stop defending Army and instead start asking the same question: Why hasn't our CM made an OFFICIAL announcement that streamers could apply for that job Hamtad got.
  7. If you put two gnomes at the same tile, one having an item, one not having one; would they steal from eachother over and over again? Would be something nice to test, I think. Thorin
  8. Can you link me to the official topic where streamers are told they can apply to become part of the Wha... Wurm TV? Because other as some half-cryptic message in the VI of 2 months ago, I haven't seen squat. So this has nothing to do with me or those you think are my friends, but all about fair chances which - imho - aren't been given. Instead we got some vague mention of it, nothing official and all the sudden we have an "official representive" So perhaps I'm suspicious, but I got a bloody good reason for it. Edit 2: I've been searching the forum over an hour and I haven't found ANY reference about people being able to apply to become a part of Wha.... Wurm TV. Even the two posts of Army mentioning it, only said that official news will be posted later (when? 🎵In the year 2525, if men are still alive?🎵) Absolutely nothing about when people can apply to it, how the old streamers would be implemented into it. NOTHING! So @Armycare to explain to the community why Hamstad applied to a job of which we haven't seen an official anouncement?? And why we haven't seen an official anouncement?
  9. The issue for me is the part I enlarged and put in bold. You're basically the second person who admits dat Army didn't contact him / her. Which gives me the impression that the entire old VEN streamers are just pushed aside for someone who's never been part of VEN in the first place; but just got chosen because he had the largest audience right now. To me that smells of favoritism as well as disrespect to those who have worked hard to make VEN big. Even now, while it's something that's going to end. Quite often, the next step following that, will be someone getting a promotion (s)he doesn't deserve, before the whole thing goes down the drain. And somehow I have the feeling that already started; when comparing the VEN start and Wha.... WurmTV start, with the latter certainly getting more negative publicity as good ones. And in this case, negative publicity after all the "errors" and "mistakes" made in the past half year are NOT a good thing. Even despite an "Ich habe as nicht gewüßt" appology. Thorin
  10. You'll know when that's going to happen the moment they rebrand the game again in "Whale Online". Thorin 🤓
  11. I've been watching the two video's you linked to on the Wurm discord. The second one for 54 seconds; because I had enough of seeing / hearing the same "joke" for over 30 seconds, the first one for 26 seconds. I dunno what kind of audience you're aiming at, but if it's kindergarten or ground school age, you got the right group in mind. You're an official representive of the Wurm game on several channels, but if I had to decide whether or not I'd play this game based upon your video's; it'll be a big no. I dunno how you got this job, but you may take a look at the streams / video's of those who've been streaming Wurm for years. And learn. Edit: Regarding that now removed video: The most used expression in 1945 was "Ich habe es nicht gewußt". Seeing something similar in your post here makes me sick.
  12. He won't. He already said it two montsh ago: "He's going to do things his own way." Which means he's going to invent the wheel, the gun powder, the steam engine, generating electricity, building the first computer, write the first computer game code and so forth..........................
  13. So for the 2nd time in just as many months the regular streamers - you know, people like Dracaa, Gaffer Boffin, Fab, Faeran and Emoo (Bloody Drongo) - are ignored again in favour for some unknown dude?? This is getting ridiculous. Dracaa streamed her impalong, but instead of linking that to "X" it's ignored and we get an explanation what an Impalong is. Even the newer players who've joined the SFI and those joining the NFI in the next weeks know what it is, as the playerbase in itself is explaining that. To me, this whole post sounds like something set up to please the board, not the community. Which is a shame, because it's the same community that's making this game great. The only positive "news" is the mention of the resource nodes. And even most of that is already "yesterday's news". I'm disapointed by how our "community manager" communicates to us. As if we're little children that needs to be explained everything. Considering the majority of the community is most likely over 40 years old, that's the absolute wrong approach. Thorin 😡
  14. To add to this: The discussion between Steeveleeb, ShagsAngel and me went from the original intention of the thread and my question whether or not this event will happen at SFI, to a discussion whether or not Enki is still around and / or (not) being paid and thus not updating this thread. When most of Steeveleebs posts after November 15th - by his own request - were removed; the replies ShagsAngel and I made to those were becomming irrelevant as well. Because if that I wanted my posts to be removed and thus contacted ShagsAngel to ask her if it was ok if her reply was removed as well, considering that one was irrelevant as well. When ShagsAngel agreed to that request, I have send a PM to BrattyGirl with the request to remove the posts and post a reply stating the posts were removed by request of myself and ShagsAngel. Which she did. The reason I did thàt, is because I've been mentioning for some time now that it would be better for the ease of the community if the forum moderators mentioned why posts are removed, not to start a new discussion, but to show people why some decissions are made. And it wouldn't be "fair" if I had my and ShagsAngel posts removed, but not mentioning why. Either way, the deed is done, so can we all cross our fingers now, hoping Enki will update us soon (tm) about whether or not the Race-event will happen at SFI? Thorin
  15. Even if he's working somewhere else, he could post an update here, right? So far, nothing. And I; just like many others; would like to know if this event is even going to happen at SFI, if it's postponed or what. When we're told it's postponed for an uncertain amount of time, we know it'll happen at some point. Right now we now nothing. Which means we got a lot of Jon Snow's around here.... Thorin
