Thus is a youths reply. so I hope you preform what you decide. I neve count my has been cause that is what will do me in! Pride will kill you.
I haven't really read any of the thread, so this is my raw experience and opinion... (Mostly experience--here, elsewhere, and other games, throughout the last seven years.) Also, "immature" is a subjective term, so opinions may be much different for many people... People usually tend to become [more] immature as they rank up. Excluding Staff and people who purely join to spam or be trolls... Often users promoted to Staff learn to mature quickly, or are weeded out real quick. :/ Some of the most immature people in ECC's history are/were Presidents+ (now) or started showing their "true colors" late in their Resident days or when they got Mayor. Now, higher ranks tend to show more of the mature users, but that is because people who generally have more maturity than others have greater patience to get a higher rank ... Or do not get hated or in trouble to the point of making ranking up difficult. Although... Sometimes ranking up brings about the hidden maturity in people. It really depends on personality type and the people someone hangs out with. Some immature people do want to be respected and not hated, so they mature. However, most do not give a sh*t and just don't care.
I don't think so tbh, I was trying to help a mayor out yesterday, he got really pissed and started shouting at me. Not very mature. But builders take in everything you help them with (also because they dont really know much about the server) and they don't get angry at you. I think that your wrong :/
*cracks knuckles* lets get this on the road. No, my opinion is that maturity is not gained via rank, based on many factors, firstly, if your lucky, you can go from builder to ecoleader in a day from the lotto, that person who has ranked up hasn't gained any maturity, i think what people are getting confused with, is time played VS rank. as people play more of ECC there understanding of how our community works influnces there interaction with other members of ecc, a buider with 5 minutes of playtime usually wont know how to interact with a 500 player economy server, nor, are they usually exposed to the various personalities and cultrual backgrounds of our players. as for the argument of grammar, once again, if you see a large base of people using grammar in a set way, you begin to assimulate to there grammatical mannerisms, so, as you play more, you begin to adopt the traits of thoes around you Basically, to summerise, i dont believe it is based on rank, but rather, playtime. *begins to mutter* "what do you mean tycoons dont help >.<."
I've seen builders more mature then you :3 I can be mature when I want to, and I do, most of the time.
out of everything i read in this post this comment makes the most since maturity does not come with rank at all. also a comment made by 12345shane (shane is also my real name XD) "Also maturity has alot to do with you. Ranks decide it, you do it." i agree with part of that statement but ranks do not "decide it" you do, ranks r just a badge of honer, earns u respect among the community, but in no way do u earn nor learn maturity from ranking up some of the most immature players i have met were "high ranks". i think with high rank, as a person earns more respect, a person begins to loose respect for there fellow players and in turn they loose maturity. so all in all i say no. maturity dose not come with rank. if u do become more mature after ranking up then thats just the true you comeing out and i applaud that
How would you define maturity, And Ofcoarse there are builders more mature than everyone, that's just how it is
Well, here are my thoughts. I don't really have a certain choice on this type of thing. But I do certainly know what maturity is. At least, in my opinion, maturity does not come by age, social group, or importance. You are defined how mature you are, by the things you do, the things you say, and who you REALLY are. However, I do see that when you start to rank up, more responsibilities come to you. You start being knowledgeable enough to know how to act, and how to be, in order to fit in a mature social class. I have really certain thought on this. But something I'll always stick to is that age is not to be compared with maturity. Myself, I am quite young, and not only me, but a lot of other young fellow users are more mature than a lot of older users.
