User blog comment:Jeremiah Garland/POTCO vs. Minecraft?/@comment-3432656-20121212193748

Which is more popular on the "Pirates of the Caribbean Online Players" Wiki. Well this is a interesting topic to discuss and I thank Garland for posting it :) When it comes to overall and international of course Minecraft wins. It's extensive content and sandbox type worlds make things practically endless. Always something to explore, always something to do, always fighting for you don't die of starvation :P, and the ability to build mostly anything you want. The main reason and feud that has existed since 2011 is that POTCO is yes, hardly updated. Role-play and new members from POTCO joining this wiki keeps this wiki literally active. Back in the day people wouldn't conduct role-play in Wiki but to only use the Wiki as a way of advertisement, expression of ideas, and a place to have your country/guild/faction written down and of course; to impress others.

Since nearly or all the admins play Minecraft (Including myself sometimes) and a goodly amount of the users who edit this wiki play minecraft daily. I admit I play Minecraft, I enjoy it, I think it is better than POTCO on a broader scale but I still play POTCO because I kind of grew up playing POTCO since Early 2008. Users who play Minecraft now complain about the game not being updated while their ignorance to what is going on the game daily, the number of players on POTCO, and the frequent events that occur in game that isn't role-play. Most of you either complain about Game lag (You most likely don't play everyday and the game needs to update it self on a larger scale in background/hidden updates that occur every time you log on) or you complain about it not being updated. Hate to break it to you gents but it's called make a new pirate and look at that old memories (nearly old for the oldest of players :D) and quests you completed. What would happen if POTCO was to shut down in a week? No messages or Grog Blogs went out. You just come to find out Disney just shut down the game one day. You would all feel bad you never got to spend your final days on POTCO and most likely all come back to try to get POTCO back up and running. Live your POTCO player's Life to the fullest. You never know when it will just suddenly end.

What I dislike is that there is occasionally too much chatter about Minecraft, too much talk and too much off topic random nonsense that belongs on Twitter or Facebook. That disturbs me. We are the POTCO Players wiki when most of the users were players and now are just former players. You all know who you are. To me it is almost like betraying one's country (Not really but the idea is). You users who chat on the chat, or edit the wiki all the time when you do not even go on the game even for even once a week or every 2 weeks. You just stopped completely and went inactive. I can sometimes understand that if you are focusing more heavily on life, or your studies. But when I heard we all play minecraft all the time, When I heard or see those videos that you all post on your Youtube, it saddens me to see you just have a name relating to POTCO yet you play Minecraft, yet you have the nerve to just abandon it completely. This especially for the admins. "Admins just have to deal with the wiki" Well let's say the admins are the Congress of the Unites States.... yet you go live in China and spend all your time there. In reality. You wouldn't hold your seats in Congress. You would be let free to go to China.

You have the nerve to leave POTCO for the most ill-thought reasons reasons which could be easily solved (The game is active -_-, the game gets new clothes/GM events, holidays, etc, etc, and you could just make another pirate) and go off and play Minecraft yet you the admins of this wiki who are suppose to be the Government OF THIS wiki, the people dedicated to prevent the Wiki rules from being broken and are not even POTCO Players now to which now play some other game. Garland is excused because POTCO isn't available in Cyprus and Minecraft is avalible in most countries :P. For the rest of you I want to hear your pathetic excuses and just laugh at them. I now know why you admins are as they called "Hated" You have all lost touch with the foundations, principles, and MAIN IDEA OF THIS WIKI? Please read the name of the Wiki "Pirates of the Caribbean Online Players Wiki" so now tell me.. are you a POTCO Player?
