Contest For Huge Morgul (in Contests)

The Sword of Ashes [84x81] (+56) (Morgul-Hammer) $9,863,850

I know you want it, so take it. It's easy to do.

I am going to retire from CB2. I really feel I don't belong here anymore. The rules I played by don't mean anything anymore to me. So I'm done.

TO WIN: Tell me what is the most important aspect of CB. If your answer agrees with mine, I'll give it away. This will run until someone wins.

free economy.

I think the most important aspect of CB if the community involvement and closeness which truley makes CB unique to other games.

For me its simple.

You may be shocked but its not the winning.

For me its the chat/CM and the new people who you meet. People who you can talk/chat to about almost anything as long as its PG :-)

Fighting and/or helping new players out so they dont get confused and leave.

you shouldnt go btw. well... see ya.

For me it's the strategy. I enjoy trying to use a strategy that not only works, but breaks the mold of what everyone else is doing.

Well CB is a great game with a great community, nice people, not like most people from Runescape and junk. CB is just one of those games were you can't stop playing (addictive). There CB has a great community and is one addictive game!

Sorry to see you go Spaceman, you'll be remembered!

the most important thing about cb is the people. without all the crazy charachters we have around it things would get stale.. another important thing is Change month because it brings a new spark into the game.

sorry2 keep it short. On screen keyboard.

No one is close yet, remember keep it in my perspective.

Also you can guess multiple times.

camping?

To me i feel CB is run and kept up by a community that gets along much more than i have ever seen on any other multiplayer game, you see people helping others (sometimes not even stuff about CB), people trying to get their word out to try and "fix" something as they see fit, and to have more people join and join to get an even higher NUB to make people mad...=P

And you gotta respect the odd month changes, because without change theres nothing. And this is a very big change seeing you leave.....g/l in RL Spaceman. We know you cant stray off for too long though, so come back quickly...=)

It is a good game because you think about it while NOT playing?

Just taking something from what you've posted before hehe..

making loads of money (usd) while not even fighting, eh?

and the fact that it is free.

Free to play CB ^

Oxtetor, that is a very clever reply. I'm surprise you remembered that! But not quite what I had in mind. It is a reason I enjoy it, not the reason I played so heavily.

watching your equipment and character grow =)

You enjoy thinking of strategy's for being at he top no matter if its forging...fighting....camping, you wanted to be the best and enjoyed trying to get to that status.

The excitement of achieving something, a certain PR, or a rare from the store.

Its very addictive, alot of the times you feel welcomed and enjoy it, just clicking away and having fun.

Darn, thought for sure that was right!

Hmm, a way to escape from some stupid stuff in real life?

Now I am just taking guesses...

The competition?

to be a legend..^_^

I found exactly the same problem as you have, it is the same a in life. I have quit from CB 3 times. What you are really asking is what is life? To be the best is not to be happy necessarily, to be happy you have to find that something that interests you. It doesn't have to be the best or the biggest, in fact, its best if you didn't bench it on anyone else. The main thing is that you enjoy what you do. If you like camping and the challenge it gives then fine, if you like the forging side of things then thats cool also. What I found is that the only thing you cannot provide for yourself in life is other people, the community has it. There is no way that on your own you will find such a wide range of opinions and personalities that you can find in the community. The best aspect of CB is its longevity and the influence that you can leave after you have gone. You can help people to make the right decisions and help them in the long run after you have gone. What I am saying is that its best to leave a legacy than to just give up on a whim, take a leaf out of Jibfest's or Gun's book, help some newbys out and help CB to last that little bit longer...

It's fun!

Oh and the reason you have enjoyed it so long is the wheeling and dealing aspect of CB, how much $ you can make from selling something on to someone else when you bought it for 500k cheaper.... :)

SBD, very well said. And you have a wonderful reasoning behind it. Yes, this does also pertain in real life. And in a way I am asking, "What is most important in life" But I hate to say....this is not what I had in mind and doesn't compute with my answer.

STILL NO WINNER

Well CB2 has lot of ways to make money, whether it be camping, auctions, buying and reselling or just fighting like mad during wacky $ time.

But I think it's really the people you surround yourself with. You come to learn about each other and sometimes you learn alot about yourself and other people, which always makes life interesting and helps you thru the tougher times.

GL in life though SC, you were one of the first people that I chatted with in here.

the success of your character, camping or forging?

i think balance is the most important aspect of cb. balance within the game and balancing the game with real life. yin and yang!

friends, trust, food and shelter...lol (but since CB doesnt have food or shelter, scratch those two)

Interaction. Much like in real life, people come to like you and dislike you. By the same token, you come to like certain people and dislike others.

For example: As you and I both know, I didn't like you at first. =P After chatting with you about CB2 as well as life, we came to some agreements, traded goods, and now I would easily call you a friend.

Jonathan, for making this great game :)


The PG Rule? :P


You can use cb2 to farm as cb1 :)

Options. It's alllll about options.

Competition of stratigizing, utilizing your resources and becoming the best. The adrenaline rush of getting to the next 100,000 level of pr. The mystery a newness of what each new level bring,

You need to ahve a love for anyhthing you do, whether it be a career (if you hate it you really want to quit and do something else), someone to care for, and this game, if you didnt love it, it wouldnt be in the back of your mind 24/7 and wouldnt force you to get on every chance you get. If you love your job, you wake up every morning rushing to get there.

Doing exactly what you are doing right now, making other people do what you want, by giving/promising them something they want... So that they behave to meet up the goal you set, or guess what you have in mind...

How CB is soo much different from other online games. It's unique

having so much fun, and being in debt to you :D... hahaha but of all seriousness........i just like the competetive spirit.

Or how CB has lots of BA, 7-10 every 10 minutes, that wants you just to stay there, use them up, and wait for more.

Making a contests post and letting it go over 100 posts, J/K

The unique friendships that you have made here. Although you've not met them in person, you firmly call them "friend". Without friends in r/l or here... both would be terribly dull. :)

being able to spend loads of time just on this little game :)

to bring out the inner you

You might also like to manipulate the economy by buying/selling goods...

the most important aspect of Carnage Blender, is the growth of the community.

here in this game we have a sense of community unlike any other place i have found. i have better talks about life and things here then anywhere else. without the chatrooms, cb would still be a great game, but with the community here you have a perfect one. here you can build a reputation for youself, you can be somebody important. not everyone here is the social God of their community, we are the regulars, some lower on the social scale, others higher. but here, we all start on the same page and we can make something of ourselves. we can build a reputation for ourselves through being good at fighting, strategizing, camping, forging, anything!

Nixon Jibfest put it perfectly when he said that Reputation is more important than cash. what you have made for youself here is nothing compared to the reputation you build here. here you learn how to treat people with respect, gain others' respect, and make something out of yourself. these are all skills you can carry over into real life! think of CB as a "training community" he we train you to be a better person, and make something of yourself.

that is what the most important aspect of CB is to me, building a reputation, and making something out of yourself. without a reptuation of some sort, you are just another guy in another game, here you can be somebody, have some friends and even when you dont feel like fighting, you can come back and hang out with people who have missed you!

even if you dont feel like there is a point to moving up in cb2 spaceman, you dont have to quit, you have friends here who will miss you. come back and hang out with us sometime! ang good luck in real life :D

The most important aspect of CB is to have fun, this is a form of entertainment, and as such requires you to have fun. Sure skills can take you far, but if you do not have fun doing it, well thats when it ends, in my opinion. So I say you are no longer having fun, and as such are leaving.

On a personal note, I will be sorry to see you go :)

the best aspect of carnageblender is the ability to unleash as much carnage and destruction as possible... and the best part is its legal.

The camaraderie you share with fellow elite campers. :)

My bet is with SoulCalibur, not because he mentions me, but because I think you built yourself a very respectable reputation on CB whether it was as a fighter, forger, or camper.

Lucky for you that you don't have any money to bet with Nixon ;)

Becoming the best!

Getting all that CB money!

Everything about CB!

Thanks Nixon! i hope all you guys stick around...i get lonely in here sometimes :D

I would say that the most important aspect of CB is that you treat this game as a game and just have fun. You are given many different ways to accomplish this, whether it's camping, forging, fighting, chatting, chatmailing, etc., and that is what makes this game great.

People have tended toward treating this as something more than a game lately (I won't pretend that I haven't shown this weakness) and I believe that's what has turned you off to CB. I have only continued on myself because of chat and a few people that I have come to see as friends. The game has become secondary and almost just a way to pass time.

If I should happen to win I don't want the Morgul Hammer. Give it to some new player. It doesn't matter to me.

No winner yet.

Ok,

Try this

The goal is to have the biggest baddest weapon in the game. To crush your enemies under your feet. To beat all others to a bloody pulp.

Jon?

not goal,aspect.

change month

The clans.
Collecting things.
The way things work and devolop.
Buying, Selling of great items.

Since no one is even close I'll give a hint.

*HINT*
Remember I am one of the very very few mentees of Nixon. What one thing does Nixon always avoid? What does he stress most and why am I the longest lasting/most successful mentee?

Being able to camp a great rare.. and give it away. The ability to be generous!

The time you take and explain to them, about learning the game?

Being so succesful, and not to give up?

getting that great thing to happen like getting your first rare from the store?

the time.

not spending usd

I have been asked a few times to tell ONE person so that I may not change my answer. I have no idea why I would want to but NO. I don't have anyone I could trust the answer with, too much NW for that.

Another hint?

the ability to do good?

nixon avoids thinking of the game as a chore or money making avenue

No more hints for now. I'm actually shocked so many friends on this game and no one can piece together some easily known history and logical thinking that no one has yet to produce.

help others?

Elaborate with some of these answers =\
You can't some up my thoughts on the game and why I play with two words.

Helping others so they can have as much fun as you?

maybe.. you feel the most important thing on cb is being genorous and helping to make others happy?

MegamanV elaborate more. You are closer than anyone I believe.

Also, many players are very clever! I have been asked very well thought out CMs that give slight hints. I applaud Ranger on this mostly.

Making others happy by helping their strat or teaching them how to forge, you may even give then free gear.

Like you see someone struggling and you have a bunch of stuff you give them something and be generous to help them out,.

Helping ppl less fortunate than you :)

make the non-successful people more successful like you?

you feel that this game is fun and feel that helping others to enjoy it as much as you do is great. i think you value mentoring as well. you feel that since this game is not a way to make usd it is nice to bring a smile to someone's face by giving them a gift is also cool.

To bring pleasure to less fortunate members of carnageblender is what i think you feel is the best part about carnageblender. The power to change someone's day, month for the better all because you could teach, or give them an item they have been longing for is an amazing feeling.

you trying to tell the newer players to stay, you be generous to the community

try to be the best and beat the rest.

friends first

I am ending this when I wake up tommorow. I know I said I'll let it runs until someone wins but I don't think people understand me as well as I assumed. I will give out the answer if no one has it and open up a different contest for the same answer but....TRY! You can figure it out!

You feel that since you were helped so well by the community that you'd like to give back to it. So you help noobs by acting as a stepping ladder laying down a concept of strategy or giving away of items. "For the first shall be last and the last shall be first" type thing.

The most important aspect of CB is the economy. Whether it is the USD conversion, the black market, the camping of items or what have you. I know that you personally had a lot to gain from 1 month of camping. It paid for that little college mishap that you owed your parents for, and I also know that you had a rivalry with any camper that opposed you. :)

Getting to know others.

Only thing CB is really meant to be.

(This is My own view but we'll see)
CB is important to you because it gives you a alternative way to glorify God, and by helping noobies you are glorifying the creator. Even though you aren't necessarily sharing your devoute faith you're giving them every chance to see God at work in you, and if they ask and tell them your a christian it gives you more satifaction then having a huge character.

The people in the game?

forging.

Is it the unsung heros of CB the campers? Which keep the economy afloat, they manage to keep a low profile and not publicized.

OR the solid mentors that unselfishly donate time and money to noobs that end up becoming strong.

Reaching a real high standard then next time trying to beat it?

The most important aspect of CB is loyalty and integrity between players.

Glory very well said, but it's not the most important. It is a major factor in all my transitions though.

I would add being completely honorable (being able to be trusted by those you associate with on the game) and not stooping to the level of hypocrisy in order to get ahead.

to play as an individual so as to accomplish your individual goals, while playing as a member of a clan to achieve clan goals while playing as a member of the big team ( CB Community) and doing your best to enhance the community with your very presence by displaying fair play and sound judgement in all aspects of the game. Earning the respect of the rest of the community by your gaming actions and chatted words.

way too many posts in this thread for me to even think about reading them. If I have repeated anyones prior statements , I do apologize.Once again, I took the lazy way out by scrolling directly to the bottom and offering up my overblown opinion.

Spaceman we will miss you. Atleast now you will have time to concentrate on classes and not depend on misguided souls like me to help bail you out :) Ryth

My guess is simple, to be kind of like Robin Hood. You camped, sell to the rich, and help the poor or the newb. I could be wrong but that seems to be what you were doing.

Getting enough people to jump on a free item post that it exceeds 100 posts in less than 24 hours?

heh, nice one mrwuss. I'll have to be number 100!

The most important aspect of CB for you was helping people. One can learn a lot about themselves (both inter and intrapersonal relationships) by being generous. By being generous, you were setting examples of how people should live their lives. CB was never about greed, but about making friends and having a good time.

Helping others and not to make enemies ? ;)

The best part about CB, is that (most) players are accepting of new players, and dont treat them as lesser players because they have yet to learn the details of fighting, or forging, or whatever it may be. The players who have been here longer have a positive attitude towards any players, answering questions that could easily be answered with a simple: "Read the FAQ/Help section, newbie!" Mentors can also be found giving "starter packs" of armor/weapons to their mentees, and for most new players, thats probably enough to encourage them to stick around and see why CB is so great for all these people. :)

In a quick summary: Veterans are nice to new (and not so new) players, and show great generosity and patience with many players.

i'll tell you what is great about cb, and i'm sure most of the people here can agree.

it all started when i finally got a computer, and i am a real dnd or rpg gamer, and my ps2 just got stollen. i play games as a way to get away from real life, or just something to keep me company.

i must have went through like 20 online games that just wasn't all that good (you know). saw one that said carnage blender (doesn't even have a rpg name), and i was like this is probably gonna be like the rest, but i tried it anyways. even shocked me more when i logged on was that there was no graphics...lol. but i learned to never judge a book by it's cover. so i gave it a try.

i started out with a whip...lol, didn't know my up from down. there was alot of people that helped me and kinda told me the basics. when i realized i liked it i read some of the faqs. been playing for about a year now and i'm still a NOOB...lol.

this game is very addicting. but it's addicting for alot of reasons.
i don't know how many times i laugh at the people chatting, or talking to new people. i even have a friend that i have known all my life and this is one of the ways we keep touch now. there's history in this game, and alot of skill and competition. whether it be camping or getting the best strat (which i'm not good at either). but this game keeps me coming back everyday (sometimes it seems 100 times a day) just to know what's goin on. this says alot about a game.

in fact i'm so shocked at how good this game is, i'm surprised it's free...lol

i could probably go on forever (in fact i think i already did) but this is what i think is the most important aspect of the game.. it's not one thing, but it's a whole COMMUNITY of things.


my one essay for cb...lol
Biscuitback

CB2 was a lot like life you had to be competitive but it was in a fun pure way not malicious. Getting to know people and helping them, it was like family.
The heart seems to have left CB2 along with some good players, it seems as though no one cares about what CB2 really means. A world where you can help shape it. The players make or destroy that world, and now it seems like there's no sense to it.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ

This is closed. I am very sorry but I can no longer argue against the logic that many CB players have put to keep me here. I am overly shocked at the amount of participants not in this thread, but in CM asking me to reconsider and "wait another week". I really can't thank the CB economy for pulling together like that. Ranger deserved the QB because he had some smooth talking for at least an hour reasoning. Many in depth and intellegent conversation and people I have never met before CMed me asking things on why I'd leave.

I have to be fair though! No one did answer 100% BUT wishmama was very close and almost perfectly on top. I was impressed and I doubt she did research but I guess she knows it all =P

So in short the answer: "The best aspect of CB2 is the ability to influence the mass without the attention. I can aid newbs and top players alike and not brag. I get to be silient, stealthy and yet give to everyone. As Lao-Tzu mentioned, The best way to govern is to not be known that you are in charge. I am not in charge, but I do feel a certain level of influence in players new and old alike."

For simple terms. I enjoy mostly the ability to help out everyone but I don't let it known. I've never really been one to go boosting or bragging about cheap deals and free things. I think it is important to give without waving your own flag than anything else.

This thread may seem to argue that, but this was the best way to see how the community felt about CB, not about me giving something away.

ANYWAY, wishmama, since you neglected the part where I didn't want to be noticed or rewarded for my deeds you do not get the grand prize. You do however get a 1.5 million NW Blade of Thuringwethil.

what a crummy reward! ^^

It was that or a combat gi =P If she really wants to trade for the CG she can.

Sound kind of like all my answers...=/ o well...lol....congrats wishmama

Sad to see you go Spaceman...=/

i know the contest is over but i joined because the people that played were nice and to (most important and enjoyable) make it to the top. i wanted to become one of the top dogs, cont playing and have some fun then move on to a different game. it is sad for me to see some of the really active guys leave the game and i've lost a lot of my steam for playing anymore.

spaceman stopped camping means that you can now actually buy rare items in store, rather then him taking every last one of em

congrats wishmama

smallpaul1 your answer was in fact number 2 and very close.

Thank you everyone
