Smoke ban, simply counterproductive. My reasoned argument.

Pish im not looking at this in a bad way at all. Cigs just reached godly status like that of Oni Set and anyone who did not have one will whine. It also makes items that I don't think they will edit jack up in price so yeah The Great Smoke Inflation Day.

the oni set wasn't censorship, it was just poor planning.

Nope but guess what? Your holding a priceless item and no one else can have it now unless they pay an assload of gold. You just uped your Gaia status rank.

[Nymshi]

So Gaia...who have you sold out to THIS time? stare

...

No really, I want to know where this one's coming from so I can know who to complain to.

I never thought of the Streisand Effect thing, but it does indeed make sense.

my Gaia status is academic against my value system.

i don't want an epic item, and i especially don't want a cigarette to be an epic item.

If you're more interested in account worth than freedom of expression, then I can't respect you.

Well, now Elitism has another body to be channeled through.
On top of that, the thing is smoking.
I love the irony in this. It has inspired me to write.

[Runeis]

Im not im just saying people will have things that others can't now and they will whine about it.

[Ringoringa]

*sigh* This entire thing is ridiculous. Just give us back the cigs! The entire SF is FILLED with complaints! WE WILL NOT SURRENDER! (Excuse my caps, but I feel it's necessary.)

Edit: I agree with the above. Now cigs are going to be a sign of elitism. For the love of the Sentinel, did Gaia think about any of this at all?

[Runeis]

About the whole cig thing? I could give a damn in truth. *shrug* Im not going to protest.

Indeed, a pressure point I had not even considered until that discussion point was brought up.


Hey, hey Gaia?

Guess what?

You've ******** made cigarettes cool.

[[The Shadow Hawk]]

The Streisand Effect. I like it. I like it a lot.

And it's so beyond true. I have never seen so many smoke-tastic avis in 3 years on Gaia. I've also never used a smoking item before. Now I am.

Yay reverse psychology!

Perhaps this was their plan all along.

Heh, it's hilarious, isn't it? XD Wish I had more smoking items. Then I'd be even COOLER! Maybe I should grab a real life cigar! THEN I'll REALLY be cool! biggrin
