Protesting miners gunned down by police
A strike begins with workers simply refusing to work.
Intimidation and aggression tactics ordinarily begin on the employer/state's side. As the workers arm themselves to guard against Battle of the Overpass style brutality, the violence level escalates. Ongoing violence supports the company/states' case to shut them down more often than it does the workers' case to keep up the good fight.
There's a reason thousands of workers are striking/demonstrating, and it isn't because they're a mob of ruffians who want to go around chopping up cops. What prompted a group of them to "charge" the police when all you have to do to strike is sit down and cross your arms? Add to that, the use of the phrase "illegal strike", which shows a clear bias by Al Jazeera.*
This whole thing stinks of setup. You can get away with a lot of shit in rural Africa.
*All strikes are illegal. It's the whole point of them. Concerted democratic action to force TPTB to accede to your demands. Codifying various strike behaviors as 'legal' or 'illegal' is counterproductive to the whole concept.

Dragon's Tear is no more..
I kind of prefer the old title.
Among Thieves sounds like a sub-title. Like, Final Fantasy : Among Thieves. Dragon's Tear was a definitive, epic title that could signify a whole series. Like, Final Fantasy. Sure, it had "dragon" and "tear" in it which are accepted as cliche, but they also benefit from being characteristic of a jRPG.

Maybe I'm just rambling because it's late and I'm tired.

Why are political or religious debate topics locked immediately, while this mud-slinging shitfest is allowed to rage on for 6 pages?
You're rating yourself pretty highly if you think anybody will see you in a thread a week from now and think "it's that lousy guy from before". I'm telling you that it isn't the way it works. Yes, we're engaged in a heated discussion here and now, in this thread, but in the Screenshots thread, nobody's going to call you out. You can even go try it right now.
Anyway, you seem to be more interested in bickering for bickering's sake.
Also, drop the social economical political biology, brain-surgeon-by-night act. You're not smart. You're just a troll.

And no, that's not how it works. People remember.

author=InstinctThis is a completely baseless accusation.
YOU may be like that. Some people enjoy pointing out flaws more than they do working on their games. It puts them on a pedestal. It is a giant sign that says, "Hey, I know my shit!" You can deny this. You can try at least. But I've seen it oh so many times. You can come up with justifiable-BS on how this is inaccurate. But it is oh so very true.
I completely agree with you regarding people who nitpick the tiniest of visuals. But I accredit it to people wanting to say something besides "looks good, man". Nobody wants to be the putz who says "i agree", so they try to flavor their thoughts. I'm guilty of this too. Look at what I stupidly said to Liberty's awesome spriting job Dx.
As someone whose been here for ~2 years now, there's no malice or jealousy behind anybody's nitpicking. We just look at a screenshot, and only see it as a sole item without remembering that it's part of a big picture.
edit : Oh, what I originally meant was : A week from now, after this thread's been locked, and we're all doing our own RM thing, nobody will remember that you were picking fights anybody who would bite. You'll post a gamepage and some screenshots, people will muddle in and say "looks good man... but you missed a spot". You'll either shrug it off or obsess over it like I do. Life will go on.

The day I made this thread, every single one of you branded me. And will have nothing good to say about me for a long time to come.
Nah, we have short memories. The vast majority of us are more interested in RMing than judging each other.
I think.

"the rm games of today aren't as good as the ones we thought were good when we were 12 and had no standards"
"yes they are"
"no they're not"
"yes they are"
"no they're not"
"closed"
^ This thread has progressed to this stage now, methinks.
Death of child too much for a game? How dark/mature can I go?
The beauty of being indie is that you don't have to worry about alienating a target audience, ESRB ratings, or any of that shit. Just do it and see what happens.

When I click Games, IMTS is featured on top as a banner. When I click 'Full Games List' from the dropdown it's not.
How did you get started in RM ?
A friend introduced me to RM95 when it was fairly new to the english community. I wasn't overly impressed, and wanted to get back to playing Warcraft 2.
Years later, I have the internet and I want to try it out again. Lo and behold, 2k is available. I download it, and the rest is history.
My only regret is that I didn't join the RM community ten years ago.
I drew some pretty badassASCII gobbledegook minotaurs for the hapless cursor hero to erase slay.
