really quite dissapointed, in fact, disgusted, in the behaviour of the 4e, especially Skittles. it seems quite clear they cannot be true sports people or win any matches in the mount and blade warband game (especially skittles)and i think we have to really sit down and question ourselves whether this is really the standard we want to set for the young minds of darlington and the wider north east

This post is quite late coming since we disbanded a little while ago and it is mainly due to me being away and working but also in part me not knowing quite what to write or how to say it. Baffling as it may be, I’m sat here pushed to reflect in one post four and a half years of a community that has not only done so much within that time, but developed and grown over some of the most important years of our lives to become something I am genuinely so proud of today. Now we aren’t just a collection of random players in a regiment, but a solid group of mates.

 Starting the regiment back in January 2017, I had no real expectations of where it would go or how it would develop from a tight-knit group all from NRP. As time went on, people came and went, some stuck around, some left the game, and some players went elsewhere. Everyone, however, left their mark on the regiment and brought something to it. Being as competitive, active and big as we were for so long, the biggest achievement for me was its consistency in both activity and atmosphere. This space we created was something to look forward to joining every night and we had fun- it was a real rock for me and a lot of people especially in times where you did need that escapism. This community provided that and even after we stop playing this game; that will continue.

 A lot of people put a lot of effort into the maintenance and running of the regiment and throughout that time we had wanted to be competitive- we were always among the top regiments and we did finally managed to achieve that by finally winning the cavalry league last year. Playing other regiments had always been the strangest but most rewarding experiences to have on this game. Close matches gave us that intensity- the happiness of winning and the anger of losing -which always meant we were trying to win and better how we played individually and as a team. Even as we got older and cared less and less there would always be an occasional match where the switch flicked and we found the fire that made the game so nerve-racking. Biggest take-away from that though was the relationship we had with other communities. That’s really what made the game. Regiments like the 4e, 9e, Nr6, Nr4, 1er, 2Lr, 7e, 6e, 5e, and the heavies brought competition and some of the people in different communities (mainly our bond with the 4e) have become great friends we will keep going forward.

 Maintaining the 8th always depended on a group of people to rely on. When I wasn’t there or when attendance was low we always had a core group of people to rely on the whole time. I cannot thank the team we had enough for that. The leadership of Stannis, Aless and Andros in the running of events, the undying commitment of Sebi, Lightning and Quack, the humour and trolling of Tom Freyr and Krishna, the raw skill of Tim, Shadey and Stefan and the Nr4 guys of Felix and Octa, the charm of the Italians Frank and Picco, the overwhelming presence of all the Spaniards, the joy brought to the ts whenever Baxter, Rastignac or Harford joins and a lot more brought by a lot of people I haven’t mentioned. That’s what ultimately made the 8th what it is and something I will always be proud of.

 Right now and for the future, we have a community discord so we can stay in touch and we are still a community playing games together all the time. I was only going to disband on that condition: that we would stay as a community. Mainly because we have spent all this time building this it would be a shame not to keep it going as to not surpass the game. But as it stands, we have and we will continue to do so. So in summary, the best regiment has now gone, 4e is shite and the game has now died but we still best friends for life.


Much Love xx

If you're "immunocompromised" then stay inside, don't go out. Or since masks work so well, wear a fucking mask. People who don't want to take the vaccine or wear a mask shouldn't be forced to do so.

They have, and they do. But why advise them to stay in their homes indefintely when there's a clear path to them not having to? You would rather advise millions of people to continue to stay inside indefinitely than suck it up and take a vaccine like everyone else, are you really that selfish?

It's my life. I shouldn't be forced to take a vaccine I don't want to take. From today onward I'll consider myself a super-spreader. Me and my dick will be considered super-spreaders.
A simple 'yes' would've sufficed

To be honest my aim is not to try and convice people like you. When you're in that situation, deep in conspiracy and misinformation, there comes a point where you're too far gone to listen to any kind of facts or reason. The reason you deem it 'unconvincing' is because its about data and fundementals of public health, not exciting conspiracy theories or cover ups that 'I swear happened!'.

More my aim is to try and convince anyone sitting on the fence reading your posts. Unfortunately, what you fail to realise is that when you type this nonsense people read it and some may even believe it. This is why it needs to be called out as soon as possible. In whatever circles you might be in it, just step outside it for a second and realise that actually you are in a vast minority of people- for a reason.

You can't give advice about health based on 'I think that' or 'I knew someone who'. It doesn't work like that. Yes its not as fun to think that there aren't conspiracies going on, and wow how boring is it that the human race created another vaccine that is completely safe and effective, based on RCTs that are some of the largest ever conducted.

Be better, because ultimately you are neither doing yourself or anyone else a favour by shouting this unfounded, unbased and dangerous rhetoric. I do hope, however, that you'll come to your senses before you or anyone in your family or who you care about is affected or you do indeed put anyone else in danger. There are a lot of families grieving right now, so at least have a little bit of empathy for those whose loved ones were taken before their time.

Take the vaccine if you wish to do so, wear a mask till the end of time if you so please. Don't force me to do either. Problem solved.

Until you get the virus and you're completely fine but you spread it to someone who is immunocompromised and can't take the vaccine or just hasn't been able to have the vaccine yet. They then develop serious complications, and may even die. That's on you. You caused that. Be honest, could you really live with that? Have some empathy, swallow your ego and please educate yourself.

You guys are missing the point. If vaccines grant you immunity against the disease, take it, why force me to take one if I don't want to? If I get rona and die, that's on me. Genuine question.
A. Some people that are immunocompromised can’t take the vaccine and they are gonna be pissed off if they get COVID (and maybe die) from someone that had the opportunity to take it and didn’t.
B. The longer it stays around, the more chance it has to mutate which is usually considered not good. It may mutate so antibodies gained are no longer effective or some other effect is present which isn’t good. Therefore, getting above the vaccination threshold where it can no longer replicate is a priority.
C. Even if you don’t die, long term symptoms like decreased lung capacity, “brain fog”, etc. aren’t good so not getting COVID gives you the absolute highest chance to avoid those effects and the vaccine gives you a very high percentage chance of COVID immunity.

I’ve heard two arguments against the vaccine which are not trusting the government and side effects of the vaccine.
A. Some people don’t trust the government because, in America, at one point and time they covertly tested things on the American people. Thankfully, in this instance at least, the vaccine has been certified and tested by multiple governments around the world who have it in their interest to make sure that this is a legitimate vaccine.
B. Again this is in America at least, people are worried about the side effects. There are reports that one of the vaccines causes clotting which is true. However, it was an absolute tiny amount of people who had specific circumstances. This lead governments to temporarily halt the roll out just to confirm that this occurred in a tiny percent of people. Some vaccines have applied for full certification instead of just emergency clearance. That means that not only have millions upon millions of people have testers the vaccines, the companies are certain that nothing is wrong with the vaccines. Also I’m going to be honest, extremely long term side effects are not known but side effects, in general, of the vaccine and of these types of vaccines show that there are very minor chances of anything developing.

A. I see your point here but I'd rather not take a vaccine that hasn't been long-term tested and that should be my right instead of being enforced upon me. Also I have a disease that can increase my chances of blood clotting for example. And there has been numerous examples of vaccines having extreme negative side effects, I don't follow this much but I remember a famous singer got vaccinated here and died a few days later. Pretty sure there's more such cases.

B. Didn't the virus already mutate and someone above said that the current vaccines already protect against these mutations?

C. You do realize that almost the entire population had COVID already (far more than were tested, also making the mortality statistically lower than they currently claim). That means the vaccine won't negate these long-term side-effects because everyone already had the virus. Regardless, my point remains that these side-effects are your own responsibility if you choose not to take the vaccine.

A. Agree about the different government part however WHO is basically in charge here, not the governments (making them influence-prone) but sure all that jazz might be a conspiracy, I don't know.

B. You can die from the vaccine like I said above. There are coverups for this and I know from personal experience.

What leads me to believe that there's something bigger at play here is the insane push for masks by the "(un)health experts" when it was PROVEN that they don't work, neither do the lockdowns. And also the "enforced" vaccines - my biggest problem with this. Also the death cover-ups. Also the "empty vaccine" scandal at WHO and some major political figures delaying taking the vaccine (arguably even taking it). I only connected the dots which may or may not be true. The recent political events and the mass-media manipulation made me extremely skeptical on a lot of things. Virus from someone eating a bat? Don't you think that's a LITTLE BIT suspicious? The US government especially is known to be shady when it comes to health science, just look at your Standard American Diet that led to the obesity pandemic of the american population after they demonized cholesterol. If they gave a shit about the american public, they'd be banning cigarettes for example (noone argued me on this point still?).

Nobody is trying to argue not to take your vaccine and oblige. But can you see why is it dangerous for governments to enforce putting substances in your body? It's an infringement upon your liberty as a civilian. Also, wearing masks is self-delusional since they don't work, if you don't want to get the virus the only thing you can do is sit at home alone locked up, and if that's what you choose to do then more power to you.

The vaccine has been tested extensively across ethnicities and ages and the worry that it will have long term side effects is of course natural, but it's the same for every drug ever taken, and vaccines have proven themselves over many centuries at being the single most effective and safe thing medicine has ever come up with. Any risk of blood clotting with the Oxford vaccine, for example, has been incredibly blown out of proportion. 1 case of blood clotting is reported for every 250,000 vaccinated. For context, in a healthy population of under 40, the population risk of a blood clot is 1 in 10,000 annually. Further, hundreds of millions of people have taken the combined pill and I am sure you know many people who have used a plane before, all these are way more dangerous for blood clot risks than the Oxford vaccine. Again, it’s all about context and risk vs benefit, and fundamentally there is extremely little risk for huge reward. And if you do have a blood clotting disease, you should talk to your doctor about the vaccine and if it turns out that this makes you unsuitable for the vaccine then you will be one of the people who we are trying to protect through mass vaccination, because public health is a right, not a choice, and you shouldn’t be put at risk of something avoidable when there is so much we can do about it.

The vaccines do offer protection against some of the mutations, but the more it mutates, the less likely it will. Fortunately, it is possible to modify the vaccines to accommodate for changes in viral protein coatings and surface antigen changes.

The data shows that the antibodies generated from previous infections only last about 6 months. People can get reinfected which brings about the chance of mortality/long term side effects all over again. The vaccine has already been proven (with national lockdowns) to reduce transmission rates and to reduce the likelihood of serious disease if you do catch it and develop illness. Public health is not an individual responsibility, but a collective one. Everyone must do their part in order to control a virus that affects everyone. Individual actions have a wider public health impact, and everyone must have a duty of responsibility to protect those around them. It's not a matter of someone trying to control you, but a matter of saving people from dying when they didn't have to. That should be an easy choice.

Just as an aside, there's a time and a place for anecdotal evidence, but it is not here. There's so much better information out there for you to access that will benefit you, I can give you some links if that would help.

Living life is dicing.

If all these BS lockdowns were for health they would have sorted out obesity and substance abuse a long time ago.

The governments of the world and the media blowing this situation out of proportion will have long-term consequences when shit actually hits the fan. You've had year long lockdowns over something that's not that deadly to the vast majority of the population.

Most of the population enjoy the lockdowns cos they live shit lives and would rather sit at home and binge watch netflix than do something about their shitty lives. People just needed an excuse to be losers. People who want to live their life, who want to achieve something regardless of how challenging life might seem never wanted any of this shit. No lockdowns, no travel restrictions, nothing. Keep being slaves.

If this isn't just a troll, I would just like to know if you would look into the eyes of those dying from COVID or their family members and say the same thing. Ultimately, this pandemic has an unimaginable human cost. I can list all the statistics and facts about efficacy of the vaccines, impacts of lockdowns and restrictions and cases/deaths trends but what I do think its important to realise is the very real suffering still happeneing because of COVID. Take India for example, are you really going to sit there and say it's 'not deadly' when hospitals are turning away patients, oxygen has run out and people are struggling to burn/bury the dead fast enough to keep up? It's appauling and my friends who have family there are absolutely terrified every single day. Remember with every single death on those charts, is a family grieving the loss of a loved one.

So please, if you don't do anything else, have some empathy, because ther rhetoric you're spilling is unempathetic, misguided and dangerous to those who can be convinced to think the same.
