Fed up with the misuse of the word FARMING

[Mendax]

farming = up mine and wait them to produce

raiding or pirating = stealing from others

so stop with the world farming used to describe people who lose on purpose to have a lower score

The point of language is to communicate effectively. Thus, certain words have agreeded upon meanings. On this forum, it is generally accepted that the term "farming" is loosely defined as placing the attainment of recourses (and thus the advancement of you infrastructure) as the primary goal of the game. It is far less often that the term is used with your given definition in mind. Thus, I see no reason that people should stop using the current definition and switch to yours.

If you would kindly refrain from making such useless threads in the future, I am sure others would appreciate it; though I do admit that I find this sort of drivel mildly amusing.

Why in the world do people drive cars on a parkway and then park them on a driveway? The words aren't what matters, it is the meaning that people take from them. Go park your car on a parkway and see what happens.

And why should anyone believe your definition is the "right way"?

I would hope your answer has a source other than "Lesmog", considering how he seems to disregard the agreed upon rules of capitalization and punctuation.

You just went full <censored due to fear of ban>

Please do your research on gaming terminologies before you come into a gaming forum and accuse that people are using the wrong term.

Because they come from countryside and so know what is a farm.

I see. Well, I don't think there is any way I shall have a reasonable discussion with you from this point on; thus, have a good day, sir.

This Lesmog is proving very unpopular. Farming might mean a different thing to all of us, but who gives a brass razoo? Stop being a....definition Nazi.

Lol there is so much wrong here. You can't possibly be serious. Am I on TV?
