The one and only analogy thread!!

[Voice]

I think it was in the movie Skyfall that the character of Javier Bardem told a story to 007 about his youth on an island infested with rats and how they got rid of the rats. I would like to make an analogy here, so bear with me.

The story goes something like this. First they lured as many of the rats they could (players) in a bucket (the game COC) by hanging sweet, rotting fruit over it (TH-sniping/dead base farming). Then they removed the fruit and gave these rats nothing to eat for a long time (the update). After some time had past these rats started to attack and devour each other ('the way COC was meant to be played" or zero sum wrecking each others bases with GoWiPe). This created rats (the "winners") with an apitite for other rats (the "losers/quitters/whiners"). So after that, when there were only a couple of winner rats left in the bucket, they set these rats (the most capable destroyers) free on the island to hunt for other rats. These winners continued to succesfully pray on their own (active players advance, casual/inactives no longer) and in no time was the island free of rats (RIP COC).

Don't know why I felt like sharing this, but I just did.

Do you have a good analogy you want to share regarding the update? Please do!

Bump

No analogies people want to post here? I are sad

The forum has been flooding with analogies (good and less good) about the update. I figured we should bundle 'em here and see what lessons we can distill out of them and what chuckle's we can get out of 'em (lord knows the forum could use some lighthartedness, even if its lightharted complaining).

Oh well...

Nice story! I see this happening.

Like the idea of this thread but I'm not very good at analogies (And yes it was Skyfall, and it was disturbing hearing it in the theater)

Thank you for your input Michaello! Perhaps not as descriptive an analogy as I was expecting, but an analogy none the less. Let's see if we can make it to three analogies... After that, I will be satisfied

Trying real hard here, but not seeing the analogy...

Perhaps the thread title was not clear enough but this thread is for analogies only. If you could rewrite your statement into one, I'll accept it as such.
