Shrekism (political): Difference between revisions

A more radical view of 'shrekism' has lead to the creation of [[Anarchism]] - a developed view that wishes to strongly reduce staff moderation to a bare minimum, and reduce the number of rules limiting players to what they are allowed to do.  

''These reflect commonly suggested changes players from these crews suggest and aim to show the general aims of this group.''  

* Reduction in pvp and siege moderation, such as removing/changing the 'harassment' rule, enabling the use of /back after pvp death, and possibly allowing the use of glitches to gain entry to claimed bases (more extreme suggestion, see [[Anarchism]].

Shrekism is the de facto belief of most pvpers, which believe that players and crews who are unable to defend themselves with pvp are deemed 'weak', and will be automatically driven away or forced to learn pvp in order to survive. On the other hand, crews and players which are able to successfully use pvp to conquer and 'defeat' other crews are deemed the strongest.  

The views held by believers of 'shrekism' are not limited to pvp crews however, as many aspects (such as the ability to conquer land) has been favoured by players in more traditional crews, such as the [[British Empire]]. These are normally reflected in [[Empirism]]. Generally speaking, players that want a more 'active' playstyle of conquering and/or pvp will in some way or another share views of 'Shrekism'.

Shrekism is seen by many players of the opposite spectrum as being the main cause of server drama and friction, and as such there is a reasonably strong divide between players that believe in Shrekism, and other political philosophies such as [[Cysteenism]] and [[Passivism]]. They argue that pretty much all of the toxicity (such as spamming 'L' in chat, or trashtalking) comes from parties that support Shrekism, and that the server would be a better place when these members are more strongly moderated. It can be seen from the punishment tracker that players who follow Shrekism have well above average number of punishments, and many have already been banned for various reasons. Shrekism members argue that this is proof that the server and its staff are too sympathetic to builders and passive players.
