I'm not sure how you haven't grasped the overall message everyone's trying to get to you. Going to make one more effort before I write this off as you trying to troll everyone.

Yes. There are loose analogies between Salem and reality to a certain degree but the solutions are the same. Don't like your government? Quit whining and go through the channels available to change it. That didn't work? Move somewhere that is more in line with what you think is fair as the person who is not in power. You're not going to overthrow CG but it doesn't mean you can't switch servers or just god forbid stay out of their way. If you don't like that Salem is designed with the potential for these power dynamics quit moaning and play FarmVille then. Everyone here knows what they're getting into and won't have sympathy for you. Same thing applies to real life last I checked.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I was born.

Yea I do. Its an observation that I compared with the American government. I frankly don't care about the candy gang I was using them as an example. I don't want this to be a thread where people complain about the candy gang. I want it help start making people organize instead of having a "woe is me mentality". Or for the optimist just to convince the candy's to stop raiding.


The Candy Gang does not raid. They liberate.

I think you've missed me completely I was just sharing a comparison that I found interesting. I found it ironic coming from a game like this. I don't want others sympathy I was trying to share something that I found interesting. As for the "overthrow" I don't see why I'd want that because they haven't done anything to me. I was more interested in how the power dynamics came to be then whats done about them. But that's my fault. Should have been said simpler so sorry to irritate.

I think everybody here reached the obvious conclusion that you are an idiot who got raided by the Candy Kids and are now butthurt about it.
