Buzz Sound Off! MadamNyxxie
In this segment, you will be given a weekly topic to debate about. You will have the chance to post your opinions, comments, criticism and ideas on the Game Forum, when the proper official topic is made. The topic is made at a random time during the week to ensure that many players get to eventually voice their opinion!

Next week, 5-10 (depending on how many we get) random opinions will be placed on the Buzz along with a new debate question!

NEXT WEEK'S DEBATE!
Mass bans was a hot topic this week. Many players were banned! Do you think this is for the better?

THIS WEEK'S DEBATE!
What is your take on Bootleggers marriages? Should a feature be created to accept this unofficial union? Should married players get benefits? What? Tell us your opinion!


I personally think it's bollocks, why should someone be married? Nah, in my eyes it makes the game look nooby. There are way more important features to be introduced than a church where people can get married. And I can't see which benefits they might have, but it sounds nooby to me.

Well, I'm not totally against the whole marriage within Bootleggers idea. It's a good way to build trust between two friends, most of all. Personally, I'd never get married, I personally don't like the fact that you have to continuously talk to someone because you are bound to them online, I like to talk to various different people. I don't think a feature is really needed, I mean, what can it actually do/fulfill? Except that of what you see on the married couples' profiles..? I've seen this feature on various other games, and it's mostly a way of getting money out of the game (Buying your wife/husband a ring of some sort.. Which I think may be a good idea in Bootleggers. Benefits, I think not! Or, if I knew what the certain benefits were, it would depend. Money, noo! People would use it to their advantage. Overall - I ain't against the whole marriage scene, but I personally wouldn't do it. It's not silly to some people, but it is to others, a totally two-sided argument, if you like.

Marriage on bl - mundane and in my opinion stupid for those who take it seriously. No benefits because it would just be another feature that people take advantage of with no reasoning.

I think BL marriage should become an official feature. It should display on their profile if they are married and 'have an affair' 'divorce' options should be available at all times.
