stop exaggerating. I don't see where the "big deal" is when the subject of whale watching was just brought up when somebody conveniently suggested (an awful idea) of catching whales. Is there an ongoing thread about whale watching? Is there ongoing drama about this topic? No. And besides whale watching may seem pointless but if the idea was elaborated on I don't see the hurt in adding such an activity. Yes, it is pointless to go "watching whales" when you could be looking for bugs and fish to catch. But what if the game had 50 species of whales and 50 species of dolphins to actually record? On top of that there could be a trophy/furniture/prizes for the player who has spotted all the whales/dolphins (and mind you they all come during different months and times). There is some point to the idea now.
When did I lose my right to state my opinion, you can flame and disagree all you want, but i'm not changing it. So leave it.
To me the idea of '50 whale and dolphin species to record' seems pointless to me.
Stop being annoying and forcing every single person to agree with you.
I've seen your posts since you've been here - if someone doesn't agree with you, you go ALL LIMA HEIGHTS on them and try force them to agree with you, it doesn't work that way so stop doing it.
