I don't actually remember locking the threads, sorry, that's been quite a while. And we've come a long way as far as the cursing and accusations are concerned--I think if the post had happened last week, the moderator actions would have been a lot less surprising.

I'm sorry for bringing it up again, was having a bad day at work yesterday. It's in the past and no harm was done. No hard feelings.

To anyone who is not familiar with the Game of Thrones series, it was an obvious and blatant personal attack. Your warning points were rescinded the same day that they were given. Should I really apologize for not reading/watching the Game of Thrones? As a moderator, is it my responsibility to watch the Game of Thrones?

Of course not. But I was pretty flabbergasted that I was punished for something as innocuous as saying "you know nothing" in an environment where people frequently curse at one another, accuse each other of cheating, lying, etc.

But, whatever, you obviously mistook my intentions and didn't get the joke. No big. But why in the world were you locking the threads I started trying explain the joke/defend myself? That did nothing but further the feeling of persecution.

What about all those poor little knights in overcrowded realms with few opportunities for advancement...  :-[

Where...where does that realm exist!?

Beta! Beta! Beta!

When I started playing BM I was a high school student.

Now, I'm married, have a BA, and am in graduate school.

That's because he knows nothing.

Careful, I got warned by moderators for making that joke. With no apology and my threads locked when I tried to defend the joke.

These are funny! I also think the Joker one about starving peasants was particularly good.


Thanks. These were a nice change of pace from some of the recent forum drama and serious discussions about the future of the game which has had be pretty bummed out.

The survey will be good.


As for the new forum name I think "OOC Game Discussion" would be a good title.

My point was that they shouldn't have OOC chat, period;

In game, essentially yes.

On the forum.... no.

Coke as a generic word for soda is the worst slang ever! It refers to a specific type of soda! I can't tell you how many times when I used to work in a restaurant some Texan would get all mad after saying they wanted a coke and got a coke. "But I wanted a fanta!"

No.

If someone asks for a Coke, you ask "what kind?"


Granted, the guy shoulda known something was wrong when you didn't.

What is this "pop"?

Aaaaaaaaaaaand go!

;D

I think he means "coke."

[Wasn't the entire point of SMA to keep it all in character?]

Its a bad idea anyways IMO. People don't go, "hmmm yeah remember that thing from last month? That was great." People talk about events somewhat soon after they happen and a week is not that. I could see 2-3 days being fine but I am not a fan of a week being the time. Personally I don't like the idea of trying to apply a strict amount of time because while some things it fine to wait, other things after a certain time the event is no longer worth talking about depending on the event.

Are you kidding me? People hold grudges like no other in this game and frequently bicker about things in the past. See the Glaumring talking about the Terran-Kabrinskia war issue, for example.

I edited my post; I was actually replying to your previous post, claiming that nothing bad ever happened on the locals.

And yes, those things should have been moderated; I actually did moderate 2 of the 3 things, and I wasn't a global moderator when all the Zuma-bashing was going on. My point is, moderators shouldn't have to moderate that crap. Moderators locked the Zuma thread, so a new one popped up. Anti-Zuma comments percolated half the active threads in the Dwilight board. Anti-Aurvandil commends percolated about a quarter of the active threads int he Dwilight board. Players (some, not all) are too passionate, apparently.

And that passion should be in-game. Work on establishing continent-wide gossip guilds. The 'Moot on Dwilight is a great communications channel, even though it only covers about 1/3rd of the island.

All of you who love Dwilight, and I do, consider this. Wasn't the entire point of SMA to keep it all in character? And yet we have all these complaints about not allowing this OOC chatter.

Except that both of those things were OOC complaints about OOC issues. You really want people to take their complaints about how a GM is negatively affecting the game into... the 'Moot? Or people's suspicions and complaints about possible Aurvandil cheating... to in-game guilds? That sounds like a terrible idea. If the 'Moot became filled with OOC messages about "they are cheating!" and "the GM cheats!" I would like literally tell them to shut up and, guess what, take it to the forum... because that's the place for that, not the game.

What's up with the BM Logo on the forum today? Is today something special I'm not aware of?

Not a very good joke...


We need you back!

[should]

I would be fine sinking every continent except for Dwilight and just making everyone play one noble on Dwilight, honestly.

I'm not saying this is what we should do, I'm just saying I wouldn't really be that upset about it....
