(IR) 2nd ooc-thread of the 5th IR (open)

[Bugbear]

Or you know, you can solve stuff.

And the map is easily usable. It's in Edenas thread and saved to my harddrive. To good a work to pass by

Glares at Forsaken

Of course I'm sure that if James asks us not to use his map, we won't.

It was a really awesome map though.

Okay, I'm done with trying to involve myself in this trainwreck as of the end of this post. But TFO, I just want to say that I had a lot of sympathy for your position right up to the point where you made your response to James' first long post attacking your faction. From that point my respect for you dropped steadily until now I have to remind myself that you're only one player among a great many to restrain myself from quitting in disgust. You've been acting like a spoilt child, and I really have no idea why. It just makes no sense to me whatsoever.

It actually seems like you think you've 'won' by pushing James out of the thread... I really do have trouble getting my head around why you would think that. Honestly, it just completely baffles me that you would suddenly choose to act like that much of an ass.

 

[James Heard]

James, I'm sorry this happened and I'm sorry to see you leave.
Hopefully this won't sour you against all us crazy IR'ers
~Bugbear~

I didn't even have a significant problem with TFO until he started off with the foul mouth and manners. If anyone ever starts an IR sans TFO, I'd really be interested. So if you do something like that please look me up.

Good gaming!

PS. Considerations of copyright violation were primary on my mind when I started deleting my work. So, consider this me saying that violating my copyrights isn't a way to do anything more than to get me insisting that the ENWorld staff "fix" the problem at least on ENworld. If everyone wants to keep a personal copy, that's great. I hope everyone enjoys my work as I presented it, in good faith- but now I'm withdrawing my support for its usage in the public here. Thank you for understanding.

Hahahahahahahaha, proves what you know. Just glad you don't act like you do.

Really, why the hell do you all care this much and get this involved?

I won't deny it's satisfying somehow. But it wasn't my intent to push him out, just so you know.

Honestly, it just completely baffles me that you would suddenly choose to act like that much of an ass.

Well I tend to react kinda decisive and with extreme prejudice when I feel attacked. And yes real life has proven enough times what the consequences are of that course of action so don't bother telling me where it will get me because I know. And that suits me just fine. (it's not like it happens often).

 

[Rikandur Azebol]

I am not denying any of this (not agreeing either, I have every intention of keeping my own opinion out of it).
So supposed you are right it still has no use to get insulted because someone else has a strong sense how the game "should" work in his opinion.
You are both exagerating the whole matter until it devolves into personal insults and attacks.
I do not know who started it but now they are here. Call me old fashioned if you like but that is not what I call fun. Your agitation is prefectly understandable (as is James not liking your faction) but you are both reacting to it so extreme one might think real lives depend on it.
If this is the way oog discussions are handled in this kind of game I will have to speak with Serpenteye again before I decide to even work out more for my faction. Can't be a fun game like this.

Hi, Radiant.

Don't get disheartened by ... (Cruel smile at ranters) childish whining. They should yell at each other by @mail and save us all the space on the board.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't understand the whole point of discussion ! It only frustrated and enraged me. Goint along the line of this why dont pick up on other Players:

Iuz is eviller that Khen-zai ever would be, and nobody rants about him ?
Drow are cruel, yadda yadda, and nobody yells that they are overpovered ?!

Not to mention numerous other evil factions, sorry everybody for this yells.
For future, I insist, that people wanting to have arguments with each other should do it by @mail. Only notyfing others of the result and of the reason, if they have to !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

IC:
And as for Your CLAW's ... Iuz proposes training grounds, luxuries, recruits and good contracts with 50% share of loot. What is stopping CLAW from hiring itself by Empire ? We are alvays in great need of proffesional soldiers !
What is stopping You from becaming Hero of the Empire ?

(Insert here recruitment picture of Iuz in regal and patriotic outfit, pointing out at the person looking with nice smile, fierce gaze and taloned finger.)

Really, why the hell do you all care this much and get this involved?

I should hesitate to get into this, given the astonishing amount of vitriol it's already provoked, but I think I have the responsibility to speak for everyone and say:

This is a game. It's supposed to be fun. I would prefer to think that no one here considers vicious and childish flamewars to be fun. Thus, we don't like seeing them.

I'm going to step into the moderator shoes that have always been too big for me for just one second before I leave the boards for what could be a short or long while.

I'd prefer it if everyone was a great deal more civil in this thread. I don't mind it when things get a little heated, and I can't pretend to be above it because I'm usually one of the players involved. All I'm asking, is that everyone avoid any personal or even possibly personal insults. No round-about sniping at someone or anything like that. I've seen a degree of this already, and it should be stopped. That's not a big thing to ask for. I'd rather not come back to the boards and find the equivelent of a mess that has to be cleaned up. Sounds like a fair thing to ask for to me.

Edit: Looks like people made a mess before I even got out the door.

 

[Creamsteak]

I'm closing the thread, passing the torch to Brother Shatterstone and the other moderators, and going home. If none of them comment in this thread before I get back, I'll be sure to do so.

Serpenteye, please feel absolutely free to create your next thread, with the condition that nothing that closed this thread spills over into that thread. Also, if you need anything done with this thread, I'm here to serve. I'm sorry I have to close it, but it's the only way to be certain to cut things off.
