Ew, do you actually still live in Roswel? Sorry man, that place is a hole.

Yep, EE is here.

Vaguely. Honestly, I don't think I want to hassle another forum with my civil rights interests, and I'm just not the gamer or geek I used to be. I mean really... the last book I ordered, of my own free will and without any compelling outside reason... was a book on working with legacy systems and updating them with unit tests†. I fear I may have matured. Then again, I'm up at 12:30 in the morning eating doritos after finishing GMing a session‡, so maybe there's still hope.

Forum Rules

Something I wouldn't say or show to my grandmother? That reminds me, I need to see if she'd be up for a trip to Vegas for a Chippendale show. If not I can just get them to sign a picture for her.

Also: amused that I had to unlink "Forum Rules" in the quote. Makes sense, but amuses me none-the-less.

†The problem is that to effectively and easily unit test you really do need code that's built to be easily testable, which most legacy code just plain wasn't. So moving forward I want to put in unit tests (for a variety of reasons) but I'm handcuffed on just how much I can alter the existing code (very much a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality, which plasters over how while it may not be "broke", it's also not very maintainable, which is a problem for a system we hope to field for twenty years or more)
‡Even then, I'm running a Changeling game, not a more combat or action focused game like I used to run. What? I play over Skype and maps and action are harder that way, so we found a system/play style that works for it/us.

One of the better places for my health issues..and due to recent rains we've had some actual flooding for the area...

 

[EscherEnigma]

No, I've been there. The place is a hole. And worse, it's a hole that it takes forever to drive into. The only good thing I can say about it is that it's not Yuma.

also is thesilversword anywhere he is my most special slippery friend

You were never supposed to mention our slippery times together!! that was our secret!!!

 

[The_Silversword]

So, hey guys! Nice to see you all again! I too got a vague email from customer service, I asked for specifics, wheres what I got:

"We have reviewed your case. While we cannot go into specifics, your account was found to be in violation Code of Conduct and/or the Terms of Use. As such, the account termination still stands.

This matter is considered closed."

So yeah, more vagueness, they also cancelled my DDI subscription and refunded me 12 dollars, even though I had more than 2 months left and 12 dollars doesnt cover 2 months, gah! Im so mad right now, part of me is like screw it I'll move on to Pathfinder or 13th Age or something, Another part of me is like we should totally do what the mods here dont want us talking about. I have so many conflicting emotions right now, I mean we had a lot of fun over there (I did anyways) and for them to just ban us all with some vague ToS/CoC violation crap, gah! Makes me want to just burn all my D&D crap, but its really not the game designers fault that they have sucky forums, or is it!?

Oh, by the way, I contacted draco via the Facespace and told him whats what, so hopefully he'll join us soon. By the by, you guys should all friend me on the Facespace, so that way once EnWorld kicks us out we can still stay in touch.

Thanks for the info, it answered a number of questions I had on the unwritten rules of these forums.

 

[The_Silversword]

calron, I cant believe they got you too, what did you ever do to violate the CoC.ToS!?

 

[Robin Hoodlum]

Meh... this place is alright, it just doesn't have the feel of the OTT. Who knows, maybe it'll work out. Also, I got the same termination email, except there was no moderation history.

What termination e-mail?
Just what the hell is going on!?

 

[Robin Hoodlum]

calron, I cant believe they got you too, what did you ever do to violate the CoC.ToS!?

He is one of us.
That damned him.

I have received the same response for a request of additional details, Silver. I have sent them an inquiry regarding permission to create a new account.
