lock request #3

[AF]

This is the very first mention of an apology from you trench0r.

wether an AF look alike such as [af] has appeared and started pretending to be me, or you're lieing.

• I did not harass you for a replay, you didnt even give me a chance and closed the battle after exiting.
• You know full well my US flag is because I'm an AOL user. Saying that me living on the eastern coast is no excuse is stupid, you forgot the gigantic stretch of water called the atlantic ocean, ireland, and the irish sea. 5AM GMT, not east US.

  [05:19:19 AM] <trench0r> can't stand losing? rager?
  [05:19:27 AM] <[]AF> dont eb a bad player
  [05:19:29 AM] <trench0r> go rage some moar!
  [05:19:35 AM] <trench0r> afk

• What you said is not excused by me not verifyign ym gender. It was innapropriate and I feel sorry for any girl who joins #xta and says she's female infront of you if thats your attitude.

  [07:03:07 AM] <trench0r> yes I care much honey
  [07:03:11 AM] <trench0r> want some midol?
  [07:03:13 AM] <trench0r> and some maxi pads?
  [07:03:21 AM] <trench0r> I'll just put them in your purse

• ONCE AGAIN I will not be BULLIED, and this time it's by SLANDER I will not allow your lies to flow ceaseless anymore AF, you can say what you want but don't you dare ruin my reputation, I do enough of that for myself!

  You're the provoker. You have atatcked unprovoked repeatedly and then complained when I defended myself.
• You appear to have registered here for the sole purpose of attacking me in threads, odd that prior to this thread you had no interest in these forums whatsoever.

In the mean time I'm still trying to figure out where that original olive branch is. My extensive logs dont seem to have any olives from trench0r land anywhere near, the odd squished prune hurled from a distance maybe.

[trench0r]

nevermind, you know what really happened and so do I

for the record, you're full of crap

also, for those who wish me to be on topic

AF: I figured out which version to use quickly, seems like everyone else in my game did too... you're the only one I've run into that's had this big a deal with it...

and with that I'm out of this thread

kthx

bai

[Snipawolf]

Jebus. My head esplodes!

[The_Big_Boss]

Well a new version of xta will be released soon to fix the dteeth problem and the version naming issue, as well as maybe depending on forum discussion removing the lvl 2 lab from the com. Way to much trouble for whats its worth and original intent.

[Saktoth]

XTA v9.1 ftw plox.

[Caydr]

What in the wild world of sports?

...Where's the Drama Queen pictures when I need em?

[Boirunner]

the original post sounds like AF is in the throes of uber PMS, but deleting a thread like that because you think it's too aggressive it is so petty it wants me to bitchslap peets manboobs.

Nah, it's his right to do so. Imagine how much trouble or unnecessary drama it would stir up. This thread's a prime example.

I didn't say it wasn't in his right, I said it was petty. To explain the difference: it would be completely in my right to kick you from all my games from now on because we disagreed in this thread, but it would be ridiculously petty.

[Felix the Cat]

Let me introduce you all to the concept of a drama bomb.

Much like weapons-grade uranium, drama can violently explode, if a critical mass of it is collected in one place. Such an explosion is catastrophic. It goes on and on, and gets bigger and bigger and bigger until finally it allows anonymous login, gets a server on 28k in Rwanda, and becomes 4chan. But that only happened once.

[zwzsg]

Nah, it's his right to do so. Imagine how much trouble or unnecessary drama it would stir up. This thread's a prime example.

Or maybe if the initial thread was allowed to live, there wouldn't have been matter to dramatise about? Too strong forum moderation leads to resent that eventually explode into drama like here. But then too lax moderation make any forum deteriorate down to an outlet of 4chan. If not just a void spambot ground.

[malric]

After reading most of this thread, as many of the posters I do agree with both points of view but I disagree with both behaviors.

The initial post is not very nice. I tried to help with spring development and this always envolves more work and time that I have, so even if I would make mistakes I would not like to hear things like "sheer incompetence". Probably I wouldn't mind that much because I do not care that much what X and Y or A or B have to say, but if there are more sensitive people it is better to keep a constructive tone. Like how to do things, propose some to coordinate and etc.

I do agree that raising a problem is important, but usually the solution implies communication among people - so if the raising of the problem does tense the athmosphere it is not very good.

We should ask what can we do now..... (when we have a full flamewar).

It would be nice to know the opinion of the rest of the XTA forum so maybe a pool like:
- AF is right, tone is ok, unban him
- AF is right, tone is not ok, unban him
- AF is right, but he should have come with a solution, unban him
- AF is right, unban him if he comes with a solution
- AF is right, but he sparkles to big debates, let him banned
- AF is wrong

And of course it would be nice to have a plan to avoid this in the future. As I am not involved in the development process I can't come up with any proposition, but there should be at least a person that know this (only one, or mostly two) so that we do not have 'conflicts'.

And, as pintle suggested, lock this thread :)

[clericvash]

I think anyone who has argued over this in the forums is an idiot.
It will get you nowhere and makes you both look like complete asses.

You're both as bad as each other.

[The_Big_Boss]

Now that time has passed, I think the dev team is officially afraid of making any mistakes. I disagree, this has been worth it.

[Fanger]

You freaking doofus, do you realize how old and out of context this thread is.. what the heck..

[Peet]

No.
