Other than Well Named, who else are we about to "permanently" ban? Other than Well Named, who else are we about to "permanently" ban?

there's also a 13er where he conceded on d2 after nk'ing the seer on n1 (great artists) and another 13er where he conceded on d2 (russians are coming).

besides his general disposition being extremely unpleasant and he complete and utter WIL I never got the sense he was cheating or anything
07-02-2014 , 10:19 PM
Thanks.

Not going to get in any arguments with people, I doubt I will change any opinions.

Will just say that while some of you may not get on with me or like my style of play I do not have any ill feelings to any of you no matter what is said in game.

I know there a lot of people mad at me for the magic_gazz stuff and rightly so.

All I can say is that I have had this account for over a year and not caused any problems, if I had you would have all heard about it already.
07-02-2014 , 10:19 PM
I am going to be completely hypocritical here but...

If people say he hasnt done the sort of things that got him banned before, then I have no problem letting him stay, but, and this is a huge but, I don't want to play in a game with him personally. He was one of the most abrasive players, with zero remorse for the things he did, that I have ever played with.

Im for real though.

I could probably drag it out for about a week and avoid being lynched but after that much time I think it will be obvious and it just doesnt feel right to waste that much time of mine and other peoples.

I think had Jim not been busy he would have lived a lot longer.

Shanks making 0 posts that day was pretty unfortunate and I dont blame him for that as he is a Kiwi and it was Saturday so he was probably getting drunk and watching rugby, if you look at that day Me and Silman didnt post either, some things are more important than werewolf.

Im glad nofear has self banned as he basically said in wolfchat that he didnt care and was just gonna post ponies. I hope when he comes back he goes back to more of his old style and stops with the ponies.

The vig didnt even make it to wolfchat and was so lame getting killed that early.

Its a shame we didnt get a slightly better wolf team as there has been so much v/v violence I think we could have used that to our advantage.

I just think my time is worth more than that. I though about subbing out but its not fair to anyone to make them join this game 8,000 posts in and try to be a convincing villager.

Its nothing to do with peoples current reads, I wouldnt out my team like that.



LOL you must think im an idiot. I said me, shanks and silman because we all live in NZ, so we probably did not post for the same reason.

When playing a game and you have no chance of ever winning I always think its best to just give up, start a new game and try and win that.

I don't know why you're bringing up moments that display your lack of class and good nature
you were in the chat where the Maghazi investigation went down. and you left after i called you out for cheating in this game

fyi while we're on the topic, and while you're saying i "'lack class", did you apologize to your teammates and the game mod for the underhanded way in which you attempted to circumvent the rules to get yourself clear? seems you're being real stubborn about it and hoping people forget.

As someone who was in russians are coming and alluded to it earlier: the wolf concession in that game had more to do with the wolves getting utterly destroyed than anything else

they had 0% to win at the time of their concession

Why is this even a discussion? Perma him again and move on.

Okay, this seems promising. I appreciate the introduction of other games to consider, please continue doing that sort of thing. Anecdotes are helpful.

dice, I appreciate the candor.

I am going to go play basketball and then try to come to a resolution with Moocher and WN tonight, if we can (based on availability).

If I come back from basketball to a mess of insults and cursing and completely unacceptable nonsense, there will be bans. I don't like clicking that button. It is my sincere belief that POG has moved beyond that and that we are, collectively, able to work through community issues in a productive and beneficial way. Please prove me right.

Thanks in advance.

In seriousness, what's the case? He gives up as a wolf too easily?
07-02-2014 , 10:28 PM
Let us not forget that Magic is also responsible for this game ending in a tie...:

forumserver.twoplustwo.com/59/puzzles-other-games/1-26-dr-seuss-sneetches-death-vanilla-game-1158419/

Because he was accidentally mod spewed the last wolf in skype and then went to thread and posted with said info.

The disease does not affect horseposters of the apogalypse. You are a neutral, you win by reaching parity with the village and eliminating the wolves.

diceman on his own merits has done some annoying stuff that on its own does not merit any form of actual ban -- though, http://checkmywwstats.com/index.php?...yer=thediceman -- 5 wolf games, one MK for non posting and two d2 concessions is pretty gross now that I look. That's a definite pattern of game disruption, albeit on a much less flashy scale than before.

He's, to put it politely, rather abrasive, but a lot of people are and that's not a capital offense.

If it is completely confirmed he is magic_gazz, I want him nowhere near any werewolf game I ever play or mod, ever, full stop, don't care about the behavior as diceman.

I know POG is famous for its Steve Howe style second chances. Don't. I mean, what's the honest line you would give a random POGger on "if we let magic_gazz come play again, what are the chances he is going to totally **** up a game at some point in a really major way"? -1500 or so?

It's not like the original banning was a snap decision made lightly. If we were at the level of "OK, this is really really your final warning" that would be one thing. It's my understanding there was already the final final warning and it took him approximately seven minutes (exaggeration not as slight as you might think) to violate it.
07-02-2014 , 10:29 PM
Of course this would set a precedent as to whether one can continually circumvent a ban and keep participating on a new gimmick.

Though if he was an upstanding poster under the new persona I would legitimately use my judgment and reconsider the ban

For all we know Leonardo DiCaprio is starrazz. If that's true I'd make the judgment to let him play.
07-02-2014 , 10:29 PM
or the WSoWW game where he 0 posted at f5
