I oftentimes find myself in agreement with Domer. He's a bit self-righteous, but I wouldn't call him a troll.

I have engaged with Monkey oot before, and I agree with your assessment re: sensitivity. I highly enjoy having him around, in games and in discussions. I do not think he handled the situation appropriately, and the proof is in our pudding.

I know lolpolitics, but his political approach is startling, despite his personal sensitivities, and when he was modded I was sure that whoever made the decision did not read that board very closely. He's very much a "my way or the highway" kinda guy.

Redd, what's the Kruze issue exactly? He played poorly and then locked the thread when everyone started piling on him?

We have been talking directly about KruZe and it has been duly noted that quite apart from apologising for your disgusting behaviour you won't even acknowledge you've done anything wrong.

That's not very nice. I think you should apologise.

I think the word 'startling' is a very appropriate one to use when describing Monkey's political views but if you don't realise that domer is a troll then you need to get better at the internet stat.

hee hee

I don't think you would say that irl if you were in front of me *******

it would help if at any point MB appeared to have any semblance of a sense of humor

also ww should just be banned completely

Is that a killer quote?

And yes LKJ, I deserved that.

If LKJ proved anything during his time as a POG mod it was that you don't need a sense of humour to do it.

Here is what you said to BATM in case you forgot:

"I hope social services is able to help your daughter before it's too late."

"like, if I knew where you lived I'd be calling them to rescue her from an unfit situation"

I don't need to smear you. You've accomplished that all by yourself.

You're still a sucker for agreeing to do it in the first place.

I am biased so I don't want to describe things in a biased manner. You go read the thread and see the post game and determine for yourself.

But to truly know how I and others who support my side feel, you have to have experienced multiple turbos, gone through the post games that never get locked, and also experience the KruZe factor.

Definitely.

Anyway, I like Mooch a lot, but I just can't help but enjoy some of his frustration here too.

Oh, we're all enjoying it.

Yup, I typed it, and regretted it immediately, and self-deleted it like two minutes later. Sometimes when we're in a heated argument with someone you say things that you don't really mean just in an effort to be as hurtful as possible. That was one of those times.

I also ate a VERY healthy infraction for it, which shows that the "mods just let people get away with it" part of your argument is a lie. I accepted that without bitching and moaning about it to everyone, because I was wrong for my actions that were part of the argument.

But to act like BATM was an innocent party to it all is either a lie on your part or you being terribly underinformed. So, get better informed or stop lying about it, your choice, because continuing with it as you are is not going to be tolerated.

So I am a one-note troll, and MB is just a decent, normal dude. Makes sense.

Glad your true colors are coming out in this thread just as you're about to ride off into the sunset. Nobody ever trusted my read on you, but I could smell it a mile away.

lol killer

Didn't say he was normal but POG is very lucky to have him as a mod and I've always been clear about how I've felt about both you and monkey so it's not like my 'true colours are coming out'.

Also given you're bringing up past posts to try and push Dwetzel's buttons do you remember this one? Always been a favourite of mine, for context domer subbed into this game and then had to be modkilled for something that the previous player had done, rather than take this like a man he made the following deadpost which ofc hadn't been approved by the mods:

Anyone who has seen your work in any DVC will be familiar with this attitude, a one-note troll indeed.

this

chill the **** out

people play turbos when they're drunk, tired, stoned, whatever

some people are just stupid

if you take them too seriously, you're not going to have a good time and it's you that's the problem, not the drunk/stoned/stupid people

A couple truths:

1. the thread got locked so that KruZe wouldn't have to ban killer, which has been a behind-the-scenes issue for reasons, as Moocher alluded to, that we will not discuss but are no longer going to insulate killer from a significant ban

2. there is even less leeway to go off on the awesome new posters who have never done anything to you than there is to go off on the people you have history with, and as a clarificatory reminder, there is already no tolerance for that anyway

3. that is the last time killer is going to be extended leeway to blow up and drop expletive bombs on people because he's MAD about a turbo; that ends, you will not do it anymore killer, I have warned you here and on Skype

4. killer is not the only person who goes free-for-all in turbos and/or their post-games; this is a global warning that the asterisk-laden turbo vitriol is going to reduce itself or be reduced by me, there is no further tolerance for this (rawrs, read this)

5. you can troll in post-game all you want, but you cannot take personal shots at people, this is such a simple rule and the frequency with which people must be reminded of this is absurd

6. it is almost impossible to play a worse game than KruZe played in that turbo, and for this we lol at him heartily and then let it die

A few more truths:

1. this has been a pretty good example of the POG Escalation Rule, which is that any incident that can be escalated will immediately be escalated by numerous posters for various reasons

2. the point is to deescalate when POG decides to go full blown POG, that is a work in progress and we will continue working on it

3. crimsonfox was believed to be a troll account actively bombing a game when he was temped; when it became clear he was a real and new person who didn't understand what had happened, his temp was immediately rescinded, it was my understanding that he knew this since I told him this in that thread; that process took about 5 minutes
