I love all you guys... particularly now :furious3: real troglydtes in the Entrance Hall
Sadly, I am unable to view your site from work Don. Maybe when I get home I'll check it out. Why am I a "Centurion"?
As to the topic, this has gotta be a joke. Look, as BP's sig succinctly puts it, this is a "cult gaming site".
How true it is. If we thought we were hard core, we would be hittin up freerepublic and all these other political/religio/quasi-scientifico sites and lure one another to forums there. Even worse, we would form our own mini forums or something like that.
Sure, I have an opinion just like everyone else. But look at my damn sig. I've gone from OrgWars to Gerbils to the world's ugliest dog. I regularly post retarded childish wannabe photoshop paint drawings like I'm in friggin 3rd grade again.
Too seriously? No way.
What this board has is passion. And that is a good thing.
Not guilty I think. There are some things I have some strong idea's about but I am here for the fun really; I enjoy a brawl more then a real discussion.
I wonder if I fall into any of those categories?
I usually forget what I post so I come here everyday and its like a new adventure
How can you take yourself too seriously when you look like me???
Pic deleted to protect the innocent minds
I was given 2 warning points for the use of the word trogladyte. in Jest, (31 days no edit key)
"MAJOR WARNING"
(was in the back room as well So absolutley the same situation)
This as usual is a 2 toned system of warning.
That is Very retarded.
And the usual cause of trouble that comes from me.
You guys need to fix your rule books.
And either punish him for using the word.
Or appologize for punishing me unjustly.
"I know neither will happen, and thats the problem with this forum"
And if you say. No 1 complained...
No 1 complained about my use of the word, Yet i was punished.
So I am Complaining about others use of the word, and the blatant 2 toned warning system that Ruins the org.
Either the following IS not allowed and = MAJOR WARNING 2 Points,
Or i deserve an appology.
Simple as that.

Aslong as there are 2 sets of rules This will continue indefinatly.
Cos honestly.
Im not going anywhere, and il probably be here after many of you have long forgotten about the org.
You can say what You like.
and try to insult me.
But im right.
same situation,
same place,
Same word,
In same Context.
I get Major warning.
others Get a pat on the back.
(try to notice how hypocrytical this place is)
This means I complain and you get agrivated.
Unfortunatly for you, It will just continue indefinatly.
and I will keep Pointing these things out till Theres no longer a 2 toned warning system.
Theres Nothing to do but fix the retareded warning system. And stop being biast towards certain people giving them unfair favoritism.
And no warning's for the same things other people would get warned for.
(We dont need Vigalantees sorting members out in there own way now do we)
You tend to get personal, and unpleasant. There is a difference between an attack and a tease.
You're taking this forum way too seriously....

"the situation i was refering to was a tease and definatly not an attack."
You're taking this forum way too seriously....
"Indeed i am :) but thats only becous I like the place But disslike the hypocrytical way in which it is run, and i believe it would be best for the org as a whole, if these hypocrytical ways of dealing with things was abandoned and 1 set of firm rules were placed. One person should not be able to use a word in jest when another person gets warning points for the EXACT same thing"

I've given out so many warnings in the last few weeks (in the M2TW forum) that it has made me take it all less seriously than before. It's like a traffic warden giving out parking penalties. I'm sure it is terribly annoying to be on the receiving end, but it should still be kept in proportion. You use offensive language, flame someone, bash CA etc, you get a warning. It does not mean the moderator hates your guts or that you are accused of a heinous sin. But just play nice or at least play by the rules.
BTW: this post is not directed at ShambleS - I've not warned him.
Some people really take an unreleased game too seriously :dizzy2:Quote:

no skin off my nose.
Any way.
i dont want to take this thing to far off topic,
so il leave it at that.
and I will try not to mention it again in here unless prompted by other posts.
Just to keep everything on the up-and-up:
Shambles received a 2-point warning for this post
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?p=1030198
in the Watchtower, not the Tavern Backroom. Warning points issued by TosaInu, the sole Moderator there.
Goofball used the term: "Troglodite", definition (from dictionary.com):
By contrast, Shambles used the term "Trogladite Trolls" (notice the A), not found in standard english dictionaries, but has an entry inQuote:
troglodyte \TROG-luh-dyt\, noun:
1. A member of a primitive people that lived in caves, dens, or holes; a cave dweller.
2. One who is regarded as reclusive, reactionary, out of date, or brutish.
When the survivalists emerged blinking into the sunlight to restock their caves after the terror, my first reaction was to say, "Bless their dotty, troglodyte hearts."
-- Judy Mann, "Survivalists Flee Reality to Live in Fear," Washington Post, October 5, 2001
. . .an admitted electronics-averse troglodyte like myself, who writes with a fountain pen, shaves with a mug and brush, grinds his own coffee and spends summers in a Maine fishing town where the nearest latte is 45 minutes away.
-- Frank Van Riper, "Another Door Opens," Washington Post, May 5, 2000
For the first time, opening a fashion magazine didn't make me feel like a cloddish troglodyte who needed fixing.

I understand the problems you are having in the MTW2 forum completely.The first thing could be that there are lots of new people coming in that forum that are not used to the posting culture of the Org.The second thing i have been sensing lately is that there are already an bitter fight between modder teams to recruit people for the MTW2 mods becouse it seems that pulling of a big mod for it will take lot more modders to achieve.And becouse of that the general forum for MTW2 is hurting of the outrbursts that result from that.Maybe one cure could be to start a independent forum for MTW2 modding?~:)Quote:

A simple miss spelt word Even in OBVIOUS context = 2 points it seems.
As i said.. Retarded and hypocrytical rule books.
The meanings were OBVIOUS if you know what the words mean even with incorrect spelling.
Becous..
a Trogladite. =
"1. A member of a primitive people that lived in caves, dens, or holes; a cave dweller."
And then a Troll. is..
"A supernatural creature of Scandinavian folklore, variously portrayed as a friendly or mischievous dwarf or as a giant, that lives in caves, in the hills, or under bridges."
See how they co-incide?...
and there for the origional meaning is abundantly clear even with typing errors.
(provided you understand english and its various usage of words for multiple meanings)
Simple.
any way thats not really relivant.
the point i was trying to get across is the hypocrytical way in which warnings are given.
IMO It needs to be addressed.
So, your allegation, above:
Is not entirely correct?Quote:
same situation,
same place,
Same word,
In same Context.
It was not the
same situation
same place (Watchtower, not Backroom)
same word (different spelling, different definition)
or same context
Since this thread now has very little to do with backroom business, and is about your allegations of personal persecution, staff hypocrisy and double-standards (which I assume you mean by 2-toned), I recommend this thread be moved to the Watchtower.
can i recomend some 1 deletes my previous posts.
And leave this thread alone.
And i will make a new one in the watch tower?
(if i feel the need to futher express my oppinion on the matter)
But to futher address the above post..
I will add
Indeed it would seem my alligation Is not entierly correct.
However it was the BACKROOM section of the watch tower,
The word had the same definition. Its just i spell it diferently.
(i even pm'd every 1 involved with the real definition of the word and not some slang meaning, some kid on the internet posted on his web page)
and the context was indeed the same,
(the context was In jest)
so my aligations arent 100% correct.
(becous it was the Backroom in the watchtower and not the actual backroom. and becous i SLIGHTLY misspelt an Obvious word)
but although my aligations arent 100% correct. they are Far from being unfounded.
(this post could also be deleted as not to take this topic to far off course)
P.s
Who said anything about me being persicuted?
//throws stick
look it's an discussion, fetch!
hmmm doesn't work.

A dog
An Invention.
a carpenter.
And then an exeption.
An Hotel.
As the O is elongated in that word and there for the vowel is the predomenant letter (sound) in the word.
hence the usage of An.
"discussion puts no more emphasis on the I than it does the D, so a vowel is not the predomenant sound in the word there fore 'A disscussion' would be the correct usage."
(see i can be pedantic and annoying about grammer if i like 2)

Back on topic.
It looks as though some posters do indeed take themselves seriously. They stick out like a thumb that's been bashed by a 15Ib lump hammer.
Remember kids, it's a game forum. A game that, I presume, we like because we find it fun.
WARNING this joke contains a naughty word.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

awww girly
I am much better in Dutch. But you don't seem to be such a purist when it comes to grammar yourselve.
But why waste time on grammar when disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing is so much more satisfying? I could make some radical points, and you could be all over them? We have a date?
:) Great!
You can make your points in dutch.
I can reply in welsh.
and we can get absolutley no where !!!
lol. :)
Psst..
Im sure we can find something some where we disagree on and there for will undoubtedly be locked in a pointless debate some time in the future.
"there the best kind"
And no i dont care about grammer lol.
I understand what you said just fine I was just being pedantic for a change.
p.s
No offence intended by the "An. A" remark.
So i hope none was taken.
but maby it was a helpfull remark any way.
Lots of Silly rules like that in english.
(most people just tell others your grammer sux and dont intend to point out what they believe is wrong.
Thought id point it out and explain why)
"from lesson number 2, in ShambleS's how to take your self altogether to seriously on forums"
cool! You bring the whipped cream and I'll bring the strawberries! It's on!
Just a girl, not excusing the issueing of warnings to name calling, Goofy and I go way back and calling me a Trogladite is a rather pleasant label compared to the usual complimentary terms we have for each other. I love Goofy and he's free to call me whatever he wants. If he insults me, I'll PM him and he'll edit his post. We've done it before for each other. Its growing pains, don't worry about the warnings, they are a good thing because they give you leverage on what and what not to say. PM the mods and discuss it in private and you'll accomplish more than airing out your dirty laundry, believ me I know!!!
Just A Girl, please don't feel I'm lecturing to you, but don't take things so seriously. If you get upset over getting warnings about calling someone a "Trogladite" then you are going to have a rough ride here. Don't think I'm being a hypocrite when I say this because I get pissed over the littlest thing in these forums and say things I shouldn't. You can ask any mod around here who's been the biggest pain in their ass over the past 5 years and I'm sure they'd agree that I'm one of the top on the list. Please don't follow my path or others. Try to get along with folks and use your intelligence and not your anger to control your posts. Its good to have these converstions when you feel you've been wronged. But believe me, these guys, even though I've have MANY runins with them, from Tosa down, do a good job and do everything they can to be fair.
Sorry, you've had a bad experience, but don't let it ruin your time here. Take care and feel free to tell me off if you think I'm off my rocker with y comments, but please understand I'm only saying what I'm saying to you because I can tell from your posts that you have a lot to offer and I would be very disappointed if you went the path that some of us has taken and become a unwelcomed force within.
Take care and have fun.
