Title: The New Image
Post by Pandilex on 01/14/04 at 00:41:57
In response to the ever increasing amount of abuse I've been recieving, branding me numerous things, I've decided that there's only one sensible thing I can do.

Rather than disregard, or dispute any of the accusations, I've decided to embrace them all. From now on, I will no longer be nice Pandilex, but evil Pandilex. I will be enforcing every rule I have set forth, without any warning. People who disrespect myself, or other staff members on the forum or in game will be instantly banned, with no warning. I will contact their internet service provider if they want to try to be clever and bypass any bans. For the duration of this transition, I will contribute -nothing- to this game, which will put the various class updates that were pending on hold. When some semblence of order is returned, and people appreciate their place, then this will stop.

For those people who reply to this thread with "It's a shame so many people have to ruin the game for others etc." there's no point.

For anyone who tries to flame this post, well - no reply necessary your posts won't survive for long, and your forum account probably won't last much longer.

For people who think I'm 'tripping out, oh here he goes again threatening people', I'm not going to be nice any more - I have seen that threats don't work, so there will be no more.

For anyone else, please replace the handset, and try again.

Some new punishments for breaking the rules include permenant loss of attributes from your main characters, loss of experience, and even permenant character deletion.

Have a nice day  :D

Foremost, I'm not 'sucking up'!

Pandilex, I truly feel you're making the right move here. I think all the staff have been too easy-going all this time.

Lmfao, I love it Jim.

Works for me, I don't mess with staff..i dont think.


Will swearing and such be get me in trouble on forums? Or do the sensors stopping it fix that?  And flamming people who are not staff or anything like that...is that ok?...cause some of us are really dumb and need a little harrassment.

Just wondering cause I'd rather ask than find out though example.

Read and follow the TOS and you'll be fine :)

i really have no problem with this because i've never really had a problem with staff before. i think it's good staff are 'cracking the whip' and enforcing the rules.

Title: Re: The New Image
Post by Everlast on 01/14/04 at 02:01:01
-heads off to hunt for the TOS-


maybe i should just stop posting on anything outside of crit sales, item sales, and wanted....its always when i head over to the other disscussions that i feel the need to pick on people who post things that make me dumber...


edit- WOW!  Guys i was wrong. (again)  The TOS is really really short, seriously.  Just go look at it.  It's like..8 sentences saying basic rule type things...i thought it'd be paragraphs of stuff i wouldn't understand or something....alhough..the FAQ i didnt check out just yet....

What about sarcasm? Can I still bask in that? Really, if you become some sort of sarcasm nazi...man, that would suck.

Yay for enforcing of rules. Start with Tevlok, that is, unless you have already dealt with him.

well im pretty glad to see one of the staff actually doing something about the abuse they get. we all given the freedom of using this place for free atm, so may as well be nice enough n pay a little respect, besides, theres been posts warning people to behave for ages, but staffers never done much tmk, but good to see someone doing it =)

(n im not encouraging ya to be evil again, lol...juz saying this once it gotta put ppl'z back in their places n think they cant juz walk over ya)

But but but.... SIMON! Does this mean I can't abuse you anymore? I thought you enjoyed it.   ;)

On a more serious note, I'm glad you are taking this step. Too many good staffers quit already because of abuse from players and I would hate to lose more of them.

The only bit I don't agree with/like is this. I doubt that 'order' will be restored anytime soon, and I also do not think that stopping all updates is a good idea.

More strictness, that's cool.  I don't see why people should get away with abuse anyway but to stop working on the game?  :( Please don't stop working, i believe in you lol.

LOL does this mean someone if gives you some abuse you're gonna set their 6 stat arch ranger to have like 5 dex?

And i'm also gonna take the risk of ignoring something you said, and say this: It really is a shame when stupid people ruin the game for others.

* cowers in fear before Pandilex.
* is begging for Pandilex to spare his life.
* is begging for the transition period to be over because he is an update junkie.

Nice one simon, you have always been fair and just with me and its about time other people who take you guys for a ride get what they deserve......... a hard time. Please dont stop your work as the things you have suggested will bring the game on that extra step......but seriously good on you, these people who give you abuse should have gone years back.


Bring on the Crowder-revolution

I respect ya'll for enforcing the punishment and stuff for staff accusations etc... but, I'm not liking the whole player thing too well, since I got my first ban today... for over the smallest thing... when people do worse... and don't get punished for it. Unfair, if you ask me.  :-/

I think this will be a great thing for the game as well as the forum, and i say it's high time that such actions were taken.  It's gotten to the point that i wont even read most of the forum anymore because of the crap that is going on, maybe now i can take a more active interest in things again.

Yay Pandilex!

Agreed. Shame ignorance isn't a bannable offence...

Most things you can get banned for you should be able to restrain yourself from doing. That is not the case sadly with ignorance so they get off the hook ;)

Title: Re: The New Image
Post by Sausage on 01/15/04 at 20:14:08
Ahh that's no fun.

I agree with totally enforcing the rules. That's cool. But totally withdrawing from doing any work? Can't say I agree with that.. But, not my decision.

How..?! It wasn't like I was using it all offensively or anything. People can curse like a sailor and not have anything done... but, of course I just had to get my first ban... which had to be for 3 days. I'm just talking about the unfairness.

I know... I'm not the only one who thinks the same way.

Title: Re: The New Image
Post by Sausage on 01/15/04 at 20:53:41
Before I go and get all confused.. Did you say bullspit or it's commonly brother?

hmm this is interesting, but i do think it is both wrong and right. i have on various occasions seen staff "poking fun" at players, should the staff not expect the same in return. if you are referring to everyone asking for random things and help and such, then i totally agree with you. but to stop all game development is ridiculous. over banning and things like this will only make people not want to play this anymore. while i do agree that some players do break rules, you also have to relize that some staff instigate this. i believe that some people should have to straightn out, but you are hurting everyone in the game for the faults of a few. i know you said not to say that, but it is true. if you wanna play god in a game that you created, fine, but if you wanna have people actually play the game, you should enforce the rules, but not lose your calm like you just did. if i get banned for this or whatever fine, but all i can say is that you are causing problems for people who dont deserve it. enforce the rules, but use sence and dont be ridiculous. not everything is the the fault of the players, while i am very grateful that this game is provided free for now, and i am gratfull to have staff to enforce the rules, the staff cause problems too. this is ridiulous.
