Ok Champion,
We've decided its time to update the now almost 3 year old Champion Tribute song,"Dear Champion" with a New Longer and up to date version.
Were hoping to avoid all the drama here guys, so if you dont like the idea, you dont have to take part in it, that includes here in this post.
Now, for those of you that do want to be a part of this, basically were going to give 5-7 seconds for you to say anything you want about your sg, Champion server, CoH, or whatever. The song is going to be quite a bit longer so we can get in more people this time. This can be individual person recordings or groups if possible?
We do want those that took part the first time to be apart again, so we can either re-record a spot for you, or we can re-use you original. (We would prefer to re-record)
This is going to take some time, as Decision, is a bit picky about his music. So everyone be patient.
Anyone and Everyone that is intrested in being a part of this project, let us know here in this post, and well get the ball rolling soon. We cant promise everyone will be in it, but we'll do our best. -
funny, the whole time I was in the channel I thought it stood for Bite My Tongue, which I did...most of the time
-
Another great Channel would be Champions United. Come and check it out!!

Quote:Has anyone ever talked about going to a PvP zone with all tankers on Freedom. I know this is a Champion thing for the awesome gathering of Meat Shields, but I just think it would Rock to see this happen. I dont know how busy Champs PvP zones are so I was wondering. Or even have a Melee Monday on Champion when all Melee AT's (Tankers, Scrappers, Brutes, Stalkers) do a 8 vs 8 kick ball event. I would even allow HEATs and VEATs.
Now this is a great idea....kudos
Make it so. -
Anyone heard ANYTHING mentioned on the next XXP?
Its usually ever Jan / July correct? -
Quote:Actually, what you said was that you didn't want to start anymore drama. So much for that idea.
Bottom Line for BMT: It's a channel with a function. It has rules. If you choose to not follow those rules, you will be moderated.
End o' story.
*stands at attention and salutes*
And by salute I mean...
*Extends arm fully....*

Quote:I'm kinda indifferent to the whole issue. I can see the need to keep things on point when there are over 100 people in the channel and there are people trying to get things done. However I don't think it is as important when nothing is going on at the time. Then again I'm not in charge and the internet is not America so freedom of speech is a privilidge and not a right.
As for the kick I'll say this. Anyone could have seen that kick coming and avoided it if they really wanted to avoid it. Only a crazy person pops their heads up when they know it's whack a mole time and they see a guy standing there with a sledge hammer.
Gideon, I love the way you worded this ty.
Should anyone have to fear the man with the sledgehammer power is exactly my point. Why should you have to have the "fear" of being careful what you say, or who you say it to, because you might say or do the wrong thing and upset the wrong person? THAT to me is not a pleasent enviroment to be in.
And for those of you that keep asking why I was in the channel in the first place, I had a conversation with the blue guy a few weeks back and I thought we had buried the hatchet between us. Obviously I was wrong, and Jack sparrows lil bro is still bitter. Grow up lil pirate. -
Quote:He means before the silencin'. Which the lack thereof your whole argument hinges on.
Quote:You left out how just a couple of lines later, Cobalt UNsilenced VS.
You really should tell the WHOLE story.
I was kicked from channel---therefore did not see this occur
He + you = jEneUs -
Quote:I was involved in that conversation. I'll confirm every word White Hot Flash said, and add this:
Someone (I don't remember who) asked who was doing what. I said, in humor, that I was watching the Dr. Who Marathon.
A couple of other people mentioned other marathons, VS asked what channel it was on, I said it was on BBC America.
About then, Cobalt asked us to keep TV stuff out of the channel.
I took responsibility for it, because I didn't know it was verboten.
Then was VS's question (which I answered via tell) that got him silenced.
And your bit.
You left out how just a couple of lines later, Cobalt UNsilenced VS.
You really should tell the WHOLE story.
Wow your intelligence shows....
How exactly could i have left lines out if i was KICKED from the channel hmmmmm? -
Quote:Sooo you REALLY feel that what I said warranted being kicked from the channel huh?Let me begin this by saying I'm not in anyone's "clique". I'm a relative nobody. As a matter of fact, I believe I have 3 people on my Global. I am a member of the channel in question (really, it's no secret), and I have seen several people getting kicked, and getting silenced, and really... I don't see the issue.
You seem to be forgetting that the channel has a purpose. I'm sure you know what purpose it serves, by knowing its title. The operator in question (who, might I add, is not a friend of mine) is tasked with ensuring the channel serves that purpose. It isn't heavy-handedness. It's keeping the channel effective for what it is.
I love, LOVE random banter.. but that's not what the channel is for. That's not why I joined the channel. Personally speaking, I'd probably get annoyed if when advertising a Task Force, or asking if there was a spot on a raid, if I had to wade through comment after comment about television. This is what the operator is trying to avoid.
What you're missing in your quote, Bud... is the first part. Where your SG-mate, and other people had been asked to stop that line of discussion. As I recall, more than once. Others stopped, and they weren't silenced. He wasn't silenced for asking about DirectTV, he was silenced for continuing when asked to take it to Tells.
People are always making reference to this supposed power-trip. What power-trip? People aren't arbitrarily silenced. People are ALWAYS warned to discontinue the off-topic chatter before any action is taken.
I find it interesting that you make mention of a "cool kids club". I have never seen you comment in-channel on anyone being silenced, until it was your SG-mate. I didn't even know it was your SG mate until this post.So, why did it suddenly become a problem when it was someone in YOUR "cool kids club"?
Your above post isn't helping the server. It isn't giving a voice to the voiceless... it's doing nothing but perpetuating the drama that you claim to want to end. You could have just said "Join Champion United. We're a channel without topic restrictions", but instead, you made it an "us vs. them" post.
Edit: reworded a few items
I rest my case -
Ok look, I, along with Many many others as so sick and tired of the dictatorship of some of the global chat channels out there.
I will refrain from mentioning any names or chat channels as to avoid this thread getting mod smacked by da Ocho.
A member of P.o.N was silenced today in a global chat channel for asking someone if they had direct tv...
[*** ** ********]Voltaic-Shock: i dont wanch bbc america what channel is it? you have direct tv?
[*** ** ********]@Voltaic-Shock has been silenced in channel '*** ** ********' by @****** *******
[*** ** ********]]****** *******: Take it to tells.
[*** ** ********]]XxBudvveiser8xX: woooooooooow
[*** ** ********]]XxBudvveiser8xX: silenced for asking that? really?
[*** ** ********]]******: Yes really
[*** ** ********]]XxBudvveiser8xX: wow
[*** ** ********]]******: for real
[*** ** ********]]XxBudvveiser8xX: srs
[*** ** ********]]****** *******: Here, Bud. I'll take care o' this for you.
[*** ** ********]]You were kicked from channel '*** ** ********]' by @****** *******
Left channel '*** ** ********]'
This is a bunch of horse shitz. This is nothing more then a power trip of someone that has some srs envy issues.
Bottom line is this: Screw that channel. If you want a global chat channel that you will NOT be told what, who, or when you can speak, Then give Champions United a try.
Were Pleased to have Nievene, and The Ocho himself in the channel with us. and we are proud to say we have never had even a single incident in this channel ever. No ones ever needed to be silenced, kicked or anything of the kind.
Why? because its a FREE SPEECH CHANNEL. Leave the drama out, and just be yourself. No worries of the Chat police kicking you in the face if your not in their "cool kids club"
Sorry in advance if You think this thread is wrong to be here Ocho, but I did do my best as to not directly attck, or offend anyone directly by mentioning names or even channels. I hope this thread does not disappear, but actually helps those afraid to say something themselves.
Champions United... Say what you want. -

Are we gonna run more Hami Raids in 2010?
Are we gonna run more Mothership Raids in 2010?
Are we gonna run more TFs in 2010?
Are we gonna run more pirate-themed Mission Architect arcs in 2010?
Are we gonna eat more pie in 2010?
Are we gonna wait in line for Iron Man 2 three months before it even comes out in 2010? ...seriously?...
Are we gonna get employed in 2010? (glances about) Okay, so I gotta work on my priorities.
Answer to all above: NO
But we will spend a ****LOAD of time "Going Rouge"
Which in turn leaves no room for that pesky being employed thing. Im seriously thinking about giving up working for the sake of my Health, Work is srs business, and takes up way to much of the important things in mah life, and makes me sick.....Now if I could just convince my wife on this..........
Anyways, Heres hoping Everyone has a SAFE and wonderful New Years. May 2010 be the year that all your hopes and dreams come true.... And the year that everyone realizes Freedum is not the promised land, and returns home to Champion -

Quote:Wasn't there a donation already offered for the PVPEC by you? o.0
I will check the dates/time for the auction and see what I can do. My schedule is chaotic at best and my gaming time has been next to none lately.
kat you make me roflcopter so much.... I WILL own you if your up for auction.
Just like last year I owned most of the people auctioned... If i recall I bought 14 last year, and this year its going to be even better...I actually going to make those people DO things for a special server event to be announced later.
Bring out the piggy banks folks, cause Ive got 23 billion for this event alone to spend.
Kat, you better start working out now, cause your gonna be busy. -
Champions United is also a great alternative to the BMT so many of us have come to fear

How about getting the "Dear Champion" Champion tribute song into your regular playlist?
It IS after all a TRIBUTE TO CHAMPION SERVER -
Quote:wow i have played on champion for 6 months and have not seen any of this drama.

a: Blind and deaf?
b: extremely reclusive, and never step foot out of your sg base, and always keep your chat window closed for fear of cooties?
c: Blind and Deaf?

Grats all....Costumes look incredible

A very Merry Christmas to all of Champion and all the other servers out there.
I wish you all a safe and Happy New year from all of us here in P.o.N -
DING!! LVL 50

Damn, maybe I should give up soon.....
NOT -
Quote:Now this sounds fun.... But lets "unstack the deck" We will gladly step up to the AE challange against yours or any other teams out there....Budweiser, you have a huge say in this, Apochrypha says her team can match your team and would like to see a friendly rivalry. William Alexander is also throwing down the gauntlet. I am sure Dave Mebs has his team ready for anything as well.
But we also heard there was going to be PVP involved in these events.
So, We pick up your thrown gauntlet and return slap you with it...
Will your teams step up to the pvp challenge? We might even be willing to boost the prize money of that event. -
Quote:I think i was in game so long i started to get tunnel vision. I was so busy trying to fill empty spaces with events that i did not appreciate all the effort going on around me.
Budweiser, if Mod08 has any of those leftover words for dinner i'll share that meal with you.....after all the effort you put into helping, i deserve it. I should have had the other leaders prepped to keep things going, i was very short-sighted.
Shay, i owe you an apology as well, Braije gets under my skin (it's just his way) and i took it out on you and shouldn't have.
Elf, i can always count on you to make me laugh, your style of play and online banter is unique, if you ever changed we would have to get worried about you. I am still a Noob and damn proud of it
wow, i really think the time away from the game help felicia in more ways then one.
I kinda like this new felicia were seeing......
There werent any strange looking SEED PODS next to your bed when you went to sleep were there? If there were, please distibute them out to everyone on Champion asap.
We could ALL take a lesson from Ms. Felicia right now..... I know I am.
