    Dear Champion II

    If there's not enough contributors, can my original submission be used? It's drastically more entertainin' then the editted for time version.
  2. Swell. Now everyone can get DP'd.








































    You heard me.

    I know I have been glad I have been able to team with you quite a few times with my alts in Witty's Pirate SG.
    The first time I remember teaming with you was on a Lusca run ages ago.
    always fun!
    .
    Oh man, that takes me back. Maybe I'll do a Lusca run for ol' times sakes.

    Thanks for makin' me smile with fond memories.

    You don't, but they said they'll offer a upgrade pack that will include all the stuff with the complete edition (which isn't available for pre-order) at a yet undisclosed price.

    You sir are not a reason I would want to come to your server, which is odd because I remember you used to be friendly, lately at times quite frankly you act like a real tool to your fellow players, not always, but in the past you were not like that as I recall.

    I remember you and the people supporting your view who are in your bmt channel, being generally inviting and friendly, at times that's been replaced with snarky and overbearing corrections to players.
    They are generally friendly, but even their tolerance for stupidity and laziness has it's limits. As for your opinion o' myself, I won't lose any sleep over it.

    Quote:
    And yet you all tell every new visitor to join your channel, lol.
    Maybe you should stop recommending your channel to newcomers, in the event they ask about a set bonus, or some other random act of game fun.
    Actually, I don't recommend the channel to anyone. I don't spam invites to the channel to everyone in Atlas Park to increase our member list. If someone sends me a tell to invite someone, I will. That's about it. And there's plenty o' questions that get asked that do get answered in a friendly fashion. However, things that are clearly and consistently for months at a time in the MotD that clearly aren't bein' paid attention to by the playerbase will eventually get met with a negative response as people, myself included, get tired o' answerin' questions that have already been answered in some fashion, or where the answer is readily available.

    If you can't have friendly game chatter sometimes on supposedly your main channel, I guarantee you'll get better treatment on Virtue and Freedom's main global channels from my experience.
    You can chat all you want, friendly-like, as long as it's within the previously established parameters o' the channel. And I don't personally care about other servers. So that's a moot point.

    Quote:
    Your servers population's been shrinking, so maybe others already figured that out.
    If people are leavin' the server over a single global channel, then its entirely likely that the server is better off without'em.

    You can talk 'bout the game, with the exclusion o' the aforementioned topics. And it's a farm for PLin'.

    As far as BMT goes, although I don't think I got a copy of the Official Rules, it was pretty obvious after a day of lurking that BMT is for just that B-M-T. That's how I use it and that seems fine.
    Craziness.

    Still, it is good to BS with all the other friendly, helpful people on Champion and if BMT of Champion isn't the place for it, there needs to be a place. I suppose Champions United is the designated area?
    Yes, amongst other places.

    Are we not allowed to advertise PvP in BMT?
    Just don't spam it, like with anythin' else. And keep the **** talk out.


    Quote:
    Can you give us a list or something of what is and is not allowed? All I know is that farming and talking about sports is not allowed (that's one that I got in "trouble" for)
    This has been posted numerous times, but sure, why not again;
    Welcome to BMT, or Badges, Monsters, Task/Strike Forces. General game-related chatter and teamin' are allowed. XP/SK/Inf/merit/ticket farm advertisements are not, nor are farm-related questions. Oh, and please watch the language. Enjoy.

    Actually, I've had this problem before after being on a few hours and BMT's been particularly active - the MOTD will disappear even with keeping a tab for just BMT alone. Granted, I could just relog and look at the MOTD if I had a question about it, but asking usually would be faster so I can understand why occasionally it's fine if people ask about what's going on. I'm not saying that it's understandable all the time, of course, I'm simply saying that asking someone to read the MOTD instead of answering their question might prove pointless in some instances.
    Like Amy, I've been logged on for hours with BMT on it's own tab and never had a problem. I've even got all the game events on the same tab, with the same result: scroll up, RTFMotD.

    Quote:
    I can agree with that to a degree; something like that'd clutter up BMT, but... I'm not part of the trading channel by choice - I knew about it, of course..but I'm not fond of being part of channels that see little to no activity so I don't bother with keeping it. And luckily for me I don't usually advertise sales anyway (and haven't nor intend to in BMT). But I do want to make a point here; it's not always a case of laziness. Some people may actually not even know such a channel even exists. More still might not know that it isn't allowed in BMT. Unless you ask, there's no way of knowing all the rules for BMT upon joining, and most might not think to ask for a variety of reasons.
    That's why I tend to point out that there's a channel called Trade of Champion and let'em know that it's open so anyone can join. Not everythin' I tell people is announced in channel, but I have done so before. Also, in regards to not knowin' the rules, for everyone I invite to BMT, I send a tell that sums up the rules o' the channel along with the invite. I also make an entry into their global note that I've done so.

    Quote:
    I'm not trying to add to the drama by pointing out this; just trying to show things in a different way. How the channel is moderated isn't perfect and players will always make that point clear, but I still find it the best channel to be in when looking for groups on the server so it works for me.
    The only people who make it clear are those that can't follow the rules or feel the moral need to defend the "downtrodden".

    Except that isn't the case here. At least not the way it's bein' sold.

    Since you weren't there, you can't be sure of that, can you? I've seen you mod a conversation before it even got started plenty of times. So much for that idea.
    Perhaps because I've let conversation along those previous lines happen recently. Say, I don't know, when Skittle and Canucker were both advertisin' PvP last week and I didn't mod the conversation, just to name an occasion.


    Quote:
    Again, you only know about what goes on while you're online. I would imagine that if conversations got out of hand without your presense, a different mod would speak up. Have you ever tried to see if a different mod would say something before you would? Maybe go on hide for a while and see what the channel is like if people thought you weren't there? Maybe you'd see things differently, though since it's you, probably not.
    Actually, I have. And I've witnessed mods involvin' themselves in said conversations, instead o' moddin'em. I've also spent sick days home, on hide, and the channel basically runs itself. I'm well aware o' this. That's namely due to server population and that the most agregious o' chatty offenders aren't online.


    Quote:
    You moderate questions about the market, or people offering stuff for trade. That's game related, and yes, I know there is a channel specifically for that, but it's pretty obvious it doesn't get used much or you wouldn't see that stuff in BMT. Do you want another example, cause I could probably come up with more.
    I'm aware that there's a channel for it as I'm in it, and most o' the people are from BMT, as I know the people that created and moderate it. If they don't chose to use it, despite bein' in it already, that's simply laziness. And yes, I will moderate it, despite the fact that it's game-related. Just like I'll moderate farms for influence even though there's a badge for influence. It's not black and white.

    Quote:
    Why would I leave the most populated Champion channel because of a difference of opinion with one person? Do you think you're that important to the server?
    I'm not sure how you leavin' the channel equals me bein' important, but it comes down to this: if you don't like rules, then don't stick around. Easy as that.

    And no, I don't think I'm that important. I didn't ask to be moderated. I didn't ask to get remoderated when I demoted myself. But clearly someone trusts me to enforce the rules.

    End O'story or not, CA, it seems pretty inappropriate and has opened the door to plenty of people telling others asking a simple question to RTFMOTD and that is rude. Period. End of story, as u say.

    U know I've always said you are at least, for the most part, even keeled with the way u run the channel but some things are just not needed. RTF is one of them IMO.
    Your opinion. Got it. Thanks.

    Edit: Ironically, the majority o' people that are bein' told to RTFMotD are people who honestly know better, know the times o' various raids that have been happenin' for days, weeks, and months for some time now and shouldn't have to be told to do it.

    I'm not trying to pick fights but **** like GTFO and RTF MoTD seem pretty inappropriate and unnecessary and I've been wondering what is up every one's *** lately? Just curious, feel free to flame away but srsly, it's pretty rude to treat peeps that way.

    I don't think that I got myself knee-deep in a ******** contest with Vori and friends to save the channel a year or so ago for everyone to dog peeps and treat them like ****, I'm really starting to wonder why the hell I went through all of that to save the channel in the first friggin place.
    Rude to tell people to read the MotD that maybe, just maybe, has information that pertains to their question? And maybe, just maybe, if they read it then they wouldn't have had to ask their question in the first place? And maybe, just maybe, if they're made aware that it's there and there's appropriate information in it then they'll refer to it in the future?

    I dunno. Seems a bit o' a stretch to me, Meowtch.

    It's not like I personally don't appreciate what you did to help maintain the integrity o' the channel with the aforementioned shenanigans, but this stuff happens. This isn't a 'lately' thing. It's basically been happenin' since I started to enforce the rules more stringently. But I'd rather this happen than hear 'bout people turnin' off the channel due to rampant spam that only pertains to two people chatterin' on in regards to their personal lives, or this or that person's movie review, or what music people like to listen to currently on their playlists. And yes, these are all things that happened durin' the week prior to me steppin' up moderation. If the channel gets turned off, then people aren't usin' it for what it's intended. It's design and implimentation was about Badges, Monsters, and Task Forces. If people can't abide by that, then they really can GTFO and find another place to chit-chat.

    If it takes someone to be the ******* to keep the channel functionin' compared to how it was before, then so be it. Only one thing would make me change how I go about things, and so far, nothin' in this thread or in-game has been it.

    End o' story.
