If anything, it removes any doubt about how people intend on operating in the future, so that people new to the "game" know the score.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

I suppose it does imply that there's a higher authority to appeal to, but hell, it's Ping... Can't ask for a more objective opnion than "I don't give a <censored>". We could probably all use a little more Ping around here

Dog barks.
Maintenance guy at the park kicks the dog.
Owner of the park pays the dogs vet bills and pats his head and makes him feel all better.
Doesn't change the fact that the dog remember who kicked him/her and feels that they didn't deserve to get kicked.
Said dog now barks and growls at the maintenance guy every time he sees him.
People that know the maintenance guy did it just because he thought he was helping keep the park a nice place for everyone side with him.
Other dogs that were also kicked side with the kicked dog.
What we have now is a bunch of bitter dogs running around in a park that was supposedly designed for their enjoyment making a fuss.
All of it could have been avoided.
Some will argue the dog shouldn't have barked, some will argue the maintenance man shouldn't have kicked them.
Humans really are not much different.

Analogy........and any time someones feelings are hurt you can bet there was some way to have avoided it. Or at very least a better effort after the fact to kiss it and make it all better.

I would actually agree. There are actually a lot of legitimately hurt feelings over the situation. Making light of it was intentional, especially being I have my own history in the equation. The last thing we need is more drama on top of more drama atm.

I'm not goin' to weigh in anyone on the thread than I already have with the OP's post, other than to say this:
It's not my channel, as Amy noted in response to Marut's post. She isn't, in any way, defendin' my actions, nor should anyone other than myself when the situation calls for it. I've never said it's my channel/playground/kingdom. I just moderate it, which doesn't just mean that I have the star to invite people. I enforce the rules. If someone has a problem with my actions as a moderator, take it up with Ping. This usually only comes into play when the action is contested in some way, and it usually is. There are occasions where it's frightfully obvious why it happened, and there's no argument.
There's a whole history on why the channel is the way it is, why it's private, why there was two previously, etc. I'm not goin' to go into it as it's not the point o' the thread.
Just wanted to clarify.
Game on.
P.S. Before someone brings up the inevitable 'where are the rules posted' dead horse to beat, everyone that I invite to the channel gets a tell from me with the rules listed. If you want a copy, which I've posted in numerous threads in response to someone QQin' 'bout bein' booted for breakin' the rules, I'll send it to you in a PM.

Well, my experience in bmt and what has been said. Some of the rules from bmt is bend to certain players. I really care less about the subject of bmt or cobalt cause champion united was form to not to strict rules like what's inplace in bmt. Well other then that it is what it is.

You really should use it more often. Remember how peaceful and fun this place used to be when we ran it back in the day, mildly hallucinogenic telekinetic stimulation just isn't practiced anymore.

Most definitely. Nothing that has happened in the last couple of years has had the server in nearly the uproar it was in back in the old days. That drama was wayyyy more entertaining as well IMHO. Most of this recent drama is barely popcorn worthy.

If this can make us all come closer together as a server I think it is a great idea.

Nah, just look at the transcript of all the big 04-05 SG leaders coming together to tackle what turned out to be an issue on all the other servers,
those folks tried to help the whole game 'community' before the tech was added to enable complete /hide.
Bert, Ring, Uman, Marut, Ranma, and everyone else on the boards and in-game, those were fun gaming times.

Stryker/VORI and all that mess from 2006-on sure brought the drama train.

"Patch notes update: 11/12/2007; build: 1.6.1234567890
CHAMPION
Powers
Added inherent power "Insult" to all characters on champion server, this allows you to insult other players.
Added inherent power "Inflated Ego" Joining champion server now adds +50% Ego allowing you to feel good about yourself.
Ego suppresses on both the caster and target when insult is cast.
To help alleviate this we've added Drama Recovery at 2000% once the duration of Insult has worn off. This way even if your feeling down everyone else can just get some popcorn and have a good time. Its all about community after all, right?
End of notes.
"
Guys. Its just part of the drama patch. You can't do anything about it on champion.
