Curiose

I only speak for myself, Mur, when I say that the reason I personally drew similarities between him and Fang (and maybe a bit of Seigheart), was because of the social behavior. It didn't have anything to do with the role at all. But what they did with the social pressures, and the reactions and the general lack of accountability when those pressures arose. I feel that maybe others feel the same in that regard, however, I cannot speak for those with the biggest opposition.

I can't really comment on the favoritism, but I am curious about the failed role of Seig and Fang, if you would be willing to oblige me.

So I thought I would try my hand at emulators and roms, and I'm making a big mess of it, it seems... Every file is corrupt, (game cube) or just doesn't work because I'm missing a plug in or something? (Nintendo 64). The programs aren't even showing up in my uninstall list when I use my control panel, so I have no idea how to get rid of them completely to start over. Halp, please. I am kind of desperate for it. I don't even have a qualm about screen sharing my PC if it would make things easier.

On phone, will be brief. Read what these people are saying. Read and understand (not read and move on) what I wrote to you. These people (marv and chew) are giving you the things that you need to work on before you can proper move on. They aren't bashing you. They aren't being overly critical, either. You seriously need an attitude adjustment, because right now, you're borderline lost cause (for me at least). This isn't intended as an insult, but some growing up is in order.

I am going to clarify on a point that I think needs clarifying on my post above. Regarding DD's actions being laced entirely of self purpose: He has said before, and many times, that this was an attempt at aiding the community at large. However, I find that is countered by his "need to report" the actions of Dst and Eon. I find that to be the opposite of helping the community, and again, only fuels personal vendetta and otherwise pursues to continue the squabbling between the two. I personally feel that if you want to help something, you do so with pure intentions of helping without ulterior motives. Positivity is a moving force, stuff toxicity into it, and it just becomes a shamble. If you want to help the community, you set your quarrels aside. You work together. You make something of what you have despite what you don't. I don't believe DD did this, I also don't believe he had the right intentions in place when he went to the council about this. Never the less, segwaying council and going directly to Mur. That's a slap to the face, IMO.

Preface: I don't really care to comment on all the other stuff. I mainly just have a question (or two) I wish to ask DD specifically. I thought about writing a separate topic on this, but felt it would be too generalized and therefor, needed to be direct. DD... You state you wanted to help MD grow as a whole, however, I feel that your actions were laced entirely of self purpose. Potentially of a vendetta against Dst, and perhaps even Eon. Do you have any idea of what your actions can, and have done? Do you even understand the concept of accountability? Not that of others, but yourself? In a lot of commentary I see that many have tried to help you, before, and after. Yet you brush them off. And when you brush them off you point the finger at them and say that they were at fault. Have you bothered considering that maybe... You, were the one at fault? I see a lot of "but they did.... But they said.... but they want...." A lot of "theys". Not a lot of "I's". You can point the finger at Dst or Eon, but you can also point the finger at Chewett and Mur and Council, too. You can point the finger at everyone who has spoken to you, given you support, help, or ideas. But at the end of it all, you are the one with the burden to bear. And with that burden, you carry the poison of your lack of accountability for your actions. If you are to even succeed, I suggest that you take a long hard look at your actions and yourself and fix what needs to be fixed before you even consider moving forward with your role. Not only that, but I feel you also need to apologize to the people you have brushed off for even trying to help you. Take responsibility and part of the blame. And maybe you might have better working relationships.

Perhaps be careful of what you wish for if you do not care to suffer the consequences. I feel that is justification enough. Not the "solution" but the backfire upon dd.

On phone, will elaborate later. Eon, if you swallow your pride, and respectfully speak to him, is awesome. He's one if my best friends in MD, and back when he wasn't a power house, he was actually really, really helpful with a lot of things. He even gave me birds and was patient to help me train way back when. What pissed him off the most is when people don't treat him with respect, or even regard the fact that... Hey, if you don't want something tampered with (I think he even helped me get back at the folks who put me in stat damage, and helped me get out), ask. If you want help, ask. I don't know dst as well as Eon, but I can only assume that she works on the same modem. We have had our spats, but it's never gone as far as the dd, dst thing.

Sure, I'll join you. I'll toss you a PM and see what we can do, ja?

Uhm, no. You're misconstruing what chewett was saying and frankly, I find that stupidly rude. If Chewett or Mur or anyone of a high position of power regarding the higher workings of MD, then you need to rely on other powers that be to get your stuff done or just do it yourself. If people running things can't be competent enough to run their own events, then the onus is on them.

Huh. That's odd. But then again, this was years ago... Thanks for the clarification!

@No One: I was an MP3 when I joined the Legend Speakers. Are you speaking mechanically wise, or morally wise, when you say no MP3 can join Alliances? edit: Granted, things may have changed, hence why I ask for clarification.

@ DST When you say rebellions can't happen, are you speaking via mechanics? Or otherwise? If mechanics, did it get removed? Because we had a necrovion rebellion some years ago.

I do recall. And I understand. Thank you. Edit: I retract my offer to be the post man. Hindsight is 20/20. Haha.

I have two cats and one puppy. I am more of a dog person myself, as I feel you can do more with them. My puppy is a real charmer, though. I have had some great laughs with him, and some very big furstrations. However... wouldn't give him up for the world. Adopted him about three months ago. Life has been grand with him in our lives.

I would like to step up. I feel I am suitable because of my prior experience as a secretary and my desire to get things done. I do have a caveat that if there is no work to be done, that I go back to being dormant as real life responsibilities do hold precedent. However, I am reliable and willing to get things done quickly and efficiently as shown in the past.

Skills: Managing and organizing things to do, preparing things to be done. A secretary. MD interests: Secretarial things. Running "errands. " Would like to do: Just about anything asked of me so long as I have definite instruction and it does not require creative thinking. eta: My time in MD is dependent on whether or not I have a job/assignment. My time on will be more prevalent, however, if I have nothing then my attention is refocused to real life responsibilities.

Why change something that has been around for years? it seems redundant and a waste of resource.

Thanks guys!

Oh well, you can't win them all I guess.

I suppose so. But I remember others doing the same and getting a rebuttal.

Another tidbit of advice: I would highly suggest limiting your backseat modding, such as saying something should be closed. It's a bad habit to get into and not appreciated by the moderating team.
