Those are serious accusations, do you have any tangible proof to back up that slanderous statement? Because if you don't I surely hope you are going to retract those remarks or put the proof up for everyone to see.

Mocking a GM is the same thing as mocking another player which could warrant a ban and maybe should be even worse. Melkior said you shouldn't take offence to being mocked unless it's a dictatorship? Try mocking a police.

Delasia and doorsman got frustrated with some players and gave them a temp ban. This problem probably could've been prevented. I'll let those punished speak of the character of what happened, but I think we can move forward if we move the conversation onto conflict prevention. If I'm not mistaken, no official ruling can occur on who can or can't be a GM until Bjorn returns and by then this incident probably will be old news.

Draft an official statement on this event and prepare to send it to Bjorn. Other than that, we can work on preventing this and other problems in as constructive a manner as desired.

Also, I recommend "The Alternate World" as a place to craft a slowly growing player community if living with these GMs until an official ruling is made seems intolerable. MadCamel has established a way to increase your power level to be very similar to your TMW character, so little would be lost if you made the switch.

And if the police do something, try suing them. People win millions on police brutality cases.

That's what was in the ban report and you said so yourself that "oh they weren't talking about doors and del they were talking about gm's as a whole in general.."

So the story has changed not a bit huh? So GM's as a whole? What did MK, Katze, Vink, and Capitan do to warrant the mockery? That's like lieing about another player and saying stuff about them which isn't true, which yet again falls under rule #1. Not backing them up, but there's always 2 sides to a story.

Shame you have to result in name calling, but hey all I see in your posts anyway are

"well i don't care they abused their power"
"well i don't care I don't like them"
"well i don't care it was better back in the day"
"well i don't care i love platyna"
"well i don't care lmao i'm cool lol f u"

Not direct quotes, but close enough you get the jist..

shame because you are noob and try to talk about someone that you know nothing about? and they did abuse thier power i've said it many times now and i still continue to say it, also call them fail GM's, Platyna kept this game sane still but yet not going overboard like they did.

There you go.. you weren't even banned, and when did I say you lied? I was talking about the people who were actually involved in the case..

"lol they are fail GM's" <- Is that something cool to say nowadays? Fail GM's? Wtf? Oh you're a badass..

Keep soaking in the drama.

This thread is not about the two of you. Don't let your overheat get to you.

Also, Booth, apart from the one slip-up with the ban trigger, what else did these two do?

Don't like how the official server is run? Go on, set up your own server. See how long you hold out until it dies.
The "success" of the official TMW server isn't result of the work of our sucky GMs but the support of our beloved polish lady and the fact that it is the official server (standard client connects to it automatically).

See what all your bitching and complaining gets. All you achieved was the above quote. Which is a shame the boost in events recently kept things fresh and interesting. So you managed to appease a few cry babies and ruin the fun of the majority of the community. Rot in hell.
