Zelimos Leaves
GameBoy
17 Jun 2006, 04:53I've been floating around since 2002. But, goodbye AxeUK.
The following predictions will happen
DavidW will post something offensive
Tron will post something
Anybody will post something offensive/retarded
The topic will get locked.
I'll never find out

Well if he's an enemy of davidw, then he's a friend of mine. That's for sure. davidw has been sending some very hurtful and mean PMs to me. I'll leave it at that.
SO zelimos is going.... Why?

All the best,

26 Jun 2006, 21:27O Vaughan.. I didn't quite understand that triple negative in your second sentance..
You're saying if he was understood - but didn't realise it, he would have left? But he understood it and stayed?
Or he WAS misunderstood, but didn't realise it - and stayed?
Perhaps cool - if he wasn't cool, and didn't know it, then he would have gone - but he knew it and stayed?
Or he was cool - and didn't know it, so he stayed?
DavidW is much like that.. He may have caught me on a couple of occasions - I really can't remember.. But I always thought of him more like the kid in the playground which uses wit to prod the idiots/big-mouths.Some people have a hard time dealing with directness but you and I both know that's how it is.

So, What attitute was I in when I wrote that..... None really.
Jokes usually have a smiley alongside.
I was just listing out the possibilities from the sentance that he (O Vaughan) wrote above;
Zelimos is cool. He's misunderstood. If he weren't and he didn't realise it he would have left a long time ago.
ClC, I read an interesting news article about the internet breaking down barriers (blah-blah-blah) and it get's into where fights etc become more easy because there's less of a face-to-face situation..
Going back to what Zelimos said, you shouldn't act differently from real life to internet life. If you do, you're just pretending to be someone you're not.
Now g'wan (slang-slurred "go-on")... say more kind stuff about me ...
What was the point of this thread again?

27 Jun 2006, 19:54BTW, I saw what you posted about puzzles and I didn't think a lot of it at first but considering the innuendos used by yourself in this thread i am inclined to believe that you have insulted me. Shame, really. I thought things were cool between you and I. I suppose this has something to do with the posts I have made about davidw. You don't think I'm the only one who sees this in him, do you? The guy might contribute a thing or 2 but he's surely run off a lot of people during his reign of terror... Well, he is not going to run me off.

You're right about the nauseum bit, Zelim- Sorry, O_Vaughan. (Secret's safe with me, okay?) I've never come across anybody quite as nauseous as you. I love this bit:
Yeah, he is direct and whatnot but to compare him to that twat davidw is ludicrous

Where am I "slagging you off"?
I asked you a question, and then listed out the possibilities from the sentance you made above.. If this is what you call 'slagging off' then I'm suprised you can step outside your front door incase the mailman aggressivly attacks you with a "hello".
I've never thought of Zelimos as "direct". Direct is usually 'to the point without "buffers"'... Like this post.
I don't think I compared them either... Did I?

Innuendos?
As far as I remember I made a quote about not liking puzzles, except one - which was like a hexagon shaped puzzle.. 8-piece or something..
Actually, I'll just check..
Yup, I did the above, said I'd prefer to cut out shapes in paper rather than spend money on a picture puzzle, and I was rubbish at chess.
Then in this one I ask you a quite simple question, and you're acting as if I've insulted your mother..
I again, hope no-one adds any feeling into this post. If I was angry I'd USE CAPITALS OR BOLD... But I'm not.
Now I was going to add alot more to this - but thinking better, I'd prefer this taken out of the main window and into PM's, as it's not worth turning this into a peeing contest.
I'm sure if you like Zelimos that much, you can go join his forums (I'm sure there are many), and listen to his radio and bleat away...
... The second sentance in my last post was meant to be small... But I guess it didn't work.
And the first post of "Is he now taking random sentances from the internet and posting them like Stu?" was directed at Zel, who posted a random sentance which was weird...
Just to clear up some stuff..
And now David, glad to see you didn't greab your bags and leave the station.
Quite risky with the Zelimos accusation there.. And the whole calling him nautious...
Walking on the wild side there .

I think I've been fair in the face of obvious pointless arguing on the forum, and I have consulted with other more experienced mods wherever possible about the problems that I've seen. I've even asked the advice of a man in my office who has been on forums for a lot longer than me in order to make sure that I haven't made any silly mistakes.
Looking at the state of things at the moment, someone on a "power trip" might not be such a bad thing...

Lucy I appreciate your ethusiasm... although I feel (not to start a flame war or what not) that certian MODs here (a few the other MODs in particular) don't really care about what goes on. It's quite obvious isn't it? I mean you one particular individual that can post what ever he feels and generally lambast all the members here without anyone stoping him. That individual has built quite a POWer base here with many sycophants. On the other hand a n00bie like that stu makes one to many posts and is banned outright. It seems rather lopsided IMO.
It seems that the role of MODship which should be as a fair and impartial person is not the case here. It's more of (and again not to start a flame war or what not) one person filled with self importance and his minions running amoke across the board on a quest for male dominancy. The rest are too lazy or just plainly don't care enough to do anything.
I'm not trying to piss off anyone off with this post. Just stating the facts as I see them and offering an opinion.... I'm just trying to save you some headaches lucy....You're just going to be beating your head against the wall here... no one here gives a d@#n.

Definately.
Although, I've been moderating forums for years now, it seems that forums without a chat section are less likely to become corrupt by useless fights etc. If there isn't a reason given to members to chat about nothing other than the software (Or purpose of the site), then they'll usually keep on topic.
It's easier to moderate a community without a chat section, but if there's a chat section, you usually spend more time moderating that, and miss out important things that actually need to be moderated in the other forums.
In this case, moderators usually ignore chat forums, and let it all fire out, which makes the community look bad, and gives people reason to argue in other forums.
wooooow, it's all a big mess!
There are pleanty of chat sites and forums for general chat and flaming, this forum doesn't need one. If it lacked a chat forum, people would surely (or atleast mostly) stay on topic, providing the moderators kept strict rules on the other forums.
Lucy
06 Jul 2006, 12:56If there was a "chat" area AND a "flaming" area, people would know that their flames have to be kept to one place, and anything flamey in the chat bit would be moved or deleted.
It might also be a good idea to make it so that certain people only had access to the flame area and not the chat. Davidw seems to thrive on insulting people, which would be okay in a flame area, but since he doesn't contribute anything else to the chat area, he should probably be kept out of it.

True, although I'm not sure phpBB supports this by default, but i'm sure there's a modification somewhere.
You should talk to Alex, being a moderator yourself the idea would probably be approved.

You try to make out that you're very mature and everybody else are children trying to get attention. If this was the case, you'd stfu and ignore the chat forum completely.

06 Jul 2006, 15:01I know, Tr0n, you have mentioned that Zelimos is the forum scratching post and all that. He doesn't seem to mind so much but Davidw, like many egomaniacal hatemongers doesn't know where the line is. He crosses it constantly with random barbs and petty innuendo. His payoff is what he perceives as a win through intimidation of another person.
I liken this to having a huge steaming pile of crap in the hall that everyone has simply stepped around for ages. One day, someone comes along and says "hey, there is a steaming pile of crap on the floor. we need to clean it up". Then action is taken and the crap gets cleaned up and then it's a better place overall for that having happened.

Steve if you look back I tried to be friends with davidw, or the bare minimum not in a hostile posting situation. He is the one that's attacked me. I have no bad feelings towards anyone else.

I admire that in a person. I admire tr0ns courage to contiue supporting you even though you are a mean spirited person.

As far as I know, I don't 'support' him in any way shape or form.
The only fact I see, if that 3 people are 'ganging up' on another which they don't like.
I could gang up with David, and just continue to have a go at people if I wanted to, but I don't feel that way.
I'm basically standing in the middle, trying to hold off the worst from both sides.
I just realize that he is a bit, for a lack of better words "heavy handed" whilst MODerating my posts
Please, if you have any issue then PM Lucy/Alex/I with the details of why you think it's un-just. I do try my best to explain why I've done the things I do (edit,lock or delete).
I suppose you can post up here any examples you'd like to share, where I block off yours, while letting David loose... And just closing off a topic where he's a last poster (and so get's 'the last laugh') is not 'proof'.
Funny, I'm seeing that too. While everyone else is seeing it as a sudden 'fairness' has come over it somehow.Lucy, Unknown, Zelimos vs. davidw.... at least that's what I'm seeing.
Tr0n, you have mentioned that Zelimos is the forum scratching post
Yeah, and HOW! ... *sigh*
AHA!Just because I am a mod does not mean that I am not allowed to have an opinion of you or anything else.
This prooves my point... This is, a point I was going to post - but couldn't explain it properly.
You can't be a totally 'fair' moderator, as you form opinions about certain people. BUT, you can be as fair as possible etc.. And so your opinion doesn't really effect your mod stuff etc.
Hmmm, it's so hard to explain.

That's the entire point. The fact that he slams me and I dont get any retort. Now with the new policy I have to sit and take it. I can't start a new thread to voice my side.

You want us to remove his posts, and become one-sided, opinionated mod's?
That's just as bad as if we were deleteing your posts when you first arrived - or O_vaughans.
You PM a grievance to Lucy/Alex/I. A discussion would happen of some sort, and a warning will go out. After so many warnings (3 or 5?) within an amount of time, the user would be banned - or something up to Alex.

You'll probably see this as a bash - then again, you see everything I say as a bash so nothing new there - but bragging about a game you haven't even written yet after you've shown no indication that you even know how to write a game, is just going to make you look like a fool in the end.
You really think your game is so great? Fine. Take me up on my dare and enter it in this year's IFComp. When the critics from RAIF and RGIF have torn it apart in two dozen ways, slouch back here and I'll take great delight in saying "I told you so". But in the meantime, do everyone a favour and stop bragging about a game that isn't finished and, most likely, never will be.

No I dont see it as a bash. I see it as a challenge. If my game is finished in time I will enter it. If not I will enter it next year. Either way I will submit it... rest assured. It's magnicificant. I've stated this several times. You dont listen to what I say.. you just try to attack and bash my posts.

I've been reading all along. I'm not denying anything you're saying but here's some advice. As much fun as it is to read these "wars", if you wish to have them stop, just stop. If you say something about someone whether you're speaking to them or not, that person will respond....and then you respond...and then they respond.... (like how Tr0n has said several times) If you don't say something about that person in the first place, there's nothing to respond to. If you do happen to say something and they respond,...and then you DON'T respond....again, there is nothing to respond to. It's almost like magic.
The Unknown wrote:Steve I have no problems with you. How's your games coming along? I got a humdinger in the works. It's gonna be a great game.
Well thanks. My full version of King's Quest V has been done for a few weeks but my beta-tester wanted to pass it along to his programming friend before I post it on here. I don't want to toot my own horn but I'll say this though, if you put a lot of time into a game creating it, your work will definitely show in the end.
I am also working on Get Out of the Really Big House [currently working title]. It's the sequel to my first-ever game on Quest....well first game ever anywhere actually!
I started another game called Bonesaw. It's a comedy/horror. Strange combo but I think it'll be good. If I get cracking, I might be able to submit it in the IF contest. I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it though. We'll see.
paul_one
06 Jul 2006, 18:22Bonesaw would be quite cool in the IFcomp, I've always thought a game from you would have good dialog/story/descriptions.
If it doesn't make it this year, please wait until next year, as the extra time would work in your favor to add extra functionality/error messages.

I'm sure you can make it, and you're not a bad programmer yourself IIRC.. You've got most of the qualities.. Perhaps I just see you as an artistic guy or something :S .

07 Jul 2006, 13:17Lucy, Unknown, Zelimos vs. davidw.... at least that's what I'm seeing.
That annoys me a bit. I am trying to be fair and impartial, and despite the fact that I have been arguing with davidw (if you can call being insulted and responding to it "arguing"), I have also taken action against the others when they have done or said things which I think are out of line.
If davidw keeps putting himself in a belligerent position towards me, I have no intention of letting him walk all over me. If he starts acting like a gentleman he may find that I am much nicer in return. But that doesn't make me biased.
Ask The Unknown or O Vaughan if they think I am on "their side" - they have both had things locked, edited or deleted by me, and I won't put up with their crap any more than I will davidw's.

The Unknown brought up and then (I believe) retracted the idea that Davidw had a crew of sycophants here on the forums. I agree that he does not, although this may have been originally suggested by me in a post or two where I suggested that Davidw was tolerated due to his game writing abilities and esteem in the community.
I think what this is about is Davidw being in search of an entourage of sycophants. What I have referred as his "reign of tyranny" is actually a scenario where we have a madman in search of an army. His strategy of enrollment has thusfar been to pick out a few "marks" (myself included) and harangue us into submission or maybe as in Zelimos' case run us off altogether. Zelimos has returned but not without giving Davidw the satisfaction of a resignation speech. A trophy, if you will.
Now that I have unraveled Davidw's diabolical plot it will be interesting to see what plan he implements next from the Sociopath's Handbook.
