no need to twist your panties up because someone upset you a little.

learn to take a joke and that you arent always going to get along with everyone you have to deal with. even in games :D

Your comments were completely charged out of dislike for vendrin personally, not about his credentials for office.

You don't seem to have much patience for someone running a joke platform.

My comments about Vendrin are specifically focused on things that impact his qualifications as a DM and HDM -- namely that he overtly and egregiously violates standards and publically lies about it. Were my comments about my personal feelings, I would have pointed out that another left the server when I went, and both left the server because of pervasive and persistent out-of-character sexual harrassment for which "I'm gay" was not a strong enough "no", and would have described his DMing and worldview as that of a horny 12-year-old boy with a sticky copy of Penthouse on the desk next to his keyboard.

I respond on two points!

1) I have no patience for Amar. The focus makes a difference. :P

2) If all you see is the joke, I reccomend a reread and some thought.

Ouch, I didn't realize I had left such a negative impression, and I don't honestly remember you coming to me with complaints like that, but I suppose if you did, I didn't do well enough to meet them and for that I apologize.

As for xp, I thought the roleplaying was deserving of it, and any magic items I handed out for the most part were drowcraft, so that means upon leaving the server they turned to dust.

Fixed. I read it for the articles.

It is widely believed that you ignore standards with abandon Vendrin, fwiw.

Perhaps it might be helpful if there was an ALFA Org chart, and perhaps a rationalisation of the positions so there is less of the he said/she said.

Scroll down in the charter and it should give you some help understanding this part of ALFA.

I know the first 6 months I was a part of ALFA I never logged into the forums, so you are light years ahead of me when I first joined up.

Hope that helps.

I have read through some of this previous to this post, but i was reffering to more of a visual org chart, showing a position in a box, then a line to anothr position, weather this line travels up or down the chart, shows who reports to who, or ifthe line is horizontal, then the postions are equal. Each division in the company i work for hs one, they are one of the largest defence contractors in the world, so it can get complicated where all the prople fit in.

Ahhh I see.

Yeah we don't have anything like that. I'm sure we could make it, some folks in here have exceptional photo-shop and visual crafting talent...

Org Chart, for those who asked. I thought Cipher did a fairly detailed one a long time ago, possibly with pictures (forum avatars) of everyone in those offices. Still, better than nothing.
