Lead Admin self nomination - Boom

[boombrakh]

Despite this being the wrong place for personal attacks, I can't really go to the IA since he's one of the people engaging in the personal attacks. Let's just call it "asking the hard questions" and keep the ball rolling.

Could you provide more serious and reasonable information?

It would seem that the shortest and most direct answer to that question is "no". I could elaborate and ask what you mean by "reasonable information", but I honestly don't care.

Anyone with access to the relevant threads knows you are lying, and I would rather you be honest and forthcoming.

So I didn't name the NPC "Emissary"? And despite knowing what "relevant thread" you are referring to, I think I know where this is all coming from. I could very likely have referred to the Emissary as an "avatar", without meaning it's the Avatar in the sense that Zelknolf (and you) are referring to. But for arguments sake, let's say it was the actual Avatar of whatever god it was that I was using at the time. Still wouldn't have changed anything, nor would it change my reply to Zelknolfs question. If I want to as a DM, I'll call down a whole pantheon if I feel that it's the right thing to do. You might not think so, but then that will be reflected in the way you DM, wont it?

The only thing you are doing now is trying to break apart my replies to score some easy points on semantics and if that is all you can/want to contribute to this, go right ahead and watch me ignore the rest of your comments.

Fair enough, and good luck in the election.

If you feel you actually need the IA for anything, send me a PM, or contact someone else if you feel you are the subject of personal attacks.

If you guys have grudges, I suggest you work them out in an appropriate place - PMs, chat, skype, whatever.

I will not tolerate further ad-hominems in an election platform, neither by the candidate nor seated Admins.

Thanks and carry on, though I guess the derailment is completed now.

I don't have any grudges. I keep running into theirs all the time though. Steps to work them out has been taken in the past though, but other parties wanted none of that. C'est la vie I guess.

I will not tolerate further ad-hominems in an election platform, neither by the candidate nor seated Admins.

Finally, someone steps in.

Thanks and carry on, though I guess the derailment is completed now.

So.. mission success?



Also: I realize that being admin is not viewed upon the same way for everyone. To some, it is the culmination of achievement in this community, to others it is a means to an end, or a calling, or perhaps a self-imposed responsibility. Regardless, I try (and sometimes fail) to not try to think too hard on why people do what they do. I bury my axes in shallow ground so as to not feel the need to grind them all that often. I would suggest others try to do the same if this place is going to become more than the personal playground for the select few. I think it was shad0wfax who wrote something about admin having to be able to work together and discuss things to come to agreement. I also understand that not everyone likes everyone else. But there has to be a line drawn where you don't actively go out searching for conflict. Especially when you are an Admin.

Bullying, threats, and coersion have no place in this community. We've lost too many people because of it, let's try to keep the ones we have left.

Which sadly are only the crazist that were willing to suffer all that, or the jaded which all that shyte caused them to simply not care.

Don't have a question, really, I know you well enough to know that while you often piss me off, and I do have doubts about your long term survivblity in a position, I'll vauge for your fairness in situations of altrecation (Which we had a few of in the past) and towards friends and none-friends. While we were never friends you were always more than fair to me when you were HDM.

I can't say the same for other candidates/other people who posted here.
So don't take it so hard.

..running unopposed is dumb..

Since CD is back in the game, I am no longer needed and I will do what all the greats before me (Dorn <3 and Heero) have done and step down from the election.

Good luck in the election to both CD and shad0wfax.


EDIT: Also, I think it's time for a new profile pic..
