Map 1 crack down (a typical thread in the admin forum)

Post by Stalker »

As you all may know at Wednesday Map 1 detailing will be closed. This is because I no longer trust regular members to do the job. They literally have done nothing in nearby weeks. So it is now core's responsibility to finish it and make it mint clean. To be more exact I think Dex, the one elected as an exterior administrator*cough*, must put the most work into it. After all it's fucking ridiculous to be an ext admin and not to do any work on one of the most important ext problems TR has.

Uh, I don't want to sound like I'm not doing my job or anything, but I really don't have time for detailing right now. The semester is drawing to a close with finals in two weeks, and I've got more shit to do than I can believe. I shouldn't even be on the computer in the first place.
That aside, detailing was the absolute worst job I've ever done for this project, and I think that being responsible for the rest of the detailing claims would drive me over the edge.

Well Dex than why are you ext admin than ? Give the position to kf, he's more suitable.

I agree. Dexter, ever since you have become an admin you have done nothing but lazing around and throwing some bullshit remarks around the forum. Before you were a part of this project, now you're just not showing your face for the most part and when you do, it's to lock a thread or some other form of authoritarian behaviour. I think kingfish has way more skill than you in CS work, in people-management and every other aspect of an admin's job. Your laziness actually was one of the reasons I got fed up with fixing Map 1 and made me leave the project in the first place. I didn't feel like expressing it because I thought I alone felt like that, but now I talked to several other members and read Stalkers posts, I think it's clear it's your time to go.

I suppose I've never been one for strong words. Mostly just the occaisional accusation of Nazi affiliations. But this is different.

What the hell do you mean, guys?

OK, so what if Dex has exams coming up and can't give his all to the project? Can you really blame him for having a life? He's got more of a life than any of us.

Also, let's compare what he's done to what everyone else is done. Clearly, Stalker's saying he's useless. Well, where's the progress in all the other parts of the project, then?

Stop calling the kettle black, guys. We've much more important things to do.

I don't think anybody should be pointing the finger at anyone here, if there is a problem then we just have to get over it.
I have to admit though, Dex you haven't been doing a lot of work for the project of late and I've only seen you around int he admin forum complaining about how much work there is and how bored you are.

However, that said, can we all calm down and try to get this sorted out in a civil manor? Or must you all rip each other's heads off first?

I agree with vegor here. Koth....erm I mean dexter shouldn't be exterior admin. He has developed the AAS that he claimed not to be getting. Now just like Koth did in his last half a year, dexter only pops in to be authoritative.

Kingfish should be made exterior admin

You know what Stalker? Fuck you. I'm the only one here who actually does this for the fun of it and not because they fear you and your Nazi slavedriver ideals. You're just like Noir. Some driven lowlife with nothing better to do than sit at a forum all day and boss people around into finishing a project that will never earn you anything in life other than the respect of a community full of ESF nerds, and even that is extremely unlikely. If there's one thing that pisses me off at this project, it's some ex-commie wannabe dictator trying to run other people's lives from his computer.
And then Vegor of all people has the balls to turn on me. I won't even bother with Eraser, since we all know he has no right to say anything about me being lax in my duties, but Vegor? Vegor, you stepped up to Admin for a few months and did NOTHING but piss me off the whole time.
If you dickheads think that I'm going to put forth that sort of work on this project, you're sorely mistaken. Perhaps your utter lack of social lives has skewed your perspective of reality, but I'm not doing that shit, and I highly doubt that Kingfish is either.

Well...as Veg said it was YOU who made him left...so meh. Also being Nazi and commie doesn't really go along together...
You understanding of "fun" is really perverted. If it is "fun" to sit on your huge hairy ass and do nothing except of bashing new members (*hint*Old Ye Bard thread*hint*) and locking interesting discussions, if it is "fun" to make something as "complete" and "final" as OE was (I had to fix countless bugs when I was merging it with map 3, literally redo half of it) than you really should concider the fact that "fun" for most members and "fun" for you are two different things. Of course being big dumb brute is cool and all but maybe it's time to releive a spot for more educated people ?

now, now people, calm down. the truoth is niether of you are duing very much work. Dexter is not duing his job and taking care of the maps (which still require alot of work to get them enve to alpha) and Stalker isent fixing OoT and making the maps compatible like hes supose too. if bin duing more work during this past week combined. everyday im slaving away and fixing and aproving around 2-4 ints(from map one mind you) while you sit around and argue about who is tougher. didnt we alredy have this fight? a chick kicked all your buts. and a chick will kick them again (only me this time) if you lazy bastards dont stop complaing and actualy start contributing.

if i had bin admin, none of this shit would have ocured...

I'm speechless - I go away for a few days and you two lose your fucking shit. I knew this would happen. Well I've had it with the both of you. This time off has made me realise there is a lot more to life than trying to run this fucker of a project. Stalker, you need to chill the fuck out and get your mind off progress. Dex, I do like your attitude towards TR, but the American redneck in you ALWAYS HAS TO SHINE RIGHT THE FUCK THROUGH DOESN'T IT.

Dex, you can contact me on AIM if you want to talk about this - the rest of you are blocked. Demote me to Honorary status. I may come to post a leaving thread in a few days if I get the time.

Good luck

Goodbye

Oops. Seems like it has even a bigger effect that we expected it to have :p Vern chill out. Everything above is a well-thought prank. It is a joke. With a lot of planning before. We are not being serious man !

No, actually, fuck that. Vern, go ahead and get out of here. We all know you weren't sticking around anyways. You were leaving in four months, isn't that what you told me online? We were buds so I didn't say anything to the rest of these idiots, but if you can't even take a fucking joke, I don't want to have you around here, and I damn sure don't want to be the one to stick up for you when you drop all and leave four months from now.

Bloody hell! This is one twisted joke! :shock: This certainly had me going, I thought I was seeing TR crumble, which would be devastating considering what's been accomplished.

...well, it was funny once I read it was a joke, although some of the things said were way out of character, gave it away a little, not that I really know everyone's character here :), but you dont usually see shit like this publically floating around.

Good one guys, next time, get the public involved, I can't imagine the chaos that would ensue :twisted:.

This was all prank? Well, that's good. But IMO this was, as morden so rightly expressed,cruel and tragic joking. Moreover, it was SICK and UNNECCESSARY joking.

I know you guys are frustrated because of the fact that this project hasn't gone anywhere for a while. I feel that way too.

Yes, I know I haven't done anything to this project. But that is not my point. My point is that this was utterly morbid way of joking. There is as much hatred in the world as it is and to make joke about it..

That being said, I have spoken.

Yeah, F. Nietzsche was accused of anti-semitism because of his concept of Ubermensch used by nazis in their Aryan ideology. (And for the record, the concept aryan and also the swastika symbol or the "nazi cross" are originally concepts coming from buddhism and were widely used in Europe before the Holocaust. So damn nazis not just killed millions of jews, but also things connected with goodness and happiness were used to promote the evil)

Also he was accused of atheism and chauvinism. The former accusation was made because he thought that christian religion represented so called slave morality,meaning that the way of christian moral thinking was too narrow-minded. He himself thought that we should instead be following so called master morality, have the courage to form own moral ideas (Forming your own moral ideas doesn't neccesserally mean that they would be evil)

What it comes to latter, that is chauvinism, aren't all men automatically chauvinistic pigs? (this is half-sarcastic joke)

Besides, Nietzsche was just basically a looney, rambling his ideas in those various books he wrote during his rather short and unhappy life

Sorry, I had to write this because I am philosophy student and so naturally I take claims concerning philosophy as serious and personal as for example Morgoth takes any views concerning LOTR.
