Post ----- The network executives are extremely tempted to cancel this show because of how boring it has become over the years. ----- End Post ---------- I'm sorry, but I actually have a life outside of this forum. One that kind of sucks at the moment. I just lost my job, and I've been desperately trying to set things straight to avoid a lawsuit over it. Yeah, I complained about how slow it was going also, but again, we have separate lives (some of us adult ones here.) I appreciate your moderating style, but it still hasn't quite been 48 hours. Perhaps you should try to not be so edgy. Thanks. FinalAnswer19 RegisFan---------- End rant That being said, I know this one. I'm an advid TV cooking show fan and an amateur chef myself.

On our profile pages, there's a handy button that says "Send Staff PM" and you can hit us both at the same time. 2. I'm not being edgy. I'm doing my job. Which is to keep it moving. This RPG started behind schedule. There have been multiple slowdowns (granted, we're not going to catch them all before others say something) but since you had pointed out earlier this week that it was going slow, I kept a extra close watch on it. If you had continued in the game and sent the staff a private PM explaining the situation, we would be handling this issue differently. Instead, you chose to make it public and that's where the problem is. If you or anybody else want to continue this discussion, do so through a PM with the staff. This thread is not the place. ----- End |

Post ------------------ millionairefan1, we have always been understanding about extraordinary circumstances in real life affecting RPG participation. However, the staff cannot be understanding if you don't let us know about the situation. Instead of publicly calling out FinalAnswer19 and myself, you could have used the same time and effort that you used to write that post to send us both a private message. ------------------ End |

I don't understand that. If we get called out publicly, why should our responses be private? There's a difference between moderating, and being rude and sarcastic out of turn. The likes on my original comment show that I'm not the only one who feels this way. And I have thought this on several different occasions besides this one occurrence. Had it have been outside of the 48 hour period, sure. But that comment came around only 30 hours, and during my time to respond. My comment was public for not only the staff, but also for other users to understand my situation. I run several forums and successful pages outside of here, so I have a good bit of experience in this field. Being rude and sarcastic out of turn is not the way to moderate a website, and it isn't something that I will just keep quiet on. If a comment is publicly made towards myself or involving me in some way, I will reply publicly. Simple as that.

Pokemon X and Y take place in Kalos, which is modeled after France, but not actually claiming to be France, so again, another shaky question.

Post ----- Alright, so I guess we'll take this a different direction. Since you refuse to follow directions of the staff (which is a direct rule violation and there will be additional sanctions for that) and insist on doing business your way, I'll address this publicly. If I was trying to be nasty, you would know it. I would have said something along the lines of "This RPG better not have another delay or it will be over and any participants responsible will be banned from RPG participation for 30 days." Instead, I put a little humor into it. You yourself admitted you have had a rough patch in your life. That kind of thing puts people on edge and often times "the defense." Nobody was attacking you. You took it personally. I'm also not a fan of your implication that RegisFan and I don't have "adult jobs." I don't know what RegisFan does but I referee volleyball and basketball AND I work for the local NBA team. I'd say those are adult jobs. But I could be wrong. Our job is to keep the RPG moving. That involves publicly posting "nudger posts." That's not "calling out" anybody. If I was going to call you out, I would have said "Millionairefan1! Time to post!" followed by the line above. One of the likes on your other post was one who has been called out publicly before himself and is glad someone is trying to "stand up" to the staff. The other is the host who you called out earlier in this game. (Which, by the way, was backseat moderating. Notice how we let it fly? Well, we were going to let it fly...) With your "good bit of experience" in this field, I would have expected you knew it was common practice to make a thread in a different board (on this site, that would be the General Discussion section) if you feel there is something that needs to be shared about your personal life. Sounds like you've got organized sites if everything is posted wherever one pleases! If you considered the nudger post "rude and sarcastic," I'm sorry you took it that way. However, I was not out of turn. If anyone is out of line, that would be you. There are others who want to play and host RPGs. When the games lag, they tend to PM RegisFan and myself wanting another RPG to start. But it can't because any said current RPG is dragging. My thing is if you treat me with respect, we'll have no problems. I will return the respect. But if you don't, then we'll have issues. Also, if I remember correctly, this is not the first tantrum you've thrown here. Oh, and in light of doing business publicly, I should point out that you earned a 20% raise in your warning level for your rant earlier. That doesn't include any sanctions for this outburst. Now, I'm going to tell you one more time. If you want to continue this discussion, do so through a staff PM. ----- End |

Post ----------------- This discussion is over. millionairefan1, you broke the rules that you agreed to abide by when you signed up for this role and willingly opened yourself up to disciplinary action. You then attacked the staff twice after being asked to take the conversation to a private setting. You've left me with no choice but to ban you, so that's what has been done. I wish you all the best with your real life struggles, but this community will not pay the price for your bad attitude. The RPG host role is up for grabs if anyone actually feels like picking up the pieces at this point. ----------------- End |

I apologize for my absence. My internet connection was lost yesterday. Seeing as this problem may happen again, and I have already been replaced, I would like to drop out of the game. I hope I've not caused any confusion and delay.

Given Jumpman was the original protagonist, and how Mario typically plays that role, it only makes sense to say C, final answer.
