That can be summed up very very very simply...

Hawg's game. Hawg's way of doing things. If he wanted to have a planet full of pole dancing ponies because I don't know, LSD laden pixie stix, that's entirely fine. There's no rule anywhere saying admins/staff on a game have to stay out of discussions. Here's the thing. I've staffed/staff games and I have /never/ been told do not be yourself on public channels. Just keep it reasonable and keep it appropriate when dealing with players in an official capacity. Aside from that...fairly sure players are smart enough to know when you've got the staff hat on or not. That's common sense.

You join a game, you go by their rules, written down or not. There's unwritten rules everywhere. What, you think Wayfar's the only one with unwritten rules? Nope, everywhere has unwritten rules. Hawg is a lot more chill than some admins I know who would ban you for saying fuck, once...and who the hel are you to say what you did in @151

I get it. You're heated. I get it. But Wayfar's got a sizeable steady player count which is, if anything, a good thing

Sure, he can run it however he sees fit, I don't think anyone's arguing about that. However, he is not gonna come here and tell anyone that the social atmosphere wasn't similar to hell or was toxic. Your game, your right to simulate the holocaust if you want, just don't give me any bullshit.

I can anser the how to stay of off of any admins shit list very very easily..

Common sense.

Here's the thing though. Ishtaar did not make a good first impression. If. IF he'd have kept his mouth shut, and got somewhere in the game, then come out with I'm going to wreck you all, understandable. But no. He came in, dick waving with a giant superiority complex when there were much, much more experienced players, calling everyone else newbs for asking questions when the game relaunched that week, all the while going on this I am 48, I have a 2000 ELO I am so much better than you rant. Wolf, Mat and others called him out for it, but he didn't learn.

That was strike 1 really IMO, not making a good first impression and carrying on way, way way past when he was told to shut up and that nobody really cared at all, and for himt o just play the game

Strike 2.

I was paged by somebody on the game that stated, point blank, he didn't want to play, he wasn't interested in crafting at all and ddidn't want to craft, period.

Add in more running his mouth on chat with narrating absolutely everything he was doing, strike 2

And the dog thing was I believe the last straw

And before this comes up. I used him, because he was playing a female character, something he admitted on chatnet. So that answers that.

EDIT: Oh and on the first impressions, he attacked somebody's buildings then was running his mouth when he got killed by an older/more experienced player with good gear, whining and crying about how they were using an OP weapona nd gear and must be a powergamer

Wayfar1444 sounds like a interesting mud, but with all the surround pissing about just makes me want to stay clear. As far as I am thinking, where there is smoke, there is usually fire. maybe I will just go play Alter Aeon or Cosmic Rage or Miriani or Vast Horizon or awaken worlds or just read The Expanse series. At least that in the series I don't have to worry about any adman wanting to band me, or and players lieing or telling stories, or real shit going down. To say I am a bit mad goes without saying. Is the source code open sourced so that more than one copy can be hosted? You know, so that more than one adman can have a go to see who really does abetter job, or so that players have a bit of a choice of who they are playing with? It just seems that we have things like this blow up from time to time causing alot of dromma, and usually the fault is not usually not all that clear at times.

I will put my view down plainly. Even though the mud looks interesting, it is diffecult to join in when there appears to be alot of infighting around about this mud on a open forem such is the audiogames forem. It makes me ask the question why do I want to go and play a mud that smells like trouble when I can find other things that can usually keep me intertained? Yes, the mud may just be my cup of tea as it were. the infighting may be a huge cup of nothing cake tea coffee as it were. As for me being mad, it seems like every so often something blows up into a major thing on the forem. In away, it is a shame that the mud is going to remain closed source, but that is his choice to make.

The mud being closed source will be a shame until it goes down permanently again and he keeps the source to himself, at which point it will be a source of rage and destroy his reputation, but eh.

I'm glad I decided not to log in again.  Looks like it's as much of a shitshow as I expected.

Moderation:
LordLundin, post 151, you went too far, bro. Personal attack deserves a warning.

You have every right to criticize someone. You have no right to personally attack them.

Oh, and because he chooses to keep it closed source is a really shitty reason not to play. It's his choice. I wish it were open source, because I generally do prefer it, but god damn.

four Lines of text... Four lines of text with zero context. this is absolutely a bullshit tactic I've seen used time and time again by people who've fallen afoul of staff across various games, It's not me that's the dick... it's them! What's always missing are the few hundred lines of text where they act like abrasive cunts, slowly backing the member of staff into a corner until they end up snapping back. I don't doubt for a second this is what happened here and why should I? There's zero evidence to prove otherwise, just the same dummy spitting we see from your average banned MUD/MOOer. You can see this playing out in the other thread that seems to be related to this, where Caccio72 attempts to play the part of a poor harmless gamer persecuted by the community wherever he goes. He is then willfully obtuse to the extreme, knowing that it will piss everyone else off and that the mods will obediently step in and start handing out warnings. After warnings are handed out, suddenly the guy goes silent and the cycle repeats again.
Isn't the community failure clause  supposed to take care of this kind of thing here? I'm willing to bet that this is what got his ass slapped on wayfar1444, but he keeps doing the same thing here again and again.

@jayde telling someone off for lying is not a personal attack thanks, warning not accepted. This topic has more stupidity than is good for me.
To everyone that keeps chanting common sense like it's some sort of mantra, you clearly have not read a single thing of what I wrote have you? You have not read anything of what Granny wrote have you? Is it that you do not believe it, or are you simply too dence to understand? I do not care if you play the game or decide to shitpost it or not, but please do not come here and tell me that common sense will save your skin. Granny made a sound pack and helped out with the mud and he still got banned by an admin who calls people faggots and says one thing one moment and acts completely opposite the next.

it's funny, so london is band from another game, more to add to the list including swamp, has to make me wonder about this whole thing.

Just to clarify, I never got banned, I chose to leave because I wasn't happy about the way those bans were executed. To appear to be fine one minute, and switch and nuke 3 players the next minute is unpredictability I really don't want or need from not only an admin, but the head admin and MUD owner.
