Actually for this you should blame Tom Servo and several banned gimmicks, none of which were created by me but some of which were used by me.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 4:56 pm**

My own gimmick is still out there, biding its time, its join date is certainly not 2013 and its post count is certainly not low

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 4:59 pm**

Fixed, had to find a single host on TOR that was within the continental United States.

I have a very appropriate name for this gimmick. You might see it in the Newly Registered area at the bottom. Welcome to our newest member...

Welcome to our newest member, Vulgar Abuse of Power

Vulgar Abuse of Power is also a gimmick of Tom Servo, banned.

And the guests roll in! How you doin', Gal? Still not reading the site, I take it?

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 5:06 pm**

Don't forget with the next gimmick to set the email address to something like sallyadminssuck@gmail.com or whatever, that's always good for a chuckle.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 5:06 pm**

Silly autolink, that's not a real address!

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 5:07 pm**

I forgot how fucking stupid people are in WCT. Like wow.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 5:09 pm**

By the way guys, this is just worth a warning.

I suppose being born in the 70s, and been a municipal Firefighter I'm not so squeemish and I actually know how contamination works. I find your example comical, over the top and filled with hysteria.
<I would probably just tell you about the great blow job my wife gave me on my way over after I shook your hand and patted your kids on the head. Then I would ask your wife if she was a swinger since the both of your are kinky enough to tell me that you guys just boned in the table before dinner.

I might be next inclined to sexual gestures with phallic shaped foods while eyeing the ladies if your family.>
TLDR: Yeah your example is stupid
The indicated section is a little inappropriate for MTGS. Warning. --Senori

But apparently calling
out people for logical fallacies is worth an infraction. Moderation at its finest!

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 5:30 pm**

I mean, what did you want me to blather about? What key points would you like to address? It's just simple logic stuff... if you want to get Gals to talk to you like a real person you just have to realize that he's an improvement-based entity, kind of gets greedy and it can get pretty annoying talking to him sometimes because he wants to see this constant positive change in others while he himself just follows the same base precepts that makes him Gals; nor is it hard to realize that there's stupid, worthless shit going on over there like the way ER talks is a real problem that needs people to think about and summit over; if I'm veiled of meaning that's because I believe the silliness is self-evident. I'm a go-getter type A personality on a website not
built to handle it.

Guy just plays the "Good Cop, Bad Cop" routine and isn't interested inasmuch improving the quality of their management than instead making sure that some of their lower-tier staff remains content and assuaged that the barbarians are being kept at the gate.

It kinda pays out for the simple reason that 90% of the site (minus Market Street) is self-managed for the most and that the quality of the moderation plays a small role in the day-to-day affairs (i.e. noone cares about forum politics).

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 5:35 pm**

I guess its hilarious to see his gimmick-tracking routines with stuff like "I'm 99% sure you are Tom Servo, I only could be 100% sure if I saw you posting next to me, but rest assured that my exceptional gimmick-tracking tools are formal", and then he spends time posting in the mod lounge how Clock King had a bunch of false positives and stuff.

At least I think it was him belittling Clock King.

Clock king is the gimmick finding gid

I just always find it funny that he doesn't have the greatest memory for fine detail (not even saying that as a slight), but he's got, you know, 100% access to this forum with millions of posts so this absolutely huge weave of details to pick and choose from. This makes his entire administration style come across as
basically one big argumentum verbosum.

I guess Feyd was supposed to do the info farming work

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 6:27 pm**

Well we all know that Iridium staff both do and do not farm this site for information on the regular.

I'm waiting for the day that they start plagiarizing our primers and things, that'll be hot.

Oh jeez, I heard this conversation IRL a little while ago:
Person 1: "I'm building deck X."
Person 2: "Does it have red in it?"
Person 1: "Yup."
Person 2: "Then don't get the list from Salvation."
Not even joking.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 6:35 pm**

Can't believe I forgot to post that earlier, I was laughing about it all night.

This is a pretty normal thing. Any player worth their salt knows that the place is a literal cesspool. Shit ideas about.

I can't claim that there aren't a few shiney turds amongst the slew, but they're usually silenced in
pretty grand fashion.

PS: People here say similar things about Starcity, and I tend to agree with them. I think a lot of the best Magic articles written right now are on Quiet Speculation or Legit MTG simply because they aren't trying to please everyone, but rather saying what is true to your average player.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 6:46 pm**

I used to be able to read SC articles to kill time but they're just incredibly awful now, CFB too.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 6:47 pm**

Also how do people like Tormod function in daily life? I don't get it.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 6:48 pm**

CBF's written works have always been awful, but their video content is incredibly good and basically always has been. Specifically Caleb Durward and LSV.

R.I.P.

Vulgar Abuse of Power has been banned for being a troll account.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 6:51 pm**

I think they did that so the watchdog tribunal thread wouldn't be on the front page anymore.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 6:52 pm**

That's a shame, the name was too god damned good.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 6:53 pm**

Who was the ban by? I bet it was by Galsp. He's so fucking mad.

In your appeal thread, you should restrict yourself to only quoting lyrics from songs by the band Tool.

I was seriously considering doing this with Streetlight Manifesto lyrics.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:13 pm**

Also acceptable. I would also accept quotes from Elfen Lied.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:15 pm**

Everyone in this place is unhappy. And since they're unhappy, they're probably looking for someone worse off than they are.

The blonde lead the blind, but now I begin to see,
All the things you missed when you were dismissed,
Because learning always ended at three.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:18 pm**

I take that back I won't stop singing when I'm dead
I'll sing from the great beyond, I will echo in your head
And if you think taking your life will set you free
You've got something to learn, it's called humility
You've got something to learn, it's called humility

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:21 pm**

If we include 99 Songs of Revolution this almost becomes too easy.

I should have known you'd bid me farewell,
There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well,
Now, I know you're not the only starfish in the sea,
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me.

And I think it's gonna be alright,
Yeah, the worst is over now,
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:38 pm**

One down five billion to go. Am I the next in line and do I really wanna know?

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:39 pm**

I haven't listened to much Streetlight Manifesto, thanks for turning me on to that, Alex.
