Haha, Nai pulls out the big guns, squashing a helpdesk argument by signing off with a thinly-veiled threat:

I really don't understand why no one has just put it simply yet in that whole mess. You were infracted because of your history with Rivaltuna. There! Easy!

The thing is that you can't know what I was thinking when I posted that. Was I joking or was I serious? Sure I think a lot of what Tuna says is bull, but you can't know for a fact that I don't consider him knowledgeable about women.

Since there was nothing at all to suggest I was anything but sincere in that post then the infraction is completely arbitrary. Look at it in a vacuum and pretend you have no knowledge of myself or Tuna - is there anything inherently wrong with that post? It only becomes spam if you assume I'm being facetious.

Whatever - I'
ve already gotten my answer there and I certainly don't intend to argue the point further here.

So how 'bout them Jets?

In his mind he probably thought he was squashing it. But you're right - "attempting to squash" is what I should have said.

Now, how long until they trot out the modtext

"Everyone here needs to cool down. Thread locked for 24 hours."

or better still,

"This issue is between E_R and redthirst. Anyone else who posts will be suspended."

solution seeing as Nai's original tactic obviously hasn't had the desired effect? :yes:

Generally they need to be highly polished otherwise it can mess with their automatic tracking.

It's not really a threat. If someone wants to post on a forum like mtgs you literally can not stop them. Staff never have control and they know it. They just desperately need the illusion of control for things to go smoothly.

In other news, one of my bosses has offered me her old house. She's willing to make me a deal that she's not willing to make for anyone else and I would be an idiot not to jump on it. I'm super excited about it and hope it all pans out.

Well that's pretty awesome. Home ownership is an amazing thing, I hope it goes well for you.

Key Lime sugar cookies are disgusting.

My first act upon moving into my house was putting in a hot tub. It worked well for me, I'd definitely suggest you consider it.

And yes, the whole point of key lime pie is the rich texture. Key Lime cookies are an abomination against the laws of God and man.

Dear mr mugambo,

You have received a warning. Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.

Reason: Gimmick of Banned User: Kireek

I might in a few years, but I'm going to have to put a new roof on the garage before I do anything. And I eventually want to build my mom a house on the property if the city will let me, so she might get the hot tub :lol:

Hey look, I went down a stroll in MTGS and they're still savagely beating the corpses of WCT and RLA over the helpdesks.

One has to admire the staff's commitment.

parinoid gets the daily prize for insulting users in the open and voltan gets the second prize for thanking his post.

That's fair, and I certainly don't want to pressure you if you're going to be busy moving into your new house and all, but you might want to look into options on a large lump sum to fund all of this now while interest rates are still in the depression-era toilet. Getting a second mortgage later on is a hyooge hassle.

Anyway, I have to go now - I sadly don't have the time (or will) to do this forever.
And you can always count on Sene for getting the first prize for passive-agressive posting

I find this at the very least offensive, if not outright insulting.

You were infracted for telling a joke in RLA. The rules are quite clear easy to understand in relation to that: Don't Do It.
You relationship with rivaltuna is more than enough to see that you hold nothing but contempt for him, to claim otherwise would be the height of insincerity.

For example:

"even his posts about Magic read like arrogant bragging" clearly demonstrates that you think his non-Magic related posts are at the very least 'like arrogant bragging', if not outright so.
To claim that someone you believe to be a braggart is an appropriate source of information, when your only supporting reason is a source you openly think is him bragging. Well, it's clear that you're either being factious, malicious, or both.

Now my piece is said, I shall take my leave. Any more of this
conversation would infect my brain.

PS: I looked into this just to see how valid your concerns were. During my investigation I stumbled on your clan's thread and might I say that I am absolutely disgusted by the things your clanmates were saying about rivaltuna and the attitude many of them seem to share (yourself included).
For shame! I'd certainly prefer the company of a 'braggart' over people who brew such bile and cowardice as to slander people behind their backs.
When I first saw this I had to re-check if I wasn't confusing Teai with parinoid, but it do was parinoid's handywork this time.

for parinoid, the userbase is like phyrexia, he feels compelled to retreat to his ivory tower to avoid being tainted.

what a team!

The discussion is certainly going well:

Can I flame people like parinoid did without repercussions?
- parinoid didn't flame anyone
No... he clearly did
- I don't have time for this anymore

I thought of that, but it's an impossible argument to make when I can't see or quote the random shit in their thread.
