Merry Christmas, Star Trek goons.

What is the most Christmas appropriate Star Trek episode?

I am thinking DS9 episode In The Cards.

Not only has Olivia's fake image been removed as his forum avatar, apparently he's been spamming Gecko with #TROLLGATE nonsense and got himself put on ignore. He decided to "go above Gecko's head" and write an e-mail to Cryptic.

"olivia211' posted:

Below is a copy of an email I sent to Cryptic Studios CEO Jack Emmert. This was written shortly after Al Rivera placed me on ignore because I was sending him information about #Trollgate on Twitter. Yeah, he really ignored me. So did Trevor, possibly at the direction of Al. He gave me no choice so I had to go over his head. I don’t know if this will even matter, but at least if I am gonna go down, I will go down fighting.

The letter is long, rambling, and incoherent, so I'm not going to post it all here. If you want (for whatever reason) to see it, it's up on stolivia.com

I'll just leave you with this:

quote:

I am writing to you because Mr. Rivera has made it clear he has no interest in hearing from me. It is also obvious that the GMs are not taking their job seriously as trolls are becoming rampant in the game; harassing players, running off new ones, and destroying reputations. They know nothing will happen to them which is why they keep right on doing this. At first, I thought about contacting CBS. Then I figured it would be better to keep things in house so I am seeking you out to see if anything at all can be done.

"My" appears 16 times.
"myself" appears four time.

That's very surprising, as I've always understood that Olivia, STO's fountain of altruism, thinks only of others -- the needy, the newbies. I wonder how many references to people -- and by people I mean trolling victims -- he makes in that letter.

Yeah, I certainly hope not. I tried to contact the community mods several different times and ways and each time they cut off all communication upon learning my affiliation with goons. Not like they shot me down or declined to help/comment, but just started ignoring me. Way to be professional and do your job, community team.

Anyway, thread is here, please don't get it shut down. And feel free to spread the word in the NoPPS thread and/or NoPPS itself.

Oh, also specific time is Saturday, January 3rd at 3pm PST (23:00GMT). Should make it afternoon for americas, night for europe, and sunday morning for aussies.

The mods are particularly keen on warning/suspending goons at the moment. I just came off a week ban for "trolling" after criticizing Smirk for suggesting that empty queues are the result of a bug and not a lack of player interest/patience.

Think it's best if rail, grim, and I refrain from posting in the thread period. Aleth and Preechr are probably fine.

To add to what Nbreeki said it's not just goons that the mods have been a bit ban-happy with, just anyone in general who is making GBS threads stuff up. If people start coming in to the thread and throwing anti-dental poo poo everywhere don't bite, just PM askray and bluegeek with a link to the offending post and let them deal with it lest you earn a thrashing and/or get the thread locked. Speaking of which I've already reported Grimrak so he should be getting banned pretty soon!

He loves comments on his site especially since you can name yourself anything like Olivia211.

There's something especially sad about changing comments to be on par with "I'm a big poopie head" instead of just deleting them. I wasn't sure about this game with all the talk of its current state, but maybe I'll go on safari just to see Olivia and co in the wild.

Agreed. The thing I don't understand is why he changed my follow up comments but left my 1st .

Well have been in contact with an awful metal band named trollgate and have supplied them with a prepaid legalzoom account to file a cease and desist order to stolivia.com for improper use of their name.
