The reasoning behind a lot of the mod action in that forum has me going :psyduck:

Bluegeek in particular has confirmed what has always been suspected: he probably considers himself more android that human, given his complete lack of humor, comprehension of nuance or subtlety, and his rigid, almost insane enforcement of the "trolling" rule.

And now he's being trolled by CrapticCryptic for making "homophobic" remarks.

Sopwithsnipe amuses me. He's been beating his chest throughout that whole thread about TOS violations and how people need to be punished for violating them and there he is naming and shaming Dental on page 15. Had to laugh at the irony as I was flagging his post.

Edit: There's been a fair amount of Nbreeki/Dental naming/shaming/bashing in that thread. Time to go through and start reporting.

The Lt.Com universal makes things a bit more interesting, I guess? But yeah I can't really see why you'd want one if you already have one of the half dozen other T6 battlecruisers. I guess the 5/3 weapon slots and an intel seat if you're too cheap for a Sheshar I guess. :geno:

Also the romulan one's a 4/3 escort like the Mogai, whelp.

I'm wondering about this myself. I CAN post in the forums, but I do not think my posts are visible by other forum members. I think perhaps those who have been previously banned are shadowbanned in the new forums. I've been testing this theory by making increasingly belligerent posts targeting Sopwithsnipe, because he can never stop himself from responding, especially to a direct call-out. He hasn't taken the bait, nor has any other poster, over several pages, so I think it's safe to say that formerly banned players are still unable to directly communicate with others on the forums.

Yeah, didn't think so. The last post I made was "Thank you for your service, SOP, but you're a goddamn idiot." If he didn't respond to that within seconds, probably didn't show up. Him and Jon were trying to bring their military experience into the "someone danced too close to my toon" thread so o figured that would set him off.

While I do find some sense of closure at the way Trendy handled the thread, deep down I'm a little disappointed that the banned pubbie wasn't sop. Still, tekhd is a major forums sperg and I wish I could see the angry e-mails and tickets he will inevitably blast off to Cryptic/PWE/fake internet lawyer/FBI.

I thought at first we were going to help building the timeship via the holding, but now that I look at it, it is part of the station.

the thing at the bottom is the time cannon on Annorax's ship. Makes no sense.

Asset recycling is canon. That's why the deflector dish is also a magical space cannon that can fire literally anything (apart from actual cannonballs).

Anyone check out Xean's latest thread on the forums? Link: http://perfectworld.vanillaforums.com/discussion/1191845/x#latest

He's trying to have other people write a complete guide to STO for him so he can take the credit for making the lovely OP that started it all. The first (and only) response to his thread is perfect:

quote:

The title of this post looks like it was taken straight from someones LiveJournal page.

Here is the chapter list he created so everyone can spend hours writing guides so he can slap it all together in a few minutes and call it his.

Xtern1ty posted:

The book will be divided into the following chapters, they can be modified or added as needed:


★ Chapters

1) Installation- this part will deal with technical requirements and guide the player through installation.
2) Membership, Factions, Careers & Characters- differences in membership levels, how to become a lifetime member; info to guide a player on faction and career selection, through how to create, model and style a character.
3) Leveling- will include leveling methods and rank info.
4) Builds- what they do and how to get it right.
5) Skills- their purpose and guides on their effective use.
6) Specialization- info about spec points and how to put the abilities to use to the player's advantage.
7) Bridge officers- abilities, how they work and how to apply them effectively.
8) Duty officers- how to get 'em, use 'em, make the most out of 'em and dump 'em.
9) Missions: Episodes & STF's- info on each and guides for doing them properly.
10) Reputation- how to upgrade, gear and ability info and how to use them.
11) Currency: EC, Dilithium & Lobi- how to make them and not go broke.
12) Research & Development- leveling schools, how and where to find R&D materials, how to craft good stuff and what it takes.
13) Fleets- guides on marks, credits and how to build one through to Tier 5.
14) Exploration- destination guides, sector space, systems, what to look for and where you find it.
15) Appendix- Because it takes all that to get to the operating room. Nurse, pass the scalpel please. These Easter eggs need to be opened very carefully.

I'm not sure if he's been around to realise any guide about STO has to be thoroughly updated every few months. Almost like a wiki or sorts. Too bad we don't have any of those to reference.

"Aron Eisenberg will be navigating the latest Featured Episode: Time in a Bottle. LaughingTrendy and Captain Geko will be joining Aron Eisenberg as he deals with Nausicaans, Heralds, and even himself!"


I hope someone from Cryptic runs him through the basics of the game.
