We had an almost real discussion about the war in the 'rename the imperium thread'. Lots of directors effort posting it was really nice. Atrum, icorion and kendarr, etc. (I know sleepy bees are no longer directors). It was nice to hear different analyses of why and what went wrong. People were talking about what was done wrong, and honestly that gave me more confidence in leadership than anything else that's happened over the last year.

:shobon:

For Kimsemus and Sharkbaitwhatever: I don't know either of you, but permit me to give you some advice. If you want back into GSF--for which you were allegedly banned for creating too much drama--the best means to do so is unlikely to include nailing yourself to a cross on these forums and railing about the injustice of your ban. Here's the thing: you've done a pretty good job explaining why your bans were probably unjustified. Here's the problem: nobody gives a poo poo.

If your goal is truly to join GSF, the justice or injustice of your banning doesn't really matter. This isn't a case of, "If only the other person acknowledges a set of facts, then I win." You're trying to convince another human being to do something, and human beings--Dear Leader included--make most decisions emotionally. To wit: they are far less interested in some bullshit drama in Archeage, and far more interested in how much drama you are likely to cause. The immediate past being a reasonable shortcut to predict the immediate future, their conclusion can lead to only one thing.

If you were serious about rejoining GSF, the best approach would have been to quietly send a note to Dear Leader, explain the situation, and ask if he might reconsider sometime in the future. You don't need to bow or scrape or give verbal fallatio: just approach it like one person asking another person for a favor.

Anyways, good luck!

Kimsemus, Daco has not yet been kicked from GSF. You couldn't manage to hit this goal. Just keep this in mind.

The fact I'm kept around is one of the big reasons I think it's so great. Also why these others want in so much -- it's the best. I hope I don't ever get kicked out. I'll certainly never leave, and besides my horrible awful words I don't really hurt anyone.

There are other goon like groups out there, they are just harder to find and join.

Unless you've pissed off The Mittani directly, you can generally get back in as well. It just takes a bit of persistence and friends in the inner circle helps.

I have some outer circle friends who offered to help and the conversation went something like this:

Friend: You left horde?
Zeph: Right. It wasn't the place for me.
Friend: You should join GSF
Zeph: I had hoped to but I'm not sure I'd be let back in
Friend: Nonsense. I'll talk to some people and we will work it out. No problem.
...
...
...
Friend: Oh god. Oh dear god no. Oh wow. Eh... Have you considered Snuffbox?

Slight dramatization but that was the gist of it. I wonder what he heard...

My heart goes out to all the purged goons, fairweather goons and otherwise fallen goons. It'd be nice if we could all just be friends. But that poo poo falls outside my box, and I recall a time where people only knew when they stepped over a line by if they got unceremoniously purged or not. See talon Bristi, see enigma77 or whatever, see that sadsack that sponsored his scam victim, or half a dozen other casualties from the 2013-2014 era. I don't believe my contributions, leadership or directorship have at all insulated or protected me from getting :commissar: if I gently caress up bad enough.

But I kind of miss that era where the only indication you hosed up was your head rolling across the ground.

Yeah it's whatever. Oh boo hoo I can't post on our dead forums for three more days. Putting me on RO is probably cathartic to him -- even REO Xenuriawagon talks poo poo about how fangless he is on Imp discord (I seent it dot jpg and yes I told him to shut the gently caress up but I saw it a little bit after it was said.)

When I wanted Deadtear to get his modship back I knew that getting my wish would mean lots of read onlys for me. A bargain at twice the price to me if he modded the way we all thought he would when he returned.

Thing is -- he hasn't. He's not even in elysium. He left early on because he couldn't kick xen and the art of uria maintenance repeatedly. They're handling him and he's being way more restrained than I think he would be otherwise, generally speaking. Not to me personally, but I'm stfupaco.

yeah but you gotta admit that you hand out a lot less ROs than you bet people expected you would upon returning.

modding is a thankless job. Just... throw down more ROs. The dank meme poster and the guy who says "dank memes itt." Marksalot's a bro he wouldn't care about one. ROs make goons feel goony. Unleash the withered hand of justice upon all, not just the low hanging fruit (dacocodo?) Use it as a teaching tool for more who walk the path of the goon.
