So, what's say dental, or maybe NoP since pubbies like NoP, start a foundry contest for "T for Teen" rated heartwarming gay love stories. I'm in for 150m EC prize money.


Sounds like a great mission. I'll match the 150m EC

"Its OK to be Gay" as a title for the contest?

Should fit trendy's #gaymetrics thing in there.

promo ship for the grand prize, 150m prizes for two honorable metions?

Should we wait until the outcome of bluegeek's suspension/investigation?

Just got permabanned from the forums for agreeing with Trendy's decision to probate Bluegeek. So perhaps this contest should not be advertised on the forums.

So don't link it to the Bluegeek controversy, would Cryptic shut down a contest simply celebrating LGBT diversity?

If we announced it now? Probably. I think they'd see through it. In a couple of weeks after three of four other outrages have softened the memory of Bluegeek? Maybe not. If you really want to stack the deck against Cryptic taking action, get an LGBT fleet or two to endorse it. Getting it mentioned by outside sources might also tie Cryptic's hands a bit.

And seeing as we're speaking about the contest... I had assumed that a goon would be writing the episode and claiming the prizes. It didn't occur to me that it would be opened up to all of STO. Not that I have a problem with that, I'll still toss the 150m ec in the kitty.

You know, there is a strange race called the Duggar, that has yet to be actually contacted by intelligent life, prime directive and that, however, I recall some of the people higher up in sf freaking out at some of their cultural practices, perhaps this can be the ground for an interesting trekkie-duggar chomo beatdown?

Welp, Fifty Shades of Blue is now in the publishing queue. It turns out Foundry is pretty bloody easy to learn.

It's a short mission in which you travel to Andoria to unravel a small dispute with some big social implications. Also you blow up a spaceship.

How long do these things usually take to publish?

What can they do about it? It's not like it's illegal to look through data files and they've already made it an infraction to talk about on the forums.

IQ's idiots for sharing it though. All that does it actually make Cryptic try to hide stuff better. Or well, it would if Cryptic were competent anyway. :effort:

Fourxgamer is a gigantic sperg who has posted numerous anti-dental poo poo in the past. I have to assume he'll get banned for this, along with Seaofsorrows (another "anti-dental") and probably forum favorite Virusdancer, who made a similarly vitriolic post calling for Trendy's head over Bluegeek's probation. This whole Bluegeek thing is doing wonders for the forums by removing many of the worst spergs.

Xean weighed in and was quick to compare this to the persecution he believes he suffered.


xtern1ty;24124741 posted:

[COLOR="LemonChiffon"]So this is what they meant when they said something would happen if a certain mod's head didn't roll come Monday... trolls and flamers are as vile a menace as can be and this incident only underscores why I encourage measures for their reduction. Now let's get to the facts:[/COLOR]




[COLOR="LemonChiffon"]- I did a full search and Morrigan is her work account.

- Knowing the atmosphere of the forums lately and comparing it to the date on her post, the photo's a deliberate humorous jab at the House Pegh issue and the LBGT issue it stirred.

- If you believe mods including Trendy have not judged based on ToS, provide proof, else your presumptions are invalid. [/COLOR]




[COLOR="LemonChiffon"]- Not everyone is always 100% responsible with powers given them. In the cutthroat nature of this world, there is no shortage of people waiting for the slightest hint of an opportunity to bring someone down. That's part of the dark world of trolling.

Resignation? If you think that's a joke, wait till you know how much effort trolls put into their not-so-funny schemes. Where have I seen this tactic before? Last time they tried these tricks now being used on Trendy was last year and I was their target.

Remember the months of verbal warfare on Zone that caused? They tried public shaming me, death threats, harassing me in gangs every time I got on, making multiple fakes of me and our fleet, attacking a female friend of mine with reference to rapine in order to get to me on youtube, infiltrating and taking away my fleet and channel + virtually every dirty cheating trick you can think of. Unlike Trendy, I fought with no powers and outnumbered often alone, yet I used my wits, documented their methods, experimented with them, figured their strengths and weaknesses. By the time it was over they had not only shown their true colors for all to see, but garnered multiple forum moderations, got kicked en masse, thoroughly failed forcing me to quit and lost over $500 worth of dil for good measure in my fleet. But if they want someone to blame, they need look no farther than themselves. Their actions wrote their story, I just did a little acting, sat back and let it happen. For those of you who don't get it, that's what Trendy's doing here. Notice not her nor any mods have even edited a single post.

She's not just being smart by showing restraint, she's letting trolls and this issue burn itself out by deliberately stoking the fire from the sidelines so to speak with the pic until the subject is consumed. When it's done, thread will close, become history.

If she's lucky, she might even catch a troll or two. The worms are wiggling on the hook, anyone feel like a fish yet?[/COLOR]



[COLOR="LemonChiffon"]- [COLOR="Yellow"]Whether people are offended or not depends on how emotionally involved they are with their beliefs. [/COLOR]If we are talking about being insensitive yes, Trendy for prodding the issue further with that pic, you for bringing it up for whatever excuse you prefer using, and numerous players on this thread with their snotty responses have not been wise in that regard. And if we're talking about being unwise, you can include me in there for wasting my time here where I gain no benefit explaining the birds and bees our human behavior which for all our progress, we struggle to accept. And that applies to you same as anyone else.[/COLOR]




[COLOR="LemonChiffon"]- Everything is a chain reaction, it is up our own individual understanding to know when to put the brakes. For example, this is where I follow my own advice, turn off the engine and get back to STO.[/COLOR]

The only death threat Xean will ever see in his entire shut in life will be his own suicide note.

Fortunately he's too narcissistic to ever blame himself for his own failings so that won't ever happen.

Xean if you're reading this because you love hearing about yourself: you're a dickhead and that's all you'll ever be. Nobody actually cares about you except as someone (something) to laugh at. Not the good kind of laughing either.

Xean weighing in is priceless. God this cannot get any better. This is the forums meltdown I have been waiting for going on three years now, and all it took was a vaguely lesbian Klingon couple in a lovely FE to start it all.

On that note, Trendy posted this on twitter, just after closing the latest thread:

https://mobile.twitter.com/LaughingTrendy/status/605747118507048961

Not going to speculate what this means, but judging from her other tweets made in the last 16 hours, she seems so incredibly disgusted with the STO player base (rightfully so) that I'm interested to see if this will lead to a temporary vacation from the forums, something more permanent, a mass banning, or what.
