Was this really necessary to post on RMS forums? This is something all Admins deal with at some point or another. This seems more like a petty attempt to get back at the GM out of spite. Also, coming from "Cawlin", AKA Funsized is rather amusing, seeing as how you're blacklisted for this very same thing, in addition to corruption. Not to say the GM in question is the perfect candidate for such a position, but this thread should certainly be taken with a grain of salt, given the history of the Admin and how he runs his servers. Though, it seems no one really realizes it what with the fake name and all. Don't get me wrong, he could be a totally different person, and this post is not meant to troll anyone, including him. Honestly, I'd just like to get a little clarity out there just in case the majority, as it already seems, does not realize who Cawliflower really is. Of course those who haven't actually worked with him would not realize that "Robert" is from Texas, so is Colin/Funsized/Skinnyboy. "Robert" has a female Chief GM who is also from Texas. Anyone seeing any resemblances yet? Any Mod or person who previously has known Colin by his blacklisted aliases could verify this as well as his friend that not only has he gone by the name Cawlin but that he lived in Texas as well.
So the entire point of this response is not to throw Cawliflower under the bus, so to speak, but rather let everyone know that they should not condemn someone just from the word of a previously condemned trouble maker. Though I can admit that the evidence here is undeniable, I'd really like to hear from those in question, including the player, if at all possible, and I should think that most others would as well. True, this guy's responses to his ban/fire were inappropriate, and I personally would not hire him for any position based on this evidence, that's not to say that he wasn't, in some way, provoked by either the player or the team. Why block his contact privileges? All I see here being the reason why, is
But why? Not to mention, all the proof I see inside of the screenshots show me nothing other than an irate response which, while inappropriate, I would also be a bit irked if my contact privileges with my friends were revoked. So I ask again, why would you revoke them? I'd say there should be a reason to if you did, and that certainly was not posted here, showing only an irate GM being fired to the people as opposed to why he was pissed off. On top of that, the in-game screenshots only show him admitting guilt and him agreeing to your terms. Nowhere here do I actually see any proof telling me that he was a bad candidate other than his inappropriate response to the ban. So I say again, until I believe any of this, I think either solid proof should be provided or both parties step up to the plate to explain the situation.
Like I said. The only reason to this post is just to give light to the RMS community that this topic is almost certainly the pot calling the kettle black.
I'm surprised somebody actually saw it from my point of view. Also, I'm surprised to hear this person's back story, as everything you mentioned sounds exactly like him. he does have a female "Chief GM" (Although he calls it Assistant Administrator)
While I may not have taken screenshots to disprove most of the things he's said, I didn't feel it necessary, as I didn't expect him to act like a big baby and take this to RMS forums.
Anyways; my side of the story; believe it if you wish...
I had gotten into a pretty heavy debate over trans classes with one of the players on my legit account. Nothing EVER at ANY point turned vulgar from either of us, I respected the player and he respected me. We were actually friends, but something was probably bothering him lately. I don't know. Either way, other players found our chat irritating, and said person I was debating with decided to post his share on the server forums, out of anger. This is when said admin got involved. He proceeded to recall all of the GMs, and ask what had happened. I gave my side of the story, and another GM who was with me the entire time did as well. The other GM said I should have stopped debating with said player, and I should have, but he also came to my defense saying I didn't really do anything wrong besides that. Then, I get belittled and told how delusional I am for thinking I was right in any of my arguments, and how I clearly don't know how to read, because I didn't abide by his "rules" (Which you notice, he never posted his server rules, and if you read them you'll see that I deserved no infraction, as the rules state to not be vulgar or demeaning towards players, and again, that never once happened.) (Then again, should he come back to reply to this, he will no doubt change the rules to favor himself).
So anyways, after being insulted by the admin for awhile, I'm let away with a warning. People wanted to know what happened, and all I told them was I was probably going to get fired, as that is how it seemed from his reaction. I then wanted to quit the server as I could tell the admin was starting to dislike me for "drama" I'm causing (which would have easily went away within a few hours had he left things alone, I would have apologized to the player and maybe even hunt something for him in return). Point is, I loved that server for the community. Every player on there felt like a close friend, even if I barely knew them. They liked me too, and were worried that I was going to get fired, and didn't want me to leave. Anyways, the admin brings me to jail, tells me how wrong I'm doing things, starts insulting me some more saying "Can you not read?" "You're never right" etc; and fires me over broadcast. I ask that he let me go from jail so that I can give my items to the community that helped me so much. He did let me go, after talking my ear off again. This is when things get worse. As I'm giving my items away to players, most of them are upset by the announcement, and start going to the admin. The admin then comes back to town where I'm giving my things away, and gives me some little message along the lines of "Don't even think about going to RMS with this". I told him to get over himself, as I'm not that type of person. Of course, I'm banned for that remark. I then make my way over to the forums quickly, and post a "Goodbye" topic with nothing inside but my skype contact info. I check back around 5 minutes later, and my contact info was bleeped out (Like this; *********) and he closed and hid the topic with the statement "This is only meant to start drama. Removed." I got REALLY angry at that point, because I loved the people on that server, and they had no way of contacting me anymore. Ever. I did send him that nasty message, but he had absolutely no right to bleep out my contact info. If he really wanted no drama to start, he could have closed the topic and left it at that. But no, he took things a little too far.
Anyways, that's my piece of the story, sure, I made some mistakes, and I even admitted to them. He still kept belittling me though, which he conveniently left out to make himself look better. No, this "Derp" is not me, I had no idea of "Cawliflowers" past, or even who he truly was. I don't keep tabs on RMS drama, or other related crap. Hence why it took me so long just to find this topic.
That's what you get for allowing legit characters. Don't allow them and you will get rid of that crap and 50% of all corruption accusations. In the long run, legit characters for staff just aren't worth it.
Funny story, when I applied to be a GM on his server, and these are my personal beliefs, I applied to be a GM only, as I felt having a legit would screw up things. I've seen that kind of stuff happen before. (And gee, look what happened now!) But he literally kept insisting over MSN that I play his server legitly. So whatever. He set himself up for destruction.
Anyways, with that off my chest, hopefully people don't see this as a one-sided thing. I was practically calm and collected through the entire situation, until the very end, which I mentioned. He kept egging things on, even when I didn't want them to be. I had hoped to avoid coming to RMS to deal with these silly little problems, but I guess he just had to defame my character a little to make himself feel better or something.
