BlackoutRO Review.

[Anxiety]

In regards to your signature, I really do agree with you. Trust can go both ways, the way to determine which is and right and which is wrong, falls under what I had previously mentioned "Unique Servers, follow unique standards". People tend to lie to their teeth, just to get what they want. You can believe in whoever you want, but until you're in my position, your words are nothing but from a troll.

P.S I'm an administrator, not some "staffer". Something you should dig into, before claiming to know or rather "self-proclaim" there are better servers. Try reading the staff page. I'll leave it at that.

"Cheers".

Anxiety,

I'm glad that you finally acknowledged your own problem. Once again, your reading/comprehension skills (or seemingly lack thereof) simply baffles me. Where exactly have I even "proclaimed" that there are better servers out there? Please, if you want to put turkey stuffing in my mouth, do it right. Right now, you're trying to stuff the air.

Now, let me get this straight, if you're GM-Anxiety, then this is what I read.

Bellow are Blackout RO administration and staff list.

Administration

    * Blackout -
      Position: Server administrator, founder, developer.
      Location: New York, United States.
      Timezone: GMT -5:00.

Development

    * KillerBox -
      Position: Developer and scripter.
      Location: Undisclosed.
      Timezone: GMT -5:00.
    * Riotblade -
      Position: Developer and scripter.
      Location: California, United States.
      Timezone: GMT -8:00.

Management

    * GM-Anxiety -
      Position: Support game master and public relations.
      Location: Alberta, Canada.
      Timezone: GMT -7:00.
    * GM-Biddy -
      Position: Bot hunting and support game master.
      Location: Finland
      Timezone: GMT +2:00.

That's not an administrative position. Would you like me to fetch you a dictionary, or are you "self-proclaiming" that you are in the administration limelight now? Or even better, are you telling me that you're suddenly called "Blackout" now? You're in the management section. That's what I'm reading right now, and you certainly ain't under the "Administration" (If you can call it that) section. Funny, you don't even know your own staff page. Pity.

And for the love of God, you ain't that great to make me want to even be in your position, so I'll pass. I certainly don't want to be someone who can't seem to read, who assumes that only banned people write negative reviews, and one who does not even know the difference between Management and Administration (This is if you are GM-Anxiety) and one who attempts to subtly threaten people under the guise of a "good public relations officer".

Get over yourself.

Cheers.
P.S., You're a staffer. Swing it 50 ways, you're still a staffer.

[Poobey]

Actually allow me again to step in.

Anxiety was fired shortly thereafter then re-elected to a high admin position. He is what he calls 'Special Relations'.

Administrators Blackout ( Level : Administrator ) [ Tom ] - The big kahuna. Calls the shots. Developers     * Riotblade ( Level : Developer )     * Killerbox ( Level : Developer ) Head Staffs     * GM-Anxiety ( Special Relations ) (Level : 98 )     * GM-Biddy ( Player Support ) ( Level : 98 )     * GM-Shumei ( Public Relations ) ( Level : 98 ) Blackout Staff Team Trainee Gamemasters     * GM-Nonoriri ( Player Support ) ( Level : 60 )     * GM-Yuyuko ( Player Support ) ( Level : 60 )     * GM-Lavern ( Player Support ) ( Level: 60 )     * GM-Kaneshir0 ( Player Support ) ( Level : 60 )     * GM-Touhou ( Player Support ) ( Level : 60 )     * GM-redcar ( Player Support ) ( Level : 60 )

Head Staff is really Administration, sorry if it seems confusing. He's the token bad cop, and thrives the more he's hated.

Poobey,

With all their almighty workforce, someone could have at least changed the staff page no? (Or are they busy counting the $$$, oops, sorry, typo with the symbols again, really) I mean, why haven't they updated the staff page, is it -that- hard to update a webpage?

To me, my definition of an administrator is someone who has root access. You can slap whatever label you want on the position, King of the Cosmos, A Freaking Overlord, The Mighty Cojones, etc, it doesn't matter, if you do not have root access, you're just a staffer. Only if you have root access are you really an "administrator". So the question then is whether Anxiety has root access, if he/she doesn't, then he/she is still just a staffer. He/she can swing it 50 million ways in my face, he/she is still a staffer. So, what say you, the great Anxiety? (From the looks of it though, you're really just a Level 98 <Insert random superior sound adjective here> GM).

Good day.

Please if you want to argue over a server you've read about with a 'Staffer' as you so call it, go do so through PMs. Flaming back and forth is not allowed (as I am told) and I would like to keep this thread open for other comments. Please discuss privately.

And the reason the front website isn't as up to date is because the Head is lazy, and most use the forums more than they would visit the website. Basically, the forum announcements are posted on the CP and the Patcher as well, and the website is just a cover for it all. I took that off of the CP, and it is also found on a forum thread as well as the patcher's news.  (I mean the Staff Thing)

And to note, I omitted some of it, like the Ventrilo admins and the Removed GMs. (<- I counted 21 removed.)

Poobey,

You have my apologies. No further posts from me in this thread. I do not wish this topic to be closed as well. I just got ticked off by GM's threatening other people, even if it is a subtle one.

Cheers.

 Change your attitude towards how you are permitted to treat other players, be respectful, avoid fighting, and don't flame.

As a note, this warn is not for this single post, it is for a collection of posts in several topics recently.

[Descent]

People tend to have their preferences, although it might be of unimportance to you, those who didn't enjoy your time, many of the players on Blackout seem to have spent a large amount of time enjoying our server, instead of being "quick-to-judge".

Yes, I'm indeed a "Staffer" from Blackout ( The infamous one at that ), but what difference does it make if I had made an anonymous account just to try and save face for my server? Let-alone insult it from afar, with no grounds of why I might possibly store such anger. To those of you who replied here, proclaiming you've played, please don't give me that. You haven't played until you've known the staff team or have some examples as to why it's bad. That's what separates you, from the reviewer Poobey. A legitimate review.

I might not be as lenient as Blackout my administrator, when it comes to discussing these types of affairs, but I sure as hell, have a back-bone regarding when and where, I need to be.

Unique servers, follow unique standards. Perhaps people like "bad-servers" that's why they quit, and find themselves back in a short period of time. I came from a server with a rather tyrant administrator, but he was partnered up with some of the greatest staff team, to-date. Although a low-rate, where things such as items, leveling, player-vs-player deems more important than any high-rate, because of time effort, being strict is probably required. I've taken that into consideration after becoming a staff member of the Blackout Community, with the help of my young prodigy boss, and possibly the best player-relations you've got to offer.

Enough of my boring story though, if you would like perhaps, you should form a legitimate review, and then I'll gladly comply with it just as the way I tried to save face, a few posts ago.

You, my friend, have nothing to comply with. This is their opinion, it happens to be a majority opinion related to your server. All you can do is deal with it. This is a legitimate review, be it negative or not. Not your call to make and never will be.

lets see, i just have to ask why poison wolf resorts to flaming, while Poobey and Anxiety at least manage to keep at least some what civil on their parts


poison wolf, your back on warn status for the way you've been behaving recently, so as they say, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all
oh and no ones keeping you here so i don't really see how your signature makes any sense now.

JJJ,

I see, some what civil. I guess some-what means it's a judgment call on your end, isn't it? And we all know just how gifted you are when it comes to judgment calls (E.g. here vs here).

Hmm,

Strong words, coming from someone who wouldn't even consider giving us a glimpse or hint as to who you are, and what "wrong" you've committed to even be so hostile towards the server. If it wasn't so, this "review" wouldn't look so much as of a simple spite of hatred, for being banned for doing "wrong".

So subtle threats are fine so long as you're not on JJJ's blacklist. Check.

In regards to your signature, I really do agree with you.

Indirect insults are fine so long as you're not on JJJ's blacklist (At least I have the guts to be direct about it). Check.

Fending for a fellow RMS-person who was insulted/flamed on by Serenity by pointing out the obvious flaws in their arguments is not allowed so long as you are on JJJ's blacklist (Due to the inefficiency of updating the guidelines, gee, I wonder who's to blame on this account?). Check.

-------------

Good job JJJ, you never fail to amuse me with your superficiality and your bollocks. Exercise your metaphorical twig of power and keep up the Academic-Award Level of Awesomeness (See what I did there, AAA). Okay JJJ, you can quit with the attempts at proper grammar and go back to your <3 / ^^; / ^^ self now.

Good day.

[You]

JJJ you are quite literally the worst goddamn mod I have ever seen on a forum.

lots of luv <3

PS this is the nicest thing I have to say to you so i said it

JJJ,

I see, some what civil. I guess some-what means it's a judgment call on your end, isn't it? And we all know just how gifted you are when it comes to judgment calls (E.g. here vs here).

Your comparing two topics, one is 618 characters long, while the other is 428, one is more then double what is provided on the main site, one is only about 100 characters longer then what is provided on the main site.

So subtle threats are fine so long as you're not on JJJ's blacklist. Check.

If I may so repeat my self, I did say they only remained some what civil. Now since you wish to make a huge deal about this on these forums sure, I don't really care anyway, here's the difference.

You seem to stroke your little boss' back rather often. Do you link him to all your posts to score more brownie points?

I see. You have a back-bone, but is it already broken in 50 different places?

Once again, your reading/comprehension skills (or seemingly lack thereof) simply baffles me.

Please, if you want to put turkey stuffing in my mouth, do it right. Right now, you're trying to stuff the air.

Would you like me to fetch you a dictionary, or are you "self-proclaiming" that you are in the administration limelight now?

I certainly don't want to be someone who can't seem to read

and one who does not even know the difference between Management and Administration (This is if you are GM-Anxiety) and one who attempts to subtly threaten people under the guise of a "good public relations officer".

Please, watch your tongue. Who do you think you are, some police officer around these parts of the internet?

Talent != Maturity/Wisdom.

As for threats, as in all forums there has to be a slight tolerance towards flaming and trolling, you passed that tolerance level extremely fast, thus there's really very little left for you. If you think of it like real life, if you commit a crime you get a criminal record, and each time you break the rules again they bring up that record. Oh, and before you say real life crime doesn't equal something like the forum rules, the laws in real life are simply rules, just like the laws on Rate My Server, are simply rules.

Again, refer to this: "As for threats, as in all forums there has to be a slight tolerance towards flaming and trolling, you passed that tolerance level extremely fast, thus there's really very little left for you.

There's never a justification for flaming, no matter how hard you tr you simply can't justify insulting someone back. It would be like saying "He punched me in the face so in self defense I shot him"

JJJ you are quite literally the worst goddamn mod I have ever seen on a forum.

lots of luv <3

PS this is the nicest thing I have to say to you so i said it

If you don't like me, who says you have to stick around?

[PoisonWolf]

JJJ,

I'm so touched. You actually took the effort to use Microsoft Word to help you type properly. And it's all for me. <3<3<3<3<3.
How long did it take for you to type this up? I'm so touched that you needed so much time just to prove your e-testes to me.

Your comparing two topics, one is 618 characters long, while the other is 428, one is more then double what is provided on the main site, one is only about 100 characters longer then what is provided on the main site.

Wow, you think 100 ~ 300 characters makes a different in regards to a review of that level? Bravo and good call. +1 point.

Oh, and before you say real life crime doesn't equal something like the forum rules, the laws in real life are simply rules, just like the laws on Rate My Server, are simply rules.

Man, you need a life if you think Forum Rules = Real Life Laws. You know what the difference is between people who administer judgment on real life laws vs internet forum laws? The real life person is a judge who has spent years in training, learning how to discern between facts and biases, and you're just a baker with a fetish for kawaiism (Yes, this is a new word ladies and gents) who can't seem to even walk a straight line when it comes to your judgments.

There's never a justification for flaming, no matter how hard you tr you simply can't justify insulting someone back. It would be like saying "He punched me in the face so in self defense I shot him"

Your analogy is as accurate as a blind man's attempt to shoot a moving target. You respond to a flame with a flame, it cannot go much deeper than that on the internet forums, so how is "shooting" even a viable analogy in this example? Go buy a book on analogies if you want to try to even sound somewhat smart. You'd want to have said "He punched me in the face, so I punched him back". In this case, what do you think would happen if I punched you in the face? Are you just going to stand there and gladly take it? (I am bringing this up since you seem to love to compare the forums to real life). Cause if you literally are just going to stand there and take it, boy oh boy...

Lastly, do you know what the difference is between the words: insult, flaming, and sarcasm (based on the examples of my sentences you pulled out)? You clearly can't seem to discern the differences between the three. But apparently, you're too busy baking cakes and being mysterious about your gender to want to know these things, right?

Go ahead, lock the topic, prove just how much you love your power trips. That's how awesome you are as a moderator anyway.

If you don't like me, who says you have to stick around?

Like I've said to Anxiety, I'll say it to you. Get over yourself. You ain't worth that much to be deemed as the only factor that's worth sticking around for.

Good day.

The reason you stated they should be removed was due to their lack of lengths. The content isn't as much of a concern seeing as they both had roughly the same type of content.

As for threats, as in all forums there has to be a slight tolerance towards flaming and trolling, you passed that tolerance level extremely fast, thus there's really very little left for you. If you think of it like real life, if you commit a crime you get a criminal record, and each time you break the rules again they bring up that record.

I've spent enough time around Karei and yC to know how the political word manipulation game works. The whole reason behind the metaphor was simply, you use your metaphors so I thought it would have been easier for you to understand it if I used one, guess I was wrong so I'll explain it again then.

A single act gets you a single warn, that warn doesn't simply vanish, it is logged and looked back upon when you make a second offense, nothing you say goes away, everything is logged and brought back up when needed.

There's never a justification for flaming, no matter how hard you tr you simply can't justify insulting someone back. It would be like saying "He punched me in the face so in self defense I shot him"

Your analogy is as accurate as a blind man's attempt to shoot a moving target.

(I am bringing this up since you seem to love to compare the forums to real life). Cause if you literally are just going to stand there and take it, boy oh boy...

Again I guess I was wrong when I thought you would understand metaphors more then you would understand real words. You don't flame back when flamed, all that results is both of you get a warn, when flamed you report it and let things take a normal course, but since you chose to flame back you also chose to accept your punishment.

Lastly, do you know what the difference is between insult, flaming, and sarcasm (based on the examples of my sentences you pulled out)? You clearly can't seem to discern the differences between the three. But apparently, you're too busy baking cakes and being mysterious about your gender to want to know these things, right?

Go ahead, lock the topic, prove just how much you love your power trips. That's how awesome you are as a moderator anyway.

Good day.

Again, I've played the word manipulation game enough with Karei and yC, and I believe I've said this before, no matter the context, no matter the literacy rate, no matter how profound, an insult is nothing more then an insult.



Anyway, seeing as how you asked this to be closed I'll assume that means your out of come backs and insults, so I'll go ahead and close this, if you wish to continue go ahead and Message me, we can continue this game all day if you want. Either way this topic was taken out of hand, so it probably should have been closed earlier.
