Good evening,
As many of you know from conversations on IRC and Teamspeak, March is to be the month of the purge. This has been likened to the movie "The Purge" and bears many similarities except only I get to kill everyone. I am tired with the flagrant rule breaking, insulting, trolling, queue skipping, interrupting refills, bullying etc etc etc that has been going on. I will therefore be clearing out the undesirables from the NordInvasion community. It really is not difficult to be nice and just play this game and enjoy yourself. In the first year of NordInvasion it was a rarity that we banned players, such a rarity that we knew the name and reason of every single player that was banned. I now have a list hundreds of names long. Players used to have no problem playing together and having fun without the need to act like a bunch pre-pubescent children pulling hair on the playground. I am tired of it, the admin team is tired of it and I know many players who are also far too tired of it. A zero tolerance policy is now in effect until players can learn to act with the slightest degree of decorum. You do not have a right to play this mod, you have a privilege and it is time players acted in accordance with that privilege.
As this is the internet and positive reinforcement does not work, we will therefore build a nicer community through negative reinforcement aka the banhammer. I appreciate that the majority of the community are perfectly civil and a pleasure to play with but there are a fair number of players who have abused our good nature of late. They have crossed the line on repeated occasions and expect that they will not be met with repercussions. Time for that illusion to dissipate. I love this game and the community that has been built around it but there are those who seek to detract from the good nature of what I like to think is one of the most friendly and mature communities in Warband.
Love,
Hypernoma
TL;DR If you break my rules, I will break you. There is now a zero-tolerance policy.
