Let's start at the beginning. What is your problem? That you hate OTD is obvious, but why? I remember you on Swadian Outskirts, while everyone was up the hill at the cades and you were running around all by yourself over and over again, and none of the red shirts were getting any xp because of you. We were all expected to stand there and be impressed by your awesomeness and be happy with that. And they were all doing the right thing, working as a team and sticking tight together, and they were being penalised for that in the currency of boredom and nil xp. And when I had the temerity to speak up on their behalf and suggest that ' a dev should be more responsible' I was kicked from that game. No rules were broken in that statement. There was no swearing, no abuse, just the truth.
We come to two weeks ago, your obvious m8y m8 Irish Eagle that you go so out of your way to protect sets up 2 events for OTD who unknowingly assume that they can have events on EU servers for 12 hours because no one has told us any different, and everything was going fine until the server crashed a couple of hours into the event and everyone was too tired at that moment to keep going so we took a break, some to get a nap, because hey, we're a global clan and some of us are up after midnight to try and show clan solidarity. When we come online in the morning, guess what? you guessed it, the event is up, and we assume that the server has righted itself. We do not for one second countenance the idea that our second event has been hosted a full 13 hours ahead of schedule and that we are supposed to look at it in the server list, empty all day until second event time comes around, no. we assume the more reasonable assumption, that last nights server has come good but the password, for what ever reason just does not work any more. So, we contact an admin to sort the problem, and all is fine, we can have fun. Until, all of a sudden, irish eagle crashes through our fun with 'what are you doing here?' to which I reply 'enjoying our event'. He then states that this event has been set up for tonight and dumps us from the server without any further communication until he posts 'we are not amused' in this very topic.
We come to the weekend just concluded, and another event. Here is the application for that event.

#Note; no where in that application is there a lack of "politeness and a bit of common courtesy."
##Also note; That in the return correspondence from irish eagle he has said nothing to let us know that he can not host our event on an NA server, he just goes ahead and hosts it on an EU server of his own volition.
The first event was very disappointingly hosted on an EU server. I say disappointingly because we had our hearts set on NA and only our AU and NA members were expected to attend although all of our members were welcome if they could bring themselves to be online at that time.
We did not even seek to remedy this insult, we pushed on, our grievances not withstanding. Logged into the game and quickly gave up and went to a non event NA server as our pings were just too high to enjoy the event server.
The next day was the second event set to accommodate the other half of the clan and guess what? You guessed it! It was not only hosted on an EU server but it was also hosted on hard, this despite our application to the contrary. So, having established that irish eagle is in fact going out of his way to needle us, I presented myself at IRC to put forward OTD's case, and here is how it goes.

Hypernoma seems to be laboring under the misnomer
that I am actually there foremost to get the event fixed. It does not occur to him that maybe our appetite for an event has been utterly destroyed by this stage and that all we want is our feelings about the whole situation reported, recognized and understood.
As my appearance at the IRC was after the event, you coming here and posting to the effect that it would have been done right if we had displayed "politeness and a bit of common courtesy." fails to take into consideration that the application is perfectly in order and formatted on your own template and that irish eagles actions were performed before I was forced to make an appearance at your IRC and therefore were independent of anything that may or may not have transpired there.
What I have stated above is only the dispassionate truth. No bow's and ribbons to make it more palatable, just the truth, free of invective, free of personal insults, free of vitriolic expression. I have sacked staff members for less than what irish eagle has done. John X for instance, was a staff member of mine, he was inept, he brought into my company less than what he took out. He was a nice enough guy, he was not a liar, and I still like him to this day, but the fact is he was inept, and the business was unwilling to support his ineptitude and thus he was shown the door. So I know that my statement is based in fact and not just rhetoric or hyperbole.
What you must understand Mr hypernoma, is that you do not impress me. I know truly impressive people. I know nurses that have devoted their lives to saving peoples lives, and even more impressively, making them comfortable with death so that they may rest in peace when death is unavoidable. You are just a game maker...... correction, tweeker of Taleworld's work. I suggest that you start behaving as a fellow human being and start dealing with issues as they arise and not as a petulant god, kicking and banning people on a whim, just because you can't close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears and go LALALALALA over the internet.
You sir, can objectively use this post as a bathroom mirror and have a look at yourself, or you can block it and watch your venture with NI go down the gurgler, which it surly will if you do not sit up and take notice. Here's cheers to you sir
And finally in closing this massage, my personal thoughts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMzd40i8TfA

'Lo there
do I see my father
'Lo there do I see
my mother and my sisters
and my brothers.
'Lo there do I see
the line of my people,
back to the beginning.
'Lo they do call to me.
They bid me
take my place amongst them.
In the halls of Valhalla,
where the brave
may live...
forever.
Norse battle chant
do I see my father
'Lo there do I see
my mother and my sisters
and my brothers.
'Lo there do I see
the line of my people,
back to the beginning.
'Lo they do call to me.
They bid me
take my place amongst them.
