lol I knew that you would do the LALALALA thing in the end.
As for the "assumption" that was based on a conversation with an admin who told me after I had asked if we could have an event on and AU server for 12 hours, that if I wanted an event for 12 hours that I would have to make my application for an EU server, as NA and AU don't have enough servers to designate servers to be tied up for that long. That conversation was after our very first event that just happened to be hosted on an EU server and did last 12 hours. I would think that, based on that evidence that it is not out of order to assume that events can run on EU servers for as long as 12 hours. And furthermore, I am under no obligation to pay this forum a visit, or your irc. My non game spare time is completely consumed by OTD's own forum and I don't have the inclination to divide that further. So thank you for setting me straight on the rules of events.
As for the reports on me and my so called abrasiveness. That is a separate issue. Just for the record I am not bothered if people do not like me because I ruffle their feathers or rub them up the wrong way. So be it. I do what I do in the interests of making people consider what they do, instead of their mindless plowing ahead doing stupid shit causing disruption to others. If as a director of my own company I had to namby-pamby around people worried about them liking me then nothing would ever have got done. All my time would have been wasted trying to butter people up. I have no malice in me. I am not there to cause upset and then revel or enjoy that upset. Quite the opposite. I just want people to consider others. So I know that my heart is in the right place. That I am dealing predominantly with children that require a bit of a shake-up from time to time I understand. If that causes some of them to despise me for being the messenger then I am fine with that. Hey, I'm a father and a grandfather, I know how it is to be despised for reproof, every parent who is any kind of parent at all also knows. And the thing is that an adult with any kind of healthy understanding of the situation at all, can have a quiet smile to themselves about it.
And lastly
tirade = A long angry or violent speech, usually of a censorious or denunciatory nature; a diatribe.
[French, from Old French, act of firing, from tirer, to draw out, endure, probably back-formation from martirant, present participle of martirer, to torture (influenced by mar, to one's misfortune, and tiranz, executioner, tyrant), from martir, martyr, from Late Latin martyr; see martyr.]
My post may have been a bit long but there was no 'anger or violence' in it. Just a post trying to sort out a few problems confined to the dispassionate truth. O and btw still nothing has been done about my striped armour, funny that. O and btw I was on irc almost non stop for a full week during which time nothing was said to me unless i injected myself into a conversation. O and btw, at Swadian Outskirts, you were all alone. I have witnesses. There was no one benefiting other than you, from your most impressive display. During the first 4 rounds they were there with you, yes. But, as round 6 drew closer we knew that they would all be wiped-out by beserkers or what-not and if so we would probably not make the skirms because of our depleted numbers (you have to understand that most of us were at a stage where we could even get whacked by intruders (something that you could not even fathom i'm sure) so it is harsh to say "hiding behind a shieldwall.") so we sent out a call to get everybody up to the cades, and all came in the end bar you, and we stood there while you solo'd. but there you go, funny how time flies. cya.

Quote:This tirade of yoursVery interesting that you have assumed that this is a tirade, or indeed labelled it as one.

'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.
In the halls of Valhalla,
where the brave
may live...
forever.
