Either way, when I logged in to SS today I had three messages telling me cash flow king + el father were aliasing and ruining pracs for people by whatever means. Now, aliasing itself is not illegal. El Father and Cash Flow King are both aliases in my book, since the players were known with other names long before these ones. I checked the pracs these aliases were in
When I logged on to the forums I have a !game 100958 message in my inbox telling me that mindriot valiantly SCd to a javelin and ran out the clock in a prac that he was losing.
The only reason for why he did this seems to be that he was upset about the opposing team not restarting a 3v3 match when one of his teammates died out soon(ish). As far as the log goes, no illegal shipchanging or illegal subbing was performed by CFK/el father. However, one of the people messaging me about these guys ruining pracs did illegally sub in and die out.
What mindriot did is against the rules. What the other person did is against the rules.
Also "righting" a wrong with a wrong is against the rules. I've told everyone a bunch of times, if someone breaks the rules and you want me to do something about it, don't try to abuse them in return. I will only view this as idiots arguing online.
Now of course I also had a second message about the fact that Surrey was in the arena when Mindriot cheated and did nothing and I should fire him. This might be tricky, because Surrey is not a part of 4v4 staff yet. He probably will be though, he seems to be around, have his head screwed on semi-right at least and is able to think objectively.
As far as the evidence goes, mindriot is the only one I could ban. I'll hold that thought until I have a chat with surrey though, seeing as how he's being considered as staff-worthy.
I also agree that I shouldn't run the league. It's a lot of work trying to keep a bunch of people happy, while they all want different things I'm sure someone could do a better job, and a lot of people think they could do a better job. A lot of people also realize than even being a regular staffer comes with no benefits, but a bunch of "duties" and people acting like everything they fail at is your fault.
On a more serious note.. I'm not sure how I'm not neutral or balanced in issues that concern the league at a higher level. Just because I don't like (a lot) of the players' attitudes does not mean I don't treat all squads the same. I especially wrote the rules strict without much wiggle room to make sure this happens, and I've stuck to them pretty religiously. Yes, I know, I've bent my own rules a few times this season (helping people sub in, including mindriot), while the rules say it's the captains' responsibility to assign lagouts etc. for their players to be able to return. I mostly did this because the OPPOSING squad's captain asked for ?help.
The same applies for when Da Monkk asked for a restart in our match. Yes, hibachi suggested we should maybe restart for a good match, Monkk was ok with it. I then abused my powers and did not score the game 12-0 for Nguyens. Not that I believe this will make much of a difference in the final standings.
For the two chaos players that read this... yes, it should be on the 4v4 forum but cash's reply is not visible there.

I've read the prac logs that we're dealing with here. Surrey did not threaten to ban you. Also at this point that would make no difference, since he has as much access to any bans as you do. The seven people part, well, I don't know about the exact number but your shenanigans are generally not found hilarious. I could believe they told surrey to ban you, just cause they don't like you any more than Surrey does.
What they may have failed to realize is the fact stated above, Surrey cannot ban anyone
Plus I discussed with Surrey about this whole thing, he wouldn't ban anyone based on it.

Again with your fabrications. The only one Happy Mob there was Mindriot, no one else was from my squad there. And secondly, I am a member of the Staff who was present at the time of the altercation and in the discussion I said I wouldn't ban anyone involved in this incident due to the fact it was mostly just arguing for the sake of arguing with each other instead of playing it out and starting a new one. Mindriot engaged when I entered and told him to either engage or spec please. You chose to not allow a sub by banning all those who wanted to sub in and end the game as well as to not fight mindriot yourself because you would rather complain and whine about him and I, which I have no powers so complaining I am biased does nothing. So I simply got everyone to a new arena to start another practice and let you two sit there and wait out the timer free to complain about each other all you want.
Yes you came in to the 4v4 arena later and started taunting me typing "Ban me, I dare you to try to ban me" over and over. I did say "it probably won't be too long". Although, I was not referring to myself banning you, just you getting banned in general. I probably shouldn't have said that and kept my mouth shut, so I apologize for that. But taunting staff members is probably not in your best interests given your past.
And that will be my last comment on this issue.

As for what makes Surrey's thoughts on banning anyone based on what happened:
"Surrey on the other hand was threatening to ban me in that game for no reason other than he doesn't like me apparently because we beat his squad earlier this year in a game he LVPed. Ever since then he can't stop typing to me in any game we are both in. His comments were that "7 people have complained to me that you should be banned" are a little hard to believe considering there was nothing I did illegal nor 7 other people in the arena in spec. I don't understand what the criteria are for having mod powers, considering that people like Surrey are clearly not emotionally stable enough to handle their own selves, much less have discretionary powers over other people... "
Your judgment could be a bit off there.

I'm sorry, where's the contradiction?
And none of the "accusations" are incorrect. People ?cheater you a lot when you fly into a 2v2 box pretending to not know there was a practice about to take place. And while acting stupid is subjective, someone had ?messaged me about this incident asking for me to ban you since you're annoying and frustrating and whatnot.
Now, it should be obvious that I'm not going to start people for being annoying, everyone should understand that this is not a very solid plan of action.
And yes, spending time on saving league sounds fantastic. As soon as someone tells me how to do this.

read your earlier post about surrey not being able to ban me, then you said he wouldn't ban me in that situation. contradictory

that hasn't happened in a long, long, time. the gate has been working for months, if not a couple years. way to bring something up from 2007.

Are you referring to "start people" from your squad for being annoying? I don't see how that is relevant.

You can start by not neglecting the responsibility you have; namely showing up to the games you are supposed to Mod on time, and by running your position as if it was a democracy and not as a dictatorship. Take a cue from Egypt. Consider taking some input in to your decisions more, it would give us the illusion you care about what things others recommend implementing into the League.

Finally, el father and cash flow are fucking faggots.
I did ship change into a javelin but I continued to engage and try to fight them. They kept running and banning anyone that jumped on freq. That's what happened, ask Surrey, he witnessed it.
OH another note, Cash Flow needs serious mental help. The guy is a total fucking cunt and I wish he would kill himself.
Sincerely,
Mindriot

You do us all a disservice by continuing to breath. Please do the following:
1. Find a bent fork or spoon
2. Find an outlet
3. Find a bucket of piss water (not regular water, make sure it is piss.)
4. Douse yourself with said piss water.
5. Stab yourself repeatedly with the bent fork.
6. Place bent fork into power outlet and fry like the dirty piece of shit that you are.
Thank you Kindly,
Sincerely,
Mindriot

Read the rules. I'm not supposed to mod anything.
I am taking input, but there is none, or very little.
If I was not paying attention, I probably wouldn't waste my time replying to your posts where you intentionally misread things and fail at logic.
Surrey not being able to ban you = he does not have the power to
Surrey would not ban anyone based on what happened = even if he did, he would not have banned anyone.
Those two statements do not contradict each other, since they don't even deal with the same issue.
As for what mindriot said; I've been asking for volunteer staff members for a long time. From the few people who volunteered, I let Jaku join. The other two people who have expressed any interest have been varsity and Dre. I don't count either one as a viable candidate, I don't want to get into staff drama where I need to fire/ban someone for doing something stupid with their powers.
