General Discussion / How do I block people on the c-RPG site from messaging me?

« on: October 05, 2012, 05:46:12 am »

Simple matter to do it via the forum, but how do I do this for the c-RPG scroll message system where the character page/etc is?

General Discussion / Your warnings should actually inform what exactly was violated

« on: September 29, 2012, 12:28:26 pm »

Seeing as I received my first two real warnings on this forum (took you long enough, 10,000 posts later...), a pair of 20 point slammers, and seeing as I don't have anyone I can specifically inquire about, I figured I would post something publicly and ask:

I received two of these:

Tears of Destiny,

The diplomacy forum has its own special rules which are to be followed. Please cease your current posting activities and abide by the forum rules otherwise we will take further action.

You may find the rules here: http://forum.meleegaming.com/diplomacy/important-diplomacy-forum-rules/

Regards,
The Melee Gaming Team.

Now this greatly amuses me, as I rarely post there, so what exactly was I warned about as I honestly don't know. It has been so long since that forum has actually been enforced I'm curious if you had to issue a million different warnings as well.

My last five postings there:

(click to show/hide)

Unicorns was originally the "corns" clan that they explained to me the origin of the name Corns in a glorious (and slightly tipsy) mumble night filled with laughter and joy. They later joined FCC. Honestly, I miss the Corn Archer Squad.

I actually want to arrange a meeting about this tomorrow (Friday) if possible with KUTT, as according to my intel he did this to a fief that was not under direct ownership of KUTT. Regardless, I would like for us to open direct communications, as we would have simply given the resources back if you presented a case to us and explained things. From our perspective he did this to a fief that was not owned by KUTT and merely in your "heritage claims" and inexplicably later was attacked by KUTT. Attacking each other on impulse for "retribution" without prior warning will turn ugly in the future, something I would greatly prefer to avoid as that sparks wars.

That is pretty usual for everyone trying to understand you. 

The amusing thing is, he did not even quote the actual lyrics and still fucked them up if he did (Making the second line a confusing mess), so no, not even the original is that horrid.

As a native English Speaker, both your written English and especially your "Lyric" is borderline unintelligible.
If you would like for us to form a grudge with you, please fill out and submit the proper Grudge Form 1408 as soon as possible, and we shall do our best to process and evaluate it, putting you on the waiting list if approved. Don't forget to include two characters of reference as well as a short 250 word essay on why you are best suited for us awarding a grudge to you.

Thank you for your cooperation!

So seeing as all of my recent posts have been perfectly on target and well within "character" might I ask what two likely ancient posts was I warned about? I mean, of all the forums, of all the posting, you pick the rarely-moderated Diplomacy forum that I rarely post in, so what was it?

EDIT: See Response 7 in this thread, epic lulz

General Discussion / Can we all just thank ourselves and the player base?

« on: September 19, 2012, 01:30:58 am »

Most of the posts I read are joyful interactions of the community, whether joking, discussing "serious" matters, socializing or trying to rip each other's throats out and make grudges, and truthfully I would not have it any other way. All the while we sit around, making new friends and enemies, bantering with how the devs keep killing the mod every year, selling our virtual bodies for upvotes and looms, and making ties that keep us playing this mod and sucking new people in and keeping them. I think the community deserves a thanks for just how petty, bored, imaginative, egotistical, trollish, "intelligent," self-important and nerdy we all really are with our "tests" and "theories" and "grudges" and "e-peen" (Except that one clan, they suck, booo). SO THANKS. I've been happily playing this mod for longer then I should play anything, so thanks. Good times, good times.


Without us, this mod would be literally dead.

Literally.

Suggestions Corner / Slight tweak to how the ranks are prioritized on Strategus site

« on: September 17, 2012, 10:13:18 am »

http://strategus.c-rpg.net/news.php?faction

Currently when I double-click "rank" to sort by rank (So from lowest to highest, then highest to lowest again), it lists 9 as a higher number then 10 (Actually it lists everything 2 and higher above 10). Please fix this so 10 is ranked higher then 9 (Change your numbers in the code behind your website to put zeros in front of the numbers). This is a great irritation when sorting through lists and seeing the incorrect priority.

Currently you have somewhere in your website code:

Code: [Select]

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

You need:

Code: [Select]

01
02
03
04
05
06
07
08
09
10
Whoever did this should receive a small slap on the wrist for making such an elementary programmer error

Closed Requests / [Ban/Warning Request] Kaiden of Chaos

« on: September 01, 2012, 05:06:39 am »

At the logs in NA_1 at about 9:04PM Mountain Time he will be shown to teamwound Fallen_Smiling right at spawn, then not even a minute later the same to Fallen_Fabio. Unfortunately I don't have the screenshots but the logs will show him TWing numerous times before there was any enemy contact or kills leaving little excuse.

At the very least I would like a warning issued to him.

Suggestions Corner / New e-peen meter: Points/death on character sheet.

« on: August 07, 2012, 12:34:13 am »

We should track your total points earned, and then have a points/death ratio system for every point and death earned since this new system was implemented.

Why? Well naturally so we can compare another number and boast and argue and fight about it of course.

Realism Discussion / Throwing lances should hurt people even blocking with shields

For the lulz, because they look like Pila.

The following shows that a shield is effective against a Hasta type spearhead (traditional), while a pilum will penetrate or split it.

First half of the video they throw Hasta, near the end Pila.

So... BUFF THROWING LANCES

General Discussion / The reputation system confuses me, how does it work?

« on: August 01, 2012, 07:58:24 pm »

Also, feel free to upvote or downvote me on a whim on every post I make regardless of reason.

Anywho, I oddly enough upvoted Rhaylesesesexsexsex a couple of times, like maybe 30 times, and that dang cutie pie only rose 3 points in the system.

Conversely, after noticing Tauviksybayz downvoting every post on the forums, I decided for the lulz to downvote 60 of his posts, but then noticed his infamy increasing by sixty points... That was pretty lulzy, a nice time spent while waiting for my delicious water to boil on the stove.

So how does this thing work?

Suggestions Corner / Bring back the forum link that links to your character page.

« on: July 30, 2012, 01:06:18 am »

Self Explanatory, but if you need a reason, it is because it is incredibly convenient to have that link at the top of every page.

EDIT: For clarity, I mean bring back the forum link that links TO the character page. it used to be at the top left of every forum page.

General Discussion / EU Agility Poll

« on: July 13, 2012, 06:09:58 am »

I'm interested in seeing the breakdown of agility taken on EU.

This is with a level 30 or higher final build in mind. Assuming full athletics is taken for each available increment, if you have something in between the numbers listed here please round down.
