Title: Banner Changes
Post by: deucedatruf on July 24, 2014, 02:37:13 am
Now I'm not one to conjure up long posts from the gods, but what the hell did my non-blond-haired, blue eyed self, just see??? I spend 350K on a banner and lose it because Republican lobbyists decided to take a banner without warning or rules for its creation. If I had known I was going to get my banner taken, would have never wasted my money in the first place.

I didn't know this mod was heading in the same direction as the NFL (No Fun League). First you garnish my wages for end zone celebration and now you tell me I get to sit the bench because of a rule you just added on page 964 of the C-RPG handbook.

I paid for a banner to be unique just like the thousands before me...If you have rules for banners why not put them in the creation section so that people don't waste the gold they spend hours farming for. I feel like the damn Grinch when he woke up and saw he was green, or Chris Farley after he snorted one too many lines. Immersion is null and void when you have people running around with names like "Dick Smashing Ardvark" or when you don't have Throwing Barrels in game.

Sorry to be harsh, but I would like my 350K back at the very least, so that I can sit on it with my tights on and throw footballs at pictures of the ones who took it away. We need a revolution AMEN - In my Baptist Preacher Voice.

This is Malarky. Would you cut it?

I'm okay with removing profanity and things that are offensive, but let the man show his colors! If Arys can keep his banner then Peyton should be able to as well.

I don't know this guy, probably a NA player, but if the banner removed is the one he use in avatar, i didn't see the problem of that banner.
She's not realy beautiful in my opinion but she was not the worse. If you open the textures files for banner, you can see many banner that was much worst compared to this one.

There is what you can find when you open it:

See above NA banners. None of these other than the Yoshi and Sloth banners are vaguely "heraldic in nature". I don't know if you just let Semen Storm run around with theirs because they are such an old clan they can buy off the admins but it's sort of bullshit. You took our slot for "banner trolling" with the dickbutt banner so take the rest of these as well. Fucking FCC puuties have the ducks emblem for Christ's sake that's copyrighted material. At least Peyton Manning had the sack to make his marginally original. RIP mods fire them all and lets get some people who care about this mod and aren't goosestepping chocolate chip cookie's.

I always chuckle when I see a 'stupid' banner.  Just glad not everyone uses them though; I'm sure it would get pretty crazy.  But Peyton Manning was just one guy- not like 30 guys running around with that.

And hey, my banner (13 Knights) isn't that bad.  Not heraldic, but uses latin and roman numerals, so theoretically 12th centuryish.

Exactly, I only created the banner for myself to be unique. Not like it helps me. I'm still balanced and get targetted by everyone lol. They should have at least put a desciption on the auction with rules or something. Stupid me bought something thinking it was fine. My banner doesn't even take the cake to some of the others. Its a picture of a donkey. They got donkeys in game.

Wish I could have my banner back considering the banners I still see in game. Don't half ass rules if your going to enforce them. If you have a rule about 1 person buying a banner slot for themselves then enforce that or let us know preferably. You would think that being considerate to people that do not cause problems or get banned every 3 days would be a good thing to do. A private massage or a warning would have been great too. Hey your donkey banner is inappropriate for my children to look at while I sit and play C-RPG is not a good reason. My bright ass must have killed the person who did this about 5 times.
Title: Re: Banner Changes
Post by: Mallets on July 28, 2014, 12:01:04 am
I must admit... this is pretty much a load of donkey shit!

Seriously admins?!  With all the issues that cRPG faces.  With all the things that could be done to not only improve it, but see it grow as a game and a community... and this is what you choose to do with your time.

This is the kind of shit that should make chadz and San and the others devs throw a fit.  They should immediately hold a meeting with their admins and give them a stern talking to cut the bullshit... help the game grow... or you'll be fired as an admin.  I'm not saying this lightly.  I'm not one to cry about admins or devs.  You'll never hear my cry about a broken game.  I may not like some of the patch notes I read.  I may offer my ideas.  But I'll never say the game is broken and act like I'll stop playing because on weapon stat changes and the like.

But seeing something like this.  It's enough to make me want to stop playing.  To see that the powers that be (the admins) can abuse & do with random players as they like... that's pretty damn ridiculous!  And I don't want to here about rules and such.  There's players with semen on their banner.  There's banners with an NHL logo on it's banner.  There's tons of non-medieval and non-heraldic banners.


With all this said... I really want to here an admin or dev come into this thread and have a serious and thorough discussion/explanation of how this is right/correct/fair or all-around good for this game & it's community.  Please no "rules are rules".  If they were, we wouldn't have semen banners.  And for the record... let's have semen banners... but let Peyton Manning have his as well.  What's the harm?  Seriously... give us a reason how semen banners will hurt the game or community.

Not trying to sound too bitchy with this post (just a little bitchy).  But seriously, I want the game to grow... or at least survive a few more years.  It won't if those given power, grossly and erratically mis-use their power.  Notice I said "mis-use" not abuse.  The former is just is nearly as bad!

With all that said, I'm not naming any admins.  Honestly, not!  I have never had any bad run-ins myself.  Couldn't really name any admins.  But you see enough abuse and enough ridiculous mis-use of power... that the part of you that wants this game to be a great game (and community) has to stand up and say something.

Speaking of banners being randomly removed, and also in memory of the tux banner I used, here is a message requiring me to change my banner from 2012 along with the boundaries they told me to abide by.   Below that is my response that is most likely filled with grammatical mistakes among other things.

MY RESPONSE: WARNING MAY CONTAIN SOME SASS (Fixed some errors too)

TL;DR some sarcastic comments made by me towards the moderators and R.I.P. Tux banner

San, you've always seemed super helpful.  As a Dev, I'm not really sure what power/responsibilities fall to you.  But is their nothing that you or Tyedus (or chadz or any of the other devs) can do about some of these Admin mis-use & abuse.  Is there no governing of admins at all?  Once they are in power... can they truly do as they will?

Seriously... guys get their banners removed all the time for not being medieval enough... yet it's clear, the same rule doesn't apply to all... with a dozen other prominent banners in the game (i.e. Semen).

How can the power given to admins be so ungoverned?  How can they allowed to be so chaotic or self-serving with their use of power?

In the grand scheme of things, does a single banner matter this much?  Probably not!  But does making sure we have admins that better the community.  The governing of admins should be taken seriously.  Just as the admins governing the community should be a serious job.

All the for the betterment of this community... and more importantly... this game!

You can't make fun of our raging boner bro sword. But for real, I think whoever is in charge of this just looks at the banners with 1-3 players on them and removes them if they look dumb. Which isn't really fair, because if you're going to enforce a rule you need to enforce it fully, not half assed. If their banner isn't medieval enough, we should remove ugly ass faces since they ruin my role playing experience. EI my fat face.

Admins like myself have nothing to do with banners being removed or taken down.
We can make a complaint about them to the devs, yes, but at least in my own understanding, a complaint from us would be just the same weight as a complaint from anyone else.

Someone said this a while ago, I think it's relevant now.

Also there are at least 2 guys in EU with poorly and comically (for them, at least) drawn dicks as their banner with the word "swag" under them. They are unfunny and unoriginal but those are totally fine? Any of the banners in the first page are avant garde masterpieces by comparison.

I honestly and truly believe the banner was removed because someone else wanted it. Its the only logical explanation I can think of when you look at the available banner pool. If that's the case, then I'd at least like to be reimbursed and maybe a rule for minimum amount of people on a banner before purchase, or a submission list of some sort. At least tell people they are making a bad decision. I am not even a forum user, so I would have never known had I not graced this place with my presence. There is always CS or something where there are not regulations (without rules) on clan names I guess.

I suppose common sense could also be an argument had there not been the other 'comical banners' available.

I agree that the rules should be equal across the board.  If Peyton Manning the siege tower loses his, so should all the other dorky ones.  But I like the dorky ones (in moderation).

But I think the main point we're all trying to get at is that 13 Knights' banner is not only appropriate, but it is also awesome.  And should be taken off that list.

I say all of these should be removed too, with the exception of the Takeda banner. Why is that even on here? That was an actual coat of arms for a Japanese feudal clan. I'm surprised so many people overlooked that.

Some people have the argument that these banners are just for fun, but the counter argument to this is some people do not have fun coming onto a game like this just to see a bunch of seamen, yoshis, anime girls, football banners, hello kitties, and whatever other derp that people can muster up.

We need more EU admins in NA. Our NA admins are all too tolerant of autism. I'll go even further and say that is what is wrong with the internet. People get on the internet, children mostly, and develop an acceptance of idiocy and then become idiots themselves. If humans acted the way they do on the internet in any other time period, they would be probably be killed off. I'm not trying to be the bearer of bad news, but we can't really ignore the fact that the internet, and especially a video game community, has a huge influence on children exposed to such environments. When everyone is running around with their vulgar and idiotic names and their idiotic troll banners and that becomes the accepted behavior, you are really doing a number on humanity, whether it be conscious or not.

I'm not saying don't have fun and don't be silly ever. I'm just saying there should be some effort of consideration for those who are affected negatively by such behaviors. And right now the majority of NA is a pile of autistic putrid, to be generous. Maybe its worse in EU, and they stepped up their admin game.

Incoming infamy. >.>

Some people have the argument blah blah blah etc etc.

I agree about the 13 Knights' banner.  Latin and Roman numerals are time specific, and the tears and the bloodstains add to the grittiness of the battle.  Are you saying these two fine noble knights look 'wrong'?

I work hard in real life then get on this lovely game to pwn as a football player. Being considerate? Since when was anyone considerate in the world of gaming? lol. Whether I'm running around saying "Manning the siege tower" or wearing a banner. Its all the same. People look at me in bright orange and know who that is. They want to hug me with their swords for burning their eyes and horses turn away. If anything my Banner was a safety system perfectly crafted to alert people of my presence.

Being considerate would mean giving me thine money or banner back for lack of explanation. The real crime was not explaining why my banner was any different from the next Shekel Danglers?
