I'd notice >:oP

You stopped counting as soon as you became News Crew

As a famous robot once said:

I don't think he's even full News Crew yet. Or that might be the other guy.

I dunno, don't care, that would require me to converse with his overlord and I don't particularly want to do that these days.

I'm full news crew now that I've got access to the dashboard. Doesn't change who I am though, just means I've got to put together news without messing up too much

Yes, for Forum Staff.

He's News Crew. They're an entirely different breed. Primary function is to stare at the News e-mail inbox and go "should I news that? I might let someone else do it".

They get the praise.
Forum staff get the abuse.

It's a wonderful system. I balance it out by murdering spambots and banning people. This weeks tally is 4 bans and 5 deletions.

4 people banned!...I don't spend enough time browsing most of the site. There's just too many topics, I just don't see all the rabble rousers.
Maybe you should upload your consciousness to the site to keep a 24 hour view on everything. You could be Seibertrons very own Sminem.

Also..where's the RDD? Y aren't they defending their cabal? More than willing to run escort with them against squishies, but there seems to be a real lack of prominence.
Dammit! Dominate these Maximals.

You can try..try. Attack with your furry fur, teeths. Decepticon metal and monsters await.

Found a dude that had five accounts.

Like sprokitz said.

Why would anyone need more than one account... :-?

Unless I guess they wanted to be both cons and bots in the game or just wanted to argue against themselves in a thread.

Go look in the Fantasy Battles sub-forum.

Wow...that's insane. As much as I'm curious to know why they would go through the trouble of setting up multiple accounts for very little gain, I'm aware that the answer might simply be because they were bored.

Cmon down to level 0-3, I'll be happy to hold your hand through missions.

I didn't know that SPAM factory still existed. Does that mean the Party Forum is still about as well?

And Discharge, even the RDD need their beauty sleep... Well some of us anyways, I'm convinced there are some here that never go offline.

Damn that was a trip back in time, so many people that should have been banned but simply vanished.

Also, so many stupid, STUPID threads.

by **Bun-Bun** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 6:46 am

I remember that being the place to go to artificially boost your post count (if you cared about such things)... also the utter stupidity, yeah.

Anyways, back on topic (I guess),

I know Wingz has got RL stuff going on right now but how about the rest of you Bots?

Pick your target, name a mission and let's have it out: LMAO (& Friends) vs The RDD

Nope. We're not having little clique wars.

This game is about Autobots and Decepticons. If people want to role-play Maximals and Predacons or some other faction, by all means, DO IT. But there will be NO "exclusive" contests.

Let's work on getting the player based built up instead of trying to divide into little cliques.

by **Bun-Bun** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 7:15 am

Really.

Trying to get people a little excited about a thing, maybe talking a little smack & creating a couple rivalries & you just stomp that out.

What is with everyone telling everyone else how they can & can't play lately?

It'd be amazing if the Bots could manage a clique.
We're a LONG way away from the days of RDD, AWC, MIC, etc. here Burn.

But fine, you're the Boss here.
Let's just all go back to grinding away & board silence.

by **Skoll** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 7:22 am

Daddy Bun-Buns, why won't they let us have war?

No, you don't put this on me. Saying no to sub-faction rules is entirely different from people arranging competitions for any and all.

Anyone can have a rivalry.
Anyone can have a competition.

But NEVER will someone be excluded just because they're not some part of a clique. After all, is that not telling someone how they can and can't play?

By all means, organise a competition, just make it inclusive.

by **Bun-Bun** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 7:32 am

Dude, I have no way of excluding any one from playing.
The best I can do is exactly what I did: "Hey pick a mission and lets all fight there"
Just because 2 factions would be claiming that as a contest on the boards doesn't exclude whoever wanted to jump in from doing so... In fact it was kind of the point (get people interested in playing & having decent opposition for once)
