undsputed Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 I think Nav did drive a few people away. Earedli (spelling) comes to mind...especially after the infamous "oscar incident." Possibly some others like kobratank also.
DjCiD Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 yep i think i still have that thread somewhere its a classic ;Dbelieve or not i talked to kebabshop they other day he came back after a 6 month break. he said he was getting in touch wit Earedli to get some games on.... should be fun.
Desert_Eagle25 Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 i'm still new, so could sum1 tell meeh about the "oscar incident" ??
DjCiD Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Well, it happened in the old WestWood forum... but to make a long story short there was thread bout the oscars, LOTR got mentioned, then something about that Ian guy and sodomites..... it was just way off topic.... i think it was when nav explained what a sodoimte was and what it involved doing, that tiped the scale and got it snctched up ;D-sorry had my bong goggles on, am fine now and edited it... ;D
Desert_Eagle25 Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 i dont understand wtf u said, but whut the hell ;D
Navaros Posted July 16, 2002 Author Posted July 16, 2002 Just to clear a few things up:I am not leaving because of how anyone treated me on these boards or online. If being insulted/made fun of etc. etc. was reason enough for me to leave the Emperor forums then I would have done so about 8 months ago.As I said in the original post, I am not gonna stop posting due to anything any of the players have said to/about me or my posts. Rather, I will not waste my time writing carefully-thought-out posts that end up getting moved off to places where the people who play Emperor online are never ever going to see them.I start threads in the main Forum of Emperor because that is where the vast majority of the people who play Emperor online look, and they don't look anywhere else for the most part. By having my threads moved out of the sight of my target audience every single time I post, means there is no point in me posting. I don't *want* my threads in any of the strategy Forums. I want to be able to discuss my ideas/issues in the main Emperor Forum with the people who play Emperor online currently, who play Emperor with me, and because my threads get moved off to the strategy forums almost every time, that never happens: hence, my time is wasted.To summarize, I am *not* leaving because I have been insulted or offended by any of the users here.Sure, some of them are out of line some times but I don't care because despite their disagreements, *I* know that the harvesting/pathfinding bugs are real and prevalent, *I* know what strategies are impossible to reasonably counter, and *I* know that any strats I have posted to help other people are valuable and actually *work*. Most of the Emperor community is incompetent when it comes to RTS games, so they make ridiculous statements like: "the pathfinding/harvesting bugs are not much of an issue" and then insult me for telling the truth - a truth which they can not understand or appreciate because they are too inept to see it. Once more, the one and only reason I am not going to post about Emperor any more (unless I get DC cheated or something) is because of the Mods here and the way the system is set up - a system that moves any talk about Emperor gameplay in the Main Emperor Forum off to strategy Forums where the people who play Emperor online right now never see it. Gob has said that this is not gonna change any time soon so it's unlikely that my services are gonna be available to the Emperor community in the future.
Gobalopper Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Nav I told you when the official forum was first closed that things weren't going to change just because you didn't like them. Why couldn't you have made this decision 3 months ago? :)
Frodo Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 oh, i had no clue that this went back to the old westwood forums, i have only been there as a guest viewing teh Emperor Expansion thread. ;D But I have not read any of Navaros's poasts there.
nemafakei Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Nav, you can't expect your threads to simply be unquestioningly read. People are bound to oppose you. You know why? Look to the top of your screen... "FED2k Discussion". Therefore any posts you make are going to be discussed. "because of the Mods here" Now, if you've got a problem with the mods, complain to us (preferably by IM). That way, we can improve.As to moving threads, frankly, if we don't move them, they all get lost and mixed up and stated again and again on one board. If we do, people will have to click the mouse button a few more times to see the different sections. If someone is too lazy to put that effort in, they don't deserve your help and effort, Nav.
Edric O Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Nobody needs your pathetic advice, Nav! >:(Mods, how many times does Nav have to insult the community for you to DO something? See this:"Most of the Emperor community is incompetent when it comes to RTS games"Good thing he's leaving... He should have been banned MONTHS ago.
SurlyPIG Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 Ditto to Frodo, Nema and Nyar.Everybody needs to *TONE IT DOWN*. Think about this for a second...You're bickering with, putting down, insulting, and wishing ill upon someone you have never met or even spoken to. This is a discussion forum about a game...a place to comment on something that is supposed to amuse or relax. Remember that? I doubt that most of the people who have replied to this thread are relaxed as they flame and rant about this and that, stuff that happened months ago and isn't even relevant to what this board is supposed to be the topic of! What if nav was one of your peers? Would you insult him like a gradeschooler every time he opens his mouth? Some people think that, just because you're speaking through the internet and you cant see who you're talking to, its ok to be an asshole. Not so. We're all people here and everyone deserves the respect as such.When you read anything, including message board posts, look beyond the words and try to analyze the essense of the point the writer was trying to get across. For instance, say I make a topic about how only a moron would use the theilaxu subhouse. Do I mean that? No, its a figure of speech. The ESSENSE or the POINT of what I'm saying is that the theilaxu aren't the most capable or practical subhouse to use. See the point, not the words. I thought this would have been emminantly clear to anyone who's been on a MB for a while.One question...What is the purpose of the lansraad and why are acriku and edric part of it?
DukeLeto Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 But he is funny sometimes...Oh well, watch the community slowly fall apart...First Ghosty, now NAV...Sigh. :(
Gobalopper Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 One question...What is the purpose of the lansraad and why are acriku and edric part of it?The Landsraad is basically just older members of the forum. It gives them access to something like an old timers board. They don't have any more power then regular members.
Acriku Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 ACElethal, if there is some hidden meaning or essence to Nav's insults to the general and specific community, then call me lost. He blatantly says some are idiots, incompetent, and ignorant to RTS - what's the ESSENCE of that? That people need to realize that Nav is all knowing and is correct and is utterly ignorant if they do not know that Nav is always right?I would have respect for Nav if it wasn't for the insults to the community, but sadly no respect to what he says. Now I just laugh at his comments and have a good time, much better no? P.S. It isn't too wise to talk about landsraad or moderators out loud, IM if you have a problem.
SurlyPIG Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 He's saying he holds them in a dimmer light and that he doesn't want them posting their replies. Anf frankly calling someone ignorant or incompetant is a drop in the bucket compared to what everyone else is saying to him. I remember someone saying that he was going to Toronto to beat up nav. Ppl tell him to go to hell in just about every one of his topics. Some are foolish enough to blame him for others leaving. Franky I think anyone that makes such an antagonist out of someone they know from the internet must have anger management problems or something. In your last two posts you called him bigheaded and full of shit. Go back and read this topic just to get a taste of what he has to put up with.One person calling you ignorant or incompetant is nothing compared to 30+ people calling you a moron, telling you to go to hell and threatening physical harm to you.If he does change, then goodluck to him and I hope he has a nice life. If not, then oh well he will never know how to be happy.Right here you implied that, unless he changes in the matter you say, you wish him bad time in life.This kind of schoolyard behaviour is usually typical of arrogant kids that havn't hit puberty...
Taqwa11 Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 I was going to comment here, but never mind. Ace, you are a voice of maturity despite your age. Yes, this is a game forum.
ordos45 Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 Threat's of physical harm ACE? Sorry, guessed I missed it. Oh well, will re-read.
Desert_Eagle25 Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 I bet ACE has lackies that follow him around every where. ;D
SurlyPIG Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 I bet ACE has lackies that follow him around every where. ;DYou would think wouldn't you. :( :'(Anyway I'll finish off by relaying something I just IMed to Acriku. Written posts are open to interpretation. What you infer from a post might not necessarily what the poster meant to say, so it just doesn't make sense to get all worked up about it. For an example, lets go back to the quote from DE. It is reasonable to assume that, by "lackeys", DE could have meant friends, admirers, servants, paparazzi, or he might have even been calling me a pimp. Neither interpretation is totally wrong, but we don't know for sure which one DE meant! Thats what I was trying to say by looking for the essence of the words you read.
ordos45 Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 Paparazzi? I thought only the Landsraad got those. ;) Just kidding there. Interpretation can often cause more arguements than it stops, part of being human.
Edric O Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 You really don't know Nav, do you ACE?Please tell me this: What is the hidden meaning of calling anyone who doesn't agree with you a moron/incompetent idiot/sub-intelligent newbie? Because if there is one such meaning, I'm sorry, but it was buried too deep beneath a pile of insults for me to see it!Nav is flamed by 30+ people because he DESERVES it. I didn't see you around lately, so I suppose you really don't know Nav. Once you get to know him, you realise he's completely beyond redemption.And speaking of hidden meanings, what is the underlying message of that comment about the Landsraad, hmmm?
Marcel71 Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 OK Ace, he cursed me lots of times with names like moron.But worsed of all when he was banned from WW forums he told 1 guy (i forgot his name, but it is that guy which has his anti ken124578 homepage) to tell on the message boards i fuck cows !!!!So such a person u are defending. I don't know the english saying for it, but he is just jusing other people too. I really have no good word for him. Further he said something like "Marcel somebody should slap you real good"..hmmm, speaking about physical violance. He was one of my main reasons to stop posting.So seeing him not post any more just makes my day..
Frodo Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 oh, i missed all of this. I didn't know this stuff. This all happened at the Westwood boards, and he was banned. :O
Dante Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......................Good grief, don't you people have anything better to do with your time than argue about whether to like or dislike someone?
DukeLeto Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 Dust Scout has a point...By the way, you know who NAV reminds me of?Riper. Just a little. ;)
