emprworm Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 hmmm that line looked straight in my text box. :-[
emprworm Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Thank you so much Emprworm, you have opened our eyes to the fact that we are a corrupt elitist dictatorship. ::)Now all we need is a political police force! ;Dglad I can help. thats why I am here ;)
nemafakei Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Empr, Look at the reasons for things, not just a way to sling mud at it, and you might see an answer. And this is not a debate about what the Landsraad does/contains/votes for, it is a simple question for you to answer.If you have a complaint with a landsraad member, IM them. If you have a complaint about the Landsraad as a whole, IM Gob.
DjCiD Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 "we only want people in our government that agree with us, so that our will can be enforced unchallenged."well Acriku and have have very different view points on reilgion and yet we both get a long and are in the Landsraad. We have even played over XBL, and still yet we differ on probally more than just religious view points.
Inoculator9 Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 The Landsraad doesn't seem to have a problem co-existing from what I've seen of them :-
rogue1896 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Posted January 24, 2003 well this is getting offtopic now. the only problem i ever had with the landsraad was with what emp said earlier. i believe that number6 should have been a mod of the tech support part and not a member of landsraad. to the extent of my knowledge he hasn't helped the dune2k communty, but more the tech support community. i think he probably has like at most 20 posts outside tech support. that's just my opinion. ok, back on topic. i don't want this to turn the way that other one did. i just really wanted to know what gets you nominated. b/c as a lot of you know i'm trying to get my own avatar ;) and i swear to Gob that this was not a method to attempt to sway a vote or something in my favor. *ahem* no really *ahem* ::) *kicks flameweaver* YOU TOLD THEM DIDN'T YOU! ;) on that note, if you read this, you feeling better yet? i woulda made a new post about it but i just remember so i figured what the hell.
Edric O Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 well Acriku and have have very different view points on reilgion and yet we both get a long and are in the Landsraad.Same here.
rogue1896 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Posted January 24, 2003 [hide][hide]*slips edric a $20*[/hide]*ahem* i think you know what that's for...just help me out and you'll get twice that...just keep this between us...[/hide]*cough* throws a roll of $1's at dj *cough*What? How DARE you accuse me of bribery. i have done no such thing.*runs away*next month...it'll work next month...they'll never see it coming. ;)
nemafakei Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 That cash will probably be used to repay debts incurred to Gob for null votes. What was it? CA$30?
rogue1896 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Posted January 24, 2003 what cash? i don't know what your talking about. you'll get nothing outta me. you have no prove. stop with the accusations. i don't have to tell you anything. this interrogation is over. you have no bounds to keep me here. i'm going home... *looks from side to side**runs for the border* let's see. i live in new jersey. how far is that to canadia? make i can seek asylum over there.
rogue1896 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Posted January 24, 2003 ET phone home! but make sure it's 1-800-COLLECT. lol.i assume by aliens you mean the canadia folk? i doubt they'll like me. but then again, i like hockey. that's a plus, right? canadia folk like hockey don't they? i speak a lil french too. maybe they'll accept me. and then i can come and assassinate the almighty Gob to make way for the new era in which edr...oh damn i've said too much. :-X
rogue1896 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Posted January 24, 2003 Canada doesn't take US asylumm seekersbut what if i let them in on my vastness of american culture and political system. and maybe a few tips on a new weapon of mass destruction. yup, a few guys from the CIA were testing it on me. it makes you feel all tingly. they said it makes you rant and talk utter bullshit until you die 5 days later. come to think of it that was like 4 days ago...
Nyarlathotep Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Let me put things differently..When I became a member of this board, I just registered and hacly ever posted here. When the official EBFD boards closed, I was asked to become a mod in a to be created tech support forum. With that, I also received the title Landsraad. No one.. and I mean no one never ever said anything about it. Not a word was said. When I received Mod status and the Landsraad title I felt it as a honor. I still believe it's a honor to receive the Landsraad title. therefor I still wonder why this fuzz is all about... anyways, here goes..How does voting/nominating go ?Someone from the Landsraad will nominate a member from the board. He/she get's their name put up on a poll. Generally speaking their are 5 options (amongst them the none vote). In the end, the person with 50% or more get's in the Landsraad. To me, this seems nothing more then fair.As far as the last nomination/voting went:As you all know, Number6 was chosen as last member of the Landsraad Somone from the board objects to it, which eventually results in this thread. You all know I nominated him. Yes I known him longer then I do most of you. Did I pull him in > No ! Some of you may be wondering "yeah sure Doc". I didn't If I nominate him, doesn't mean he get's in automaticly. I've nominated him several tims (I believe 4 or 5 times, can't be sure about that). All those times before other people got the Landsraad title, like DjCID.Do I object to Dj being in the Landsraad ? No way ! Why did I insist in nominating Number6 for that title ? I nominated him for his work in the tech forum. The amount of time he takes to research a problem, the extra info he posts when he replies to a problem, the links he supplies people with when they need a patch and/or driver. I don't call him Sherlock for nothing. Apart from his work in the tech forum, he also helped out in "The loclup issue" thread. Sure, not officially a part of this forum, but he helped out in many ways (no, you don't read through that thread in 20 minutes).The only way I could ever thank Number6 for his work and time was to nominate him for the Landsraad title and that's what I did. Some of you seem to forget the fact that (at least for me) the support for people reaches far more further then just this forum. I get loads of e-mail from people who visited here and e-mailed me, instead of creaing a thread in this forum. I can honestly say that the amount of e-mails I have, come close the amount of threads in the forum. Myself and Number6 do this in our private time, without getting payed for. IMHO, Number6 deserves the Landsraad title in every way. Don't other members deserve that title ? Sure they do. There are several other member who I think should deserve that same title. Who knows who get's voted for next month, but only one at the time.
Cyborg Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Why don't we all stop moaning?Are you moangers so power-thirsty? I thought we were here to have fun and post, not to archieve the highest rank as fast as possible. >:(
Dunenewt Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Must become Fed2k Staff..............................
Cyborg Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 I believe that is how some of the members think...
nemafakei Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Precisely, Cyborg."not to archieve the highest rank as fast as possible"I remember when there was a post-based ranking system. That encouraged spam.
emprworm Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Why don't we all stop moaning?Are you moangers so power-thirsty? I thought we were here to have fun and post, not to archieve the highest rank as fast as possible. >:(i dont understand. what is it about earthnukers year long contribution of 3000+ posts that is 'fast as possible?'power-thirsty is a word I'd use, but not to describe the fed2k vagabonds.
Gobalopper Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Sometimes I wonder why I even bother running websites. The Landsraad was started as a place where friends could basically talk without having the usual spam or offtopicness found in the regular boards. Not everyone is going to be added right away especially when there are only votes once a month. You don't automatically get in the Landsraad because of what you contribute to the site, or how long you have been here, or how many posts you have. Sure things like that help but they were never the reason behind why I created it. People seem to have misconception about what it really is and are really blowing this out of proportion.
rogue1896 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Posted January 24, 2003 *gasp* are you trying to say that i spam? fine then. i'll only post once a day if that makes you happy. don't want to be DISCOURTEOUS to others >:( :-[ :'( now what to do for the other rest of the day...well how about 2 posts a day for pities sake.
