Open Site Blathering (formerly Advice from iridium ITT)

[( G_R )]

I just found the thread. I HAD to vote top 2% because I rarely post in the Rumor Mill. Also because most intelligent members of MTGS are already banned/done with the site, our very own rocket scientist included, so being in the top 2% is not that hard these days.

I would say that since the average MTGSer is fairly dumb, I'm probably on the 5%-10% or 2%-5% group.

This is my favorite post of that thread

[iamabadman]

im smart enough to get out a bad situation

FUCK YOU MTGSILLY

[Slammu]

Wait, is it percentage of MtGS or Gen Pop?

[Checkbox]

reading is tech guys

The poll says MTGS userbase

[Slammu]

Oh. Shit. I definitely answered wrong then.

[Captain Murphy]

lol most people think they are smart

[NoHomers]

MTGS has a censor system in place already. Warning for censor evasion issued.
--Frox

The warning for censor evasion has been overturned, however this post reads in a negative and somewhat antagonistic way that sends it into trolling territory. Infraction issued.

Are they just trying to be caricatures of bad mods? Did they get the dates of April Fools and Valentines mixed up? Talore, can't you do something about your boyfriend?

[Captain Murphy]

lol only one homer allowed

So, an interesting tidbit about past forums drama:

Do you guys remember John Rambo, who went deep undercover as an attempt to expose MTGS alpha leaks through other site's espionage?

Well it turns out that he might have been strongarmed into doing this kind of dirty work by a portion of the higher iridium, rather than taking the iniciative of doing it. Maybe we went too harsh on him, but again, with the partial info we had it seemed reasonable.

Maybe this also explains why he resigned from upper-staff. If that info I got is true, I wouldn't have been comfortable with staying in the higher echelons neither .

[Stardust]

I guess Rambo is just a regular tough guy.

[Stardust]

So when do I get my trophy for 2013? I worked hard on those 55 posts.

[Pendulum]

Resigned, huh?

[Enizzle]

So, how much of what was posted in here about leaks and curse and Sally and etc etc is known by the general slobbering public of mtgs?

probably at the end of 2013?

A lot of what's here is in that gigantic CI thread too, but probably not many of the slobbering public have read that...

[Stardust]

Resigned, huh?

Who, me? Just on vacation.

A truly shameful attempt at obfuscation, Stardust.

[Stardust]

What?

There is already an award category nomination for MTGS best metallurgy/tribology expert so you might have a shot at some pinky goodness circa end 2013.

try the razzies best mod lounge leak nomination award, there is a lot of goodness there:

[Stardust]

There's more to me than just metallurgy. I can also juggle! Sadly I'm not proficient with any medieval weapons, though...

[Col. Khaddafi]

Sadly you'd have to post solid advice on juggling first before being eligible for an award nomination.

[Kaitscralt]

Unless he means juggling allegiances

[Stardust]

Juggling is actually very easy. My first suggestion if you're interested in learning is to throw a single ball back and forth between your hands, making sure the peak of the ball's arc is somewhere around eye-level. Once you're comfortable enough doing that that you don't really have to be moving your hands too much to catch the ball you can move to two balls. Take one ball in each hand, throw one, then shortly before catching that one throw the other. It's important that you don't just throw them both at the same time. Wait for the ball to start falling before throwing the second one. Switch which hand is throwing first now and then, then once you have that drill down, moving to three balls is very simple! Good luck!

Oh, btw, I meant to say, Enizzle, that if you have any issues you can feel free to PM me, and I'm sure anyone here would say the same. This place is pretty maze-like at times, and especially for newcomers who weren't around for the shit as it was going down, it can get hard to tell what's going on; believe me, I know.

[Kaitscralt]

By PM he means on another site

[Enizzle]

Well, I'll be honest....my little war of words with mtgs brass has apparently been noted by a few, including currently suspended members. I've told them that I am not the most friendly of posters, especially when I get nabbed for some bullshit, thin, confusing and ridiculous reasons, as I'm sure you've seen listed above.

So. In the spirit of Gi Joe, "Now you know, and knowing is half the battle" and, to a lesser extent, ThunderCats "THUNDERCATS, HOOOOOO!!!" I wouldn't mind any information that would assist me in my quest to better fight against some of the more....insidious....elements of the mtgs hierarchy. Including, but not limited to, information on ways of fighting mods, the history of the site as a whole, Curse, leaks (no names, I get and respect that), and viewpoints on the rules structure and abuses thereof of any active mods, admins, or posters.

[Enizzle]

And I don't know of the other site. Or who he is on the other site. Or how to pm, on any site. Because I'm an idiot like that. Shít, how do you pm here anyway?

[Blackhound]

Welcome Enizzle, Teia is full of shit, thats all the advice I got at the moment.

[Blackhound]

Top left hand corner for PM dude.

[Pendulum]

Click on the user's name, under their profile hit the button on the bottom left saying "PM"

Oh sweet Jesus.

First and foremost, get used to being a symbol. That is my only advice until I feel like spamming more.

[Enizzle]

Hmmm....seems idiot proof. But, hey, I can find a way, nawmean? Do you guys still post on mtgs? Am I barking up the wrong tree here? I'm not a stranger to breaking brass's balls in any medium, but these guys seem pretty entrenched here. Thoughts?

A symbol? What now? I'm not a symbol, I'm a people.

[Pendulum]

A symbol? What now? I'm not a symbol, I'm a people.

Yeah. Yeah I know that goes. We all do.

I like you now, though, since you used the word "nawmean." I've been trying to get a permutation of that kickstarted here for quite a while.

[Enizzle]

People don't use "nawmean"? That's heinous. It's probably one of my favorite words.

[Pendulum]

Freelz, m'ninja! Bought time we had some true posters in here, namene?

[Blackhound]

some people on here still post there, others are banned (including a guy who was on iridium for 7 years)

[Enizzle]

So, I'm trying to gauge interest here. Is this a fight worth fighting, or are people just burned out and done? Cause I'm still relatively young where it concerns mtgs, and I'm righteously pissed at what could easily be considered peanuts to some of the more tenured individuals I see in here. But, I am the best there is at what I do, so all I really need is info and some names. But, I could be totally wrong and get my ass banned forever too, so....
