TO ALL CLAN WARS REPS
First of all I wish to thank everyone who made the smooth running of yesterday's event possible, we had next to no delay getting games started and it's appreciated.
Please can you remind your teams of the rules eXodus has governing acceptable behaviour. While I understand that sometimes a game, or things you see in chat, can be frustrating this does not give cause for players to use terms such as "retarded" in the chat or live interviews. By participating in this event you are representing both your wider clan and eXodus eSports, and so we ask that you maintain a level of professionalism throughout. Per the rules any complaints or concerns should be directed to event staff.
Thank you for your time.
Quitch

I wrote:recoil passed on to me your latest message to the clan contacts, and I have a question for you. Did you notice that Zaphod said "screw them" at some point, directed to the players in the chat who were trashing me and my friends?
I don't mean to put Zaphod in hot water over this: the man is awesome and his kindness and generosity towards us have been astonishing and are almost reason enough to continue participating, even if the event itself were not as awesome as it is, merely so as to not let him down. All I mean to say is that "the cross" that you said I should get off the other day is not something I hallucinated. It is simply the truth that people hold me to a much higher standard of conduct than they do anyone else, simply because they don't like me. Everyone likes Zaphod, so when he says that we should "screw them" no one bats an eye. But when I say something similar, everyone falls on me to eat me alive. And then it is only natural for me to resent being told to be more "professional" by people who fail to hold themselves to the same exacting standards as they are trying to impose on me. And where does this entire cycle of resentment begin? It didn't begin with me, and it sure as hell didn't begin with Zaphod. It began with the retarded viewers, who have no idea what it is they are watching, or how to properly respond to it without making utter asses of themselves. It is their misconduct which provoked my misconduct and Zaphod's, and not the other way around.
Anyway, I am not suggesting you are doing anything wrong, or that you should change anything. I just had to get this out. I will censor myself from now on, or I'll just sent recoil or someone else to do the interviews, as I'd been doing up to now (and for precisely this reason). The problem is that the other guys do not know as much as I do about what we are doing, so if you want the most interesting interviews and the sharpest answers you'll need me to do them. Otherwise I can just send Qpo again to tell you how hot our girlfriends are or something.

I wrote:Moreover, I resent the fact that your obvious scolding of me went out to all the clan contacts (all of whom know exactly who you are referring to), but my reply to that is going only to you. If I post it in the Clan Wars thread people will call me an asshole. So what choice do I have to get out my side of the issue? I have no choice, but to swallow this down and say nothing.
You had already sent a message to me, and I had already replied that I am sorry and I wouldn't repeat my mistake. Was it so necessary to forward this message to everyone else too?
So Zaphod's remark was not professional, my remark was not professional, and your handling of the situation was not professional either. We are all in the same boat (maybe because none of us are really professionals?), but in the end only I end up coming off as the "bad, unprofessional guy"... to your retarded viewers.
Anyway. Not all viewers are retarded, and the game and your events are awesome, so I'll try to think of these and forget about my boiling resentment.

I wrote:Actually, we are withdrawing. I am not going to post anything in the Clan Wars thread so you can handle it any way you see fit. And I am fairly sure I will be banned shortly from this forum, so I probably wouldn't be able to do it anyway. All the best to you and your friends with your endeavors with Exodus.

I wrote:And whoever keeps deleting my second misnomers thread, you can delete it now and I won't be remaking it. I was just being annoyed by your shitty moderation and didn't have another way to vent my frustration. I am this close to posting porn or something. Just push that goddamn ban button and release me from this goddamn torment already.

Quitch wrote:Clan Wars does not have a withdrawal mechanism, so the only option would be for The Cult to not play their games, which would lead to them forfeiting said games. Failure to attend would also mean that The Cult would not be eligible to enter season 2 as I don't want to waste the time of people at eXodus working on organising things for clans that won't see their commitments through to the end.
I recommend you sleep on it.
I wrote:Can we at least not do the interviews? I don't want to read the forum, or the Twitch stream, or have any other kind of interaction with the PA community apart from on the battlefield. Is this possible?
Quitch wrote:That we can do.
I wrote:Okay. Let's give it another shot then.
I wrote:My legitimate thread remains locked because I am being systematically harassed by this forum's moderators: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/misn ... ber.67429/
Hateful trolling posts are not being removed while my replies to them are being removed.
Unless this situation is fixed within 24 hours, I will start posting porn in the main forum until you have no choice but to ban me. I might even get my entire clan to start doing this.
All I am asking for is for the moderators to either do their job properly or ban me. I hate having to resort to such petty means to get you to act like decent human beings, but I will if I have to.
