[OPD]

This was talked about before but never really happened,

What do people think to one of GS joining the RP private forum and one of RP joining this here? So that we both know whats going on with each other.

Does this need to have a blackball/whiteball vote?

[Octavian X]

I've always thought this was a good idea, to promote co-opeation, and to ensure they don't get any rebellious ideas after we've won.

[asleepathewheel]

So BigFree wants to join our forum?

I wouldn't probably have a problem with that. I don't think we've said anything negative about them, really, maybe something about togas months ago...

Should we clarify in the open forum if this is within the rules or not?

That's probably a good idea. Its not like we can be slick about this and hide the double membership, the shield will be there for everyone to see.

[vulture]

It is possible to hide the double membership, after a fashion. Create a new account, and make it a member of both teams. Never post in any public forums with this account, and no-one will ever see a member with both shields.

This is a double login of course, and against forum rules, so may be zapped by Ming.

I notice that BigFree has started a similar poll in the public forum on whether allies should be allowed access to each other's saves or not.

MasterZen currently has the ND sheild showing, whether he has access to their forum or is just using it as a means to show allegance is questionable, as is the suspicious number of people in the GoW roster who have no posts at al.
How could they have become members without first posting a request to become a member, or without posting on poly anywhere else ever?

edit - scratch that last bit, other teams, including us, have people on the roster who have never posted ever..

[vulture]

probably people creating fake logins to see if they can join another team, but being stymied by the requirement of being approved. Requests to become a membet can be done via PM though, so posts not necessarily required.

[Arrian]

If it's done, it needs to be done openly.

BigFree's thread was different - he was talking about access to the save, but I'm afraid that by bring up such an obviously out-of-bounds subject, an attempt to clear dual forum membership is now doomed to fail.

I could be wrong, of course...

[asleepathewheel]

I agree. I don't know what he was thinking. It appeared as if basically one team could play both saves, which is way way over the line.

It would actually be the same as if someone was a member of two teams at the same time. Not acceptable either...

well I guess thats the end of that then

although perhaps now we can be more open about RP, we could always abandon them to fight their own battles.

[asleepathewheel]

oddly enough I just noticed that MZ is wearing the ND pyramid.

Is that just for show, should that be investigated? hmm. There is not an ND who is "in" Gow. Of couirse, all that's misleading, as ND does the vast majority of its work offsite.

[Arrian]

Could MZ even read their forum?

[Cort Haus]

Was a conclusion reached here? I'd say no to RP access for reasons of sovereignty, security and possible embarrasment.

If there are communication problems there must be another way. How can we openly discuss our team's objectives when we know another team has access all areas save the save?
