What exactly is the deal with Unorthodox?

[asleepathewheel]

I don't think I've ever seen someone so bent out of shape about something as that guy. Its just a game.


did someone here actually report him, or is he just grasping at straws. And what was reported anyway? Did people actually tell him to edit his posts?


And Sir Ralph, you really are getting too much fun at his expense, really. I think the guy nearly had a coronary after your posts.

What is his problem anyway? Does it deal with the pre-bob war negotiations between us? Whatever it is, its really affecting him.

[Shiber]

He tends to get emotional in general, but I don't know what threw him off the edge.
I, for one, didn't "report" him or anything of that sort.

[Harovan]

Granted, I was having a little fun with him being completely out of shape, but when I saw that he's really pretty darn godawful mad, I promised to cease and desist and will keep it so.

[Harovan]

What concerns the posts he claims to be reported, it's a complete mystery for me. But I remember Ghengis editing his posts too, and when he was asked why, he said he was told so by the mods. But Ghengis I understand, he really insulted the RP team, by saying they're incompetent players.

Like it was said in the public, it looks like a plot of panagish dimensions, without actually blaming panag, but he's known for reporting lots of posts. I can't say I'm without suspections, but I will hold my breath, because I can't prove anything.

By the way, best I liked the "threatening accepting of gifts". At this point I nearly spilled a full cup of coffee and almost pissed in my chair, so that my roommate raised his eyebrows and said, that I must really like the code I write.

Unortho views the roleplay and public domain as "his" part of the game as much as most of GS views the actual Civ 3 aspect to be their "game."

In a way (bad analogy, I know) it's as though GS is trying to "steal" his part of the game that he enjoys. It would be like telling GS to just 'wing it' while playing the turns and not being allowed to put any thought into anything.

Yes, I already said, bad analogy, bear with me.

No, I totally buy that analogy. Like at the beginning if we were told we only had 3 hours a turn or something. Imagine Nathan et al dealing with that! haha.

I guess we have to take from this game what we can. Still, he needs to relax a bit (the same could be said for others as well )

The worst of his mistakes is to believe, that we treat fun stuff like poems and stories as insults and try to forbid them. This is simply not true, but he fails to see the difference between fun stuff and personal attacks. OPD's reaction on Darekills misplaced, but harmless poem may be led him to believe this. I tried to picture it as bad poetry, which is harmless, but hardly enjoyable (which is crap, I know myself, but better than to condemn it as insult). This way I tried to lead the discussion to another subject, even though I attracted quite a part of the fire on myself, rightfully as I must admit.

Frankly, if HE would just shut up, I think there would be a whole lot less animosity in that forum, he only posts vitriol. The last post of his is just a disaster waiting to happen. Good luck ralph, if you respond to it.

[Harovan]

I don't. Why would I respond to the post of a moron, or even read it?

[Cort Haus]

I haven't read any of it, and don't intend to. Let them howl into the night, I say - no one except panag is listening.

Ah, you are a much stronger man than I.

[Harovan]

Somebody on Apolyton had in his sig: "Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you to his level and beat you there with experience". Sounds true, no?

Or I.

Don't worry Arrian, you hit the right tone. You sound like a mom lulling a mentally retarded child, who despite having been naughty can not be blamed for it.

Btw, I'm sure this thread isn't dead yet. I will chime in tomorrow and respond to other level-headed posters. It will piss him off, why I completely ignored his troll, but that's the trick.
