    CLOSED — Cedric's "Virtual Office"

    Hey, Mia. I know about what happened with you and I've always respected your dedication and work for this community. However, what you're failing to see here is that my perspective (or anyone else's) isn't exactly the same as yours which is why it becomes a chain of misunderstandings. I don't know anyone else's experiences so clear communication is necessary to establish facts and opinions. I agree that there has been a certain level of corruption within the staff ranks but I also know that there have been constant efforts to eliminate it. As with any other form of organisation, it can't be eradicated. As long as there are humans, there will always be a chance of fallibility. But again, this can be minimised. As you have experienced for yourself, the fight against corruption doesn't come cheap and more often than not, innocent people get caught in the crossfire. Note that I do no encourage such situations, I'm just stating that it's impossible for them to not happen at all. The person we're talking about has obviously two faces. While here he acts self righteous trying to get justice(with only circumstantial evidence, I might add); in PM, he is downright abusive and refuses to understand any point put forward. It is due to this hypocrisy that I made my previous post and not because I'm against the idea of bringing out faults in the organisation. Hope you understand.

    Well, I don't have a personal vendetta and I usually wouldn't have done this but I can't stand hypocrisy. Mc2000 is nothing more than a narrow minded, abusive player who's trying to make a case against moderators where there isn't one (or at least, that's the face he's chosen to show me). You can't ask for respect if you yourself are disrespectful. I will not go so far as to post the PM he sent me, but as far as I am concerned, he doesn't deserve any consideration whatsoever.
  6. Yeah, sure... I'd move to Canada or Sweden the first chance I get -_-

    , I'm not sure why you're posting those issues here. They belong in Problems and Solutions since they're a problem whose solution you want... :huh:
  8. Haha, it actually didn't start out as that but I improvised :P... That's actually what Shorts is all about.

    You actually get one week premium of you don't log in for 30(1?) days.
  11. Well, quite frankly, it was a heavy strain reading that font in that colour. I can't seem to understand, is this a review of the update or is this an emphasis on how important your opinion is?

    Shorts: Proceed with caution

    :excl: Disclaimer: The author will disregard any claims of nose/head injuries caused as a result of reading the following article. Shorts: Proceed with caution As her head lay on the tarmac, she realized what a fool she'd been. Of course, things turned out the way they did. It was tomfoolery to leave things to chance. But it was too late. She was vaguely aware of a crowd gathering around her and spitting out mumbo jumbo. She gave a sigh - or at least what could be considered a sigh, in her mind. Her life began flashing before her eyes. Back to when she was a wee child - Ah! Those were the days! She was free as a butterfly, or as free as her conservative mother would allow her to be. Her father, on the other hand, was carefree and easygoing. His outlook on life was perhaps a bit ahead of his time. He had worked as a safety inspector for most of his life. It almost seemed ironic that her daughter should be laying there like she was. She wondered if it was the obstinacy she showed in her youth that was making her pay now. Could it be? After all, a big bunch of people believe in karma so, could it be? Nah! It had to be the inauspicious arrangement of the planets that had put her there. Yes! That had to be it! Her hands twitched as she reassured herself that her rosary beads were safe. It had to be Saturn! It was all her daughter's fault. She had warned her not to buy anything new that month but the younger generation hardly ever seemed to pay attention to these things. She just had to go and buy a new TV! The look of indignation on her face was apparent. But it didn't matter. Nothing mattered. Suddenly, she felt a wave of peace. She wasn't angry. She wasn't sad or hurt. In fact, she felt nothing but peace. She felt the calling; it was time. She closed her eyes gently. As I pushed through the crowd and reached her, the situation had become considerably chaotic. I shook her slightly and she opened her eyes with a jerk. I helped her up and handed her purse and bag of groceries, which she accepted like an automaton. Her face seemed to say, 'What world is this? What are you?' "You slipped on some garbage over there, Ma'am. This is a very busy road. Proceed with caution."

    No matter what Cedric says, you're just going to twist his words to fit your narrow preconceived, albeit inaccurate, ideas, aren't you? Ask yourself, what if you friend commits a crime and is put in jail? What would you do?

    :excl: Disclaimer: Read further only if you're certain that next 6 minutes will be futile. The author is not responsible for any nose injuries caused due to reaction of reading this article. SHORTS I keep staring at the blank screen. My eyes feel itchy. Has it been so long already? All kinds of thoughts are running around in my brain, unfiltered; each trying to take the form of words. How intriguing this process is! I wonder how animals think. Does a cat think in 'meows'? Does it even think? Wait... What does 'think' mean? What are thoughts, after all? Communicating ideas with oneself (self-slap) Chuck that! Focus! Need to focus. Ideas... I need ideas. I should probably ask others' opinion. Ah, group chat! Such a nice invention. The guy deserves a billion dollars. ... ... No reply. Sigh! Looks like everyone is busy. What now? A guide sounds nice. But, what kind of guide? Nah.. Never mind. I could never write a guide. Even if I could, I seriously doubt anyone would read a guide by a person with beak in his name. Is that a wasp outside the window? Go away! Shooo! I'm deathly afraid of you even though I pretend in front of others I'm not!! Wait, why do I do that, again? Isn't it a natural human instinct to protect yourself from a potentially fatal, in this case, wasp? Why do I have to 'man up'?! I wonder who thought of that phrase. Could it have evolutionary roots when males were the Hunter/Farmers while females were in charge of their respective progeny? Hmm... Then, do people also say 'Woman up' to a mother who's unable to shush the crying baby? How come I've never heard anyone say 'woman up' to my mother? Possibly because I was the crying baby myself. (Self kick) Note that for future. For now, Focus! Ideas... Ideas.. Why aren't there any ideas when I am in want of one? Is that psychology playing reverse psychology? Huh.. Sounds cruel. Almost too cruel to be true. Thoughts.. Thoughts.. Thoughts.. Too many thoughts. Is a thought an idea? If it is, then why do I seem to have an excess of thoughts but lack of ideas? How does this thing work, exactly? We should have a manual it, in my opinion. We always have a manual for complicated things. That reminds me, there was no manual in the Juicer-grinder box mom bought last week. How could that be? Do they think I'm born with the knowledge of operating a juicer grinder? Sigh! Some companies nowadays... They'll do anything to maximise profits. I wonder how it must be in early 90's when you had actual leg-space in airplanes. Did they have a meeting one day to decide how much they could compromise on leg space? I can't even imagine how that meeting must have gone. "Sir, our engineers have determined that if every passenger hands over their legs to us and carries one bag with them, we can add up to 50 rows in one plane!" "Sir, actually I was wondering, why don't we add seats in the cargo hold? We can have upto 200 rows this way and we can charge double for transferring luggage through a cargo plane" *cue music* everyone dances while it rains money What's this? Laptop shut down?! Oh.. It's just gone into sleep mode.. Whew. ... Waw, beaku, congratulations. You've managed to stare at a blank screen for 30 minutes. OMG! What's that devil face?!! What in the name of XP is that horrific thing on my face?! When was the last time I shaved? I'm pretty sure it was last week.. Could be two weeks. Sigh.. I doubt my poor shaver will be able to do anything about this forest. (self smack) FOCUS! Laptop is on! Hands in keyboard... Now type! What? Arghhhh!! Wait... Wasn't I writing some or the other kind of series sometime back? I could take a look into that. But I don't even remember the characters. Would it be any good writing a sequel in this state? Nah! I wouldn't be doing the series justice. It deserves a good plot and a good ending. Wait, did Titanic have a good ending? Eh.. Pretty debatable question. On one hand, you get a nice little love story with a tragic end. People dig that stuff. Huh, 'dig'! Interesting slang. Slang itself stands for Short Language. Intriguing word! It's like self aware. That reminds me of Deadpool. Gosh, that movie was superb. I swear I'll rage if they don't add Deadpool into X-Men series at one point. He's probably the only reason why half the population knows what '4th wall break' means. 4th wall break? Hmm.... Therein lies a problem. What if we have a self aware character in a book? He doesn't have three walls around him. Would we call it 'breaking the page'? But what if he's on more than one page?! 'Book cover break'? 'Book cover except pages 123, 603 and 864'? Stupidity at its best! Why do such stupid thoughts occur? Is it an intentional process to dwell on these stupid thoughts? What does stupid even mean? Who defines what's stupid and what's not? The boundary line is real blurry. Boundaries... Boundaries. Why does *an unnamed American celebrity* need a wall on his boundaries? Is that stupid? What happened to the last guy who decided to build a giant wall? Do I know his name? Guess not. Did that giant wall help his or any other empire? Nope! Sigh.. I guess it's human nature to build walls. We create walls around our lands, our homes and even ourselves. I wonder how it would be like to live in a world without walls. I think I bought some Kwality walls ice cream yesterday. I don't know why mom gave a huge lecture on why no on eats strawberry ice cream. She probably has finished half the brick herself. Les femmes! Is that even proper French? I see reading Poirot has had effects on my thoughts too. Hmm.. Poirot. I could write a nice little detective story. But can I really? I don't think any plot I can come up with can be original in any way. Man is really an unoriginal animal. Dang this writers block. Wait... Didn't some other guy asked about writer's block few days ago? What was it *Le mult admin* answered? It was probably something about not over thinking or something. Chuck it! I'm too lazy to scroll back up. In any case, an advice is only as good as the person receiving it. I don't really have a good karma as far as listening to advice is concerned. Why is it so hot here? Screw these tropics! I'm gonna live in Antarctica few years from now. Pretty sure penguins don't disturb you in middle of the day to ask for sugar. My skin is practically leaking. I should probably take a bath.. Hell, why am I wearing jeans?! I should change into....... Ah!! BINGO!!! I've got it..... " Shorts "

    I agree. What I meant was that it's not that if you're a mod/admin, you should be enforcing rules here and there. You should follow rule even if you're a normal player.

    Could you explain more? What exactly do you mean by 'turned into Tanki'? Also, the forum is divided into separate subsections already. You can provide Your feedback in that subsection. Feel free to share any thoughts you might have. :)

  21. He's become busy with real life stuff so he's not around much.
  22. Calm down man. You saw the video, didn't you? You liked it, you wanna share it; good enough. Why do you want it to be shared through official channels? There are many events/contests/guides which are limited to a single community and that's not wrong. It's really quite pointless for a German video to be shared with English community. You're free to share that video all you like but please don't act like the administration is at fault for not sharing it officially. Maybe there are plans to make a tutorial for all alterations when they are released and not just the few we have right now. In any case, I'm sure we will have some sort of guide/tutorial for it. Our Newspaper team has done a commendable job of writing guides for the upcoming rebalance, mid rankers handbook and a lot more. Other communities haven't necessarily got the opportunity to read and make use of such excellent guides. There's no point trying to complaint. No matter how much you try, each community will have its own minor differences and for good reasons too. Apart from that, we're all part of the same project and no one intends to discriminate anyone. Cheers :)
  23. TX Rico is damn OP and was recently nerfed (after which it is still OP) so Idk what you're talking about. :mellow:
