Is anyone from here going to Weasel Moot VIII? I heard a rumor two guys from Toronto are going to the Cubs game.

Leaving after all games are finished
Just wanted to let everyone know I'll be leaving webdip after all my ongoing games are finished. Some already know, but I wanted to put it out there so everyone knows the reason I am not participating in Mafia or live games any longer.

Good physics interview
I suspect the following interview with eminent cosmologist George Ellis (coauthor with Stephen Hawking of "The Large-Scale Structure of Spacetime") is so good that it will be enjoyed even by those who suspect I am linking it only because of his religious views.

What the hell happened, guys? Is Draug actually gone, or is he just "gone" like usual? Do I need to pretend to miss Fasces? Did we lose anyone else? Is it all 2WL's fault?

A Farewell To Draugnar
This is meant as a farewell to one of my oldest friends on the site. In the over 5 years we knew each other, we played in many games together (when he managed to get above 0 D) and got in countless arguments. He had many flaws and was the single biggest headache to deal with out of anyone while I was a mod, but he will be missed.

Draugnar taught me a lot. He has a vast knowledge on many subjects and when we debated he was never obnoxious or rude to me. Perhaps he reserved that for others, the forum will not be quite the same without him, maybe those who wanted a more sterile site will be happy, those who love a good argument will miss him.

Fasces, for some reason points don't always get reset to zero when you're banned.

Draugnar had the ability to be a pleasant, stand up guy, but he allowed that part of himself to get overshadowed by his over the top raging. That he talked his way out of here doesn't surprise me.

@ abge: I felt horribly for you during the days when you kept getting pulled back in to moderating, just to act as Draug's personal baby sitter/psycologist. Job would have been jealous of your patience.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)

When you are banned the site auto sets your points to 0, if someone takes over one of the games you left the points of your buy in are returned to you. Same as the donator badge, a player cannot be banned if they have any special status, so the site auto removes the special status of the badge and then bans them.

Kestas was the only person every to deal with donations, I don't have a clue what anyone has donated or even what amounts equal what colors.

@ abgemacht: There's no need to be melodramatic. If Draugnar had died it would hardly be necessary to ban him from the site as well.

And if you want further proof of his bad intentions in terms of his claims to have been planning an SQL-injection-based attack on WebDip, which was part of the reason for his ban, here is a screenshot from the vDip forums, of a comment posted by Draugnar's vDip account:

In my ongoing PM discussions with Draugs vdip account:
"The SQL injections were something I looked into but not with the intent to damage the site, only with the intent to post bogus bullshit to the forums under other users (mods) names. But kestas has it pretty locked down."
Fasces349 (0 DX)
27 Jul 14 UTC
Also he was banned for allegedly committing a DDoS attack, not an SQL injection, so that's not really proof.

I have yet to see proof of Draug's alleged DDoS attack

bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
27 Jul 14 UTC
I'm largely going to stay out of this because at this point I have significantly less information than the rest of the moderators do, but attacks on SQL databases are no joke. Databases like that can store a lot of confidential and sensitive data, and Draug is more than capable of doing harm even if he had to resort to a blind injection because of kestas' defenses against such attacks. Others may have more to this story than I do, but even the threat of an SQL attack, credible or not (this one happens to be), is more than enough to warrant some serious punishment.

Putting things into perspective we have people on this site that will write pages and pages justifying children being blown up on a beach .... no problem there apparently, someone says that someone did something to a website but produces no evidence it ever happened and they are banned .... is there anyone left who can take a reality check here and come up with a a common sense conclusion, it's nonsense.

Reduced sentence because of large contribution.
I won't pretend that I thought of this out of nowhere, I won't even pretend to be able to objectively judge the situation, but I want to mention an option and a potential policy change that could be better for everyone. It's a compromise. In Draugnar's case, I propose taking his medal and/or keeping him banned for a few months or perhaps even a year as a sentence, but letting him come back after that. He's not like blankflag. He contributed in many ways.

Didn't seem fair to hijack the Doda 2 thread to talk about a competitor game.

I play LoL, but I'm a newb, just hit level 20. Screenname is Redwardian. Been playing quite a bit this week, as several free champions appeal to me.
