Noooooooooooooo ....... I never realised he could speak Japanese, you always find out this stuff when it is too late !!

The mods' intention of attracting more players is going well.

I think I'll be calling a mod meeting soon.

People who announce their departure in a dramatic fashion never stay away unfortunately.

Your going to ruin games because of bans? YOU SUCK!

How about ruining THREE games by banning a player because of forum activity.

*forum activity, claiming credit for crashing the site via a DDoS attack last year (which is illegal in most countries), and threatening to SQL inject the site.

Well, 4 maybe. But don't add to it.

Mods reaping the whirlwind!

Should people announcing their retirements be banned to make it stick? MIght as well delete their accounts, I'd guess.

Anyways I forced you into CD in your game. If you weren't serious just click the game link on your profile and it will rejoin it for you.

I thought official actions of this type had to be arranged via email with the mods, not on the forum?

Banned

"Banned by a moderator: multiple accounts of power abuse"

jmo has a bit of a hair trigger problem.

@dirge - please do not comment on my moderators' stamina in the sack. We thought this was a private matter and shouldn't be gossiped about.

I think Maniac is starting to take the joke that he owns diplomacy a bit too far, lol

^agree Fasces. It was funny but with everything that's going on today, feels in bad taste to pursue the joke this doggedly.

I'd just like to clear my chest; I've signed up to playdiplomacy.com

[email protected] was me and I discussed it directly with Kestas afterwards. It was to test the weakness of using a unofficial mod email (really it should be [email protected]). I've previously worked with Kestas on some security checks, which involved hacking the infrastructure of the site once (I think JMo knows about this) and a DDoS. So based on my knowledge of the site I'm very skeptical of Draugnar's "admission" and I think we all know that he is attention seeking. But there you go.

"I'd just like to clear my chest; I've signed up to playdiplomacy.com"
And there goes all my respect I had for you.

Have fun on PlayDiplomacy, get your credit card ready.

Thanks for the security "test"... if only we could trust the players with computer skills not to hack it when they get upset about something (*cough* blankflag draugnar *cough*).

The program I wrote to slowly divert all +1 to myself has been functioning great. Except I set the target to abgemacht by mistake...

I came from playdiplomacy.com ...... SYnapse please dont go there it is the USSR of diplomacy sites. A fancy exterior thats hides a corrupt and powerless interior. It's hard to find games and the Kremlin of a moderation staff there does nothing for the players except harass. They made my cousin stop playing. He hasn't played in like a year.

I started there too, and it was impossible to get game going. Never got to the forum, though. Was there for two weeks.

I may leave

Rancher - at this stage the 'JMO out' campaign needs definite leavers, not maybes.
The brothers (& sister) need to know, are you in or are you out?
"Viva la revolution"
It shows how bad things have got when people will openly admit to being members @PlayDiplomacy.net
Next thing we'll have people telling us that vDip is ok .... the end is nigh !!

Next thing we'll have people telling us that vDip is ok"
It is ok though...

WebDip Census sponsored survey on the recent issues revolving around the Krellin and Draug cases..

Wowza, serious drama.

And actually really enjoy PlayDiplomacy.com for different reasons then why i enjoy it here, it's just as quality a site as here. The variants are better here and i think more active players but they easily win on user interface and forum. It's kinda a push, i share my time on both.

Jurys are a bad idea for diplomacy, they'd just take up all of the mods time making it harder to ban real cheaters (multis)

"nd actually really enjoy PlayDiplomacy.com"
That's what makea you the village idiot

Bazinga!

Good one feces. ;)

The truth is out there....
"but they easily win on user interface and forum"
- The VillageIdiot
How do you Mods respond to that, not only is the forum better so is the GUI.
Heads need to roll at the top here, it's like foreign policy being run by the Democrats

He's challenging your leadership! Mutiny and insubordination can not be tolerated ... hang him from the yardarm!!!

So is the strategy to just make it such a goddamned headache to be a mod that they'll all quit that position and leave things unmoderated?

No the strategy is to make Draug,Krell & Maple mods, that is the rquivalent of lighting the blue touch paper ..... then stand well back

@ SYnapse:

"How about ruining THREE games by banning a player because of forum activity?"

You are always selective with the facts, aren't you? Let me highlight two important facts you've missed out:

Fact 1: Draugnar admitted that he was behind the previous DDoS attacks which caused site outages last year.

Fact 2:Draugnar stated, in PMs to several users including myself, that it was his intention to attack the site again, either with another DDoS or with an SQL injection based attack.

These two facts, irrespective of any forum activity, would be clear justification for banning.

Also, byebye, seeya, have a nice life, etc.

Hush, Jamie. SYnapse potentially buggering off to playdip is the one silver lining of this whole damn mess. Don't encourage him to come back and answer you.

Playdip might be good for Synapse. He may even win a game.

Ooooooh, burn!

But with 42 games and ZERO wins, the stats speak for themselves I suppose...

42 games, 0 wins and only 10 draws!

From SYnapse's posts (this thread and in general), I really think that he has a misplaced sense of self-importance.

You're right. Everyone else knows that I'm the important one around here. And our leader, Maniac, of course.

ALL HAIL MANIAC!!
