RANT: what people can get away with

[owenator]

So, I'm totally pissed. Why? Well, I've been called a cheater before - no justification, and was eventually cleared of it. Even though I didn't know the person, nor did I ever play with him, I was still called a cheater because I had apparently played an opponent of his and he thought I purposely blew the game. Then, I had someone who called me a child molester simply because of my avatar. Lastly, I recently had a 6 man standard sequential Feudal game with the fog of war setting ON, and because I possessed the most territories (2 castles + 1 village) and the remaining 2 players were weak, they proposed a truce in the game chat. Fine, I'm okay with that...BUT, the one player who I was about to eliminate advertises my location. So, in all cases I've sent my concerns to the admin and they basically brushed it off. You know what? I'm not fine with that. So, if all these people can get away with this and I suffer as a result of no action....then I say this to the admins: go stick it up your butts, you lazy douchebags.

People get wrongly accused of cheating all of the time, and what happened with your feudal game, also happens frequently. You got cleared of cheating and I mean, it was only one game of Feudal...go set up some more and try to win those. Complaining about trivial things like that really gets you no where. Just try to enjoy the site without turning something small into a huge problem.

What exactly did you want the admins/mods to do? If they two players announced and alliance in game chat and decided to team up, well that's part of the game. Yeah it sucks when you were winning, but again...things like that happen.

Anyway, try to look past these things and put those players on the ignore list and you won't have to deal with them again.

i don't even have to read his post to know that i agree with THE OWENATOR!!! his name alone gives him more cred in the forums than most other users even dream of having. to me, what THE OWENATOR says is GOSPEL!!! bow down before the greatness that is THE OWENATOR!!! again, i don't know what he posted, but i agree with him 100 percent, and nothing can be done to sway me from my beliefs!!-0

Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum! I smell a multi-lish man!

I like to have a good cry sometimes, too. The tears melt all the pain away.

[owenator]

agreed...however, it was simply a rant. I'm over it because they (admins) wouldn't do anythign about it. Oh well.

I wholly agree. Anyone with the name "owen" would not only imply that we are simply born with all natural talent and unmatched good looks, but whatever we say is ALWAYS right.

hey dear, simple, i use the foe list. Why dont you ? One player can disturb you only one time if you use foe list.
Put them in there, you then will never even hear from em.
Just ignore them kermit. Have fun, dont worry be happy.

but if you look at the amount of players that are on cc then its still annoying

So, let me get this straight - You were cleared of being a multi, then two people openly (and legally) formed an alliance against you and this is the the admin's fault?

We openly and clearly state that alliances are allowed as long as they are not secret, so you're right - we would brush that one off Leave the user a poor rating for "fair play", add them to your foes list and PM Glide about xiGAMES and you wont ever have to play a game where there are alliances again.

As to clearing you of being a multi, you're welcome.

Now, as to the child molester comment, that's something we would look into. Feel free to PM me directly with a link to the comment and if it's against our guidelines I'd be happy take the stick out of my bum and use it to smack someone instead.

(and for the record, it's usually better to PM me if you have a problem with the mods or admins than to call them lazy douchebags. Almost the whole team here are volunteers doing this because they enjoy the community. Telling them they are lazy douchebags for helping out isn't going to get you much help in the future...just an FYI )

twill has spoken

[owenator]

No, I never stated that it was the admin's fault. I stated that I had sent a message to the admin saying that I wanted the game null and void. Specifically, the game was mine to be won. 6 players in total. Feudal war, standard sequential. Fog of war: yes. 3 players remaining including myself. The two remaining players are lesser ranked than me, and at the time I was a major. So one dude, decides to not only request an alliance he blurts out my position. I can understand if this was a team game and one team was completely dominating but in my opinion when it comes to a 6-man game with the fog of war on, I hardly think that this should be considered acceptable.

Now, as to your sarcastic question...I'm not too sure I understand your point Twill. Thus, I'm not to sure what your analogy or point is in your example.

Wow, brushing them off, give them a superficial rating, sending a message and then blocking them? I've already done all of that. After winning about 100 points, I can assure you that whoever won, could hardly care.

Lastly, calling the admins "lazy douchebags" was MY opinion and right to say so. I've given enough example's where I've contacted the admins and it was simply ignored. So, instead of dwelling on it...I simply posted a rant. If you're offended, I'm sorry you feel that way but it was directed at the same person who's handled all of my complaints and concerns. Thus, generalizing my comments. Additionally, my comment hardly puts a dent in the situation, there was no help to begin with so what difference would it make what I had said?

amen, owen!!! say it again!!! i truly enjoyed your response to the admin's post. we all knew you were ranting, we all know and love when the owenator pops up in the GD for one of your semi-meltdowns!!! you have to excuse some of the mods/admins that only poke around the GD every now and then and lay the law down where it isn't needed. fight the good fight owen!!!-0

[owenator]

Wow! Why does everything you write sound so good? Oh yes, I remember....anyone with the name "owen" in it, simply means perfection in every way. Yet again, you are right owen. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has the constant stress of being so perfect and everyone else is jealous. Amen to US.

lol, two owens that are this witty? must be multis, lmfao....

and why the whining? its just a game, get over it, the thing about blurting out positions, is that it can always be a lie. its part of fog games. i tell people lies all the time in those games, it usually works in my favor, especially when there are two people forming an alliance against me.

and i cant think of any reason to expect the mods to nullify the game, if they wont nullify games that are won by people that are actually cheating, theyre not gonna nullify this one just because you whine about it enough.

[owenator]

What's wrong with you people? I SPECIFICALLY wrote the subject heading "RANT". If I wanted to whine, then I would stated that I wanted something done about a situation. I never wanted a solution to my previous problems. But you obviously have no idea how to read, so I'll leave it that. And you used the word "whine" more than once, which makes you even more boring. Again, if you had some kind of common sense you'd choose some better words. Otherwise, I'd say you're no different then what I had previously called the admins.

Rant:means to speak or shout at length in a wild, impassioned way. It can also be a noun. In blogs, a rant is a written personal complaint.
