Yes, I was pretty proud about that part. I thought it was pretty funny! I can imagine Eldar at a KISS concert!
Very amusing! ?

I don't care if I know who's doing it (it's not important), but it sure wouldn't hurt either. We're not the only group of Epic players out there, but we're probably the crankiest! Why are those least-qualified in experience with the game in all its editions or lack the patience or personality to be a credible open moderator or leader the ones in charge? |
You know, I don' think that PG is the least-qualified person. He has been playing the game since SM-2/TL (or at least he told me that before) and he must own a ton of lead.
I'd really like this thread to steer away from any personal attacks on PG; he doesn't deserve that (and neither do any of us!).
I am very disappointed with the way that he (or Epic_moderator if they're different people) is running the show.
That's where my pissy streak stems from regarding Epic-A. It may have gone "far," but it hasn't gone farther because Jervis didn't take the initiative to really organize the playtest forum and its subsequent feedback. Leaving leadership to a person with an inane high number of posts is NOT the way to do it. To be frank, it would have been better served having no moderators at all than the way it is currently handled.
I don' think I blame Jervis. That guy has a lot on his platter if he trying to run the whole Specialist Games show. I just hope he learns from this experience. A lot of people with a high level of maturity write him like Dafrca. I would have picked one of the mature people (Not to imply that PG is immature. I don't think that.) that wrote me like Dafrca. Of course, it's easy to say things with hind sight.
I realize that you and others on this forum are on that board, but honestly, whatever good points you seem to put up, a lot of them get drowned out by less "coherent" voices. Granted it depends what each individual is willing to "handle" it, but for my particular personality and way of doing things, I see lots of wasted effort there. Of course, that's a matter of taste and opinion.
Sure, some of the effort is drowned out by the white noise, but that's life.
I can live with it as long as the worst of it is taken care of. I'm starting to think that the "worst of it" isn't presently being taken care of at the E-A Playtest boards.
I don't have a problem with moderators having an active presence, I dont think that is the problem since Cybershadow has an active presence and I don't think ANYONE can make an argument that he is intrusive or unfair (quite the contrary in my view!).
CS is definitely the "model" of a good moderator. Since I became a more active moderator, we communicate a lot about potential problems and keep our eyes open. He remains "laissez faire," but still takes care of things.
I think that Epic40k.co.uk is a very well moderated board. I can't remmber the last time we saw a flame war here or someone's feelings get hurt. ?
The problem in this case is purely that of an individual's personality and how it is obviously "ticking people off." In that particular case, perhaps a moderator with no direct participation is best.
I'm still not sure about "anonymous moderators." I'd rather have a person who has no problem being who is and is proud and happy to be a moderator.
A moderator who has to hide behind a false identity has some serious shortcomings as far as I can tell.
I agree that we should follow a "no cursing" policy on these boards. I for one LOVE cussing, but will go no farther than "crap" as my naughty word.
That's mighty big of you, Primarch!
You know what the first step towards recovery is...
Don't you? LOL
?I promise that next week I will open my last six-pack of "GW goodwill" and use it enthusiastically. ?
You make it sound like taking bitter medicine.
Maybe you should have some hard liquor with it?
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Oh... my... GOD!!! Primarch, when are you going to get it and realize that Epic-40k is a good game!?!?! I kid, I kid. ? Seriously, Epic-40k is cool, just a different animal. I know you aren't going to agree with me here, but pointlessly arguing is my style... I actually started posting my favorite detachments on my site. ? Why? I DON'T KNOW! No one cares! I've noticed that. You've been much more restrained that I've come to expect. |
Oh man, Maksim, I'm glad you didn't spit out something like 'more mature.' Hahaha.
I usually don't pick fights, so this just means I haven't really gotten pissed yet. Besides, I know the Geek will delete my posts and I don't want to crash the site in a fit of anger.
By the way, Gandalf, avoid the profanity, please. I changed your inappropriate language to the word "lamos" instead.
Okay, if you are going to edit me, we'll have to come to some compromise as "lamos" doesn't work for me.
How about if I forget to watch my language you can replace it with... damn!
I don't know any lesser offensive words... hmm...
I'll have to get back to you. ?
I think you have a really poor attitude regarding the "Epic establishment."
I don't know if he does. Maksim. ?
Remember when Epic Mag came out along with AT-II?
I hated AT-II, because I didn't want a separate system for Titans in my Epic game, nor was I interesting in playing War Machines without infantry and tanks. Anyway, it was poorly done, not really playtested, and after a few issues, Jervis admitted he threw it out there just to give Epic some attention, since it was in the gutter. ?
I sometimes feel the same way about what is going on with Epic-A. There are some things Jervis won't bend on that the fans seem to really want, so I feel 90% of this is Jervis alone and the rest is minor stuff he doesn't care about changing, just to give Epic-A some marketing. For some reason AT-II really annoyed me, and I would have rather seen new army lists and stuff.
I've noticed that PG is from Canada while the "Epic-moderator" is from the USA, which means that if PG is the "Epic-moderator" that he has either slipped and typoed his home or is deliberately misleading us.
Of course. He knows he is not popular as the moderator.
Should moderators be members of the board or "anonymous" entities?
I don't care, they usually piss me off regardless.
I'm going to have to take the time to read the posts made by this "Sword!"
Yeah, you both (Legion-4 and Swords) would have had a lot to add to the game had you both posted comments early on. ?
See ya.

I think the "Epic_moderator" (or PG if they're the same) deleted my post "Banter and chatter TWO," which was reply to his post "Banter and chatter," which is locked and can't be responded to. Okay, if you are going to edit me, we'll have to come to some compromise as "lamos" doesn't work for me. How about if I forget to watch my language you can replace it with... damn! I don't know any lesser offensive words... hmm... I'll have to get back to you. ? |
May I suggest "doo doo head?"
My roommate caught himself using the s-word (the one for excrement) in front of his mother and switched to "doo doo head." It's very amusing, but it sure beats sounding like a heathen (but you'd probably take pride in that knowing you...
). I don't care, they usually piss me off regardless.
If I haven't told you, Gandalf, you're my favorite anarchist! ?
They used to tell my I had a problem with authority when I was in the military, I can't IMAGINE what they would tell you!
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
