[quote author=RustInPeace link=topic=619.msg6314#msg6314 date=1330375183]<br />*The Board<br />[/quote]<br />you were lurking in #idlb long enough to know the current board was never a monolythical entity. in fact it&#039;s a bag of feral cats and during the final weeks of the offseason period we screamed at each other for longer hours than even jenova can troll #idl. it was a very [i]bitter[/i] experience and every vote was like a fucking caesarian section done live.<br /><br />you know what? i am pissed off by the board as well, but for different reasons. we were often required to spend countless hours refining the wording of rules instead of solving game-related matters, just so we could plug a &quot;loophole&quot; spotted by our resident lawyer mass. i used quotes because they&#039;d never be considered loopholes if we managed to agree on the most basic premise everyone in this fucking game should follow - [b]uphold the spirit of the league and gamesmanship, not the most absurdly literal phrasing of the rules.[/b] we&#039;re not american judicial system.<br /><br />[quote]<br />*Lackluster and bad maps<br />[/quote]<br />what is this supposed to mean? bad maps in the wad or bad maps in the schedule? the board only picks maps for the wad, and you can go suck my dick regading that. the past wads were worse and there&#039;s no way you can objectively argue against that. schedule is picked by bones and i actually like the parts you hate. i&#039;m not going to insult you over that like you do vice versa, because i have already learned the lesson - people have different tastes and you need to balance your selection to cater to all of them at least partially. you won&#039;t win this battle with any reasonable administration, because this is idl, not rustctf, sorry.<br /><br />[quote]<br />*Players&#039; needs and wants falling on deaf ears<br />[/quote]<br />i think i can relate, however you&#039;d need to be concrete on this one. of course we dismissed anything jenova had to say - he was there just to mock us and never play anyways. there were other people bandwagoning on his train of thoughts, but you gotta pardon me and even the other board members (which at this point i&#039;m not trying to defend at all, just the good parts of the work we&#039;ve done), it&#039;s pretty hard to parse constructive criticism from immature skullfag trolling.<br /><br />[quote]<br />*Board members being complete dipshits on par with zd admins/staff<br />[/quote]<br />mass - a sleazebag politician/lawyer<br />star - a stalinesque totalitarian<br />xen - a bundle of rage waiting to explode<br />dew - always whining about everything<br />okay, i see your point. but you are wrong about mikehail, so shut up.<br /><br />[quote]<br />*Rules being changed mid-season<br />[/quote]<br />wasn&#039;t this just an emergency sort of patch to avoid further fuckups? the thing i didn&#039;t fully agree about was passing it through a board vote. in the past, it&#039;d go without a rule change and the commish or the board head would just roll in the server and decide on the spot. you can call it &quot;not changing the rules,&quot; but the fact is, there weren&#039;t rules for certain stuff and the executive powers just created them on the fly, so this is a bit unfair from your side.<br /><br />[quote]<br />*Total Trash<br />[/quote]<br />well, okay. but [i]where[/i] else? one of the captains will [i]always[/i] refuse MTL. in the scenario of no default server, this will lead to a giant bitchfest. [b]you[/b] in particular would refuse MTL in favour of TT, haha. and i&#039;m sorry, but beast&#039;s servers weren&#039;t even IDL-ready for a few weeks of the season (wrong dmflags and settings and whatnot), so they went unnoticed by many. i don&#039;t even know the IPs. what&#039;s your miraculous cure? surely not NJ, texan guy?<br /><br />[quote]<br />*Players nearly sneaking away with demo infractions<br />[/quote]<br />tbh i thought for the longest time we were going to turn over all WAD games, but some people claim ladna&#039;s upload system is still p buggy and you can&#039;t blame the players, so i dunno. shak had consistent bogus demo uploads, but afaik others had occassional duds too, so instead of murdering the season with overturning half of the past matches, people were allowed to reupload. or that&#039;s how i understand it? i dunno, i wasn&#039;t paying attention, because idl was already &quot;over&quot; for me.<br /><br />[quote]<br />*1000 versions of idl2012.wad<br />[/quote]<br />uh. dumb point to make. the most infamous chapter was caused by ralph&#039;s rogue behaviour. next.<br /><br />[quote]<br />*Map32<br />[/quote]<br />preach on, son.<br /><br />[quote]<br />*The Board<br />[/quote]<br />dipshits. never did anything right. i kinda miss the constructive, helpful rust from #idlb.<br /><br />[quote]<br />*Humanbones (lol&nbsp; :P)<br />[/quote]<br />what the fuck are you talking about, you fucking redneck piece of shit? bones is constantly getting undermined by mass and star, so just because he doesn&#039;t strongarm them into silence and a premature league split, you shouldn&#039;t get a free pass to sling mud at him.<br /><br />[quote]<br />This might be the last season for a lot of players and it may even be the last season of the IDL depending on certain factors (nutshell: some[s]one[/s] masochist who wants to clean up this mess).<br />[/quote]<br />or it might be the last season of the IDL [i]as we know it![/i] *hint, hint*<br /><br />[quote]<br />1. All the above points are the board&#039;s fault<br />[/quote]<br />it&#039;s actually true. the past board voted in the current members and this board is split in a neverending standoff. i used to scream about &quot;the clique&quot; ever since... august and people were like surely you jest. i doubt anyone would bother to argue against it now.<br /><br />the most obvious, painful example is the movement to replace mikehail on the board, because he&#039;s &quot;leaving.&quot; since... september or so. the thing is, the board votes on the new members, so the past boards were dumb enough to vote in me, mass, xen and star in this order, if you can believe that. now mike has been saying he doesn&#039;t have the time for IDL anymore, so he wants to be replaced. and this is where the board splits into two stubborn cliques that won&#039;t budge. basically, there&#039;s star, mass and mike himself who want either ladna or lb to replace mike and no one else, period. this makes me and xen roll around in fits of emitting [i]liquid rage[/i] through our every pore, because it&#039;s nothing else but consolidating power for the tt group, ltd. in 3-2 cases bones decides and he&#039;s on our side, so we&#039;re locked in 3-3. just so you know, some candidates refused by the nostar group on basis that they aren&#039;t better fit than ladna or lb: prime (our first choice), ralphis, rust (i sorely regret nominating him now), saber.<br /><br />[quote]<br />2. They have no feelings and are heartless fucks<br />[/quote]<br />i cried sweet tears of joy after your mom sucked my balls dry. then we went through your kid&#039;s first photo album and cuddled.<br /><br />[quote]<br />3. Offensive statements won&#039;t affect them<br />[/quote]<br />your mom had to console me with a blueberry pie and a blowjob after i read this cruel statement.<br /><br />[quote]<br />4. They deserve it<br />[/quote]<br />that&#039;s what your mom said when i pulled out and it splashed over a photo of you and strangle.<br /><br />[quote]<br />weeks 5-9.<br />[/quote]<br />subjective, next.<br /><br />[quote]<br />First you have 3 old ass shitty zd maps,<br />[/quote]<br />yet you whine about getting rid of other antique pieces like map30. bah. also to be completely honest, i really wanted your contest map in the schedule, but my voice isn&#039;t strong enough in the board.<br /><br />[quote]<br />next week we get optically raped. Of course the reason why we will get raped is because 4/5 of the board said so.<br />[/quote]<br />i&#039;m really, truly sorry about that. :(<br /><br /><br />[quote]<br />Xenaero made a topic polling players what they preferred: map28 2 or 6 spawns, map32 original or Ralphis&#039; textures. Even though the poll results favored 2 spawn 28 and Ralphis&#039; textures, we got 6 spawns and mspaint textures.<br />[/quote]<br />the problem with the poll was it came [i]after[/i] we already voted on the matter and works on the wad were in progress. i&#039;d still prefer obliging the poll, but: the vote on map28 2s vs 6s was decided by a 10 vs. 7 majority? that&#039;s not a very decisive people&#039;s wish, your presidents won with less. :) i won&#039;t even dignify the map32 textures thing with a reply, because i&#039;m seeping with hate and eyesore.<br /><br />[quote]<br />Interestingly enough Ralphis, who is nothing more than a captain officially, made an idl wad that contained what the players wanted.<br />[/quote]<br />this is a pathetic appeal to the anti-administration movement. we let ralphis do the wad, because he&#039;d always done it. i don&#039;t know how the fuck you missed that little fact. it was out of respect to him, you fucking rick perry dicksucker. ralph himself admits he chose to ignore the board decisions and created a wad that combined some board stuff and some of his own choices. even the bones-clique (bones/me/xen) was unhappy with this, because he chose to ignore some of things [i]we[/i] managed to put through. ralph&#039;s rogue action unified the board for a while.<br /><br />[quote]<br />Plus, his wad didn&#039;t destroy map04<br />[/quote]<br />well, the thing is... it was one of his early betas that created the HOMs. mass took over editing the wad and he didn&#039;t catch up on the fixes and used an earlier ralph version. it was a fuckup, but you surely abuse the situation to your advantage.<br /><br />[quote]<br />and it was the first version to include past MasterBowl maps (mb01-10).<br />[/quote]<br />this was a thing mutually agreed on by the board, bones and ralph. you can&#039;t steal it for ralph himself just to make the board look bad.<br /><br />[quote]<br />Also it&#039;s worth mentioning that the proctf map (which doesn&#039;t work on zd at all in its original state) was properly play tested on Skulltag! rofl, I guess we could play test some ZDoom Wars map and it&#039;ll be IDL ready!<br />[/quote]<br />oh, the smug arrogance! you&#039;d be right at home as a board member, you fucking dickwad. that map is perfectly fine. ask some better zdaemon players than you, like whiteboy.<br /><br />[quote]<br />The removal of map07 and map30 and possibly map32 of the 2011 wad was also dumb. I personally don&#039;t give a shit about old 32, but 07 and 30 were [u]good for the IDL[/u]. However tried and true maps like those two were [u]removed[/u] for jokes like that shitty Christmas map and the stupid rad suit/hidden sphere map. Oh wells, let&#039;s move on.<br />[/quote]<br />they weren&#039;t removed [i]for[/i] the particular maps you mentioned. there was a vote for removing maps, then there was a multi-round vote to put maps in. i pushed for map-for-map replacement, but that was mostly symbolic, because we already had the lists. you don&#039;t understand the selection process, apparently. do i wish 07 stayed in? yeah. but why don&#039;t you mention we also replaced UTTER FUCKING SHIT like old map06? because it&#039;d look worse for your arguments to say we replaced pro19 for mad06? go eat a dick, you scumbag.<br /><br />[quote]<br />Jenova getting banned from TT<br />[/quote]<br />he&#039;s an obnoxious motherfucker and i don&#039;t care. he just keeps pushing you and he&#039;s not in the IDL anymore, so why care about him so much? he is in it just for the trolling.<br /><br />[quote]<br />Mikehail not leaving SUC&#039;s practice session<br />[/quote]<br />tbh, i hate this behaviour too. i&#039;d leave as soon as the practicing cap asked me to do so.<br /><br />[quote]<br />Xenaero single-handedly destroying MAD&#039;s season (Maybe only applies to DoomGuy lol D: )<br />[/quote]<br />none of your fucking business, dipshit. how is that related to the board? what if mass &quot;destroyed&quot; your season by not submitting a 3rd demo and getting annihilated? last season i was on a team destroyed by naut&#039;s idiocy and i don&#039;t see you nailing [i]him[/i] to the cross. please, separate administration from playing, k?<br /><br />[quote]<br />Dew abusing rcon during a priv session and kicking Tai for no appropriate reason<br /><br />(lengthy explanation)<br />[/quote]<br />you know, after years of getting slapped around by nostar, i actually did the same - i decided priv was not the same thing as IDL (because it is not) and i lashed against tai, who was mocking me. i abused rcon, [b]go ahead and take it from me[/b], it&#039;s not necessary for me to have it anyways. also you are lying in part, i left immediatelly after kicking him, because i didn&#039;t want to play anymore, so i wasn&#039;t delaying anything. still, i&#039;ll gladly let go of any rcon powers i might have over any idl servers and i will leave the board if the public think i am a malignant element because of this incident. also tai is a fucking moron.<br /><br />[quote]<br />So in closing, fuck you.<br />[/quote]<br />thank you for being a dick.
