EVENT: Tusken Uprising!!! Interest check. (Deathwatch and others!)

[Sreeya]

I did not say such a thing. I have to vehemently object to that insinuation.
.

So I dunno if what you say is true or where you are getting this information from. If this is backroom chatter you picked up I personally would like to hear something more official. No offense, but you are a mod, not an admin. Maybe @GABAroo or @Clayton can shed some light on this.

Erm? I quoted you directly.

If you think that only people with colored names are allowed to tell you how things are run on the site and everyone else has no valid points ever, you need to seriously re-evaluate your approach on how things are run here. You are unnecessarily rude and come across as someone that can't play well with others unless some sort of authority comes in and tells you what to do. If Arc tells you something that might not be directly in the rules or updated, then you can politely tell him "Hey this is what the rules say, would you mind if we ask an admin to at least update them?" instead of the shitty comments like "if this is is some backroom chatter you picked up" or "no offense but you're no admin". Your points are fine, your DELIVERY is atrocious.

Anyway, sorry Norbs and Arc. Seeing people being jerks to others like this grinds my gears and I have to say something.

Allow me bring offer a calming haiku for all to meditate on, as a means of bringing @FinnSimmons peace, so we may carry on together.


Egos never lie,
I am the most rational!
How could pride be wrong?

Thank you.

Erm? I quoted you directly.

The only thing you showed by doing so is that I read the entry in the rules about Admins and Mods. There it states exactly that.

Arclight & Phœnix, while not administrators, they serve as battle moderators, assisting in reviewing and rulings on reports and RP related discussions.

This makes the distinction between Moderators and Administrators, points to Gaba as the higher instance - as does the rest of the post - and outlines the the specific areas of competence for these two moderators.
Now if the organizational chart is not accurately depicting the inner workings of the site how am I supposed to even guess at that? I have to work with what I have access to and trust that what the Admins provide in terms of information is correct.

In the end I stated a written fact and was corrected by @GABAroo . I wasn't being rude, I didn't insult him or call him names. If this comes down to me being to direct for you it would be really sad.

Sorry that we are still talking of topic.

Does someone need a hug:

Here's my interpretation of hugs:

Yep.....hug me and I will scowl you.

But seriously.....are we not adults?

Sorry that we are still talking of topic.

I see both sides of your arguments here, but for the sake of Arc's story arc, probably best to either take the discussion to skype or PM and let the man have his thread dedicated to it's point.

Colour me interested :D I need to ask a couple of questions when I'm back from work, however I think this is a pretty cool event (anyone else happen to love desert planets?) and I love the idea of getting as many people as possible into this :) @Arclight

Tarek and Garryyn were in Mos Pelgro when it was attacked. I'm absolutely down. Roughly how long after that thread does the battle of Mos Espa take place?

Also, I think it might be interesting to have Fort Tusken in the arc. I'm not sure how we're treating old canon (it was founded in 98 BBY in old canon), but this could be interesting and have the name Tusken Raider make more sense in the TL.

 

[Nova Elgrin]

I would just need to know if this event will happen before or after the holonet news from Vosrik and Kira as to know if Lyanna is still a Jedi or not :)
(However I'm not certain yet if to throw Nova or Lyanna into the ring :))

I would like to make a quick note, in regards to rulings. As a head's up, I have not read every post, but been appraised of the situation.

Think of the rulings/reviews as a judicial system. Many cases/reports/rulings can be done by moderators and admins alike. Moderators rulings just as enough impact as an admins when it comes to a ruling. You only bring matters us to a higher court if you genuinely believe something needs addressed, that you think a ruling is incorrect. However, generally admins will side with the moderators, as the moderators do a good job in their reviews and rulings and such. Asking for a second opinion should be used when you genuinely believe there has been a mistake (we are all human, it happens). But only if there's a glaring issue. You should not just asking for an admin to overrule a moderator's ruling simply because you didn't like the ruling or disagreed with it. Gaba is indeed Head Admin, but she also trusts her moderators and admins to do their job effectively. Trust the system. The moderators are here to help.

Furthermore, if you genuinely disagree with a ruling, be respectful about it (in truth, you should be respectful to all parties, be they admin, mods, or fellow participants). If there is an issue that needs to be discussed, do so in a respectful and professional manner. I can say with some certainty that it does not sell your case if you act in an immature and/or rude manner.

Im not exactly certain how long after Mos Pelgro that Mos Espa takes place, but lets say roughly a couple of days.

Thats a really cool idea, the Fort Tusken thing. Will definitely try to see if we can work it in.

@Arclight

Uhhhhh. Im not entirely sure what you are talking about, but if it happened before i started these threads, then lets say this takes place after.

 

[Gian Greydragon]

^ I'd say a few days after, yeah.
