And NO I was not privvy to this thread or information.

It was more:

1. Is this in character of TE and BV
2. Does it make any sense the people they banned
3. None of the other "main guys" in the community were saying anything.

/Signed

I saw this coming too, but didnt make it too public because I was afraid of getting banned. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Try being here for 8 years and seeing this community grow out of a tiny handful of players, people who stuck with it only because they loved it so much and loved the people. Try watching people ruining the game, having the playerbase so small we could barely manage a 10v10 on a good day, then having it grow to the decent size it is today. Do all of that, then tell me we take it too seriously.

Basically, Adept, shut the hell up.

Still taking it too seriously Bacon, 'ol chap.

I love Allegince. I was devastated when I had to stop playing in 2000 due to chnges in my broadband. I've been keeping an eye on freeallegiance for years, but until R3 came around, the firewall didn't let me play.

I don't see how seniority makes tantrums and insults any more respectable. Bad behavior and short temper is just that.

Still, the game is still up and we are still here. Peace man, let's just play. /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

/edit mellowed it out a little

*sigh*

You guys have no idea how many times I typed "Stop $#@!ing bleeding each other. It's a $#@!ing joke." but ended up closing the tab on Firefox. I also had a nightmare on Sunday night where I heard the PK TS channel being torn apart by arguments and me/TB having to reveal the joke to stop the squad from tearing itself apart from the inside. But I ended up missing that game and AFAIK, nothing untoward happened.

Oh well. You fail and you learn from it. Would be sad if you decided to leave Bacon.

I was expecting somebody to grab the ToS and point out there were terms that denied the right to put up an alternative non-FAO-controlled lobby, tbh.

Or maybe it's just me reading the legalese wrong.

Ok, I fell for it hook line and sinker.

If ppl hadn't overreacted and freaked out, it would have been GREAT!

TE and BV, I hope you noticed the ppl that did support you, even if they disagreed with the "banning them all" thing. /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

Well, I fell for it. I probably would have noticed if I had actually read the threads.

I say it was just a ploy for TE and BV to increase their postcounts. TE wants to hit 10,000!

And when April 1st comes, they'll say THIS is the joke and we are actually banning stackers...

I didn't think it was a joke and it was making me angry. I was letting it slide because none of my XT brethren were targeted. But I dunno, I was thinking up ways to "Fight back" in my head...

I'm glad you ended it early, but I think it would've been funny if we had the random callsigns.

We still might.
