An Update on Your Drama |
|
Sep 06, 2010 - 7:33 PM - by briese

I take two or three days off to get financial issues with school taken care of, and I come back to all sorts of drama and fun.
Benz has been banned due to leaking Raynia information. As a Raynia Beta Tester, he agreed not to do so. A message to anyone who has priviledged Raynia information - any leaking will result in you being banned. To Benz, and anyone else who has already leaked - if you continue to do so, I will take it personally and will respond in kind (keep in mind - I'm older and smarter than you, and I have your IP addresses).
As for the Hailey situation - the staff has no official standpoint as of yet. We're investigating further than a 'I chatted with her on facebook and it was not real lulz' check. If you have any information in Hailey's favor, feel free to PM it to me - I will read and respond to it. If you have any information against Hailey, keep it to yourself, I've already recieved five different sets of the same information; you've made your case. However, flaming of any kind on the subject will result in bans - I'm banhappy at the moment, just ask Robert.
To those of you who are upset about me or Nova not responding to your PMs, check the last announcement. If you request a name change or request that I check the name change forum via PM, I will ignore it on purpose. If you're sending me a 'What's up?' PM and I don't respond, don't take it personally - I just don't have... [Read More]

Debate Tournament |
|

I thought it would be nice to have a good old fashion public forum debate tournament. Public forum consists of teams with two partners going against another two partner team.
It is a factual debate based around arguments and speaking skills. Public forum is very easy once you learn it, it takes forever to master though. Research it if you would like to get ahead of the game.
With public forum there are many speeches given in a round and most of them are timed, we will be less strict on time and I will give exact specifications soon due to the fact that we will be holding this in IRC.
The topic will be unique, but it will be able to be researched and it will hold valid and debatable arguments on each side.
Right now we're just looking for sign ups, so go ahead and post in this topic you and your partner's name. Make sure you've talked to your partner first. Rules + Dates will be announced later.
Prizes will not be revealed until winners are announced, this is to encourage people who enjoy intelligent debate to register.
Enjoy,
DStaff

Hey everyone - just so you know, PMing an administrator should be for staff members and emergencies only. In the past 48 hours I've had 12 PMs for Name Changes. From now on, any name change request that is sent through PMs will be ignored and deleted. If you want a name change, then request it in the name change request forum. That's what the forum is for.
Thanks, briese
