Did you forget that you picked me as your running mate back a few months ago?

Hey Windjammer, I'm glad you stood with me when I stood up for sanity in housing regulations. I appreciate you calling me the voice of reason in the Northeast. Its nice to see that both you and DemPGH are supporters of mine.

Next time you want to play ball, you should actually come to the ball park.

Hello Sirnich, I'm glad I stood with you as well for sanity in housing regulations. And I don't regret at all calling you "the voice of reason in the Northeast" for your opposition to the crazy housing regulations' bill.

But I have a question? Why do you speak about that? I mean, I have spoken about your education record, and I fail to see the link with housing regulations...

The fact you have been extremely good for your opposition to the crazy bill doesn't mean you have been good for the other issues. I give an example: Jan Brewer, I seriously believe she was reasonable by rejecting the gay apartheid bill, or by implementing the medicaid expansion. Does I beleive she a strong record?? Of couse not, she has passed disgusting bills, like the immigration bill and I would have loved to see her being defeated.

And of course, you're not Jan Brewer, but I have used this example to show that your argument "you call me the voice of reason for housing regulations" is really an argument that you could use for defending your record on education.

And caring of my balls, thanks, they're fine! I don't understand why you're interested with them? I mean, what I have said about education and your record, for both of you and Dallasfan, is true (I have even used the quotes). I could have said that having no balls is more by trying to avoid to defend your anti education record,... But I won't say that, I'm not at the elementary school anymore "OH MY OPPONENT IS BAD, HE HAS NO BALLS", sorry, I believe Atlasia should have better debated than that.

What I will say:
Sirnick, I know that running on an anti-education record( you know, this bill ) in Atlasia is as difficult as running in Arkansas with an pro-Obamacare (and just to be clear, I would have voter for Obamacare, I even support a more progressive version: the single payer), you can do better than trying to avoid of speaking about that by caring about my balls or quoting something I have said about you for your opposition to a crazy bill that has definitely NO LINK witn education.

Best,
Windjammer

Jan Brewer? Obamacare? What are these things? We live in Atlasia, not in some fictional country with a President named Obama and a Governor name Brewer. What silly things you speak of.

As for my record on education, I will give an in-depth response soon enough. As for the link with housing? I just wanted to highlight your kind words of me. Who wouldn't?

[sentinel]

Glad you've endorsed a fleshed down version of my Game Engine Team proposal

[sentinel]

Congrats on your win, DemPGH. Hopefully we can work together on game reform.

[sentinel]

I have offered my services to fill the GM role, when I can re reigster on Sept 19

[sentinel]

There was a terrorist attack, and ya'll are complaining about process for nominations.

[sentinel]

I gave DemPGH that I was going to make some fun (sarcasm) events happen to spice it up here. DemPGH had an opportunity to respond and didn't. He sent me a PM pretty much saying lightning strikes caused the attack. I'm being realistic in the sense that if the President doesn't respond to an attack, then stuff is going to get worse.

EVERYONE knows I write dystopian timelines. On top of that, I gave DemPGH ample opportunity to respond in the most basic sense.

If you don't want to take a serious GM seriously then there really shouldn't be a game. Without a GM its just people "passing" words with no effect.

[sentinel]

HYPOTHETICALLY, since its against forum rules to post a real one, if DemPGH sent me a PM about this it would have looked like this

Okay,

The attacks at the White House are the result of a fireball or some other atmospheric effect, even ball lightening.

The other attacks are being investigated by the FBI and will be handled by law enforcement.

If there's a problem with that, you don't need to be GM anymore.

Thanks!
-D

No. The attacks were what I say they were. You had a chance to respond and if you did anything remotely positive I would have given you a whole rally around the flag boost. Instead, you did nothing which makes it easier for a dystopian story teller.

I'm not out to destroy you. Im out to create an interesting and compelling storyline in hopes of increasing activity. I gave you ample time to respond prior to crashing the stock market two days in a row (and I checked to make sure you were active on the forum during that time as well!)

[sentinel]

The Game Moderator is not part of your administration. He is not your peon. He is the chief storyteller and narrator of the game (or God of the game). Everything I did was relatively realistic. Recently, someone IRL ran into the White House unabated, barracks have been attacked in the past, people beheaded and bombings have occured. You had a chance to respond in an intelligent way and you did nothing. Nothing. You didn't even try.

[sentinel]

I'll just leave this here:



And just to clarify:

1) I'm not defending the actions of the President; this is an abuse of authority (though he technically has the powers to dismiss the GM if he so chooses)

2) I'm not defending the actions of the GM, as this story-line was planned to cause chaos and project exaggerated effects from the get-go (2,000-point stock market drop? really?); this, too, is an abuse of authority (though he too technically has the powers to do what he has done here)

1) Yes, I openly said I was going to make everyone's life hard with my storyline, and more fun.  Whats really funny is that I gave everyone a warning and the people in power still did nothing.

2) Yes, I made a 1,700 point stock market drop (over two days). I initially was going to make them MUCH smaller, but DemPGH didn't respond to the attacks by the time I wrote the update, so I naturally made it worse. Think about it if George Bush or Barack Obama didn't respond, at all, to a terrorist attack for that long of a period of time.

(Many economists argue that the stock market, for better or worse, has become a barometer for how the country feels. Holder resigned and it was down 200...)

3) Griffin, you had aliens.

[sentinel]

Arguing with Griffin is like arguing with a kitchen table who is also the head of the conspiracy theory group at the local community college.

While I did brag about making people's lives harder, it was in humor (my humor IRL is dry, so I understand if someone didn't get that I was saying it out of fun etc).

Having a President not respond to a terrorist attack is unprecedented and calls for unprecedented consequences. Like I said, had he done almost anything I would have made the fall shorter.

[sentinel]

The moral lesson for sirnick (and anybody else who would dare take this position): nobody really cares what the GM says, so don't get your panties in a wad when people don't respond to it fast enough (if they respond to it at all) and then grossly over-exaggerate consequences.

DemPGH was responding and posting on his own thread as President that evening, and then again the next day. And he did give some silly response with Duke Nukem'. My expectations were not high.

I keep saying, if any real President failed to respond to an attack, then the consequences would be huge. We can agree to disagree.
