WIP'S PROFILE

You actually make some fair points, Ciel! My attitude has most certainly changed. Especially in regards to my own failings as the leader here. I won't shy away from the fact I wasn't a fantastic person to have in charge. I have many flaws that were shown during my time here.

I've never claimed all RMN's problems were because of #shmup. Far from the truth. Most of the site's problems were rooted in how I ran it and created it. The site was forged out of spite and competition and that is what it retained. The site has always had very lax moderation and its rooted there. Despite my dickishness, I rarely banned anyone from the site.

However, you definitely should have been banned. Your contributions to this site have only ever been words. Words are powerful, but in a supposed community of creation, they ring hollow. With your words, you help bring down others and their own creations. You prolong the poison of entitlement and superiority that this community has suffered from.

With your words, you sit in your hovel with your amigos and attempt to elevate yourself above the majority of RMN. What have you actually accomplished here? Many members of RMN have created numerous games and had a great time doing it. You certainly don't play these games, either. You seem to want to revel in the atmosphere of creation, but refuse to actually take part in it and snub your nose to those do. I have no problem with #shmup if it wasn't a giant bag of hot air.


Now as for my statement to ban #shmuppers? It's keeping the peace, plain and simple. I have no personal issue with Ciel or the others, but it's obvious their mindset is not what fits this website! The website also does not fit my own ideas. There's no reason to fight a wave of this size. There comes a point when fighting won't do anything. At this moment, it's better to just cut ties and everyone try to find their spot.

I was a giant compared to these people. I also have more pictures!

Jude with a hat and his eyes kind of closed


McDohl and Sovan chumming outside while they took pictures


We somehow convinced McDohl to do this


This was what Sovan was doing most of the time


I asked Sovan to draw me something when we were out drinking.


This is what he made me!

Okay here we go. This is a huge shitty image, but we're currently smashed in an Astro Van for another hour on the way back to the hotel.

This is Sovan and Brick at lunchThis is Sovan and Kefkafloyd at Dairy Queen:

I even have pictures of this. It was pretty neat.

Discuss.
