Oh no! I must go gold NOW to save rev from going poof! But how to convince my parents paying 5 bucks a month for a game... hmm.

[ArcPaladinZero]

Well it looks like now I have a reason to go gold. Thanks for the ever so serious update Skof. Maybe people will realize everything and go gold if you already haven't. GO GOLD TODAY!

[Hugh Junit]

EDIT:

Okay, okay, ya got me. :)

Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.

[Northwind]

SKOF is a bad person! :)

[ChingyDTP]

:rolleyes:

[Asmodeus]

Gold it is :)

[imagination]

haha i love this skof ... im already gold

[Twelve]

*post is edited out of embarassment*

[FryLock]

I'm amused by the number of serious responses to this thread. Perhaps an inquiring mind should wonder why he left all that blank space...

:cool:

[Twelve]

GAH!!!


HAHAHAHA...ok SKOF...got me...

12

[Bottle]

Ah, excellent SKOF. But surely you should have made the last line the same colour as the ther bits? That would have confused people even more.

On the other hand, you got 12, Chingy and Hugh (by the looks of it), so well done. :)

[Twelve]

Luckily for me, VERY few people saw just how badly he got me. That would have tarnished my smooth reputation forever. I command all those who did indeed see me trip and fall on my nose to hold a seal of SILENCE of that dreadful moment.

:D

[nads]

May this post stay forever unedited.

SKOF, you lie!

[thrdflrmshr]

I think it's sad that most people will never see the original replies. S_K_O_F tricked you guys; you should at least give him the satisfaction of letting him revel in the glory of your posts.

[Twelve]

Shoot, 3rd, that's the beauty of the edit button!! This is one of the few times that I'm happy to be living in a time zone where I normally log on practically alone online and get to read my own posts over before anyone else sees them! Saved my life this time!

Heck, I admitted he got me...that's all he's gonna get!

[Asmodeus]

to bad theres no edit button n you know what Chingy *nudges chingy and whispers about Gl last night* :)

Haha Oh man skof that was good I tried highlighting last night but when nothign came up I quit Good thing I kept my funny response to a minimum.... 'Gold it is :)' Well you got me.. But i'm still going gold :cool:

[S_K_O_F]

hey guys...dont let this fall


we need to spread the word!!!

[Tama Drummer]

My first post was edited.... but noone will know what it REALLY said... mwahahahaha....

Hehe... he wouldn't fooled anyone without my super secret view source abilites!

How did he get you? Didn't you follow the instructions he left. SKOF is a bad bad person, this matches to me necroing the new unit thread in the annoucement section.

[Hugh Junit]

Are we talking about all the REALLY COOL AND FUNNY posts that noone can read? Yeah, those are neat.:rolleyes:

[S_K_O_F]

anyway...i owe tama quite a bit of thanx

i had spent like 5 minutes trying to figure out the right numbers for that color and, for the life of me, was failing

tama told me 222222

i shall remember from now on!

[Jonspen]

ldoes everyone think this is neat, lol. Nice work Skofy!

[Jeffery]

Actually, there are 2 color codes. The forum alternates colors between posts.
One is 222222 and the other is 111111.
I found them by looking at the page souce code.

i just couldn't remember the 222222
a while back, everybody went through a little n00b bashing phase using the colors...if you look through the random discussion thread you can probably find the posts

Yea, I knew it from a while back too. I think it was Serge that asked if you could post a blank post while talking in IRC, and I just looked up the source, cause you can't really post a blank post.


And making your text look likes it a link... I did that for about 3 posts also. Then got bored.

[Jonspen]

Fooled me, i tried to click it, lol.

[Bottle]

I didn't think links could be underlined... isn't that how you spot fake ones?

[Tama Drummer]

Well, let's test it... I thought links were underlined first.

Real Link (http://tacticsarena.com/)
Fake Link



Edit: Yes, my mistake. I added the underline tags around it not even checked... (!) Links in posts are not underlined, but are in some other placed I think.


Also, you COULD underline the link too... so you can't just weed them out that way. :)



Corection:

Real Link (http://tacticsarena.com/)

Well, here's a reason to go gold. I'll be gold by next month.

So...closing down Revelation?
Closing down the Gold server? I think it's time you guys put your ego aside or whatever the hell is stopping you from making new stuff. Here are some steps incase you morons haven't figured them out yet.

MAKE SOME UNITS: 3/5th's of the Golds that quit say it's because of lack of new units. If you'd get your lazy asses up and make some, you wouldn't have to worry about that.

MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE GAME: As much as people have suggested it before, you should do it. How about some spectator matches!? Or how about 2 People battles?

I've got to go now. I'll be back with some more soon.

Swartz, just to let you know. I reported your posts to the admin for dealing with your language.

Cursing is not allowed in these forums, as many of the customers are kids.

Just because you missed the entire joke of the thread, and then were made fun of a bit, is no reason to begin cursing and such.

I don't give a crap. Jeff, you should know that most people don't like being made fun of. I wouldn't mind if he said, 'guy' or 'dude' but I detest the statement 'kid'. He pissed me off. This is a issue of my pride.

[Jeffery]

Getting pissed is fine, Happens all the time here. But cussing is not acceptable. And guess what, to some of us, you are a kid, and your behavior just underlines that fact.

[Swartzstrom]

Don't sit there and blame me because I have a short fuse and it's reaching a boiling point.

And besides. I said sorry http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11304

[Jeffery]

So you're saying you're not responsable for the actions you took? Sorry, that sounds like you are a kid to me, for only a childish person has such an attitude.

[Swartzstrom]

Wrong. I didn't say that. As a matter of fact, I take full responsibility for letting my temper get out of control like that. Plus, I'll accept full responsibility for it. Ban? Fine. If that's what it takes for me to keep my temper in check, I guess I won't be on the forums anymore.

[Jeffery]

Originally posted by Swartzstrom

Apologizing for making a mistake in the other thread does not negate your cursing and reasoning that you are alowed to curse as long as you were just mad.
You are still avoiding the fact that you blew your fuse and cursed repeatedly. There is no reason to blame you, for the facts speak for themselves.

You made a mistake, a few people made fun of you, and you had a tantrum like a 3 year old kid.

[Swartzstrom]

I didn't say that being mad allows me to curse. I've never said that, nor will you ever hear, or see my type that. In all my 400+ posts, I've only kussed two people out. Nads and SKOF and I apologize for that. I was always the oddman out and made fun of in my childhood, so excuse me for getting pissed at being teased. That is my excuse, but I don't hide behind it. I will take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for my actions. Even if it means getting banned. I love TAO, I love the Forums. I'm sorry for what I said and that's all I've got to say.

[Bottle]

Why doesn't everyone just edit their posts, and we'll have no more of this nonsense.

[Swartzstrom]

Hey, I'm just trying to set the facts straight. And I refuse to Edit my posts.

[cs_zero]

if u dont someone else will

[Jeffery]

How very grown up of you to refuse. NOT!

And the facts are straight. You had a temper tantrum.

[Swartzstrom]

I didn't say that I'm an Adult, I'm a teenager, and like which, we are not liable to just let adults walk all over us. We will talk back, fight, or do whatever else is nescessary to defend ourselves. We are still developing in this stage. Shaping our personality. Get your facts straight.

[Walrus]

clearly swartz just tripped out. he obviously hasnt yet realised that almost everyone on this forum has two faces, one which is reserved for being spiteful and/or patronising. the patronising mainly refers to jeff...

Ahh gee. Poor walrus is still mad at me for proving him a nothing.
What 2 faces were shown in this thread oh great one? The kid had a tantrum, and now says he is taking responsability, while still being a little brat lying in the supermarket aisle screaming.

[cs_zero]

plz dont tell me we have another CJS on our hands...

[Walrus]

cjs?


edit for jeff : i am by no means mad at you for anything you supposedly "proved". the thing that annoys me is that you spend half your time on the forums patronising other people, and the other half being immature yourself. almost like you cant decide on what personality you want to show to people....

[Swartzstrom]

Originally posted by Jeffery

I'll never, EVER, let my temper go that far. I've only fought twice in school and that's it. I've never fought outside of school. I can control my temper, and I can control my actions to the point of killing or mortally wounding somebody. I would never, IN MY LIFE, kill someone if it weren't necessary. It's the simple fact that I don't like it when people mess with me. Will you just accept the fact that I apologized and leave it at that? Good God.

No the hell you just didn't...never mind...you know what's wrong with the world today? Adults. More specifiacally adults like you. You are arrogant. You think you can judge me because of ONE incident, emphasis on ONE? Oh please.

[Walrus]

swartz, id recommend you just leave it at this point. if the thread goes much further jeff will probably claim hes doing everything just to "get a rise out of you". nothing more can be said that is gonna change anyones views or opinions


p.s sorry for ruining your fun jeff.


and swartz, dont worry about what he says about me. his words are either hollow or flamebaiting usually

Hey man, I was done anyways.

Everybody, I'm sorry about losing my temper like that and I hope you can forgive me.:(

I especially apologize to you SKOF and Nads. I let my temper get out of hand, and I'm sorry for it.:(

[Excaliber]

I agree with Swartz on the fact that it sucks to be made fun of and being called a noob on TAOt because you didnt know about omething and got tricked .....main point it sucks to et made fun of too and i have a short temper and i forgot what walrus said but i think i agree with him for a little thing too.

Jeff i had no idea you could get banned for cursing on the forums ... i am sorry i got mad and cursed and my temper shot out ofh and when you and d*d called e a post whore but i learned then that you are just trying to enforce more rules around here to make the forums more polite and such.


see i dont blame Swartzz for his temper problems it happened to me but learne from it and tryed to not take the things people say on here very harmfully although theyare sometimes are and thoose people need to ralize that

[Jeffery]

Swartz, I only judged the one incident. You cussed because you were angry. That is what I judged. Notice the fact that in every other thread where you are having normal conversations it has stayed that way. You exploded, and cussed. And then proceeded to say that just fine, because you were just mad. And no matter what, it's not alright.

Walrus, you still prove yourself a wannabe. I am not trying to get a rise our of Swartz. I am trying to get him to realise his earlier rise was wrong. That is all.

Ex- There at no time, other than Swartz reference, ever any talk of banning.

[Walrus]

ie get him to apologise, which he has already done?


and what exactly do i wannabe again?


anyway, i too am through with this thread. cant be arsed with another ridiculous argument with jeff which always results in him just flamebaiting and being fairly arrogant and patronising, and refusing to listen to a word anyone says unless it agrees with him.

If it will make you guys feel any better and if it will get Jeff to leave me alone, I'll make a thread on General Discussions for a public apology.

We only give those to are most frequent visitors...

oh...nevermind

[Excaliber]

Jeff i dont mean to dissagree with you because you are usually right i just want to get ONE point because i fell like it is a 1up.lol

Point=Jeff if you were driving in your car then someone swerved infront of you and you neded to avoid crashing and in the process (you were hauling a trailer ) the back rim of the trailer popped inside out(it happened to a trailer my friends dad was pulling i say it) the trailer skidds on the ice and does a 180 and crashes into a power line it is an abandoned road were there is no service statio around and you have no cell phone. you get out of your vehicle and examine the damage you see total destruction in your midst. your vehicle is wrecked beond repair(brand new) the hitch has twisted and to top it all of the pole of the power line cracked and is now inches away from your vehicle . you are stck there with no mode of transportation and no means of communication. you decide to wait it out and see who comes down the road hours later a car drives by ,stops ,and the occupants step out . you dont like the situation and the look of theese newcomers. you decide to take off so do they the chase you down take your wallet and beat you. you get up your all bloody your can hardly see out of your right eye. I think that most people would be so outraged that their new vehicle ir a car-b-q on account of he wreckless driver and that you were so nieve to think that some total strangers would stop to help you out. Most people wouldwant to kick someting , curse out loud ,and do somedestruction to something.

i hope i made a point. lol

[Swartzstrom]

...I'm not reading all that.

Check that out...that arguement put like three pages on the Thread.

[Excaliber]

yeah it took so long to type (i suck at typing) that i missed a whole page of posts lol

i just wanted t see if i could make a point from one of jeffs posts
... not thet they are irrelevant

[Swartzstrom]

*Whispers in Excalibur's ear* (All of them are irrelevant.)

[Jeffery]

Ex- Cursing in real life is not the same as here. Here you have to think about posting, press the reply to post button, type out your rant, then hit send.

There is thought involved in actually saying anything. Most people who curse in real life, especially in a situation like the one you described, do it out of reflex.

Think of it like this. If you hsave kids someday, will you want them surrounded by people you don;t know cursing all the time? Most parents don;t.

[Walrus]

@swartz : yeah but this is GD, where the vets can get away with pretty much anything....



anyway on the cursing, im afraid to say jeff is right (though it pains me to say it), though it was OTT reporting the posts to a mod, especially if he had already apologised

[Swartzstrom]

Wait a minute...is that Frost Walrus from Mega Man X4 on your Banner!? I never beat him!

Better check your timings of posts. I reported him before he apologized.

And if vets can get away with anything, what about the ones that have been banned after months of being paying customers? Do some research before wild assumptions.

[Walrus]

i said IF he made the apology before he reported. better check the grammer of my post, as you might say.

I haven't checked this thread in ages. I can understand why Swartz would have been offended by that kid remark. Swartz, I didn't mean it literally, that's just a word I use in place of Guy or dude out of habit. I know nothing about you, and have nothing against you.
