sry for a bit of a hijack, but where do the names Lord_Iggy, j_eps, das, bombshoo, dachspmg and silver 2039 come from?

What, you don't want to know where LightFang comes from?

For future reference, North King is remarkably mundane; there is no hidden meaning. I dreamt of wielding power, and relative to most of the world, I lived in the north.

Are you absolutely positive it isn't a George R.R. Martin reference, Ser?

Which still is absolutely no excuse. I mostly agree with Symphony, actually.

I have to agree with Das and Symphony on this one. When a mod goes through the motions and labor to create his NES, he is also creating a mutual obligation to his players. It's a compact, a covenant if you will, that both sides should adhere to. Just because the mod's side involves more work doesn't give him justification to just drop the ball on the players.

However, it is just a game, so obviously the mod can terminate his side if he feels his obligation will be lackluster or nonexistent in the future. He just needs to man up and declare so. The players will eventually get over it .

 

[Kal'thzar]

it is going to be a fact, moderators have a greater ability to kill nes's (I've ran three nes's, if you havn't realised it yet they are dead, mostly because I grew slightly weary of updating for 3-5 people, the loss of players caused I beleive because I have an erratic updateing schedule, I'm not sure if you can go deeper than that ). However Sympth as much as your argument is appealing (maturity, politeness etc) it simply won't work as a way to effect change, simply because its very easy to ignore people.

I suppose thats why this whole argument just irritates me

Are we having Social Contract Theory all over again, only for NESes?

Other than that, I meant.

Hey, now that I think about it...hey! It was staring at me right in the face. Goodly Septon, you've helped me figure it out. I guess that's why we have you around.

Oh, and about the Mod/Player thing: I just think it's courteous to let people know when your NES is dead. I'm one of those guys who doesn't complain when it's dead (at least I like to think myself as that kind of person). I just think it's courtesy. If you don't want to get hounded in the thread, just say so and don't look at it again. Of course, some people don't look at it in the first place, but that way, it's all drawn out and stuff. It's much much better to get it over with.

silver originated back when I was 11 or 12 and I liked to play Pokemon, silver is a version of the GBA game.

2039 is the year I decided I would take over the world.

Thus the two came together and made silver 2039.

Random 3 letter-word for my first username in my first RTS game (which I think was Dune II). Though my first name does begin with a "d", so that might be not so random.

I coulda sworn I brought it up to the next level with the word "covenant" . Which is fairly appropriate, seeing as the mod is God.

Luckymoose is a combination of my RL nickname and something I usually am in RL.

About the African or Middle East NES. How would you all like to see one of them done. Like no nukes? I know if the Super Powers are involved in the Middle East it can be seriously messy and without nukes the combat would be intense.

 

[North King]

Positive, as I read Martin long after I came onto the forums.

 

[das]

No nukes, naturally. I think it should be mostly the natives duking it out with foreign military advisors (some of whom could be PC) and equipment, while superpowers would limit their presence to special forces, naval task forces and maybe expeditonary corps. It still would get quite messy, ofcourse.

 

[North King]

If it were Africa, see, no one would bother to intervene, making the playing field much more level. In the Middle East, you'd definitely have direct military intervention from more than one superpower.

Sounds like fun. Sept we all know America would send a huge force.

IMHO a limited clash - which would indeed be much more likely in the Middle East - has the best potential.

Limited clashes? I don't believe that's in the vocabulary of the current US military, at least.

 

[Luckymoose]

Just so you guys know I will not be closing my current NES. But maybe doing two NESes. Wait is it NESes or NES? Or NESi.\?

Does no one wish to know from where TheBladeRoden came?
