I Am Leaving
 
Why? Because I am sick of being flamed, maimed, insulted, harassed, screeched at, trolled, and treated like a mole in the underpants of a miner. I am also sick of the incompetence, lack of adherence to the rules, waves of trolls and spammers and the lack of people who will stand against them.

Goodbye. I may return, but only after a long, long time.

Note: My chars go to whoever Splat decides is the most appropriate. I wish you all a very merry Christmas. Feel free to flame me all you want, I won't even be there to care.

FINAL EDIT: If Marvak ever finishes the group pic/anyone ever answers my Vernel request or Zozo adds a new chapter to her story, Gmail them to me.

This is actually disappointing. Everytime I read your post I would almost get a kick out of it, it'll sure be a big loss without you.

Later.

skillyaslig 10-11-2007 08:39 PM

as always, Pat makes a great exit :D seriously though, you where one of the odds taht made oddworld forums odd....I shall miss you....well, until I get killed by a car next week...

Nate 10-11-2007 08:42 PM

This is terrifically disappointing. I was so hoping that you'd reply to my last post with some pointless flaming so that I could give you your last infraction and ban your lilywhite arse.

moxco 10-11-2007 10:21 PM

I'm one of those people who stand against the people you mentioned!

Strike Witch 10-12-2007 12:03 AM

But we need a right-wing wanker!

Who's going to keep Havoc out of the Zoo now?

Leto 10-12-2007 12:25 AM

Lol. Seeya m8. Really don't need to say anything else.

Marvak 10-12-2007 03:17 AM

I find this rather disappointing. :\ You were one of the main vertebre in the backbone of this forum. You've been here since before I came. For me, there's no Oddworld Forums without you. I mean, you're like the little wart that everyone wants to get rid of, but then they realise it... defines us in some way.

...That was supposed to sound a lot nicer than it actually did.

Mac Sirloin 10-12-2007 04:13 AM

............

Jordan 10-12-2007 05:59 AM

I'm half happy half disappointed. You could be a right twat but it was one of the only exciting things on this forum.

Zozo the Zrilufet 10-12-2007 06:50 AM

:(Well, at least you say you may return after a long time, miss ya. I'm not sure where to find your Gmail thing, but I guess Marvak can email the thingy to you...... And seriously, this is a sort of goodbye thread, why must everyone snipe? Its pathetic.

Splat 10-12-2007 07:10 AM

If I told you Alcarrecently started a thread in employee lounge telling people to 'can the anti PV movement' would it influence your decision?

Ah well. I'll miss your contributions in RPG. Hope you have fun in whatever you waste your time doing instead. :fuzwink:

Be aware that T-Nex misses W@RF so much that she keeps coming to me on MSN and saying how much she misses it :p

Laser 10-12-2007 07:20 AM

:(

even though he was troll fodder i will miss him because when ever he wrote something on a thread i would automatically go to it to see what bizarre and righht wing thing he would be talking about :(

Oddworld forums is going to be a little quieter without him

Don't reject your role just as it was reaching equilibrium. Now there's a void!

Patrick Vykkers 10-12-2007 03:00 PM

@All; I have changed my mind about this after careful reconsideration.

I will only, however, return to posting in RPG, as I am nervous about leaving my "ships" "steered" into a different course than I intended if I ever should return

@Splat; Thank you for telling me that. I know that Employee Lounge threads are confidential, but what precisely sparked it? Was it this thread or something I/someone else said?

@Nate: I do not hate you. I do not even dislike you. You are a competent person who I voted in as moderator. I do not even hate your political views, I merely disagree with them. But what I find truly disturbing is your open statement of using your moderator powers to enforce a vendetta against me. I have been called as evil as Khomeini, demented and a douchebag by you, and insulted at my own metaphorical funeral, and I do not respond with flaming, merely attacks upon your statements. In real life, if a judge held a strong hatred against one of the people he presided over, they would find a different judge to try the defendant.

I find you, by no judicial authority, in violation of rule 1 of the Rules in Short section of http://www.oddworldforums.net/rules.php and of
:

Respect is a key issue here. We expect that every member will be considerate of other members’ feelings and opinions. Everyone has the right to express his or her opinion, as long as it isn't posted with malicious intent. Such things as offensive language, flaming, using vulgarities or posting sexually explicit material is deemed as a spiteful attack against the receiving member(s). You can discuss or challenge members' opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully.

You may challenge that I myself have been disrespectful of the religious opinions of Muslims and those who defend Islam, but you will see that I have not used "offensive language, flaming, using vulgarities or posting sexually explicit material". The closest I have come is some mildly snappish remarks towards a person's ideas. The only flames I have posted are after a member seems keen to completely derail the topic or use bad logic (Such as "Your Declarations are in contradiction to the Supreme Declaration of Morbo! All hail Eris!") and even then, it is almost always towards their behaviour rather than their person.

I don't care if you hate me, just don't use your mod powers to enact a jihad (no pun intended) against me. I wish you a very merry Channukah and that you may find whatever spiritual answers you desire from Adonai HaShem. I also hope you live long, prosper and continue to be an otherwise competent and efficient mod.

@Mods; This thread can stay, but only as a monument to my leaving of all posting as myself. Close it if you wish.

Strike Witch 10-12-2007 03:17 PM

Heh.

I get to make a "I'm Leaving" thread next!

Zozo the Zrilufet 10-12-2007 04:03 PM

:DYay awesomeness....And now with your Gmail, I may get my own, and harrass you for the rest of your life:).

You are a giant fucking nerd. Leave.

Patrick Vykkers 10-12-2007 04:18 PM

I hope you enjoy a long and prosperous life, OANST, and that you have many beautiful sons and daughters. I also hope you continue to contribute meaningfully and I wish you a merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.

Too awesome. On topic....Uhhh....Yaaaaay:).

And I don't even know what that means, let alone that the smoking of cocks was possible.

I know. Tenchars. Smoking is bad.

OANST 10-12-2007 04:29 PM

Then why reply to it? It's a private "joke" between PV and I which neither of us will really get either. At the least he knows where it comes from, though.


You're a dude.

Splat 10-12-2007 04:30 PM

Oh great, I'd just posted in W@RF and your two RPGs to tell them about you leaving. Now I have to go and sort that out. I'm blaming this on you. :p

And I think Alcar just got bored of seeing people flaming you all the time, so he banished a load of people to the Desert of Ignorance. I won't say anymore lest you realise just how messed up the rulers of your forum actually are and panic ensues.
Seriously, there's probably more spam in Employee Lounge than Necrum Burial Grounds. And now I must go before they see me telling you this and have me shot.

Jesus, man. Don't egg him on just because you guys play dungeons and dragons togethor.

Rupture Farms 10-12-2007 10:55 PM

I never really knew you; I joined not all that long ago.
So you're staying?
