Still retired | Started by: BillyBathtub on Nov 06, '11 01:55 |
I see that I've been getting called out recently as still playing the old MafiaReturns by AlabamaWorley, and I've been approached about it in private multiple times. I am a man of my word: |

I appreciate the words, Omniscient. However, when you spend 2 years on an account swallowing accusations of cheating, only to retire from playing and STILL get accusations insulting my word... Where does it end? |

You need to learn to just ignore it all... The more you address it the more the "trolls", as I like to call them, will want to keep accusing you and keep irritating you. Even if they know for a fact you are not cheating, or playing again, they will insist on accusing you. So just ignore it, don't address it, this thread should be your final word on it. |

Short answer? No. Not by my own fault, but because folks apparently have no issue with bullying even while I am retired. It's like the movie First Blood when haunted Vietnam vet John Rambo just wants to be left alone while roaming the desolate Pacific Northwest. However, there always seems to be a sheriff looking to pick a fight! |

Billy is my hero. The better arguement would have been you have had more than one account before the master account was put into to play but whatever. People bitch and rant over the pettiest of things today. |

Regardless of whether your motivation was to prove the accusers wrong or to no longer silently take shots from people, all it looks like is that you can't give up the spotlight. I doubt that the guys from Blizzard feel the need to make an announcement every time someone bashes them on World of Warcraft. |

Grin, I 100% agree with you that the guys from Blizzard probably do not spend their time tracking down every negative comment that is thrown their way. The guys from Blizzard are probably billionaires and have millions (?) of users. |

I'm just telling you how it appears and it 100% appears like you can't give up being the focal point of everyone's attention. |

As we hopefully grow, Grin, the manner in which we respond as Admins will change until eventually it will be done through intermediaries so that we are completely removed from the game in any capacity other than change announcements and IRC banter. That's the goal and dream, but the reality is we are still small to a degree that our word is important. When I fall under a personal attack, I will still absolutely respond, because I feel there needs to be a trust between myself and the users. If someone comes to the street using their IG rank of Godfather to try to sway public sentiment against me, BillyBathtub - Admin extraordinaire, then I will respond in kind. |

Here's the thing, I posted in my initial retirement thread that I was not playing several hours before your fateful post, Alabama. Had you taken the time to read that before levying accusations at me, then ALL of this would have been averted. I understand getting bad advice from people, but I don't have an IG account to stick up for myself under those types of attacks, especially after I've refuted what you said PRIOR to you even saying it. |

Here's the thing, nobody personally attacked you, BillyBathtub, nobody tried to sway public sentiment against you, BillyBathtub, nor were any ill-advised (?) grenades thrown at you, BillyBathtub. AlabamaWorley, an in game character, speculated about Roman, an in game character, and his offspring. Where is the personal attack that concerns BillyBathtub, owner/creative director of MafiaReturns? |

I think if you put yourself in Billy's position this thread really doesn't seem as unreasonable as it's being made out to be. I understand that Warrior didn't intend any malice in his comments but he did publicly put Fuji's words in Billy's mouth. I think Billy has a right to respond to it at that point. Not having an in game character he couldn't respond in the thread on the streets so this was his way of doing it. At this point I think it's being blown up to be more than it has to be. All that was needed was: |
