No matter which way you look at it, you're in the wrong for the way you have dealt with certain people, and have made your self like petulant, ignorant and down right silly. i will bid you good day and hope you look at this and put your holier than thou attitude to better use in the future, god day.

Aidan, yes, my bloodline does stem from the God Anubis, whom I am named after. I was told about this place growing up, and developed a desire to see the shores for myself, for which I've done quite well. That said, I was also instilled a love of the old ways, and one such was to avoid OOCitis as it is the plague of our world. You, being so highly ranked and respected, surely understand how that is. No where in my statement to you was I disrespectful, simply concerned for your well being, what with you having been sick and all. That said, it appears you've cleared it up quite well, I'm assuming they've recently come out with OOC-away cough drops?

Can you clear something up for me Aidan?

I'm just wondering who you are referring to as 'the cheater'.

I very much look forward to you, Anubis, nit picking every case of OOcitis that occurs in these streets. There was a time when that would make you wildly unpopular. I would love to see how it works out for you.

There was a time when my ancestor would smite people for it. As I am not godly, as he was, I'm forced to resort to polite reminders that these streets are meant for non OOCitis.

There was a man called SuperBee, whom like I said, found a way to earn an undeserved reputation by sharing drug prices within the HQ in an unnecessarily complex fashion. It was this complexity who fooled the FBNs of those times into believing they deserved a certain reputation therefore they could fly through the ranks like nobody else.

I'm sure you remember when the gods had to strip away the reputation of several people at the time to make up for this exploitation.

If I am not able to express myself clearly, Godfather Garcini, either contact me in private or please allow me to go fully OOC since it seems I will not be able to express this otherwise.

Quick disclaimer... it might not have been SuperBee himself but a close relative of him. It was a while ago...

No, that explanation was more than satisfactory. I was more concerned about you accusing somebody of being willing to cheat, in turn, calling them a cheater. When there is no proof of that ever happening.

This whole conversation amazes me the sheer elitism of some people and they wonder why it is rare new blood comes to our streets

Don Aidan.

I am not sure where you have got the idea that at any point I condoned, approved of, applauded or supported cheating, whatever this 'cheating' thing that differs so much from my perspective of cheating is.  If you read my comment without prejudice, you will no doubt realise that I was applauding him for being able to exploit insects.

So, retrospectively, as you can probably appreciate, the following is a bit of a rash statement to make:

"You disgust me, defending the actions of somebody who would cheat."

It should be pointed out to the masses, that at no point did I do this.  I am not sure where this gem of a accusation has come from.

That is my final word.

Good day to ye'

Slander Aidan?

"You disgust me, defending the actions of somebody who would cheat."

I mean, surely if your gonna throw accusations like that around then please support them with facts!

I was just responding to the comment of somebody defending a cheater. Maybe he was defending him going by his extremely narrow definition and misinterpretation of what I was talking about when referring to cheating. If somebody cheats and the person next to me compliments him on his cleverness to exploit a loophole in the system, I wouldn't want to be associated with that person.

But like I said, he misunderstood what I meant by cheating, therefore, I'm not sure if he is still defending his actions. In any case, I suspect he very much understood what I meant and tried to make fun of me. He even admitted to "assuming" to what I meant. Well, his assumption was wrong, and it is hard for me to read without prejudice the words of somebody who is trying to push my buttons and who is willing to chase me down IRC avenue to openly insult me.

There have been times where people have been shot for that. I think this conversation has gone off topic and unfortunately very few people are trying to discuss what is important.

I had some time to kill so I didn't mind coming out here again, but the fact that people are picking on my OOCitis when there are MANY other speeches riddled with them proves that this is personal, that some people enjoy debating with me. However, I do not need to entertain these people any longer. So I will go back to taking it easy on the streets like I was before and that will leave me even more time to run my family and enjoy the people I work closely with instead of having to be all the time on guard because people will be looking for every tiny mistake they can find in my speech.

Im sorry if im bringing up old news and if its been discussed before - Maybe i should start a thread myself on this issue, but do you class this as cheating? Yes he exploited the system - yes he was clever in doing. Cheat or Genius?

Cheat. Pure and simple.

Jesus fucking Christ this is getting boring.

I DID NOT congratulate him on exploiting whatever "system" this is you are talking about.  It was a fucking play on words, bugs = insects.  

Therefore we can make the only logical assumption:

I congratulated him on being able to EXPLOIT INSECTS.

I made a joke, albeit a bad one, and you continue to make defamatory accusations of my character.  I can't find an example in here where I have made untrue, defamatory comments about you, please point me in the right direction if I have missed any glaringly obvious slanderous, defamatory statements directed at your good self?

WOW!!! Sam.. you understand that we are talking about cheating MafiaReturns, right? NOT cheating an old lady of their purse or cheat a homeless bum of their life?

And by the way, if you have to wonder if it has been discussed before, shouldn't you get up to speed on what has been said before you before making such a comment?

Cabbie, it has been addressed until the point of boredom how much IRC Avenue is a part of our life. I don't have "ze logs" handy, but you remember today earlier when you called me a moron in the most public coffeeshop?

I realize I am opening myself wide open for you to say something even nastier, but I'll happily give you the room to insult me further in the streets to see where that leads us.

I think you will find i was asking a straightforward question. Opinions are ok to ask for arent they? Either way Aidan,  i dont particularly wanna get into a street spat with you. It was just a fair question i thought.

With your point on "getting up to speed", unfortunately i havent been around for many years. So im not down with what has happened in the past. I just wanted views on this issue and i didnt have the time to trowl through the streets and find out what had happened and what people thought.

Aidan,

You are defaming people (me) with no basis in reality.

You are continually referring to OOC elements of this thing of ours, and assaulting my integrity as a member / user of this community.  In effect, you are directly assaulting my character in response to a joke I made that you didn't get / understand........

And you wonder why I say the things I do to you on IRC Avenue?  If nothing else today, you have demonstrated how to not go about dealing with tricky situations and as per usual your solution has been to throw facts around that have no basis in reality to back your quite spurious babble up.

Rather than dressing up threats to kill me in invitations to sink down to your level and start throwing flagrantly untrue statements around, why don't you just shoot me and be done with, but it will only serve to make you look vacuous and inane.
