I believe he is a new DoF recruit.
Not a Balion, Madoc is correct as he is a DoF recruit. He is also a player who paid money for the game, played on a server you paid the same amount to play on (nothing), and was what appears to be unrightfully kicked by players who did not have the authority to do so because they were trying to "do something" when they easily could have scheduled time on someones server or just switched servers themselves. I'm not gonna lose sleep over it....but that's the point I've been laboriously trying to make.Lord Serius 说:It doesn't matter. He made it a big deal, and i seen the vote go up ONCE. Is he a Balion Merc?
MadocComadrin 说:If a kick goes through, its majority rules. If TheThe has a problem with being votekicked/banned then he should take it up with Jest about removing polls or increasing the acceptance threshold.
Before GK had a server, we would find random servers to practice on, and it was hard because as soon as we'd find a server with the settings we wanted (which was very hard to do at the time), someone would see our numbers and come in. Now if they didn't interfere with us training, then it wasn't a problem. But if we have to ask them more than a few times politely to leave us alone, then we brought out the kick polls.
Just as well, he said they could have been doing something. Since the clan only has five members, either they were on completely by themselves, or there was a fair number of people on the server as well. Either way, if someone set up the poll and the majority agreed with it, then the majority of players on the server wanted him kicked for some reason or another. If it was the latter, he could have easily found another server (more easily than a clan trying to practice).
What I don't approve of is him trying to stir up drama over something so trivial. If he was asked politely to not do whatever got him kicked and didn't, then perhaps the kick was justified.

Quite a few of assumptions in your analysis of the situation. But, I see a DramaLama in the works so I'm gonna retreat behind my flameshield and let my comments stand for the time it would take to eventually come to a semi-resolution of agreeing to disagree (for I feel neither one of us is abliged to compromising our viewpoints) is not worth the personal reward to me. Last comment of the matter, this wouldn't happen on my server.
Best Regards

I agree (to disagree) as I also see a Dramallama building. I did make quite a few assumptions, but we didn't have much information an the plaintive has yet to post any further, so I say the matter should be closed as well. Besides, a a drawn-outdiscussion of server ehtics would be quite boring anyway, dont'cha think![]()

Seems pretty clear, looks like aMadocComadrin 说:Wait, what happened to IPWN?
by the "Majority" gotpredat0r 说:RANDOM kick/ban polls
But thats no big deal because it's not the majorities fault they can dictate to IPWN how much he plays a game he bought with his own money. He should take it up with the ones who are allowing polls in the first place and maybe even the ones who created such instruments of chaotic social control because they are clearly there to be abused to dictate the will of the majority.predat0r 说:IPWN got poll banned for no reason and had to wait

MadocComadrin 说:What you don't know is an ex GK member is part of KToH and the poll may have gone up as a joke between a GK and an ex GK (or heck, IPWN has put up random ban/kick poll for himself on more than one occasion). Nice try for irony, but like you said earlier yourself, too many assumptions in your analysis
All I was trying to do was find out more about the situation.

pff fineLord Serius 说:Please everyone. Thank you for bumping this thread for more views, but you're really attracting unwanted attention from people who like to flame. I understand your conversation and I appreciate your intelligent words about it, but I really don't need these posts. It was a jest server, and we were practicing. Madoc agreed with us because a clan trying to find an empty server to practice on is much harder than one person finding a server to hang out on. We have a server now, it's all fine.
