    i only went through and removed the bickering between all of you that was going on in the 3 topics. i then removed all the quoting to prevent the argument from recurring

    armour  3.2kg

    swords 6kg

    carving knife .4kg

    butcher knife .4 kg

    flint/steel  .5 kg

    waterskin  2.75 kg

    spyglass   2 kg

    10 onion   .25 kg

    pick       2 kg

    Bok        .49 Kg

    17.99 kg running

    Let's take this as an example.

    Armour: Not required at all. Just a little added bonus for an enemy you are likely to never meet.

    Swords: Minimally required. More than the armor, but still useless since you can make them after you settle anyway.

    Carving knife: Required. Definitely.

    Butcher knife: Not required, you can botanize/forage for food to eat or use in stews.

    Flint/steed: Required for making fires.

    Waterskin: Minimally required. If you're so worried about dying of thirst, settle next to a lake - you can get fish there, too!

    Spyglass: Totally unrequired.

    10 onion: Again, unrequired. Forage/botanize.

    Pick: Required for cutting trees and mining.

    Bok: Unrequred.

    lets see.... the way the topic came across to me.... what of MY personal gear would i take if i had to sstart all over again.

    all this forage / botting is fine, but i'd much rather take the extra .65 KG and hit the gound running with 5 fields growing and 5 meals cooking while i remake all my tools etc

    as to my unrequired spyglass and bok.....

    spyglass for scouting and planning and creature avoidance.  bok for storing keys teeth and carving knife / butcher knife

    hate to die and lose all that too......... o wait,  thats what the armour and swords are for  :)

    you may want to re-read my last 50 posts and double check emerald.

    Why? They all know what they'd see. You just don't get it man. I'm the devil. That's what I do best. I'm blatantly honest because I have nothing to lose and that's why no official powers have ever been granted me... because they would just get in the way.

    blatantly honest is one thing. i prefer honest truth to sugar coated crap anyway.  a blatant lie is another.

    as i said, bring forth this thing that has you so cranked against me so we can all see and judge, chances are pretty good it doesn't exist mate.

    Nothing personal (because I don't know you IN REAL LIFE) but adding Pacer as a CM was a mistake, a bad mistake. I spent my first 3 weeks or so on home mostly watching kchat and the way he handled himself there before he was CM. Imo, that was enough to want to smack him, instead he somehow mooched up to O and got heralded for it. Adding him to Mod level in the forums was an even worse mistake. He becomes WAY too involved in threads and seems to even egg-on discontent any chance he gets. Any other mods or devs want proof?... just bring up a list of his last 50 or so posts... and pay close attention to those he's made after becoming a CM.

    LOL    ok then, please provide some log backup for this. if you really must know, i have been NOTHING but helpful and polite in JK. i was muted once ever for an off the wall comment i made. period.    if you have some logs of me doing something to the contrary please, feel free to PM them to me, or by all means, post them up, as i have nothing to hide.

    as to my appointment being a bad move, again i LOL.  as to mooching up to O, man, are you delusional?

    @ me sowing discontent in any thread i post in.... you may want to re-read my last 50 posts and double check emerald.

    lets just look at my last 50 posts shall we..

    hmm   5 in this topic

        8 in my coliseum thread

    2 in a thread about programming software

    15 in town cryer

    2 in a post about foul language

    1 in the CM grats post

    5-7 in the tanks thread

    then about 8 more in town cryer

    on a side note, we are getting away from the point of this topic.

    Topics get locked fast because at least 30% of the people playing this game have forum moderating access. They kinda sit around and twiddle their thumbs and wait for the slightest "flame" or "off topic" post to pop up, then they immediately quash it.

    It's those very things that lend a forum a certain amount of flavor in moderation, and allow people to distinguish themselves. If moderation gets any more strict we're going to be reduced to mechanical post-bots, restricted to praising Rolf and posting "1+" everywhere.

    I always think of diplomatic, politically correct ways to voice my discontent, then forget how I worded it like ten minutes later.

    Yep.

    The fact that 40% of the player base are CM's and that they all have different standards and no one ever bothered to write out guidelines for them to follow/they have no accountability doesn't exactly help either.

    well theres 2 without even trying..

    Yes, I do agree with FK that sometimes they go too far. I do realize that the Ninja Logoff thread (yes, this one again) was starting to derail to finger-pointing and needed to be LOCKED, but to completely remove it from being viewed? Somewhere in there, people were actually debating on the intended use of the invulnerability upon login. Instead of seeing any answers from the dev team, which would have cleared the issue up, the topic is removed as if it's not even a problem.

    first off seige, you speak on things you do not know. if it would help alleve the worry to your precious mind, the topic was moved to a spot where rolf was better able to view it, and to prevent further flaming on said topic. you make assumptions without fully knowing the details.

    When Forum mods lock a topic or delete it it all goes down on record.

    Yes it does, but the people who should be viewing that record simply do not care.

    More strict you say? That's probably a pretty bad idea, this is already the most strict forum I've ever been involved with, and the discontent of the people that visit it shows.

    most strict you say..... LOL sir, just LOL.

    go look at the majority of respectable games websites, and tell me if you see 1/2 of the negativity / whining / flaming / TROLLING   that goes on here. feel free to link them up if you must carry on this invalid argument

    try basic math there.   you constantly attempt to overinflate this number whenever anyone is picked as a new CM/GM who isn't you.

    "OMG 25% of the player base is a CM now" was almost a direct quote from you when niobe and i were chosen

    "gee, 40 % of the players are Gm's" upon announcement of Lex's appointment

    "OMG 75% of the player base is now Cm" upon announcement of idara/ caliphae and Daz.

    you consistently flirt with the line and troll every single forum around waffles. maybe its time for you to move on already

    [

    I have to agree 100% with Siege

    Topics should not be immediatly locked but rather just have flame posts removed and those who quote to have that part edited out etc

    Moderation is good, but not in an extreme

    FK,  we spend a good hour - 2 EACH cleaning up retardedness around here. in most cases the trolls are turning out faster than we can clean. hence (locked) end of story

    well, lets see.

    1. 3/4 of forum is nothing but trolling / offtopic/ flaming / crying / negative attitude, that quite frankly, alot of us are getting tired of.

    2. after a post runs for a few, you get a feel when it has done its job or is turning downward.

    3. 1/2 of this forum is all in the wrong places anyway

    4. referring back to the amranta apology, your missed the 3 bash posts s/he made prior to that, so try to gather all the facts about a situation before you judge.

    5. this thread in itself..... gee, while i was typing look what ya did... created a troll mound

    When Forum mods lock a topic or delete it it all goes down on record.

    They cant just secretly lock a topic, if they lock a topic it gets discussed and recorded. So its not just DM locking it thinking hurr hurr. Its DM locking it and the other Forum mods agreeing with it.

    Its about time forum mods got more strict.

    thank you madt. don't worry, it's coming

    with such a negative view of expletives it's amazing you made so many friends while you spent time in the service of your amazing country

    i never said i have a negative view, hell i've used most of them myself.

    but there is a time and place.....dropping F bombs isn't going to land you a stellar job interview.

    blathering curse words all the time makes you look unintelligent in most situations. period. end of story.

    we all know what the rules are regarding the language. deal with it and move on.  name me any MMO type game you can sit and blather along in a tirade in its MAIN PUBLIC HELP / GENERAL CHAT CHANNEL without getting muted / warned / told to shove off
