Even ā€œShow me the wulesā€ said it was part of the game the day after, the only one that had reason to be offended in the end was his wife that got waked up in the middle of the night.

Start by taking your medication you dam wobbler!
It’s like having intercourse with my wife ā€œIs it in? Is it out?ā€ and so on . . . (You are in this case my penis and my wife is CODE.)

That reads more like someone who isn’t a native English speaker.

In other news, James 315 has apparently finished his work with Minerbumping:

I’m no fan of CODE., but I don’t hate them, either. There was a time when my opinion of them was far less sanguine, but I’ve come to accept that they’re part of what makes EvE the game it is; even though I never read Minerbumping beyond a few specific posts, I still feel a little sad about it finally ending.

As for James himself, the man has always impressed me with his writing speed; I can’t even approach his skills in that area without devolving into incoherent, grammatically horrifying gibberish. Seeing how James has consistently managed to crank out thousands of words a day fills me with a sense of awe that is only outstripped by my envy.

I was also pleasantly surprised to see someone post that CODE. happened to cross paths with Chappy’s hauler en route to his birthday bash and, rather than ganking him like they would anyone else, chose to let him pass so that his wish for an epic brawl would come true. Unless I’m seriously misunderstanding something, the order for that came from none other than James himself! Good on him for that!

So, in light of this news, I’d like to ask @James_315 if he feels like talking about…well, pretty much anything, really. I’m mostly curious about what he plans to do now that he’s moved on from writing posts on Minerbumping, but if he wants to chat about anything else in particular then I’m willing to make conversation with him about it as best I am able. If he thinks the forums will attract too much spume and bile from CODE.'s haters, then I’m perfectly fine with talking here or via in-game private message, as well.

I also don’t know how often he looks at these forums, so if @Aiko_Danuja, @Karak_Terrel, @Australian_Excellence, or anyone else who might have his ear could pass on this request, I’d appreciate it.

Don’t encourage him, there’s a reason Ramona only lets him out occasionally.

Exhibit 1; A McCandless family portrait.

It’s a terribad movie, bad script, poor acting and even worse special effects; so bad in fact, that it’s almost good.

The forums kind of have gotten better again over the last year.
Do you agree? What do you think?

I doubt it’s related to CCP Falcon’s absense. He wasn’t even around most of the time and barely interfered with anything, as far as I remember.

I can’t say that I’ve noticed beyond some missing faces; some that I think highly of and many more that I wouldn’t pee in their mouths if their teeth were on fire.

Falcon got a lot of hate, he also got a lot of love; especially when he was blunt as you like and told it like it was.

I’ve only ever had one run-in with him where I misread a post and inadvertently encouraged someone to off themselves on a livestream with an off the cuff remark. He could have banned me on the spot, instead he sent me a polite PM explaining what I’d done and that if I did anything like it again it wouldn’t stop at a forum ban. When I read it I realised what I’d done and tbh the ban would have been deserved.

I’ve never felt that moderation was out of hand, in fact I’ve always found it to be more lenient than other forums that I frequent. ISD seem to apply the spirit of the rules, not the letter; which I for one appreciate.

I wasn’t around at this time, but I remember this. Plenty of people lost their (forum- ?)chars to this, some are even still around, still crying about it when they get the opportunity to do so. I agree with everything you’ve written about CCP Falcon.

Maybe I should have a better look at the forums again,
but it seems to me that beyond a few toxic carebear elements,
things have kind of calmed down.

Or maybe I’m just old …
… dry …
… discouraged …
… lacking any enthusiasm, drive, motivation and willingness …
… and am dead on the inside.

:thinking:

It was a first offence warning a good few years back, despite shitposting on the forums since 2009 I have only had that warning and an accidental ban that lasted for 2 hours or so when it should have been a warning.

That said I’ve made many posts that should have got me banned, but didn’t; there again the target was generally Veers :man_shrugging:

As for getting old…

I know that feeling, my hair and beard are white, my waistline is trying to become an equator and I’ve recently realised that I’ve spent nearly half a century and most of my money on having a good time, the rest I wasted.
