dude, what are you jealous or something?

Lat - I'm mostly taking the squash lessons because I needed to complete the physical recreation section of my Gold Duke of Edinburgh award, though it is a fun game.

As for halls, I was in AV last year but live in Leam at the moment. And no I won't be at the Christmas sessions I'm afraid because I'll be back in Guildford tongue

I'll probably try to turn up to the second half of the Friday session, otherwise I won't be playing any badminton until the weekend after when my brother's term finishes. If you aren't about, then I'm sure I'll bump into you at one of the sessions next term wink

rofl ofc i know beardy, or as i usually hear him called - grumpy the dwarf - i was just being careful cos i know he is a postgrad student, so didnt wanna insult him and then find he was you tongue

i ordered a medium-sized club hoodie so might not get mine next week with the back-up sad

oh and be careful, i noticed that Ben has exactly the same racquet as me, colours and everything tongue

also i got told by rob yesterday that the friday session tends to go on til midday becos no one else uses the hall, so i may well come along at some point after 9am or so, and i put myself down as Jeremy, or sumtimes Jeremy H if the other one is at the session tongue

the friday session involves me getting up at 6am or so, which is kinda of impossible tongue thursday unfortunately coincides with two lectures so i never go.

As for beardy, I know 'some' bearded ppl at badminton, but iv never heard any of them actually called 'Beardy' lol.

and since when is racquet type an identifiable feature of a person? tongue I use a blue and red Yonex Muscle Power 723, which is one of those JJB-only racquets based on the Muscle Power 23. Now you should be able to find me right? tongue

Tournament time in 25 mins

nolio you are a mod not an admin. many times over the course of the last few years we as a community have reached out to the mods to make some important decisions without stefan, like when wad and jag drafted into the playboy fam and blocked two draft spots at the SoR. the mods as a united group refused to do anything becos you were following the rules rigidly and you refused to stray from those rules set out by stefan.

those same rules say nothing about rather severe punishments for a bit of flaming.

For Harassment:
Moderator action: Mods will delete all posts that are deemed harassing after the victim has stated that they do not want further communication with the harasser. In the case of sexual harassment, all offending posts will be deleted. Posts which contain private information about a player or family whether it be real life or game related will be edited accordingly.

For Being Disrespectful to others:
Moderator action: Posts which are deemed to be disrepectful to others or immature will be edited accordingly.

Unconstructive Posts:
Moderator action: Posts which are unconstructive or unhelpful will be construed as spam and edited accordingly.

Flaming and Trolling:
Moderator action: Posts deemed to fall under this category will be edited by mods. Offending threads will be closed. Multiple instances will be deleted.

16. Failure to comply to the rules
Continuous failure to comply to these forum rules will result in a mod-issued forum warning in the offending thread. Further offences made following this warning could result in a temporary or permanent forum or account block, depending on the severity of the offence. You may appeal a decision made by mods/forum mods by discussing the punishment with a full moderator using the regular channels of communication.

You do not set the rules, you enforce them. Nowhere in the rules are you given the right to give people 1 week forum bans for a single offence of flaming.

I'm off boys and girls, got no more time for IC and didn't really even wanna play the semi and final, of the ICC, but i thought id do it for my fam members smile

too much going on at uni, much more work and much more sport, to keep up playing this game. living off campus means i have to get up early, and frankly staying up to make attacks was just becoming a pain. so to all of you that have ever wondered what it would be like to be free, i'll tell you next week tongue

Iv played this game for quite a while now, and never really anticipated quitting before the game itself died, so never thought about a retirement speech of any kind before. Having started by sorting a few names out into different lists, I gave up, realising that there are too many of you. so i will just write a big list, and i while i want all you current players to see that i am grateful to you for being a friend over the last few years, i would especially like to thank the players i knew earlier on, with whom i always got on extremely well, and with whom i managed to have alot of fun, without totally destroying my social life(not at first anyway).

So here goes:

Damon, Mike, Kollop, Xanthus, Smartz, Arocalex, Assys, Baneful, Noir, Zidi, Sylar, Colorado, Gondor, Caranthir, Springy, Yambretta, Mishe, Aldarren, Reallybig, Killabeeze, Magoria, Cooljad, King Gel, Empire of Zeuz, Out of Control, Socca, Daylight, Primo, Wendy, Arsy, Lateralis, Haribo11, Insane, Shaz, The DEvil's Adjutant, Hudson, Taz, Snikuz, WiWi, Vario, Deathwatch, Nightwish, Holyempire, LewLew, Ledukas, Jaime, Coolman, Hookipa, Naci, Broker, Fungus, Masse, Translucent Night, Darkant, Glue, Dutcher, Dutchwing, Sushi, Pollux, Nox, Lamda, Solo Wing, Godland(rofl), Dukey,

But lastly i would especially like to thank those that have been regular members of my fams, some even for over 3 years non stop every round: Iggo, Deen, Gamer, Metatron, and my brother Ed(who i find odd to thank like this when i'll see him on friday lol).

Maybe I'll be back next summer when i have a bit more time, but at the moment even that doesn't seem likely I'm afraid wink

So goodbye everyone, and I wish you all the best.

P.S. Just a quick warning, anyone who starts spamming me on msn asking me to bank 'inactively' for them, will be blocked tongue

my post has nothing to do with gary.

nolio you can't just issue a 1 week forum ban for a little flaming. thats not the way it works, and its not what the rules dictate. if you mods are going to be 100% strict about some issues, like not making certain decisions without stefan, then you should be enforcing all rules 100% by the book, not making it up as you go along. a little flaming has never deserved a 1 week ban.
