Well you seem to have minimal interest in being a productive member of the staff lately, so there's that. And I know you'll want to say "what this is all about crazy bots wut lmao". Well you have your own opinion of that tournament that you've made quite clear on a few occasions, and your opinion was logically debunked. Of course you holding on to this has pretty much done nothing but earn you the ire of almost every other staff member. And I mean there's a pretty clear distinction between the mostly good natured heckling and griefing that ARC members have indulged in for more than a decade and just blatant assaulting of others character. It comes across very petty and childish quite frankly.

As for "prewarning". Well it wouldn't be the first time that, once a decision was reached that you didn't care for, you decided to take it out on a currently ongoing tournament by perhaps deleting/removing posts out of spite. Would you have done something like that again? I guess it's fairly unlikely, but your record is against you there so I decided not to risk it.

I think you've been around long enough to realize that ARC is (largely by virtue of it's small size) more a tight-knit community than most sites out there. If you want to indulge in your casual trolling, leave on SomethingAwful or whatever similar sites you frequent. I mean clearly based on other threads like the BattleBots discussion, you're more than capable of actual constructive conversation. Enough time has passed that almost every regular member here is a full adult, so try to act like it a bit more often.

And I'm nothing if not forgiving. I'm not saying "you'll never staff here again" or anything like that. If that was the case, based on prior history you wouldn't have an admin spot to take away.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Being a mod is just convenience so I can setup subforums or move threads or whatever. I just thought it was cool that I make an offhand comment on skype and I get deadmined like I'm being punished or something. Like zero communication. Kody gets hurt feelings and runs to Josh lol.

Also, for what it's worth, the idea to revoke your admin status wasn't even spearheaded by Kody, so you can let go of that little fantasy.

<blockquote class='quote_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd>&nbsp;</dd></dl><div>lmao for real though[/quote]Yeah sure. I said it wasn't likely at all to be an issue, but facts are facts. Let's not pretend you didn't delete the power rankings thread for Aftermath when the big blowup happened.

anyway let's not pretend you didn't vote for your own robots in like 4 straight tournaments, if we're just going to accuse people of stuff

saying that you guys want your 40-0 records to count isn't even a controversial thing, i don't know why it seems to rile you guys up so much. i wish reign of steel counted because i did well and won a trophy.

I don't care if it was some nothing thread in Chit Chat or when it happened, it was a stupid and immature thing to do.[/quote]You're killing me here man. Come on. You honestly believe that I'd use my admin powers to delete like all the results, or the power rankings, or the signup threads, or whatever? Because of what happened in Aftermath? 5 years ago? You were so afraid of this, that you pre-emptively deadmined me?

That's insane. You have to realize how insane that sounds. I don't get clemency for something that happened 5 years ago? Then why ever make me admin or mod in the first place, after that happened&#33; I mean, you really don't trust me to not pull shit like that?

Because that's what I'm getting out of this. I wasn't deadmined because I didn't want to continue crazy bots, or because I made passing comments that you guys only wanted to finish it because you wanted your 40 win records to count. I was deadmined because you think I really would've gone and deleted all the crazy bots stuff, because of something that happened, five years ago&#33; And it wasn't even that bad, it was the rankings thread, which was something I was maintaining so had access to anyway&#33; Doesn't even matter if it was 'childish' (it was) it wasn't like I deleted all of the aftermath threads, like you seem to think I would do here.

Yeah yeah I know we discussed this before, but its impossible to decide your own fights in a fair and impartial manner, simply because you're the one fighting in it. Your argument against Hephaestus or whatever was specifically that you didn't like my RP. Or that you liked your own RP better. OF COURSE YOU DIDNT lol, you wrote your own RP and made your own robot so of COURSE you'd think it'd win.

But I mean, if you don't trust me to not delete threads or whatever, you can probably see why I don't really give you the benefit of the doubt here either.

I'd trash Cutie Honey or Spectrum, or one of your robots, or whatever, yeah. And why not&#33; The complaint I usually end up seeing when you enter something and it does shitty is like "no one ever told me in the first place it was bad". Then when I tell you its bad, now I'm being a jackass.

Other than that, I'd razz kody on skype about, idk, whatever. I really can't imagine what I said that really wasn't just referencing his robots. I mean, if me being a jackass is just because I went around making fun of other people's robots or saying that they were bad, then I gotta say you guys gotta be less sensitive.
