Camelot Revisited: A Timeline

[THE OBSERVER]

Poke Glass Onion with a pointy stick. I haven't been able to get a response from him for some reason. I'm ready to start whenever he is.

I've sent the message. Hope he gets it.

Stabilize him in Dallas before being airlifted. Mav is banned so you can't ask him anymore, his father is a surgeon and Mav helped me with the ballistics for the Ambassador scene in TID. We'll forgive you for this shortcut, no point in twisting yourself into knots over it.

Hmm, I did talk to Maverick earlier about some medical stuff come to think of it. Maybe some details are in that PM.

Anyway, why was Mav banned?

He messaged me, so I think he got your message. Thanks.

Mav: Abuse of mod power.

What'd he do?

Very long story.

The former moderator Maverick has been banned for massive sabotage of the board.

For some reason he decided to permanently, unrecoverably delete most of his own posts (about 10,000). Mods, BTW, have been explicitly told never to use permanent delete.

In doing this a "side effect" is that it erased every thread he started. Including Hall of Infamy IV, which he apparently tried to "fix" by copying and editing my Hall of Infamy III post. Leaving a pithy note in the mod forum that he'd accidentally deleted a couple of threads but no problem, they were fixed now.


He may have been unaware that I have a log of every time moderator powers were used, ever.

Investigation of the log revealed other irregularities.

He developed a habit of merging related threads into single megathreads, such as "Libyan Civil War" and "July 20 plot". Each merge typically threw 50+ threads into one. Some of this occurred in Chat, which moderators are explicitly told to leave to me except in emergencies. Naturally, he never notified anyone that he was doing this.

He moved hundreds of old threads from AH to sandbox, probably because they popped up in a search for "DBWI". A quick check revealed that most met my explicit criteria for NOT moving into sandbox - the people involved were creating an ATL using the generic voices of people who lived there, but not roleplaying in any way.

He also seemed to use his position of power to be a bit of a dick. A couple of days ago, I had to officially warn him for being insulting and basically taunting people who were put off by it.


After a careful consideration of all of these factors, taking a good thirty seconds, I decided to ban him.

Wow, maybe I should have run for a Moderator after all.

After the Beatles Timeline.

After the Beatles Timeline.

And once again, when is that gonna start?

Maybe today, tomorrow, or in the next few days. We're conferencing on the first post right now as a matter of fact. All of it is done, and we're just tweaking here and there.

EDIT: Maybe later if you guys want a prettier LP cover.

If the cover is holding you down, I would just release it now and edit the cover in, a la EdT.

I agree. Screw the cover, u can edit it in later. Start it up.

 

[ZincOxide]

Any word on this?

Bumpity

 

[THE OBSERVER]

Ah, let's just forget about this TL. Dunno if it'll ever be done.

It will. I keep telling you guys, after the Beatles timeline.

 

[THE OBSERVER]

There you go again!

 

[Paul V McNutt]

I am sorry to read of Maverick's power trip. I licked his stuff, both here and Different World's.

Wait a minute...

Are the two mutually exclusive? I have a Republican mobster Kennedys* TL and was working on a cultural TL and decided to merge them. The result is Sour Imperium (with the great JoeMulk).

Could Camelot Revisited contain your Beatles TL?

This seems much more inclusive and interesting, imvho. Something to consider...

*Though they're called the Johnsons due to the patriarch being Enoch "Nucky" Johnson instead of Joe Sr...

This is a Kennedy TL. Not a Reagan one.

The Beatles one me and Glass Onion are working on (which, btw, he did give me a nice big update on. He just hasn't gotten back to me yet on what we could add to what he wrote. I should probably poke him, but I've had a broken laptop for two weeks and the flu or something since Saturday so, yeah) is a seperate universe from this one. Though when I get back to this one, it will have quite a lot of cultural stuff. I find politics is boring if it's only just politics; I want you to feel like the world is alive. The Beatles and music will be of special concern as well. I'm not killing Paul McCartney off in this reality's iterration of the Beatles, though.
