Still awaiting authorisation...

MrWhereItsAt · October 22, 2003, 05:37

This is for me and everyone else who is still awaiting authorisation to join a team forum -

To those capable of authorising players - check who is waiting and please authorise them/ refuse them.

Thank you.

Nubclear · October 23, 2003, 01:16

Haha! You deserve this!

Drogue · October 23, 2003, 16:54

We have no-one awaiting CyCon authorisation. Which team did you try to join? Did you PM the leader?

Snowflake · October 23, 2003, 17:01

He is one of the Drones Function Drogue.

Drogue · October 23, 2003, 17:18

Ahhh. That explains it then. I presumed to not be authorised he must either be going for Drones or PUT, since they are less active on the main forum here.

We are extremely active!

One of us posts regularly in the turn tracking thread!

MrWhereItsAt · October 23, 2003, 17:48

Yes, I have been awaiting authorisation to join the Drones.

I can personally attest that the PUT is the second least active faction on Planet.

The Drones being the last, of course

Voltaire · October 23, 2003, 22:10

I cannot access the Hive private forums for some reason. It says I need authorization, but I cannot give it to myself. Bah!

Archaic · October 24, 2003, 00:30

The only people currently waiting for access to the PUT are people who either
a) We don't want (ie. Tass)
b) Attempted to join more than one faction
or
c) Have not made any posts.

Snowflake · October 24, 2003, 00:33

All the crimson guards were searching for your keys dear Chairman and guess where they found it?

Speaking of which....Currently, DanQ (Moderator and Co-owner of Apolyton, on par with MarkG) is attempting to authorise me into the PUT forums, and it would be much simpler if you would simply do it for him.
However, we can simply wait for DanQ to sort it out if you wish

Though I consider it a non issue for various reasons. One of which being that your faction is now completly unimportant to me.
However, it is now my duty to enforce the rules of this game even upon you Archaic

Edited to reflect my opinions more clearly.

Archaic · October 24, 2003, 06:44

I am not the only faction leader who has no trust in your honesty Tass, given both your past actions, and the string of "co-incidences" over the past few months in relation to you and this game. The day you have access to the PUT forum is the day I no longer participate in this Demo Game. There is no need for you to have access to our forum for whatever reason as far as I am concerned, nor will there ever be while Googlie is our CMN.

Snowflake · October 24, 2003, 09:42

Of course everybody can have their own opinions on everything, but must we fight in public?

Nubclear · October 24, 2003, 11:29

Honghu is correct. I've taken this fight into PMland.

DeathByTheSword · October 24, 2003, 13:07

ah...damn...i just got some popcorn....no i have to find another fight....

Drogue · October 24, 2003, 14:05

Post deleted, was generally tasteless and none of my business

jtsisyoda · October 24, 2003, 15:02

MWIA,
Please go to CGN (civgaming.net) and PM Buster about joining the Drones. CGN is where the Drones forum is. We don't really use the forum here on Poly.

Hercules · October 24, 2003, 17:34

I kinda think MWIA is making a point that the Drones make little or minimal contribution to the RP part of this forum. They tend to contribute on points of 'fact', rather than, in place of (serious/humourous) debating points.

jtsisyoda · October 24, 2003, 20:59

I'm completely confused now. Maybe I'll just go find a hole and hide and not post for a while.

MrWhereItsAt · October 25, 2003, 00:26

CGN? Ah crap - I'd prefer not to leave Poly, where possible. So are you saying I need to revise my idea on which faction would be nice to join? I REALLY don't want to join the one with the most citizens (Hive), and I always play as the Uni or CyCon, so I'd have preferred to see the tactics for a different faction for once.

And Herc - I wasn't actually. I just wanted to learn how to use the Drones well, and thought that joining the team would help. But thanks for crediting me with far more sarcastic wit than I possess.

Nubclear · October 25, 2003, 00:45

MWIA: Well, here are some stats I gather off the top of my head:

Activity:

1. Hive
2. CyCon
3. Pirates
4. Drones
5. Uni

RPing:
1. Hive
2. CyCon
really distant 3. Pirates
4. Uni
5. Drones

Spam Factor

1. CyCon
2. Hive
3. Pirates
4. Drones
5. Uni

For you, I'd suggest CyCon.

Archaic · October 25, 2003, 03:02

Thank you to all the people who've emailed me in support of my position. Especially the faction leaders.

Tass, I'm not even going to give your PM a response. I've said my peace. I see no reason why you need any sort of access to our forums, and I will leave if you get yourself authorised. There is nothing more to discuss.

Likewise, I would like to thank the faction leaders and members whom have given me support as well

And I still see no reason why you could not stay. If it would impair your enjoyment to the point where you would leave the game, then I will drop the issue and request to not be authorized into the PUT forums.

Archaic · October 25, 2003, 07:58

You having anything to do with the organisation of the game has already ruined much of my enjoyment of it. It is hard to have a fun game when one of the people supposedly moderating it has shown himself time and time again to not be worthy of any trust.

jtsisyoda · October 25, 2003, 08:50

Tass, you forgot this ranking:

Kicking a*@ and taking names:
1. Drones
2-5. Hive/Uni/CyCon/Pirates (tie)

And the Pirates are my favorite RPer's.

"Up yours, Wire-wing!" -JDM

MWIA,
Unlike IRL, you can be in two places/forums at once. Try it, you'll like it.

And I joined the Drones for the same reason you mentioned. I don't regret it.

Nubclear · October 25, 2003, 15:11

I hope the drones will forgive me

Looking at the spam ranking for CyCon, what are you suggesting about me?

Cheers Tass - this may turn out to be one of the most useful posts in this thread.

I really don't want to leave Poly, so unless the Drones actually authorise me here, I'll likely just try my luck with another team.

jtsisyoda · October 25, 2003, 19:34

Well, MWIA, if you were authorized in the Poly Drone forum, it wouldn't help, because all of our discussion is on CGN. If it's that much of an obstacle to you, go ahead and pick another faction. As long as you don't mind losing, that is.

It's not about leaving 'Poly at all - it's about adding another rich source of information and enjoyment surrounding this remarkable game called SMAC

If you look at my own post count at 'Poly, you see that I am a very active member here ...... but also at the Civgaming, and ACOL, Forums and even an ocasional visitor to the Civ Org and Arborwood Forums
