Baudle is my hero

I love Baudle. He's really shaping up to be the Most Valuable Moderator of 2012 in my opinion, though I suspect he may have a secret identity and the true honors may belong to someone much more squeezable.

Baudle has such an eloquent way of putting things:

Baudle, may we bathe in the edifying light of your elegant juxtapositions for many years to come!

In that light, I nominate Rokien as Most Valuable Poster of 2012. May he bring forth Baudle's radiance with more frequency, so that we may bathe in its edifying light and have our minds lifted up.

What a suck up you are. lol?

Edit: Also this thread is an attack towards another player, therefore it is against the rules and should be locked asap and everyone needs to discontinue it. I'm really surprised that we lack respect for one another. I don't see any other forum with this level of disrespect.

You should do the whole thing

Hello,

This thread's ratio of Constructive vs. Non-Constructive posts has hit a poor balance, so I'm going to be locking this for now.

I understand that some people may see threads unnecessary or inflammatory by their nature, but the only acceptable avenues for this are to either ignore the thread, add the poster to your ignore list, or reporting the thread to the moderator. Taking it upon yourself to post aggressive or inappropriate comments only runs the risk of backlash when it comes time to moderate the thread.

Thank you for your understanding.

I believe that was an attempt at quote+copypasta gone wrong.

It's true, Baudle's entire post does edify us further. His exhortation to check our aggressive desires and inappropriate comments strikes a chord with me especially. With our MVP around, it is easy to take the dark path of aggression. Stay strong my fellow posters and perservere! Heed Baudle's words!

You're all nothing without cheesecake. Period.

Baudle is your hero, so you're going to make his time more difficult by posting topics that are obviously going to end up locked.

Great work.

It just means that I'll be reporting every single one of your thread duplications from now on, Roiken, even if you do try to mask them under different 'ideas'.

There's no small ways about it. Your threads were locked because you were the problem. You're intentionally skirting the bounds of the rules to annoy players. You are well aware of your reputation and you're trying to use it to your advantage to provoke the responses you are getting, which can also be called 'baiting'.

Please control yourself in the future. As skirting the bounds of the rules means you'll be watched more carefully for when you slip over in the slightest ways. Keep your topics down to the general goals you intend rather than splitting hairs to split threads - and you might actually get better responses.

Like any great sage of old, Baudle would enjoy the chance to edify us, his pupils whenever he sees fit.

Nope, your SE account rules state it & as your using your SE account to log into forums it "could" still apply, but im not any other those things i listed so i couldnt tell you for sure if it applys here or not.

Nevermind i think your right, different rules here

I'm no Baudle, but I'd like to remind you all to stay on topic, refrain from personal attacks, and try to keep to the uplifting and positive tone of this thread.

Who is worse, the guy who spouts those things, or the guy who intentionally goes about provoking multiple people who spouts those things.

Do you blame the bugs that sting you when you smack a hornets nest? You know the consequences of flooding the forums with inane topics, you do so anyways. The vulgar responses you receive is just the fringe of the bulk of the players who are exasperated by your inability to catch a hint and calm down on the posting.

Are they wrong for being vulgar? Yes. Are you also wrong for baiting them? Yes, stop doing it.

How is Rokien impersonating a GM again?

I think we handled that little caveat, Dragon.

Be sure to note that in your Facebook Group.

Perhaps so, though if I seem to upset a group of people in the street, I sure as hell don't hang around to see if they'll grow to like me, regardless of if what I'm saying is of importance to them.

Not saying you have to quit, but, take a different approach to the crowd? (I think that's what I'm trying to say)

tl;dr put rokien on your ignore list.

Rokien will go on my ignore list the moment they make ignore list = that person's posts or threads do not exist. Or I'll settle for the post being completely impossible to see, not just "Hey look! LOOK HERE! THIS GUY! YOU KNOW THIS GUY WHO YOU IGNORED!!! Yeah. He posted here. RIGHT HERE! ... do you wanna see it?"

When I put someone on ignore, there should be no indication that he posted at all, anywhere, on my screen. No indication of his threads on my interface, not even on the popular topics.

The fact that Roiken baits players to pull his topics at the top of the Hotlist bypasses all attempts to put him on ignore. Until that feature functions in a manner that prevents abuse of the forum system as described above, it is simply more productive to report or risk moderator action to insure that his threads get locked and his behavior properly criticized.

I've never seen you be anything but a sweetheart Rokien. You just state your opinion a heck of a lot - unpopular ideas a lot of the time I guess. I think that's what people have against you. I've never once seen you make a personal attack against anyone despite all the hateful, inappropriate and immature harassment you get. :)

Ok, you have a point here.

And that shouldn't go without note. But there are other ways of being abusive. And perhaps I'm not considering his age in this regard, but being a nice guy, and 'that' nice guy are entirely two different distinctions.

He's breached the tolerance level of quite a few people on these boards. And although he can be polite about it, he has to realize that what he's doing is excessive, and excessive is wrong as well.

As I stated before, if he condenses down his ideas into something unified and compact, it'll show a greater depth to his thinking and quite simply seem less like spam for the attention and more like genuine ideas that reach towards an understandable goal - even if that goal is agreed or disagreed with.

With all due respect, the tolerance level of people on these forums is quite low and they're quick to jump down someone's throat about anything.

If you have a problem with him personally, perhaps constructive criticism is better than jumping at the chance to report him for not agreeing with the way he posts. I mean no disrespect, I hope you don't see this that way. Just a suggestion.

I honestly don't feel that he's seeking attention with his threads, but rather trying to get people to think about things, and fighting hard for what he believes in. He just ends up with a lot of those "GTFO your idea sucks" people. ._.; (Not saying you're one of them. D: )

I do have to say, thank you Nabiri, that made me smile :D

I just wish people would treat each other with more kindness and respect. You don't deserve all the hate you get. I just wanted you to know that. I don't mean to take sides or anything like that. Would just be nice to see more tolerance for each others differences. We don't have to agree with someone all the time to show them respect.

I have a feeling I should run and hide now before the flames start! haha :x
Edit: Oh wait, that's right... I HAVE A FORT! XD *ducks behind barrels*

Ok, so has anyone actually received some of this so-called backlash from posting off-topic replies in an attempt to get a dumb thread locked?

Yeah, you will get temp banned from the forums at the very least.

Also I'd like everyone to remember to stay on topic. This is not a time to discuss our MVP, but rather our MVM.

I got caught in the collatoral damage of a thread last week, even though I didn't break any rules seemingly. So just be warned if your posting in a inflamitory thread, don't even quote inflamitory posts as it seems you will catch the painfull end of the stick as well.

To be on point of the topic though...

I think the entire forum has a long way to go in respecting one another for their ideals and opinions. I too often see the "Casual vs Hardcore" war just flat out turn into both sides spitting vitrol regardless of the topic at hand it usually gets put on the back-burner and the limelight becomes who can post the most witty retort about the other side of the argument.

We need to discuss things like adults. If you come to the forums and are not willing to be civil with everyone then it's those people who need to "Get out"

I just wanted to say-

I forgot what I wanted to say.

Lol, best mod ever.

If there was a Roiken Vs. Random bitch forum user, id vote for Roiken :p

People tried, and failed.
At 4° thread on surplus he opened in his life , or the 5 topic on whatever dead horse is beating in 1° page, people run off of his patience. That because now no one is giving a shit of whatever he could say. As common folk say : you reap what you sow

The title made me think, perhaps insanely-so, a full party of judge templars running around in-game with a trail of screenshots of their adventures and/or conquests.

At a glance, the English-speaking judge templars that I could find were:
Baccanale, Xophious, Emdub, Qeepel, Bublex, Skirata, Jhanaka, Baudle, Duckbill, and Aethingie

Uh oh... Neptune! What have we done!? *vision hidden from public eyes*

Oh my Twelve, I've foreseen it with my crystal ball of yarn.
On the day the servers go down before the 2.0 beta.
It happens when the servers can't go down until all the players have been logged off.
Players enjoying the present before the world is remade in Yoshida's image.
The judge templars arrive in full armor.
And so the GMvP content begins.
The GMs run into the towns, through the wards, kicking down inn doors, and chasing people into instances.
They cast spells that make our characters die horrible Mortal Kombat-like deaths.
The GMs decide to reverse our anima on us. They teleport us out of whatever activity we're doing and into the jail.
From there, Yoshida walks by the cell, giving us one last smile, a wink, and a thumbs up...
And then the GMs unleash old-style AoE fury in our jail cell (the AoE that does not have a maximum target cap).
It may only look like 40 of us die, but the entire server population is in that jail cell. The new engine will show more characters dying.
The blood option may have been implemented during this vision as I distinctly remember the judge templars being soaked in red.
The GMs would have taken many screenshots and videos, treasuring the moments that they got to learn us a lesson. Yes, they learned us... to death.
Our characters are consequentially banned for a month (no beta entry), lose Legacy status, oh...
and Gobbue dies. Spoilers, sorry.

I do take it to far sometime, ya. Though, you should be happy that I do care about the game. I want it to be successful and not like every other mmo that's being released with big hype and falling. Do I even have to name them? That's what is going to happen with this MMO if they keep copying others. They have to do something unique, that everyone is going to be like "WOW, this game is amazing, i can play it for 10years". So far everything that I have seen will diminish those 10 years to maybe a few years. The people who will stay are going to be FF fans, ya know, people who played FFXI/any FF. SO, they might as well cater to their core fans(ffxi) before catering to everyone else. Everyone else will just jump the boat as soon as they see something they don't like.

The best rout they could have done was made a FFXI-2 just like guild wars did with their second mmo.

Also just read through some of this thread, you probably have already, but it's pathetic on what some people say.

A lot of people here play since launch and before. Any of these people care this game much as you, or they would'nt play until now. Caring the game thou don't make you special. There's a limit ow people can be pedant on a feature he like; limit you cross far too often.
also, what you say don't have any sense:
-you want a unique mmorpg, but you want ffxi-2...a sequel (and a sequel of a very niche game too)
-you say the ones will remain with such features will be only FF fans, when the features you have in mind come from western mmorpgs and are a standard de facto, aimed to cater a wider audience. But hardly a carbon copy
-ffxi hardcores are the one least willing to western features

Next time pls, don't look the finger pointing at the moon please. There are planned good features aside the one you hate

Baudle has never closed a thread that didn't need to be closed.
