, I guess, is that this could've just been a simple...
"promise not to do it again"
"ok, sorry"
"cool, done"
...but instead people are picking sides and making drama and it's not cool.
Also, I hereby submit my application for OPhood. That is all.

Sorry, as I said, that was never my intent here. I said the same to Maru privately.
PEDIT: Okay what. No. I'm sleeping on this.

Honestly i see too many people jumping at the chance to be op
I don't think too many people should have that power.
It is EASY to abuse.
I'm on all the time, Im sure i would make a great op, and by that virtue, I believe that disqualifies me. those who aspire to positions of power usually should not have positions of power.
just read every 19th letter (the numbering of where "h" is on the alphabet, backwards) and try to jumble all the letters into "hiraki is communist OP overlord. love him wit ur hearts"

I know for a fact that my own request was a joke for the sake of a lighter atmosphere.
I disagree with the last line though. If there's no aspiration there is no accomplishment.
That's another personal motto; it's higher up than my Minecraft motto: "you can always have more".
Just to clarify, as a pm fro mtbone made me think of this.
I am paying the bill, this is NOT my Server. This is MS's Server. If I went crazy rampage overlord, all it would take is any one of you to log in to BowlofNoodle's Live Chat and talk to Corin (our old host who works with the new hosts) and explain the situation, and ask for a copy of the files, and he would gladly gladly gladly gladly provide them and anyone could take those files to a new ip address and host it there. THis is in no way now nor will it ever be. my server. I'm merely donating to mafiascum to keep mafaiscum's server alive, and cutting out the middleman (mafiascum itself)
M, I'm taking this seriously. I said something long-winded to Maru in a PM about it.
We've gotten a bit ridiculous lately. It seems like there is always something. I support a bit of a regime change. We use this server as the MS Community server, even though Maru currently hosts it himself. (which we should set up a way to pay for it as a community, but that's a different issue altogether.)
When we've gotten to the point where the OPs go "lets show everyone how much we cheat" that's a bit of a problem. I know that everyone is taking this event at varying levels of seriousness, and that's fine I guess. But at least for me, I've invested a lot of time into this server, calendar-wise, longer than anyone else. But you guys have all invested your time too. I take the server very seriously in a sense that using the server isn't a waste of my time. So an issue like this where everyone goes "lol drama" as much as I downplay drama with fake-rage, an issue like this is important to me.
Right now the only person I'd really support as OP is T-Bone.
Maaaybbe Xalxe too.

Its actually already set up, the paypal account i use to pay for the server accepts donations. i just never publicized that because nobody ever expressed interest in this. The server itself, without the fancy Dedi IP and url of mine, is $15 a month.
Suggestion: OP QuickTopic where all command usage is documented with reasoning, for the future of course cant change the past, and that way if any of a team of OPs spots inconsistencies they can police each other ,and having to answer for any command usage, amongst a group of your peers, will minimize the cheating between all three.
And perhaps a fourth person who is NOT an op get copy of the server.log and access to the QT to be the "checks and balances" so the OPs can't like make arrangements amongst themselves for benefit.
I just read Maru's "OP" post, and I think this is a storm in a cup of water. I'm a pretty vanilla guy, and I don't think most of what Xalxe has done is as bad as Maru posts it. I'm currently writing a longer post with my opinions about the issue, but it will take some time. (It would be oh so good next time you guys decided to stir drama, you did that on a non-working day ). Please stand by.
