Someone (or people, presumably those who don't have the balls to say it to my face) thinks I'm on a power trip as a GM. That's fine with me. I overreacted, and I've admitted it, I've gone along with HK's ruling even though I don't have to (although it would be very unwise to go against a mod) and I haven't made any decisions that I see as being a conflict of interest. Naturally, people get pissed when something doesn't fit their viewpoint, and I'm fed up with it.

This is a roleplaying board. I volunteered to do all of this. As a GM, a mapmaker, even a player, I've gone with some ridiculous !@#$%^&*. As a player, I can easily separate the OOC/IC line, as evidenced very clearly in the most recent was in Europe where I was going against my friends Mykep, Lynneth, LVN and Imperator (to say a few) to align with Vektor, Martens and BR (only one of whom I'm even mildly friends with). Before that, I had a feud with Frost about the whole 'attacking my protectorate' thing and we still remained good buddies. Sumeragi and I, until recently when she tried a power grab to become a GM, remained good friends even when I was warring her. Just as a player, my actions should show that I'm unbiased yet still people seem fit to call me out. As a GM, I have agreed to re-rolling nukes when they were called as bias (when Lavo nuked everyone a few months ago), I agreed with the lifting of some harsh penalties put down by Mercy but I also laid down the penalties without bias - even to Lavo, one of my better friends. Finally, during the map crisis I even proposed to split the map duties 50/50. Look how that went. Even when I say things like "I won't allow that" people seem to think that I'm talking as a GM and cry "power trip" - just shut up.

Of course, people will go on about unfair treatment no matter what I said. I don't even know why I wrote that paragraph. To Sumeragi, I do apologize for overreacting. A wipe and a 60-day ban were much too harsh and I understand that.

To the rest of you, have fun. I'll stick around as Artemis with only Palau, Hileysburgh (small baltic port in Europe) and Italy/Sicily. The rest are going to be split up as I see fit and will be split up ICly.

Hope we find someone who's willing to put up with our !@#$.

How do we choose the next GM, mod-appointed or election?

I'm thinking election.

I'm standing by my opinions. If you have a problem with my opinions, talk to me on MSN, I'm almost always online.

Also, I think this counts as a flame.

EDIT: I see you reported yourself.

o/ Sargun

You were a good gm and are a good player too bad the whiners ruined it.

[Megabyte]

Keep it civil. Now.

[Arkantos]

Sorry Sargun, but I'm for the election too. The RPers should choose who the GM is.

Still, you were a great GM and player Sargun. I'll miss that 1/3 of the world covered in yellow.

Not really the GM has authority just below a Mod not reliable to let it be based on popularity rather than a mod judgement there is a reason Federal Judges are appointed.

Appointed by an ELECTED official, there is still representation in that system.

We have no representation in this one.

I'm not mad about his comment, I was mad about the first thing out of his mouth is "so when do we get our next one?"

I still him.

I'm progressive. You did well, everyone makes mistakes here and there, I'm bad at being sentimental, have a nice day?

Not good enough. )):

[LeVentNoir]

Well its sad that you had to take **** from punks. People should sit down, shut up and just accept when things don't go with them. 99% of CNRP has the maturity and ****s to do this, some people are not fit to be on here.

I said what I needed to say over MSN, sorry if I seemed rather aggressive.

As am I.

[Mergerberger II]

You were an excellent GM, Sargun. It is a shame that we in the NC will not have the pleasure of "dealing" with you in the future. You are a great friend and an ally, and I do hope to continue conversation with you as much as possible.

Good luck in your future.

[Cataduanes]

I am sad to see you step down , take it easy Sargun.

[Subtleknifewielder]

Well, we're all human, and we all make mistakes. All I can say is...you did the best you could with the situation you were given, and even if I didn't agree with all your decisions, you still TRIED to do what you thought was right.

Take care now, Sargun. B)

A "feud" ? i only got occupied for my 3rd time in that war

sargun

I only hope that whoever takes your place is just as willing to crack down on BS like you were

[HHAYD]

I am thinking the moderators should elect a GM. It's pretty hard to bribe the moderators with IG pixels (unless if it is real money), right?
