I think it would be relevent to the discussion to know who "brought it to your attention" because it apparently wasn't Mr. Jimmerjimmer who originally sold the board and made an implied agreement to put the roms in the dumpster.

Back in the day people had enough pre-op lady balls to make their own damn thread to call someone out for answers.

Meh... I aint no Narc...

According to the lord and savior IKD himself :

" Dodonpachi: Daioujou :There were some issues with the game that started to bother me after we put it out. We had also gotten complaints and requests from users and operators at the time which included some balance adjustment and improvements that I hadn't thought of, so I started working on it half on my own with the idea of an "ideal version" of Dodonpachi: Daioujou which would take those issues into account as well as the changes I was aiming for. Right at the same time, we had been approached to produce an overseas version of the game (named "Dodonpachi III"), so I decided to include all these changes I had started to make in the overseas version. You could call this overseas version of the game a prototype for the Black Label. "

Protype BL, interesting, so prolly means BL is still the latest version he worked on. I wonder where Damashi fits in all of this given the more casual approach.

You could at least say whether or not you think this person is an actual contributing member of the forums or some rom-hounding shitbag like the cave troll posting earlier in the thread.

Still, since they are likely reading this thread they should know that funneling gripes through you is some weak ass-shit. This sort of thing is what the War Room was built for, not PMing mods to sort out dirty laundry. I thought messaging Rot was grounds for a ban anyway.

Heh... ALL sorts of people contact me via email, PM... chat... etc etc...

Some complaints are valid.. some not so valid... I see on a case by case sorta thingy...

As for who contacted me... you'd know him quite well and yes he's a contributing member.... it doesn't really change the fact tho that any complaint needs to be looked at...

What would the forums be if I outed everyone who complained to me or the lads?

Aint gonna happen...

xROTx

PS. I knew the decision would not be universally accepted... and was prepared for that...

Maybe I'm wrong... Maybe what you say on the forum should be overlooked as long as you have backing... meh... it's a rock and hard place situ concerning this one...

Opes should've known better... I can sell almost anything to the lads... but disrespecting a deal and subsequent posts he made didn't exactly help his cause... did it?

It is the same problem I have always had with your moderating Rot, I know we aren't covering new ground here, but you go from zero to 100 in the first post. Respond or face consequences. There are people when faced with that ultimatum will just say "k, fuck you, bai". Presumed guilty until self-proven innocent. What does Opes owe you? What does he owe some random complainer who won't even post his complaint publicly? I think there is every likelihood that Opie just felt like there was no point in dealing with all of this, thus the terse first reply. If Ryan Gosling says that there was no agreement that dumping the rom was part of the sale, then who cares besides rom chasers? Basically, we don't know anything except that while maybe against the spirit of the deal, he was under no obligation to dump the rom, further we can't say that he simply flipped the board, only that apparently it is sold if the "everything stated is true" line can be taken to be an agreement with mjrmjr's detailing of the sale.

By the way, the forum would be a much better place if there was none of this behind the back, politicking bullshit and everyone just posted their own shit to the board. Then there would be no concern of yours over outing people. As far as I'm concerned anyone doing such doesn't belong here anyway.

Meh.

OK Mister Lithy...

You seem to be complaining about my style of mod'ding.. so let's talk about that...

SURE... I can get all sorts of brutal on ya... I aint denying that...

So.. I'll tell you plainly how I see it... YOU are complaining that Opes wasn't given enough chance to reply...

WELL... he did reply.. and I found his response to the situ "unsatisfactory"... and his subsequent post did not not address the situ...

I would've usually War Room locked Opes by now... as the forum knows by now, I prefer that... It provides focus to a situ...

HOWEVER, I have just pussyfooted around and not done the "Rot" thing as you're suggesting... in fact... if you fucking check over the past 6 months... I aint even mod'ded in that way concerning members in the market place...

I nudge and "suggest"... it gets the message across and I work less...

So get off my back you whiny little fuck... And don't let old grudges blind you to what has been done here...

OK Mister Lithy...

I don't know why, but I never liked it when people capitalize lithy.

You seem to be complaining about my style of mod'ding.. so let's talk about that...

I don't think there is any seem about it, I am complaining about it, in an open forum, for all to see and agree or disagree with unlike your protected pussy faggot lad behind the curtain.

SURE... I can get all sorts of brutal on ya... I aint denying that...

Step one is admitting it.

So.. I'll tell you plainly how I see it... YOU are complaining that Opes wasn't given enough chance to reply...

I wasn't complaining that he didn't have a chance to reply, I'm saying that before being asked to reply you escalated the whole thing. Did you PM him before posting this thread or were you just doing your lad's dirty work that he was too chicken shit to do on his own?

WELL... he did reply.. and I found his response to the situ "unsatisfactory"... and his subsequent post did not not address the situ...

It seems to address it entirely. He did not disagree with anything that was stated and further said that no rom dump was coming. That was the post that judgment was made on, what relevence does the next post have?

I would've usually War Room locked Opes by now... as the forum knows by now, I prefer that... It provides focus to a situ...

So generous of you.

HOWEVER, I have just pussyfooted around and not done the "Rot" thing as you're suggesting... in fact... if you fucking check over the past 6 months... I aint even mod'ded in that way concerning members in the market place...

I stay out of the market shitshow unless madman is posting.

I nudge and "suggest"... it gets the message across and I work less...

So you're saying that because you've followed through on executions before, the inmates are unwilling to challenge you and instead heed your "threats" (I mean suggestions) and just go along their merry way.

So get off my back you whiny little fuck... And do't let old grudges blind you to what has been done here...

What old grudges?


I hope I have made this post thoroughly unreadable.

Later,

Thank fuck...

I was thinking you'd actually stay and contribute something more than "Poor Opes... he shouldn't have to put up with following up on deals... because he has to answer a ZILLION PM's..."

Your constant bitchin from the Trump forums is overspilling into the normal War room.. I'd stick in there if I were you...

Your bitchin about "authority" or your perceptions of it are almost kernowesque...

Opes is your friend... I get it...

He was mine as well... but it doesn't make what he did awesome palatable to members of a tightly knit forum as NG.com...

Get over yourself.. and come back when you have something more to say than a narrowly framed argument...

Of all the things I thought you might pick, my posts in the Trumpster Fire tops the list? Hah. Or as the late great kawaii faggot MuchMuchPork would say, "Wow".

I've posted 68 times total in that forum. I'll probably post more than 68 times in this thread before its done.

Way to dodge the question about escalation though. I'll go ahead and assume that Opes was not PMed before you rode valiantly to the defense of the poor little lad who couldn't reach the keyboard to make his own thread.

OK... Let's not dodge the "why did Rot do it..."

Mainly,... because Opes is a good member of the scene... the shit that happened was like a cancer in the background...

I wanted it dealt with and we carry on...

1. Opes recieved the game from Mike...
2. It was talked about that the game should be dumped... (I don't give a shit about the rom...)...
3. Opes indicated he had a eprom burner coming and hence, implied it would be so....
4. opes then either flipped the game.. kept it.. or is just fucking with us...
5. I looked to resolve the obvious potential of people not being able to trust a good members word like Opes...
6. Opes posted... some fuckin flippant reply... instead of looking to explain himself or diffuse the situ..
7. Then like a raging penis porn star... Lithy rides to the fucking rescue without thinking about anything except his hormonal posting tactics... WITHOUT even considering anything beyond "Poor Opes... this forum is so so bad... and that cunt Rot will do naughty things without thinking.."

Lithy thinks like... "don't worry... i've REALLY thought this through and blindly post dumb shit... cuz I is one clever kid..."...

This drama is stupid. If you want your game dumped, send it to a dumper just to get dumped. Don't sell a guy something and expect him to work for you. It just seems so illogical. Like giving a homeless guy $5 and telling him it's his, but make sure to call his mom.

I also think this is fookin' stupid... I don't care about the damn romz...

I'd happily pay for a copy and send it it someone to dump... Afterwards, they can burn it on a funeral pyre made of Moonwalker games...

It'd be a small price to pay to get this shitty thing over with... I'd want Opes back but I know some folks will never forget how he handled this...

What are you on about? I've never used MAME - don't care if dumped or not. Read the posts. I mentioned to Ope others wanted it dumped - he said he was aware and had or was getting a burner. Fin.

Work for me? Please.

He didn't really commit to anything, he bought a board and once owned he can do whatever the hell he want with it .

I have already covered this point.. please read further...

It's NOT strictly about the ownership of the game... now... either come back with a more valid point or STFU...

I won't rest until Ope and Spork hug and kiss.

Not because I care about resolving any bad feelings.

But because I think that it would be hot.

I have most of my problems here born out of bitchy little nancies crying to the mods, they can't never stand on their own because they are feeble, afraid, miserable sour puss faces, useless in every possible way and the sad fact that mods listen to their pleads is crazy, I understand that they have to but with little common sense you can have solutions.

My solution to this debacle is simple; Let the perpetuator come forth, state his case and let us all come to terms with it. People like this should be able to voice their opinion publicly, here's a regular member thrown off and cast aside like he's a criminal over an insinuation, an implication, a verbal exchange, wouldn't even call it an agreement. Petty in the end.

I'm willing to help, whomever has the board can send it to me, I'll cover shipping and take care of getting it dumped, I got Busted and ReplicaX here who I know can help me. My only request is that OP has to be given back all his priviledges the second we come to a real agreement.
