I probably should have posted this before just to shed some light on the matter. Thanks for the attempt HeLL.

The following is from GodSpire's log database.

DEATH ostap

SYTHER ostap

So, yeah it was ostap, no big secret. He obviously duels on a lot of servers. Like most players he simply relies on GodSpires filters to get rid of any illegal items. Unlike Circus Maximus we don't assume there is some grand conspiracy by another server to "raid", "crash" or "hack" GodSpire every time someone tries to log in with illegal items.

Congratulations to HeLL for your paranoid conspiracy, I actually considered the exact same thing last night but decided I was just buying into Bug Fixx's little fantasy.

I have taken quite a bit of time to read this(I think I started fourty-five minutes ago O.o), but I have finished.

First off, I want to state that I am pleased such progress has been made. I was only aware of a little bit of the progress(Don't worry, CM Players, that's just me.). However, I am quite surprised at the extent of some of these accusations and what they are based upon. It seems to me that there are two sides to Bug that have been directly and indirectly stated throughout this thread. One, Bug is constantly trying to better his server, which is quite understandable, and two, Bug is scared or nervous about/of something. He has some beef against Godspire that does not seem very clear to a lot of people, although some people think it is because of "raids" by Godspire players, but remember, CM players have "raided" Godspire as well. However, whether Bug's said behavior is recent or not, it is highly disrespectful, and it is deeply needed to be explained. Another thing that occured to me while reading this thread that in this "democracy"(I put it in quotes because I am not sure why you call it a democracy. I would greatly appreciate an explanation on this) Bug is infringing upon 420's right to freedom of speech as well as other's right to freedom of speech as well(Freedom of Speech is given in the First Ammendment to the American Constitution).

To my final point: All PvP Servers, whether uber, semi-uber, or legit, whether 100k or 500k, whether resists or no resists, whether 9ac, 12ac, or 20ac, should work together to bring about an understanding between eachother's playing styles, rules, their love for gaming, and, most importantly, their person, including their religion, gender, race, and age, as well as help eachother better themselves("themselves" being the servers). Of course, there are always rule-breakers, but we mustn't blame eachother for them; we should work together to make them understand, to give them a second chance, to perhaps even anhialate them(Mo has found that last tactic quite useful in this past i believe).

I believe that this bridge we are crossing, the slowly coming acceptance between Godspire and Circus Maximus, is a first step to PvP Servers supporting eachother.


-Lord Elessar

PS: I believe that this little quote, something that Throbblefoot once told me, and it has yet to be forgotten by my brain, may help anyone who is feeling a bit picked on: Don't let those jerks * * *  get to you. There is always a kid so miserable he is willing to torture others - ignore them.

Note on where I placed the "* * *". In the origanal quote they were replaced by "at your school" because I was having some rough times with some classmates, but those three words don't apply here, so there is no need for them.

Yar... I'm always paranoid *shakes nervously* Yepper... that's me... *eye twitches* Yar. :P

I think that somehow this ties into me, and my own problems though. I mean lately I have been sought to lead a semi-uber clan, to find that an old friend was leader before the leader told someone to find me, and that the clan is currently dead... but my friend is attempting to bring it back. (confusing as hell) Then I got a server administrator (Rumago) all of a sudden bringing back all these rumors to me when I logged into his server one day... eh. :huh:  I thought perhaps someone filled him in with the wrong info, and he believed tons of rumors about me and the Antes, which I had just rejoined on request of one of its leaders. Then there is a ton of other crap too, but I now believe since Ostap is in the Antes and I had been informed that newer Antes members had been telling him these things, that it is most likely Ostap... now I'm going to get to the bottom of my own problems.  :blink:  :blink:  :blink:

As for me, with my problems, I might just say the heck with the Antes and their server, and the same with Rumago. Because it's not worth my effort or my time to go through any of this crap. All I wanna do is be at GodSpire anyway, so what's teh point. &lt;_&lt;  &lt;_&lt;  &lt;_&lt;

@Mo: Mel is right, you do not have to do this alone, I for one will do all I can to help, and I know I'm not the only one.  ;)

I'm still going to investigate, and do what I can to find out what the hell is going on here. As for Ostap, I know where to find him, if I see him, I'll talk to him.

Ah Elessar, you forget, the internet is a (practically) lawless frontier, the admin of a game server or web site can be a benign manager or a tyranical facist and be totally within their rights. (I'm not calling Bug a tyranical facist, only that, like all admins, he is somewhere in between the two extremes.)

Also consider that Bug Fixx may not be American (his use of the word "git" has me wondering), so the First Amendment to our Constitution doesn't really apply.

However, just because he deletes my posts/accounts doesn't mean I can't repost everything, since I saved everything I posted after my first one was deleted. I think spending 3 days deleting my posts/accounts (at least 4 of each) -- just to have me remake/repost minutes later -- finally got to him. Though, had he just locked the thread it would have been sufficient, it seems he decided to (as Barny Fife would say) "Nip it in the bud."

I'm starting to agree with Talon. All the 'progress' that has been made has been because of this DMs, NOT him. Without the agreement of the server's hoster, that is the use in a peace agreement between servers. I am not saying that we should do anything near what he is or stop trying to make progress with CM's players, but that we can not make peace with the modual itself. It was decent of him to remove the ban on keywords script, but all I have seen from him so far.

What I wonder is how Bug's DMs and players lasted so long in such an oppressive environment. Could explain why Throbbleserv had more players on it than CM did yesterday (for a few minutes at least).

Yeah, lets not buy into Bug's game of blaming all griefers that come toGS on Circus Maximus. We are above that sort of thing.

Anyway, guess what, Bug banned my IP address from his forums after I told him I had a dynamic IP! Ha ha ha, a quick reboot of my router and I discovered he didn't bother to delete my current account there (Im sure he thought the IP ban was sufficient).

I stopped posting there days ago, but apparently I'm not even allowed to view Bug's precious forums...

It must be taxing to be so obsessed about someone who isn't actually a threat.

Well I've been arbitrarily banned from CM again.  
Anyway I've decided to forget about peace with CM because seriously who needs peace with a warmongering hateful bastard like Saddam err I mean Bug.

I've also decided to warn the rest of the online NWN community of Bug's facisim by dedicating a new server in his honor.

I've still not decided on a server name, I'm think something like
"0   Circus Maximus is run by a prejudice hatemonger"

Any suggestions?

Ha ha ha! Oh well, it was worth a try. I hope we have exposed Bug for who he really is to his player community if nothing else.

It would be ashame to get rid of the embassy though, since Nara did put so much time and effort into this project.

I'm sure we can wait for the day when Bug finally has his nervous breakdown and deletes all evidence of Circus Maximus's existance. Seems like his style.

C). Obey the Law. You agree not to use the service for illegal purposes or for the transmission of material that is unlawful, harassing, libelous (untrue and damaging to others), invasive of another's privacy, abusive, threatening, or obscene, or that infringes the copyrights (rights of an owner of written material) or other intellectual property rights of others.

Ok with this in mind....any suggestions :P

I've recently attended a seminar on the local city's public access channel so a friend could get his producing license.  Basically the same laws/rules apply as C) but the loophole is "critique".  There's nothing wrong in making fun of the person/harassing aslong as you state what you're own motives or opinion on how (whatever it is they're doing in this case running a server) is being done.

Also there is nothing wrong with finding out what crashes Bug's pathetic excuse for a filter and using that to annoy him. Apparently having bonus cleric spell slots on items crashed his server. Poor Bug, I almost feel sorry for him, like a pidgeon with a plastic bag caught on it's foot. You'd like to help it because it's suffering but it's covered in filth and disease.

Really, doing this is just going down to bug's level. You wanted peace, you got it. over 85% of his players want peace. It's just him. Do you REALLY want to go his server that bad? besides if you do this Bug will just convince his players that you're the bad guy again, and thus the war continues. Whereas atm only Bug and a few others hate GodSpire. Just ignore the guy and forget about it.

I ignore no one who squashes basic human rights and freedoms.

Really I don't care what people think over there anymore.  They should know the truth behind the person they support.

I am not sinking to any level.  I am mearly expression an opinion which I must say has been throughly researched and verified.

Hopefully CM players will realize what an ass Bug is and come play on GodSpire and be around nice people.  Then Bug will be left to play with his Cabbage Patch dolls all by his lonesome
