Dude, just flush GR out of your memory. It's a black hole of terribleness on every possible level that sucks you deeper, and deeper, and the more you play it, the further you get shoved down in a sea of horribe players, lagg, non-AoC, and all around abomination-esque conduct. You'll eventually find yourself in a place where you forget what "good EE" feels like and just be surrounded by EE players who have been rejected by this Lobby, citing us as "assholes" when they clearly have no idea what EE is all about. EE is about hating everyone you play with, and then changing your feelings about them 2 games later because they're your pocket. EE isn't about everyone in the world having a civ called "~RoyalChampionRetards~", in turn it's about making blank civ names and claiming it didn't load, making civ names called yabba dabba doo (6). That was insanely bizarre and off topic, I just really hate their civ names. EE is about 8 people talking about nothing to do with EE for 15 minutes, while literally everyone is bitching at everyone else for not starting, then going on for another 15 minutes before we do captains. After doing captains EE is then about bitching about unfair teams. Keep in mind all of these are good things in retrospect, trust me. EE is about being a Mid SH player and talking shit to Mod TL players, and being a Mod TL player....talking shit to Mid SH players, claiming they can only play 1 sett, or claiming they could switch over and beat each other. While the whole time knowing the worst of all is Pre players. EE is about everyone in the world other than braindead psychopaths hating lobby menace's like Peow. And thinking JT is a 40 year old with no life. EE is about smurfing, but using the same civ names, and acting exactly the same. EE is about one person inventing a new catch phrase "YA RLY MANG ETC. LLOOOOLOL" and 5 other people mimicing it, until a new one is discovered. EE is about spamming lobby "/e 70.348.28.193 COME AS COLORS". EE is about "HIELA' :-)...GL HF IN WARR MIDDLE EXPERT :-)". EE is about listening to drunken Germans for 6 years. EE is about training 2nd and 3rd tier players, then forgetting about it. EE is about politics, politics, politics. EE is about making cliques, yelling at everyone, making fun of everyone, everyone making fun of you, in general having a heart full of hatred towards random people for virtually no reason. EE is about trying to discover "real life" facts about people, and making fun of them for it, or calling them their real names in a mocking fashion. Keep in mind, all of these are good things, in retrospect, and you won't find any of it on GR(nor will you on this lobby actually, which just made me pretty sad to think about), so if you play GR, fuck you.

This is correct, along with the mods trigger happy fingers in regards to muting/banning and misconstruing whatever it is we did or said, we had to put up with Omega forcing patches on us which changed the game we had loved for years prior to that without even having a real vote on the matter. On top of that we found out the Lobby could potentially be used as a tool to spy on our computer activity, that's when we all decided to leave and didn't look back since. Obviously we still get nostalgia and urges to play (like now) but all things considered it's impossible to become active in an enviroment that is completely hostile to us.

The mods can say that they were justified in doing what they did all they want but if we got away with this behaviour on the OFFICIAL servers what makes them think they have the right to punish us for those same actions on these servers? Yeah they made the lobby but correct me if I'm wrong here, we only go to them servers to play this game and once again, correct me if I'm wrong, they had nothing to do with the creation of EE or AoC.

Honestly, if you're going to destroy a community of players over nothing more than silly insults and mild trolling, you have no one to blame but yourselves for that community dissapearing, there's two sides to every coin but from my recollection of matters, the mods were completely out of hand, I still remember me getting muted after some guy went on a huge insult tirade at me, I responded and got muted for it, the guy who caused and provoked it got nothing. That pretty much told me all I needed to know about mod bias etc.

Ghost wrote:Essentially, after some little baby mutes that amounted to pretty much nothing, Icestorm decided that he was going to get extremely vocal with Nola over the lobby. After some words were exchanged, he ended up saying something along the lines of "this lobby is a total piece of shit" but with some more elaboration. The elaboration was enough to make any person who read the statement to 100% believe that he was serious about it and not using it solely as an insult. Nola, as well as myself I'd like to add, believe that if you don't like the lobby then you can just fuck off. We've invested enough time and effort into building and running the lobby and this website that we deserve some amount respect. However, Nola is a little bit quicker on the trigger finger than I am, so it resulted in a massive Icestorm mute. I think Icestorm banned Nola from the MPA forums too so that may have had something to do with it.
Seizmic said the lobby was a piece of shit (on MPA), Nola told him he couldn't use it, and I said we weren't planning to anyway. What really pissed him off was when Enigma and I started to criticize him about banning people for ridiculous reasons. He banned a guy for asking if the lobby client was scanning his hard-drive, among many others. Enigma was particularly bothered by Binary's treatment and harassment of eeralf. Nola banned us (he had already banned Seizmic for his comments) for our insolence, and made the muted/banned/appeals section inaccessible to guests. However, our bans were lifted some time after, this was in January 2009. I was able to use the lobby in April 2009 after some persuasion by Enigma and Pyro. I did ban Nola on MPA (I lifted it shortly afterwards) to get a point across about unfair and arbitrary moderation.

Binary muted me for facetiously calling Enigma a jew in the lobby. I didn't know at the time but Binary had an incognito account on MPA and I had banned him for trolling, I suspect that's where his animosity came from. Not long after my mute was lifted Binary accosted me in the lobby, I responded without flaming or anything and was muted by Binary for like 30 minutes, Nola then jumped in and decided I should be muted for 5 years for banning him on MPA.

Edit: Now, I recall why were unbanned. We got into a debate with Binary, Nola and Peow about moderation policy and freedom of speech, it was on Nemo's forum. I don't know who decided to lift the bans I just recall Enigma posting "agreeing with eeralf got me banned and unbanned, incredible."

We also gotta give credit to the users of the lobby. There is basically no problem with 99.9 % of them. I feel we are more tech-supporters then nazi-moderators muteing and kicking, which is a good thing! :D
