It's great seeing you post again, Sir EagleRock. =) I only wish you wouldn't have to visit us in situations like these. I salute thee.
*Salutes*
I agree. I wish so as well, but things aren't always so simple. I always seem to need to bail the Barracks out one way or another, if it is dealing with spammers, threats, or issues with our own members. Not that I don't have Phantom to thank, I just with the EGB would be a bit better understood. However, it is expected, that if you create a vision that is highly against the grain (in our case, giving up B/P for the better cause), you are not easily understood.

Long long time ago, there was a user called Mutant or something like that. If I am not mistaken, he seriously screwed himself up mutiple times, yet the EGB still kept on giving him last chances until he abused our officers in public.
You're referring to Mutant_BusterJr. He was never a Barracks member...he was under trial with the NGPD. And he never got more than one chance. Once he screwed up, he was out. It was Socially-Failed that got the second chance.
I know that I have messed up in the massing voting issue. However, that was what happened to me. I was told by Phantom that my destiny had to be relied on the outcome of the officer's votes which meant that I could be on the verge of getting kicked out. If even Mutant who was a complete asshole could get multiple chances, why could not I?
First off, Mutant didn't get several chances. Second off, I have been approached many times in the past about kicking out out, but I defended you EVERY FUCKING TIME. If you're asking for extra chances, your extra chances have been exhausted. I keep defending you because you generally have your heart in the right place and intend to do good. However, being insubordiate against what I say around here has annoyed me many times, this last time being the worst. You also had the nerve to put words in my mouth saying I've said I hated certain groups, which I have NEVER done. I do not need any more ammunition against me that spammers, mods, and other groups will use against the EGB which I must defend. However, you're giving them tons of ammo to work with.
To be honest, I did not realize that my stay was on the stake until Phantom put me in the trial. In addition, mass voting or not, at least my intention was much better than Mutant.
No matter how noble your intention, it still hurts the Barracks. Like I said before, I have rules for a reason. Not to be power-hungry or anal-retentive, but for very deliberate and specific reasons. Anyone can challenge a rule I have and I will explain my reason behind it. You going against them merely hurts us in the end.
Most importantly, if I am forced to leave, it is going to cause a big bang here. I am afraid that everyone is going to talk about the issue because it is a huge affair to kick an EGG who have served EGB for over one year and is ranked No.10 in the barrack's b/p rankings.
I hate to kill your ego trip, but losing you won't cause the sonic boom you're eluding to. You aren't judged by B/P around here, you're judged by your actions. You wondered why members like PenguinLink got an officer position above you, for instance. Sure, they don't have a high leaf rank, but that doesn't matter in the big scheme. PenguinLink, for instance, gets what the Barracks is about, namely, making NG a better place. You seem to have a fixation on constantly going against the Barracks views and causing problems. What does you having a General badge mean to us if your high votes are going towards selfish means and mass-voting?
I know that many people talked about the kick out of Mutant. If leaving is my fate, it is hard for people to talk less. I am very concerned that such talks will bring negative influence on the place. I know that BonusStage was kicked out when he was an EGSC. However, he is known as a spammer, and I dare to say that he never took this place and any officers seriously because he thought that he was too cool to be here.
Who's the pot calling the kettle black? You're known as a mass-voter now as you publicly admit you skew your vote on flashes based on who made them. Also, taking officer seriously? How many times have you went against Phantom or even me?
But of course, I respect the outcome of the votes. If leaving is my destiny, I will leave quietly. Ok, I will check beck later and see what the outcome is.
I appreciate that even now you will respect what I say is the outcome. However, it'd be nice if you'd respect what I say in regards to the rules around here. We don't need a vigilante "stepping in as an officer" if Phantom doesn't respond within 10 minutes. I also don't need someone making us look like mass-voters and making my life hard in protecting the Barracks. If it wasn't for my multiple pleas with moderators, this thread would have been locked long ago. I'm not trying to make myself out to be some kind of savior, but I'm just trying to say that it has taken work to explain what we're about here, and outbursts like yours make my credibility worse.
Again, I'm going out of my way again for you, going against what I said earlier. I'm giving you one more post to plea with us, rather than give us a defeatist speech banking on Mutant's story as a precedent to keep you in the Barracks. If you feel you should be here, plead to us why. If not, I have no other choice. This is officially your last chance. Also, remember, bringing up previous examples and bringing up your B/P won't impress me.

I guess I'll be turning in my resignation then. I expressed concern in the NGPD about how I will most likely not be able to add to the conversation. I was right. I don't see anything I can reply to.
Being made inactive doesn't mean you need to resign. If you come around after you've been made inactive, you will be reactivated. Don't worry about it. Join us when you can.
