Off Topic / Blockland of late
« on: March 02, 2015, 02:31:06 PM »
I haven't been on Blockland in a while. College and work and music and stuff. Would someone mind updating me as to the general state of Blockland?
Older folks might know That Bingo and Sirlancelot - both of whom are serving religious missions at the moment and were the only reasons I got on Blockland in the first place. Since they are gone I don't come here too much anymore. That Bingo and I had a sort of legacy - granted, it wasn't the shiniest legacy and we weren't very well-liked for it. My other account was banned at what I believe to be the peak of my obtrusive offenses. It was in mid to late 2012, I believe. After that time i was off the forums until I bought this new key during a sale, at which time I published Onion's Epilogue. It was generally well-received and made me feel like I could be accepted here for the contributions I can make, as opposed to being scorned for my offenses. (I think for the most part I deserve the many drama topics you will find if you do the research, however, I still enjoy the way I play the game sometimes. I do not always behave the way I am shown to behave in those drama topics, but I think it is fair for people to be upset over that behavior at times.)
I suppose what I am working around to asking is this - Does anyone have a name here anymore? And I by that I mean is anyone recognized for doing anything other than having a server on the top list all the time? I used to enter servers and be well-known enough that I'd be banned before I could spawn. It sucked, but I miss those days.
So please, if someone has the time, could you update me? What is happening? Do people still speak of me? Is Blockland still a place of wonder, or have we all fallen from grace as we fell from the slopes so long ago?

I know Onion already apologized but still, I would not be able to trust anymore (specially because he is not gonna change anything)
Do you people read? I've known Sirlance since elementary school. We have all been friends for upwards of five years. Of course he trusts us past this offense. It was exactly that, but he knows full well who we are. Of course he would trust us to be true to our word. I will not do what I did on his server again. That's all that needs to be said about it.

« on: April 25, 2014, 01:34:17 PM »SpeedyOnion and ThatBingo are problematic users. I blame SirLancelot for this for acting foolish and making them admin.
Read the facts. Sir Lance didn't do anything foolish. We are friends in real life, so of course we are all SA on our respective servers! Bingo and I know how to enjoy our time and that is all this was. He didn't make us admin so we could annoy people on his server. That was something he'd never be okay with. But he was AFK at the time.
Anyone who points fingers is problematic in my opinion. There are ways to solve problems without assigning blame to people who don't need to be dragged into this sort of thing. Bingo and I took this too far! That's all there is to it.
But unfortunately this is the internet and I know you're going to have some attempt at a witty reply. Just consider this my apology on behalf of Bingo and I. - For our behavior on Sirlance's server while he was away - Not for our behavior in general. I know how to enjoy my time and I will continue to do as I please in that regard. Remember that this is an internet game on which we play with blocks. So let's not label any individual as immature. I agree that my behavior annoys others at times, but if you choose to go along with me, you'll have a good time! And I'm not about to change anything.
Fin.

This was really uncalled for on both of their behaves however. I may end up adding onto my server blacklist...
Thanks braj
I think this got a little bit out of hand, for sure. But to our credit, we have been friends with Sir Lance for a very long time in RL. It isn't that I'm excusing anything, but I feel very much at liberty to joke around with my friends. And as a side note, Kreon didn't say a single thing this entire time. I would have gladly stopped if he had asked but no such comment was ever made!

« on: February 23, 2014, 03:47:32 AM »
I have few words to accurately describe what I have known and lost in years come and gone.
Or, rather – For those memories command eloquent language – I have not words.
One might say I am nostalgic, but as is often the case in this matter, single words fall short of a broad and glistening reality. For it is true - the majority of my feeling, due to my inability to express said feeling, will remain trapped in the folds of my mind. Though golden, they will be shrouded ever more. I would speak freely and truly to say that my greatest regrets result from those thoughts I cannot express.
But perhaps – Yes, perhaps it is not only me who cannot express those feelings! Perhaps there is but a sliver and a shimmering chance that one is born or progresses to the point where he or she can adequately convey images such
as those I would convey.
It is as if these thoughts are ghosts – They are seen – But only briefly. And perhaps you do not recognize horror, at first, in the face of that white mountain.
But I would ask, and forgive me for the question that perhaps you do not wish to answer – But do you remember that slope?
They would ask us to forgive and forget.
But I would ask, again – Do you remember those walls?
I would ask with all the passion I have – Do you remember the first time you picked up a wrench?
Do you remember?
Do you remember the very first moment you scrolled through ample cans of paint?
Do you remember?
There was something so fleeting about those golden days. But we did not notice at first.
No – We did not notice! For we could not notice that dreadful nightmare when frankly, we lived in a dream. We could not comprehend the wedding of death and destruction for we had only seen hope.
The world, truly, was yours. You and I were creation. You and I spawned worlds – Sprawling, captivating worlds of our own magnificent design! In your hands, in your hooks, lay the power to create the most basic fibers of imagination!
I shiver to think of what our collective dream became.
Do you recall the collection of dreams?
I relished them.
And it is sad to think that there was no end. There was no ceremony! There were no flowers and condolences when they stole our dream!
They took our dreams! They took our slopes! They took our visions and our hopes and they dashed them upon the rocks of “progression” with the swift ferocity of a full-speed ski crash!
And oh – I know those of you who are content to say and believe in that phrase – “move on.”
But I would tell you and I would have you believe that I cannot! I cannot move along for my heart resides in a world I cannot access! My heart lies in the doors of that fridge! My heart lies underneath the grey mattress! My heart lies in the sand dunes outside our house, in my jeep with flying wheels! And you cannot say to me, “Move along”! You cannot push me along when my peg-legs are planted in a world that was not flat! For all the flying carpets and tank turrets in the world, I will not, and I swear to you on the very jets in my soles – I will not move along! I will not /sit idly by while you destroy the very fiber of imagination! You may wish to watch our world crumble in that invisible flame of computer code! I will not /love at your fancy lights and shadows – For it is shadow that you have planted in my heart!
/alarm /alarm /alarm!
A thousand times, and to all of you who have forgotten, I say and I repeat, /alarm!
But alas, few are they who remember.
And I would /alarm.
But alas, my friends have disappeared.
I would wave my arms!
But who is there to see it?
If it must be that dreams die, then I will gladly die with them.
But I will be here forever.
Play me off, comrades, with after school special.
Let bass 1 play through the halls as I depart.
Or rather – as I roll on – For I will not leave. This is my epilogue, truly. But I will not leave for my heart will not allow it!
And so I will roll on. Water levels may be raised. Environments and sun azimuths may be altered but my spirit shall not be controlled so briskly and with so small a force.
I will roll on as all good onions do!
I will leave your harsh words and aftermarket schemes behind.
There is a demo home out there for me, somewhere in this green expanse! There is a green jeep and a brick for my light! I will find my home and there I will rest.
I may find peace in my virtually physical reality.
But forever, toward those white peaks and blue lakes, I shall roll ever onward.
I know they are waiting for me somewhere out there.
And when I find them, I shall /sit again.
And I will be at peace there - with the snow falling down on me once more.

I shall eat humble pie.
It was wrong of me to begin a conquest in the drama section.
I apologize for any remarks I have made that offended any of you.
If your intention is to be kind to others, I am sorry.
I only wish to be kind to others and as I have failed, I offer sincere apology as my only consolation.
With this I take my leave - Forgive me.

« on: December 06, 2013, 03:00:58 AM »Yes, bumping isn't wrong, it isn't bannable, but at the least bumping is good when the topic is worth it and you have something to input.Wasn't that insightful and enlightening? No, and you shouldn't bump if it's not with the intention of sparking more conversation because it clogs up the more recent posts from being seen. You've been here for a supposed 5 years or so. This isn't just for drama, it's for any board, it should be common sense that the reason why you have rights is to use them rightly.
An intelligible comment - I thank you for it.
However, I disagree with your statement for two reasons.
First, you assume that my intention was not to incite commentary in some form and draw attention to those topics.
It is both obvious and factual that I did so. Please do not presume to label anyone's actions with an intention (or lack thereof) here or anywhere else.
Second, I disagree with your statement about rights and the use of the latter.
Rights, though they are generally bordered by blurry lines, are what they are - Rights. You have the right here, assuming you are not violating the rules, to conduct yourself as you please.
You exercised a right by clicking on the topic and posting a reply.
You did not need to, and some would say it was not "right" but you did it regardless of the judgments others may have made.
it is not up to you or anyone to label an action as "right". There are rules in place, and if an action taken by any individual violates these rules, that is another matter entirely.
However, as I have neither violated a rule nor harmed you in any way, I would say it was foolish for you to busy yourself here. But again, it is not for me to say. Your right is what it is and I have no say on how you should use it. Please offer me the same respect.
Moving on to your second response -
I would like to point out that contradictive is not a word.
You had the right to use the correct word (contradictory) and you did not use it rightly.
I did not say that I was dismissing the comment.
You may have a different ideal in your head as to the perfect self-defense.
I do not see defense as a means to an end - Rather, as a means for survival.
I am not here to end this, only to defend my actions, and my intentions.
I do not intend to solve a problem here.
I also have not stated that I do not care for any of the input from other users.
You've labeled me as apathetic towards others and, whatever else I may be - I do not have an attitude of apathy.
Now, if you see defense of oneself as a means to an end - End it here!

I don't see a need to reply here as I regard this comment as dismissive and silly.
However, I will so that you may know I am not here to resolve anything.
I am not here to point fingers as to who is suffering from "brainy brain problems".
I'm simply defending myself and will continue to do so.

Also by the way, all of us paid for the game and by extension the website so you really aren't flaunting yourself by saying you paid for it.
Didn't mean to flaunt - Only to state a fact. I do have a right to conduct myself as I please! That is a fact that will remain undisputed. I paid for that right like everyone else. You have a right to do as you see fit with your privileges, so long as they do not break the rules. As I also paid for the right to post in these forums, I have that right, as well.
My remarks were not meant to condescend, and I apologize for the negative sentiment you thought was intended.
