Cougar - Egotistical bastard

[Jojaxium]

I'm never usually one for drama, first post in drama actually. Anyways, since this is where people go to point out badmins or just get pissy at people who rubbed them wrong, here's my adventures on Cougar's server:

Started off in the server with the host being afk. Only other person on was a 99k who built a house without a floor. Remember that detail, it's important. The server was called a WIP CRPG, and help was wanted with construction. So I started building, as anyone would. I found a plot, made it nice and level with the sidewalk, started making a shop. A small, 32x32, 2 floor, brick-and-arch style shop. Nothing too ugly. I've built some good stuff in my years playing and I'm proud of quite a bit of it. This shop was pretty good in my opinion, as a post-pubescent male adult who's been playing the game for about 7 years now.

So anyways, as I was building the host came back. Screenshots of chat below, wish I had screenshot my build so I have some ground to stand on, but I'm not that conceited.





I'm not overreacting, am I? I don't want to come off as some pissed off kid who's mad his stuff got called out. This just really bothered me, because he called my build nooby when some 99k kid literally made a house with no floor.

Just a warning for anyone else who decides to build on his "great" server.

THIS COULD BE YOU.


And you wanna know what else? Aside from floorless kid and some other guy who was building a very nasty teal colored store, every single build was his. You don't advertise needing help then get rid of everything that isn't yours because it has "too many bricks".

Did he buy that ID or is he just young is what I'm wondering.

He said he didn't like your build and you reacted like a butthurt little child, so you ate your words. However you should not have been permanently banned, I'm not sure who I'm with on this.

I was worried I came off as butthurt, but really what he said was totally uncalled for, my build was fine.

did u get pics of the build?

Both sides are being ridiculous. A permanent ban is unnecessary and the ban reason is childish. However I'm leaning more towards his side.

It is his server, and he has the right to decide what builds he doesn't want to use in his server. If he doesn't like a build, he doesn't have to use it. He simply stated he wasn't a fan of your build and you responded very aggressively.

Besides, you are complaining about his judging your build and saying that it is unfair when you said one person was building "a very nasty teal covered store" and another "99K kid who built a house without a floor." Why exactly do you have the right to judge those builds? The same reason he was a right to judge yours.

Also, whats with calling the other player a "99K kid." That's actually pretty condescending.

No sorry, I don't usually screenshot my builds. Especially when they're only about half done.

You're right, but still. I was using them as examples of how he's probably biased. I say 99k since the higher a blid, the newer a player usually and it can be inferred that they aren't the most mature or talented.

Destroyer basically said all that needs to be said. You could've easily have done one of three things that would've been better-
1. ask how, in his opinion, you could improve the build, or even ask for help
2. save, /clearbricks, load on your own server, and work on your shop and "build because you want to"
3. just ignore him?

For someone who has been on this game for

about 7 years now,

you apparently have yet to realize that the opinions of others simply do not matter in the scheme of things, that there are more bad hosts than there are good hosts, and that CRPGs pop up about every week, and die in a couple days.

The point he's making is that you are criticizing someone for judging you, all the while you are judging others. Ironic, isn't it? Also, you mentioned nothing about their builds being cleared or any mention of their builds at all. If he left their builds but cleared yours, then you might have a little bit more of a case.

[Jojaxium]

1. Doubt he had any further input other than "too bricky"
2. I had no use for that shop in my own server.
3. Would you?

Go through them all and they're all replies. I may not have phrased it correctly but this was my first topic I started.
I understand opinions are just that, and my opinion is he was excessively richardish for no reason. He did not say anything at all to anybody else except me. That felt like a targeted insult more than a just, holier than thou admin doing his righteous duty.

1. did you ask?
2. then what's the problem
3. Yeah, cause I could care less what Cougar thinks lol. If he doesn't want my build, lol fine with me I'll go chill elsewhere.

It was a little joke. He started out giving criticism, and it WAS constructive, albeit rude. If he only talked to you, then you were more than likely the most active, the one furthest along with the build, or he was just going to silently remove their work later.

37k's are like 2 years old, find it sorta bullstuff that you 'estimated'

[Sylvanor]

when a build is bad, its bad.

I often get people that want to "help" building in my projects. I never, but, never accept, mostly because nobody can build what's in my mind. Everyone has its own building skills and in my builds i dont want to have different build styles. Cougar has high standards and dont want to have to deal with things he doesnt like, its legit. Also, a permaban, idk, but its his server and he does what he wants to.

Good builders very rarely ask for help, or dont need it. They build with people they know that will make stuff they await.

lol cougar, he's been irritating for a few years now
I've just learned to ignore/ban him from my servers
