Some arsehole is making this up aren't they, who the fuck is Kurtz.

Someone's that been playing for nearly 3 years and putting up way better scores than that of what's in your sig, but I guess he didn't play enough rounds with the Daqs. Well, enough for "some" (edit* I really wanna emphasis the "some")of them to feel it had actually warranted a glance outside their little bubble they've created around their own game experience. Occassionally you guys should take a peek and see what else is going on. Shockingly enough there are some good players out here in everyone else's world that can play this game and are every bit as good as the long time, "all mighty Daqqers".

Edit Red print has been added for the hard of understanding Bold Pint to emphasise original text I want to draw attention to.

I wasn't having a go at Kurtz, don't know the guy from what I hear I'd like him but what I can't figure out is why he got the thread over umpteen people with a lot more votes/mentions on the nomination thread.

Playing 3 years, a few folk that play with him know of him & can put in better scores than I have WHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that describes a hell of a lot of people in this game, doesn't explain why he's got a thread Not saying I'm better than him just your reasons seemed a little light weight to me, if he's such a quiet guy who likes to keep his head down why embarass him with a thread.
Never seen his name on any of the nomination threads, if it is there I'm sure there are a lot more mentions for other players who have never been acknowledged. I never said he wasn't there only that I'd never noticed him next to the many votes for Bellows, Lontan, NFC or Buzzin for example Must be liked by admin.

Just because some of us have lifes & can't spend 24/7 on here kissing ass & doesn't mean we live in a bubble, we just have to be fussy with our time. Talking of bubbles with a whole 27 posts it doesn't look like Kurtz gets out of his much either. Despite of the small amount of time I have spent on DW forum I either know of or know the other players with recognition threads, this guy I've never heard of.

Does Eyez Neverclear mean your crying all the time & just dim sighted? I think we're all aware that there are good players out there, we play with & against them every month or are you still on the break from when you got your thread.

I replied to your post at length but some jumped up bitch deleted it for being negative but apparently yours isn't, I wasn't having a go at Kurtz, good luck to him but there's no way on earth this guy got as many votes as umpteem names that keep appearing in the nomination threads, thats Daqqs & Non-Daqq fyi.

Well, that was a proper and neutral start. There is nothing wrong with not having the foggiest idea - I am very familiar with that feeling. That's why it's a good idea to judge things AFTER doing the research, asking questions respectively.

Never seen his name on any of the nomination threads, if it is there I'm sure there are a lot more mentions for other players who have never been aknowledged.


This is the bit I was referring to when I said doing the research.
post 1 (http://forum.oddthought.com/showthread.php?p=113108&highlight=kurtz#post113108)
post 2 (http://forum.oddthought.com/showthread.php?p=113090&highlight=kurtz#post113090)
post 3 (http://forum.oddthought.com/showpost.php?p=113175&postcount=139)

I'm sure there is more, but I couldn't be arsed to spend more than 15 seconds on doing the research for you. The search function comes in quite handy. Furthermore, there is no doubt that there are people who are waiting to be acknowledged. Gretchen will take care of them one by one. To stress the point DnD has stricken: "just because other people deserve recognition threads too, doesnt make Kurtz any less deserving."



Must be liked by admin.


As you pointed out yourself, you have no idea as to who he is. Of course, you are in a position to make this statement, aren't you? If in doubt, make sure you don't hurt yourself with your conclusions, cutie.



Just because some of us have lifes & can't spend 24/7 on here kissing ass & doesn't mean we live in a bubble, we just have to be fussy with our time.


Absolutely! Most of us are bloody short on time which includes me as well. However, there is nothing wrong with asking neutral questions rather than judging people, is there?
I told you that you are too cute for this world when you are upset. I guess there is nothing I wouldn't forgive you, cutie. Now, put me on cuteness overload and call me all names you can think of. I'll consider to give you a cuteness award.

As for what has Kurtz done to deserve a recognition thread, read this post (http://forum.oddthought.com/showpost.php?p=129418&postcount=22).


Thank you for your attention. I'll spare you the yogi tea advice, but make sure your feet are warm.

Kurtz does deserve one but what Krámse is trying to say is that the whole nfc vote or Lontan vote seems to be getting ignored even though they get countless nominations. I mean vixen was even going to give a relatively unknown person with scores like Krámse http://www.makephpbb.com/phpbb/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif a thread before them. Both churn out constant high score, make new strategies, have/do lead top cartels and contribute to forum drama...

If that's the bottom line that I missed, I'm sure he doesn't mind to acknowledge players in a civilised way. Also, you are right Steff, he is far from violating rule #1 which leads me to believe that he can be on his good behaviour. I'm looking forward to this ...

By the way, did I mention that you made one hell of a progress regarding maturity, Steff? I'm very impressed and i mean this without any sarcasm.

If this kramse's intentions then he sure did a horrible job of making them clear. I see no reason to look at his post at face value, as everyone does here in the forum, and not believe he was claiming Kurtz didn't deserve his thread and therefore insinuating that his opinion is more valid than so many other people's. He made himself look like a complete asshole and did so in a very inappropriate place.

He made no mention of nfc. If he was expressing his disdain for someone he didn't know getting attention and did so for the ever rediculous reason "since I don't have any idea who he is he must not be worthy." Then the asshole comes back and makes a completely off the wall comment claiming he must have friends in all the right places to have gotten his recog thread. He made a fucking ass out of himself, everyone here saw it, then he came back here and in a lame attempt to clarify his intentions and went ahead and insulted him again with his "he must be liked by admin" bullshit. And as if that didn't make him look like any more of an ass he commented on him being in that same bubble I mentioned in my post and claimed he must be in it too because he only has 27 posts. I think you missed the entire point Kramse. I could care less if you're posting all the time and step outside your bubble. In fact I think some people are better served not to, but what I was refering to was that when you chose to you came and pulled the bullshit you did. Go find me a post where Kurtz came and belittled someone else in their recog thread or anything even remotely similar. You can't, because he's bigger than you, me and most everyone in the DW's community.

Does Eyez Neverclear mean your crying all the time & just dim sighted? I think we're all aware that there are good players out there, we play with & against them every month or are you still on the break from when you got your thread.

Look at you calling someone else dim sighted after you've done such a great job of putting yourself in just that category here for everyone to see. And I'd love to get a reason you pulled that "your crying all the time" bs out of you ass. LMFAO, was I really the one crying here? In fact I think I'll avoid calling you radnom names here as you chose to call me. You've shown your true colors here for everyone to see. Proven yourself to be an asshole, and as you say dim sighted. I don't need to stoop to your level and make up any shit and throw you under the bus, as you've given already nicely sat down in front of it on your own.

And thanks for stepping out of your bubble and noticing I took a little break from the game. That was far more than I ever would have asked for, and since you seem to care I assure you the break had nothing to do with my thread getting put back up after it had been erased in the hack so many months earlier. But to answer your question, yes I am back playing the game again. That is so sweet and cute (Tim is right :O) of you */me licks Kramse*

Nice lists Tim your good at them, now please go & do them for all the other players nominated and see how they compare to the five votes you highlighted for Kurtz out of the 24 pages of the nomination thread because Vixen cannot be bothered even though that’s supposed to be one of her jobs as a Mod.

Vixen does these threads in secret with no viewable justification about how she picks them. If anyone criticises her she deletes their post or tries to ban them, if she truly has accumulated voting data put it on show & explain her choices because at the end of the day that’s what the nomination threads are at the moment, her choices not the votes of the forum and as long as she keeps us, the members of the forum in the dark she can expect criticism.

If the genuine data shows Kurtz should have been next then fine, but I wasn’t questioning his suitability but Vixens. Sorry if that wasn’t obvious I hope it is now.

Tim while your lecturing people on how to behave it doesn’t become you to call people names, Admin & Mods are meant to be fair, unbiased and it is their job to set an example, by your name calling and over familiarity you show yourself as not able to meet that basic standard.

Eyez Neverclear I’m sorry if you thought I was having a go at your mate & nominee, that was never my intention even if it looks like that, his thread was the wrong place to bring it up. I’m expecting to be working alongside Kurtz soon & I’m looking forward to getting to know him.

Below is the PM sent by Vixen after she deleted my post in reply to Eyez Neverclear

AS I SAID ITS NOT MY JOB TO MAKE THE AIW THREAD FOR A REC THREAD....learn to read

See this is what I'm talking about, aggressive & ignorant Modding. It's obvious I'm more than capable of reading, in fact I read that very post. If you Vixen had read the nominations thread to take note of voting you would see that I have nominated & I saw no need to send five questions because another nominator had already done so.

Now Vixen, with your eloquent and well mannered posting you at last cast a little light on how You pick the Thread recipient.

Am I correct in understanding that from your above statement you don't record the number of votes posted for a nominee but what you actually do is wait for a pm'd nomination with five questions, stick it at the bottom of a pile & then take the nomination from the top of that pile to make the next Recognition Thread.

So if someone were to nominate a new player who had been playing for a week you would put them into the pile as a prospective recipient of a Recognition Thread and they would get a thread when they reached to top of the pile.

Interesting "system" one that I expect will be a suprise to many of my fellow nominators.

So forum members votes don't matter to the almighty Vixen and she'll do things her way whether they make any sense or not.

Feel free to correct me or make some sense, I will reply because I have the right as a member of this forum to do so and it is not upto you to decide on my rights.

That's what I love about being an admin. People can do whatever they want, we have to play fair and take them seriously. After all this drama you are telling me how to behave and - believe it or not - I'm very thankful for that. It doesn't happen very often that someone is brave enough to deal out quality criticism. I appreciate it.

Your way to bring your point across was rather inappropriate. I think we agree that Kurtz had nothing to do with what you wanted to say - play nice and refrain from bashing innocent players who deserve better. Obviously, I mastered to bring my point across, I appreciate your cooperation.

As for me calling you names, I have to make wild assumptions as to what you are referring to. Correct me if I am wrong, my guess would be that you have taken offence by my compliments which has never been my purpose. I apologise if you were offended by the adjective "cute" and I will take this chance to clarify my message. I honestly believe you are cute and I am well aware that it might be hard to deal with compliments - especially if one is as modest as you. Let's face the facts, you are cute like a puppy even if you are too shy to admit it. Again, excuse me if I somehow mastered to offend you.

As for my over familiarity showing myself, I'm sure you don't mind to elaborate your point. Criticism is something I value and this sounds as if you want to share a bit of quality feedback which will point out how my behaviour was uncalled for. My motivation was to ensure that you are playing fair instead of having a go at an innocent member of this community. I also believe it was important to split the thread as well as giving you a fair chance to clarify your opinion. I'm glad you have taken this chance in order to unload what was on your chest. It feels rather awkward to carry frustration with oneself, doesn't it? Your message is clear, everyone is happy and I don't even have a reason to make myself a Yogi Tea.

As for your criticism on vixen, I thank you on behalf of her. I'm sure she will use your quality input in order to find potential room for improvement.

Damn, did i miss all the drama? My internet crashed yesterday, I saw kramse's original post and that's it.

Oh well, looks like nothing too major came of it.

As for who gets threads, and when, I can't really comment. I know there are some people who are very deserving of one, and yet to get one. I know a lot of people are likely upset that I got one before these guys, but I'm not gonna turn one down, either. I'm sure they'll be getting one very soon. Besides, I don't think who came first really gives much representation of how deserving they were anyway.

Anyway, back to my bubble for now. (it's germ-free ya know)

edit: I wonder if the timing might, in part, be due to the fact that up until about a week ago i had full intentions of completely retiring from the game, and not returning to the forums at all.

Really negative statement purely there to antagonize, value it adds to the post 0, crap Mod mode on.

Where/when have I ever claimed to know you let alone know you well, I know of you. I don’t even know if you even have any friends in here anymore, I am assuming you do. I said “must be a friend”, the word “must” is assumptive/speculative not definitive, typed during a moment of annoyance with you not at any recipient of the nomination thread, it was offering a possible reason how you picked them not an explanation of how you picked them. It was also posted before you explained your methodology of picking a candidate.
I also made that post on the 2nd of February things have changed since then ask Tim for some of his Yogi tea sit down calmly and read all the posts slowly, try to pick out my points, suggestions & reply to them calmly and sensibly.

First sentence would have made the first bit of sense in your post if it wasn’t for the belittling “even” To answer the question, yes but not in great detail, I don’t think it’s a study requirement at the moment but I’m looking forward to you to educating us all, maybe you could post a wee history of in the section but if you don’t have time to count the votes in the nomination thread then you probably don’t have the time to write a history.
I didn’t know the threads were your idea, congratulations, seriously great idea, but it doesn’t mean that the way you run them for the forum is sensible, logical or fair and it doesn’t mean that you have the time to do so. Things could be changed to stop you getting a lot of the grief you get about the way you run them.
Can you understand that to most people think they are voting for nominations, tell them who has won & then ask for questions, that way you should get questions from their friends, adversaries & neutral parties not just from their nominators, it should lead to more interesting & witty questions for the nominee to answer.
I do understand that if you don’t get the questions it leaves you at an impasse.

YOU are the one that brought this to AIW, you are the one making posts in a rec thread which is completely disrespectful.

Actually your completely wrong there, you deleted the post I made in the thread, I do not keep copies of every post I make & I do not have the required permissions on this forum to retrieve posts you delete. Some other Mod or Admin retrieved that post in some way & started this thread in my name, I don’t know who I assume it was Tim but I don’t know for sure but I thank them for it.

I told you it was not MY job to make the AIW thread because you disagree with the rec thread choice. I still think it is distasteful.

You deleted my post then told me to move it, kind of hard to move something that is not there. You didn’t delete Eyez Neverclears but some would say his post was disrespectful in that thread & he should have pulled me up in AIW. Not that I’m getting at Eyez Neverclears, he was defending his mate when he thought I was attacking him, my original post was badly written and did not make my intent clear, again I had nothing against Kurtz or Eyez Neverclears, I have PM'd a lenghty apology & explanation to Kurtz.
I don’t disagree with the Nominee, I disagree with the way you run the Nomination Threads but I worded my post very badly and didn’t make myself clear, I’m trying to correct that in this thread.
"Not your job", you may be right but a good Mod would have moved it & informed me, you just lashed out and deleted, I actually think you took it as more of an insult to you than Kurtz or Eyez Neverclear did. Fortunately somebody on the Admin/Mod team does know what the job is about and created this thread in my name.

But lets get down to brass tracks here....you are bitter it was not a daqq right....no wait you are bitter it wasn't you...wait you are just bitter.
Now you show your lack of knowledge about me, there may be someone on this thread who is well known for being bitter but it is not me.
I don’t care who receives a Recognition Thread, whether they play for Daqqs, Reds, LoveRats, LOD, Incoming, whoever or whatever. Again your are basing your knowledge of me on one or two badly written posts from five days ago. What I care about is that they are picked for the people by the people of this forum in a clear and sensible manner, at this point in time they are not. They are picked by your ludicrous "if I have five questions on them they go in a plie and when they get to the top of the pile they get picked" method.

Now is where you say how eloquent my post is or how I am such a great mod. You brought this up and in AIW I am free to defend myself against such crap. So bring it on because I can go on and on showing you just how ignorant you are....in fact its rather fun!!!!! *ah this brings me back to the MSK days....*claps claps claps

So you can only be eloquent in the correct forum, you can’t think or act outside of the general limits normally inferred on section in a games forum, scary. I’m trying to discuss the matter in hand on this thread, its whereabouts do not limit or constrain me, there are several names I could call you to piss you off and they would but I don't normally use so why resort to them now because of the section I am posting in?
I didn’t bring this here, one of your fellow Admin/Mods did, you are free to defend yourself but so far you have only explained how you pick the nominees and ranted at me mainly based on my piss poor posting of five days ago.

Since then I have tried to calmly explain my point of view and you have continued to show total disdain for a member of this forums opinion. I fail to see how in doing this I am showing myself as ignorant.

fucking awesome K but like i say you're flogging a dead horse - funny how vix hasn't got time to count votes but has pleny of time to indulge slagging off members of this board, or should i say, showing them how ignorant they are?

I will answer K when I have time to address all his points as some are well made. You on the other hand are still not getting the point. I have asked forum members to pm me info on the nominated members. I have talked to people about who gets posts. Am I supposed to beat them down till they get me poll questions? I am supposed to fly to their houses and interview them personally? Hey if Rit wants to pay for the flight I would be glad to....short of that I can only do what I can only do.....Is that a bit more clear now?

Thanks.....have a nice day :-)

double posting and I know I shouldn't but this is going to start to answer K's questions.

First I did as you suggested and as I said you had some great points, so here is this

http://forum.oddthought.com/showthread.php?p=130085#post130085

(history of the recognition thread)

Second ...I should not be so quick to retort in such a harsh manner to your posts and for that I am sorry BUT I felt personally attacked. Its hard for me to keep defending myself when I am trying to do these threads for fun. I am territorial over them and I am the one that does them and I won't give that up....as I said in the history posts they are my babies.

I don't know how much more clear I can be on how to get poll questions. I ask and ask and ask....I remember a few months back sending pm's to about 4 people for poll questions for somebody and all of them said I don't know him well enough or I don't have time and these were people suggested to me to contact. C'mon what am I supposed to do??

I hope the history helps clear things up...if not, let me know :)

I liked the history Vixen and I honestly do understand the the question problem, In the past I used to organised events for the co-workers in my old company, they loved them, always wanted more but trying get resources I needed off them to organise the events was like drawing blood from a stone.:(

Maybe if you implemented something like Jaijai's suggestion the voters could post or PM one or more questions when they voted, that way no one person would have the pressure of coming up with five good questions & it would give you a selection of questions to ask & some of them might be good for more than one of the candidates. The "Winner" should end up with more than five questions.

Ok so as you can see I made a new rec thread. I chose that person because it was the ONLY person that I had poll questions for....then deadwood takes it upon himself to bitch at me and add a few choice words. Phu deleted the threads but left them so we could read them. Basically he calls me a cunt for Phu deleting threads....I say a ban is in order but since its about me I want assistance here....I did send him a harsh pm though I didn't swear, I basically said grow up....I am tired of him and his holier than thou attitude...He's got to learn!
