Freeciv Longturn Web - The gossip section
Posted: Sat Sep 02, 2017 8:42 pm
Hello all. I have information to share that is probably not of relevance to anybody, but I believe it's interesting and, if it happened to someone else, I would want to know about it because, when you look at it, it's actually fun. Besides, the journalist in me believes that all information should be shared so there you go. I am not posting this in order to incite a reaction of any kind so just take it a it is and feel free to continue with your lives
A few days ago Andreas banned me from all Longturn games (maybe also from all other web games, didn't check) because I "insulted him". (Calling someone a "PR disaster" is apparently a personal insult; oh, well, I probably could have been more tactical or I could have tried to say stuff more privately, but there you have it; I'm a loudmouth and a hot-blooded southerner; sue me )
Also, apparently, another reason I was banned was that I was "setting up a competing longturn server" and my goal was to "make Andreas look bad so that people would use my service instead of his", and this is why I will "remain banned forever". I'd gladly share the full PM with "evidence" (links to my posts on this forum) "corroborating" this, it's really amazing, but in some circles publishing private correspondence is considered impolite so I won't.
And I'm not even going to respond to these claims because that may be taken as another personal insult, this time containing certain medical terms.
(For the record, after getting banned, I did move towards trying to learn how to set up a server on my home computer so that I can play with friends, but I very much doubt that my home computer can compete with the whole Freeciv.org, let alone draw people away from it. Speaking of which, if anyone has any advice about how to make it possible for others to connect to the server on my home computer - I hear it's a router issue - do share some advice )
Again, this is just information sharing, not a call to... oh, I don't know, whatever. There is already too much paranoia in the air, just keep playing and have fun
