We are the Avatars... (A one-act by Umuri)

In memory of a 3 page rational discussion started by Spoon, who i felt was nothing but respectful and rule abiding in it, about several players feelings about generic actions that was then struck down in the prime of its life on November 14, 2017 around 10:30 central time.

Please note the below is a parody and will be distributed far and wide in both song and novella format within the game. I have already printed a dozen copies, and referenced this forum thread specifically within them. And will be printing more.
If you'd like a copy, simply reply "And me - charactername" and i'll mail you one in-game.
Satire is not illegal (yet).

Sung to the following tune:


Welcome to Forum PVP with Umuri, the part of the show where Umuri comes out, and forum PVPs.

Joining Umuri are <redacted> and Mr. <thread removed>, who together makeup the infamous gang of SOTA players, the Avatars who can't post anything

We are the Avataaaars, who can't post anything
We just sit at home, and type around
And if you ask us, to post anything
We'll just tell you, "We can't post anything".

Well, I've, never posted language
and i've never posted lore txt
and i've never posted bugs out to suggestions or features
and i've never have been quoted
because it never stays in threads long
and i've never been to Austin in the falllll

We are the Avataaaars, who can't post anything
We just sit at home, and type around
And if you ask us, to post anything
We'll just tell you, "We can't post anything".

Well, I've, never posted insults
And I've never trolled a griefer
And I've never argued semantics till I can't argue at all
And I've never helped a newbie
And I've never corrected a bad post
And I've never been to Austin in the falllllll

We are the Avataaaars, who can't post anything
We just sit at home, and type around
And if you ask us, to post anything
We'll just tell you, "We can't post anything".

And I've never been ankh reskilled
And I've never done the stars math
And I've never asked the same question to the telethon each month
And I've never quoted moderation
And I've never made an add-on
And I've never been to Austin in the fall

We are the Avataaaars, who can't post anything
We just sit at home, and type around
And if you ask us, to post anything
We'll just tell you, "We can't post anything".

Well, I've never gotten moderated
And I'm not too good at "feelings"
And I've never had a report that just said "You know what you did"
And I've never corrected Staff posts
And I've never argued rules text
And I've never been to Austin in the fall

--Huh? What are you talking about?
--What does moderation or reporting have to do with not posting?
-Hey, that's right
-We're supposed to sing about not posting things
--And who's ever corrected staff posts?
--That's just nonsense, why even bring it up?
--Am I right? What do you think?
-I think you look like a chair bare
--Huh? No I don't
-Do too
--Do not
-You're making me feel unsafe
--That's it, you're walking the plank
-Says who?
--Says the Cap'n
-Oh yeah?
-Aye, aye, Chair Bare, he he he
--Arrrgh
-Yikes

And I've never been sarcastic
And I've never done a parody
And I've never bothered pointing out censorship never works
And I've never mirrored forums
And I don't have a bot that does so
--You just don't get it
And we've never been to Austin in the fall

 

After seeing what this is turning into, I am not partaking.

 

And me - Gwynneth vanLace

 

And me -Absolum

 

and me - alley oop

 

looks like this is going to turn into a 3rd party online petition

signed.

 

I don't understand this post. I'm sure there was a good reason that the post was removed and this is only going to cause more drama.

 

The vase has tipped... at that point even I cannot do anything to stop the spilling.

I did warn them to make a public and semi-private forum, 3 years ago. But noone listened to me, as usual.

Now they're all going to reddit and other places...

 

The only posts moderated are ones that aren't objective and helpful. I'd had posts moderated in the past and thanks to @Berek he was able to show me why it was a poor post that needed to be pruned. It's a tough job and people really need to give him more room and not constantly question him.

 

How I wish that was true.

But of course we are all human and humans have good days and bad days which means we sometimes make mistakes.

This is why successful systems include reviews, fail-safes and self correction.
While unsuccessful systems assume human pefection.

The tinge of negativity in this post is palatable. How can you expect a fair shake if you don't offer the same, right?

 

Joke of the day. Here an apple.

 

And me - Oberon

 

And me - Vallo Frostbane

 

You misspelled Troll in your title "We are the Trolls..."

 

And me - Grumpy Krabnevir

 

Classic 1st class developer response to the community, thanks again for meeting all my expectations.

 

That's a new low... I hope its just a bad joke.
