Under the Iron Sky

In my previous blog post entitled Stairway To Haeven, I was kidding about old NOR stuff found on the net. For some reason this bothered Asiandragon Slade and this make me sad. Asian should understand as being friends doesn’t mean everyone have to suck up to Bizarre Obscure.
Also, a person blessed with an average intelligence should see how the rule currently in force in NOR “smile or get banned” does not apply to free people not playing in NOR and not intrested at all. In these cases trying that kind of approach generally can lead only to a “kiss my butt” reply.
However it’s all fun for us - and I’m grateful to the dozens of norians calling me daily to tell some new jokes about  Bizarre Obscure, JD Llewyln and their gang of subnormals. I love to hear it.
One of their current occupation consist in manipulating or deleting DCS sheets and writing insults on it. All this against people that have done nothing bad and are not even playing in NOR.



As in this example:


What is relevant here is not the grade school kid approach of NOR admins, this can only cause a giggle, but the mindset behind this: using the access to the meter databases granted to them by the combat system owners (DCS in this case, but could be any other ssytem) just as a tool to vent personal frustrations, blackmail and to harrass SL users not even playing in NOR.

No surprise if ANY combat meter owner/developer always have serious problems in relating with NOR managment and admins.

We all know as NOR is living a very bad time. In the last 2 months they lost 3 major factions, 2 sims and a large chunk of players. As well as they have a staff of noobs not only deeply distrusted and disrespected but also clearly unprepared to handle events like a switch to a “new” (lol :) ) meter.

They should make some effort and trying to see as if they’re in the shit now is not due to Abe, Eve, Penny or anyone else not playing in NOR anymore but it’s just due to their attitude to cheat, scam and abuse shared community tools (combat system, players sheets, NOR groups, forum, radio and so on) to vent personal frustration or to harrass players. They should give a look in a mirror.
Thanks God we don’t have to deal with this anymore and it’s all fun and jokes for us. So, yeah: you can kiss my butt :)

Let's see...the page you show was doctored. Real one is here http://dcs2.org/cview.php?name=Evelyne%20Hax&sim=rubicon

The 2 sims? One belonged to Dim and was attached for a project that never happened so was unattached. Knight? That one was slated to go for months. No one lived there.

As for factions, lets see, how many active members, and I mean ones that actually played with the rest of NoR, were there? I really didn't notice a drop in players and in fact, steadily rising.

So....get your facts straight and don't manufacture false evidence.
