I'm just happy that in Kentucky, it's accepted behavior to get drunk on moonshine and have intercourse with my pet goat while wearing a Sombrero and listening to the Back Street Boys. Arrrrrrrriba!!!

Back to the subject of the other board, I really had high hopes for it. I felt- and still do- that a second Forum with similar content but a different tone might have more than enough room to thrive.
But @heavypanda seemed to call it. It doesn't appear to want to move on from a "bad boys of the Wiki Forum" status and be it's own board yet. Making one of the community's biggest cancers a moderator only seems to underline that. I wish them well, I may pop over in a month and see if they've figured things out, but for the now it's not the place for me.

I always have a high skepticism threshold when the suggestion of one person is for a different person to have to do more work.
I'm not saying it's immediately discounted. But it can't just be a good idea. It has to be a great idea.
And I do not feel that "mod accounts" is a great idea.
We've come this far just fine. Play on.

Shows how long you have played the game. Cos before Reddit was linked in-game, this forum was the link that was displayed in the game menu. Part of the reason Pix removed the link was that they could have slightly more control over what happened on Reddit. - Pix previously had their own forum and died a terrible death due to their inability to moderate the forums. The only reason you have had insider information here previously is because Pix approached us to be insiders. - As for damage tables, those are all over the web and many were first done by the folks at the wiki (who founded this forum btw). - If being anti-Pix led to bans on this forum, I would have already been banned as well. Anyone who says that this forum is "pro-Pix" obviously hasn't read the Rants section and the stuff we allow so many including HEATHEN HERETIC to get away with. - Finally, while I personally have no issue with profanity, I do appreciate a nice and welcoming forum for folks of all ages. And if we are seriously thinking that maturity is defined by how many firetrucks we can drop, then I fear for the world. - But for the sake of the greater War Robots community, I'm always stoked to see more community outlets and resources. Yes, I'm pretty new and I don't know much about the history of Pixonic but I intend on enhancing the community surrounding the game. You're going on a bit of a tangent but let me add to or clarify to what you're saying: - The arrangement is that I will be building a full-fledged forum and "handing over the keys" to Pixonic. This will be inline with their wishes to present an image that is accordance to their game (it's as you said, they want to keep it PG, positive, family friendly). - Damage tables (as images) are not "advanced features" and "plugins". Don't know where you got that. By advanced features I mean databases , API's (social media), interactive UI (just flash and bling, to make the website more lively), and some creative things on my end (that every forum needs) such as a dedicated art threads (for those sig requests), design kits, contests etc etc I really hope this works out and that Pix is on board with it. It's a big undertaking. Whoa, wait. Why would you "hope that Pix is on board?" If it's an official Forum, aren't they already on board?

In fairness, I will say this HoneyNutCheerios. While I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the "officialness" of the Forum you are organizing, if my Pixo contact comes back and has a different opinion, you'll be getting another Forum strike. And we both know what that means. Of course, that's all hypothetical! I have no reason at all to doubt you, so am delighted to lend my assistance!!

Another forum coming soon: warrobots.proboards.com/I've communicated with a representative of Pixonic and they are open and interested in moving away from Reddit and into a more centralized/dedicated forum. We'll see what happens. Hopefully this ProBoards platform will allow for advance features and plugins otherwise we will have to find something else. Great, the more the merrier! I'll be more than happy to confirm with my Pixocontact that yours is the official War Robots forum. That way, we can remove all doubt for those who might hold a different opinion!

I found the Deplorables discord server to be overrated. Just because you drop more firetrucks doesn't make your crap more insightful. -Amid You miss the subtle yet essential: the firetrucking firetrucks are all that firetrucking matters..and damage tables. Good day sir. TOP TIP: Enjoy Ⅎ₹ѺC₭₩ELDEℲ₹'s posts even more by imagining them being read in this manner:

That aside, I like having different boards, as long as there's some difference that makes it worth the split. In this case, the new board has a lot looser posting standards which- funnily enough- I really enjoy.

Very intrigued by this. Not sure if it's worth going back to seeing myself being constantly gossipped about, but maybe. Well....You moderate the fourm here, you play the game, you do website War Robots related stuff and writes ups on MechSpec. You have been recorded with talks to pixonic. You have involved yourself a great deal in War Robots-world. So if anything, maybe view it as flattering people talk about you either way. Theres no way to please everyone. There will always be two, three or more sides to a story. Personally I thought it was pretty cool of you to come by the discord despite sometimes seeing a little ridicule once in a while. Speaks volumes of ones character to face the uncomfortable situations. Plus to me, it was fun when you'd drop by. I remember a good bit of laughing and having fun on both parts. Then the one time we all actually squaded up was great fun. So what you're basically saying is, In seriousness, you're right, of course. I appreciate the kind words!

Keep in mind the test server is for spitballing ideas. It's 50% buff to the Raijin now, next week 25%, and they'll dial it in. I think it's a fantastic idea to help keep the Raijin viable, but we need to find a number that's balanced.

thanks for the invitation but the forum is the farthest I can go. just say hi to him for me, and let him know that there is somebody who miss (a little) his sometimes tl;dr posts about the robot battle, rather than other stuff, thanks again, You can talk to him directly bud. Its a one way radio call to be sure, but he's not going to stop reading the forum. "Hi Mijapi! Flick the lights on and off if you can hear me!" He has already told me that he appreciates your post. I'm like whoopi in Ghost. Flick the lights on? Man, you need to think bigger. Like Stranger Things.HELLO MIJAPI, ARE YOU THERE?MIJAPI, CAN YOU HEAR ME? Then just wait to see if you get a message from the beyond!

It's a nice thought, inspirace, but it helps to remember that this Forum isn't the center of the War Robots universe, but rather just one planet within it. There are loads of other places Mijapi can ply his trade, and he wouldn't be the first person who couldn't behave themselves on the Forum to end up at the galaxy's version of the Mos Eisley Cantina: the Deplorables server.

Going forward, threads like this are going to be locked on sight.
@darkangel12s , you need to stop talking out of your 「bum-bum」 or you will be getting a warning/ban. Full stop, mate, no grey area. You are not remotely in full possession of the facts, I've informed you of this already and you persist with wrongful and harmful accusations that inflame the negativity and drama on the board.
Up to this point, I've taken a backseat position, saying (correctly) it was between Mijapi and admin.
Between yesterday and today, I now HAVE been briefed some of the evidence against Mijapi and seen it firsthand. I consider it to be conclusive and beyond reasonable doubt that Mijapi looked to rig this election for his own benefit. You don't have to agree with me, but there it is.
Not only that, but despite my attempts to leave this to admin and Mijapi to work out, Mijapi harassed me directly over an unrelenting stream of PMs, becoming increasingly unhinged and unstable as I refused to get involved. When I finally banned the 'temporary' account he used to PM (which, to his credit, he did not use to post openly), he tracked me down on Discord and continued his harassment, despite repeated requests to stop.
I finally told him that even if he was subsequently exonerated for the initial "crime," the harassment he's engaged in was more than enough to warrant a ban on its own. I have shared the contents of his messages with Admin, and we are unanimous on this point.
Those of you for whatever reason still wanting to poke through the drama are welcome to do so. But you won't be doing it here. Take it to PM, go to Discord, slap on the tinfoil hats and make a conference call, or hold a sing-in, I don't care.
I liked Mijapi. Although he did the things he did of his own choice, I feel somewhat responsible for "stumbling" him, for setting up the circumstances where he succumbed to the temptations of his less-noble nature. And I feel his loss is a loss for the forum. It sucks, but ultimately, lines were crossed and that's the end of it.

Not when the person responsible for the frauding was banned after being eliminated. Let me be clear everyone: there is NO way on God's green earth that Tricky, or ANY MEMBER OF THE WIKI CLAN had anything to do with any vote fraud and/or sockpuppeting. I stake not just my reputation as a gamer on this, but my reputation as a proud member of Wiki and as a person of conscience, period. Take it to the bank. The idea that some people around here MAY have that Tricky would have staged something like this sickens me to my VERY FIRETRUCKING CORE. And I WILL NOT tolerate the Wiki's good name being muddied because of...that guy. (Please note: not directed at you personally. I wanted to answer your question but also state the facts and weigh in because I haven't thus far). What I was implying was that if one of the people running against the Finalist's was implicated in a scandal, then it would influence the outcome of prior "elections." No worries .. we'll carry on as is. We just need to be more careful. It only appeared to be one race, and the individual is no longer in the running, so in this case we probably dodged a bullet. But yes, you're quite right. In hindsight, if I'd decided to preserve the contest in its current form, I should have gone with PMs for voting rather than polls, given the limits of the forum's technology.

This is the last one of these you get for free. Please express yourself without the need to denigrate others. As insults go they're pretty tame, but you keep doing it. I remember when you came here you were super-helpful and positive. More of that, please? Uhm what!? That doesn't even make sense. This is an internet forum for a free to play childrens mobile game. The median age for ppl on this site is like 37 or something. People are throwing insults left and right. Attacking others via PM. Posting vulgar pictures and you decide to call me out for "old fart"? Really? REALLY!? Really.
