Well, this is really a loss for the site. Jmo leaving and HR as mod, this is going down.
Thanks for all the good work jmo.

I am sorry to hear this. Good bye jmo.

How did one fucking game of diplomacy cause so much damn drama

Jmo did they let you know that thru a public forum or private message? Okay then keep it to yourself and go lick your wounds. All of this attention seeking is ridiculous, you are not leading a rebellion or something. They will both be back within 1 year, I will bet 7000 points on it.

Why was the game so controversial? It's just a flipping game, wow.

Just stay JMO please.

Bah. That's disappointing that such poor judgement prevails

It's the Brezhnev era of webdip. Site needs Putin in order.

Can someone explain this?

I'm actually wondering what jmo would need to have been told to quit after so many years of moderating and being a well-respected community member.

I guess I'm no longer important enough to get yelled at for my threads : (

who are ewe? Are you knew?

Drama queens.

Thanks, Obama.

Thanks, JMO.

Here is my solution: Mute Ogion and Major Mitchell; it will make you feel much better! its like taking out the garbage, satisfying and delicious!!

I'm not sure if I thanked you for doing a thankless task when.you left the mod team JMO, so thank-you.

I know these recent events haven't opened up any vacancies in the mod team (my dream job), but i'd like to apply for the position of drama queen. Where do i send my CV?

@ Maniac
you don't need to apply for the position of drama queen, you hold it already.

Just checked in for the first time in a month, and it seems that I was right to leave. Also, I'm disappointed ND.

Bye again.

Come on Capt Brad, please mute me ASAP, I have vague memories of Valis threatening to mute me in a game but I might have talked my way out of that & being muted by Valis has no "exclusivity", it's a form of recognition, or "par for the course" but please can I be the first player you mute Capt Brad ? Please. I've been much more annoying to you than Ogion, imho. I muted ssorenn and Condescending clown first, so I definitely deserve a muting by Capt Brad. The fire breathing MemSahib, Her Indoors lying on a sofa eating cake mutes me many times on a daily basis, but to be muted by you, Capt Brad, that's something I could look forward to with much pleasure.

@jmo...is this an elaborate "trolling" by your good self ? I'm confused. Please do come back. I still haven't been able to leave, I did say I would, but I have to finish one game and there's a powerful alliance working hard to ensure my defeat, it has some excellent players all doing their best, but they are taking soooo long to do it, and in the meantime it appears that HR getting intoxicated, a ftf game in London ? and another game full of luminaries like Demon Overlord, Valis, Capt Brad and jamiet99uk has exploded into a mass of self expulsions..maybe Turniphead TrumpGod could get all those nasty blighters he doesn't want entering the USA into a series of Diplomacy games with Capt Brad, and giving HR the keys to the White House liquor cabinet and giving him a commentators role might be better than these silly "executive orders" ? Just suggesting.
You're still uber cool jmo, and I hope this is some form of excellent prank on your part. Please don't go over to the dark side at playdip or some other ghastly site.

This is a shame. JMO has always been one of my favorite people on this site. Someone who contributes in excess and usually is of sound mind. I am curious what Zultars opinion in the matter is; I feel like there's some level of negativity happening at the moderator level to cause two excellent community members to feel pushed away. Especially two members not known for blatant instigation and anti-establishment rhetoric. Without being privy to the private conversations I feel Zultar should personally investigate this since it now involves disputes between moderation and development. From a PR stand point this makes the site look very disorganized and the opposite of welcoming.

Has anyone even notified Zultar his site is having some issues or is this being "contained" by the moderation staff??

I think it would be more prudent to notify Zultar on the day webDip isn't having some issues ;).

I rather hope jmo and jamiet do return after a spell. The site will be a far poorer place without them. Sometimes I think we are all a little guilty of undervaluing the individual contributions that make the site worth visiting.

... says Octavious, known among the Indian Tribes as The Man With No Badge.

There are worse things to be known for, I guess :p.

I agree. The Tribes know me as That Heartless Prick. Just ask Ogion.

"Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"

Thank you all for wanting to make sure I am aware of the situations. I am aware of what is going on and I am talking to all parties involved. I am hoping to get everything ironed out in a couple of days. I know that many of us feel strongly connected to the forum and/or the site, but I just wanted to remind everyone that, at the end of the day, it's just a game, and the vast majority of us want to have fun here and enjoy each other's company to some extent or another.

Sounds like zultar isn't aware of the Congo.

zultar gets it. lord zultar, ruler of all that is webdip and overlord of the mods, casting down benevolent judgement on his subjects with a gracious touch and a firm understanding. we look to you in these troubling times for guidance and a way forward. we seek your energy, we seek your light.

^someone would really like to be a mod

Wait, people come to the Forum for *fun*???

@DO- maybe at another time but I'm far too busy now IRL. I just like having fun. Maybe we can have fun sometime. Coffee and a pastry?? Or are you more of a cold brew and a game type? Zultar you can come too. Hell if JMO is reading this he's invited too.

We need 7 for a F2F :) let's build on that.

Number of cheaters would go down very quickly after Byron smallpoxes the first few.

Abge wanna come on the webdip date with me and DO and Zultar? Right now we are between an AM/lunch at a coffee house or a night at a pub. Still open to more ideas.

Someone's polyamorous

Smallpox jokes are gonna follow CB around like the plague.

Well I didn't expect us to get intimate but if that's where DO takes it then everyone make sure you bring the appropriate latex attire.

I like smallpox. More managable than largepox and more fulfilling than nopox

Every time you come back to the site I realize how much we miss out when you're gone.

I spoke to Banton. He says release the gerbils

Aw shucks prado. Making me blush. You really know how to get a guy flustered don't ya?
