You are applying to be co-owner of the site?

I've heard Zultar's legal team are asking at least 5,000 Dogecoins to release his remaining stock.

I know you're kidding but a serious response that I don't think people realize: He didnt accept any share, neither him or jmo, which I offered from day dot to try and keep things fair etc and ensure they felt engaged and had transparency.. (Zultar 50%, which was when he/jmo were running thing day to day, jmo 20% later on, which was after he had stepped back a bit)

I'm not sure why, they said it was legally risky etc which didn't make sense as it's an australian limited liability, I wasn't asking them to be directors, so it's no riskier than owning shares in any company. (.. but thank god.. that would've been pretty hairy..)


The company has never paid any dividends or salary, it's just to hold onto the funds from Meta (which they of course couldn't just pay into an individual's bank account), but still it did seem strange to me that they turned down free shares (I guess credit to them in a way)

Maybe this is over sharing.. but I find it interesting, maybe others do

@kestas - for the avoidance of doubt. I was also just kidding.

I’m know I have to work my way up and start as a moderator first.

You have to start by showing skills and quality, and promise to STOP showing skills and quality as soon as you are modded. (or modified)

Thank you for all of your contributions to webDip, zultar, all the best in your future endeavors!

PS - I’m still pissed at you for not accepting my offer of an equal alliance, and instead chopping off my head in one swift blow, in whatever game that was we shared years ago!

I believe that diplomacy is racist it banned my account for a year. Just because I’m brown doesn’t mean I’m anything different than others. This is a flawed system and I would like my account back.

Dip,lo Macy is racist and mean. I think that they should unban my account. Just because I’m brown doesn’t mean I can’t play diplomacy. This is a flawed system please unban my account.

FWIW... this player was given a temp ban for excessive (EXTREMELY excessive) missed orders.

His response publicly, with unfounded accusations, repeated across a number of forum threads, resulted in an actual ban.

You don't need to respond / justify yourself darg, unless he thinks you can tell someone's race from behind a screen he must be trolling

Came to see what's going on with some downtime alerts.. Looks like a Cloudflare issue, but seems to have fixed itself? Not sure if anyone else is seeing any issues

It's unbelievably funny to me that RedHeadKid654 is almost certainly an alt account for Ginge86. What are the chances that there's a second red-head themed troll account, with activity restarting the same day that Ginge departs the site? I admire this person's dedication to trolling despite the fact they aren't especially good at it.

Right, there is almost certainly a racist white guy behind RedHeadKid654 trying to troll us. The trolling is so ineffective that I'm surprised to learn that a human actually posted that nonsense, rather than a bot set up by a racist white guy.

Good catch, actually. Both are banned now.

I think that's not quite right.

Let's assume this was Ginge. From earlier conversations with him, it was clear that he was deeply interested in culture war issues and had built up a caricature of race-obsessed liberals in his mind. If that's the case, my guess is that this was a ham-fisted attempt to make fun of largely-imagined political opponents online (i.e., an attempt to "own the libs"), rather than genuine racism.
