Title: League Changes
Post by: FML|WorpeX on March 29, 2012, 12:05:22 am
 :FMLN:

First off, signs are starting to point towards this being the final FML season. Sorry folks. I've made it very clear that this league will not be run if offensive comments and disrespect started to become prevalent. The admin team does not want to deal with this kind of behavior as it ruins the fun for not only us, but other players in the league. Furthermore, if these comments are made directly towards an admin you will receive an immediate ban. We spend our free-time running this league and organizing it so that we all can have fun. If you can't at least show us respect, you don't belong here. You had warning with the Eshan situation, there is no reason for it to be happening now.

With that said, :USA: PLZLEAVEDUCK has been banned from the league. The comments he has made towards Ugrilainen are not only inappropriate, but disgusting.  Now, I know he will deny this so here is the proof: These comments were made from the IP of 198.228.193.145. Duck posts from this IP: 144.126.118.78. Feel free to run an IP trace and see what you find. He has shown a dislike towards Ugri previously so this is not unexpected from him.

Furthermore, :France: Ugrilainen has decided that this was the last straw and will be leaving the league for good. We wish him luck in his future travels. Hopefully he'll come back from time to time so that I can suicide him one last time!

Finally, :World: GrimFolf has left the league. This leaves us with 3 open spots. If you wish to play in FML, please send me a PM on the forum!

Thanks!

Hey!  I've been the sole admin for the league at one point!

Of course it died after that...
That or I gave it to someone else, and once he left it died...
I should probably have documented the whole history, but I think head admin went
Worp > Renaud > Killin > CB > Nebu > Worp ?

This is not good news.  Ugri is liked and appreciated by everyone.  Any bad eggs shouldn't spoil it for everyone.  I understand your sentiment but I am sure many of us would continue to support FML in a positive way for future seasons.  If you need other help I am also sure people would be able to lend a hand.  The vast majority of us all respect FML and the admins and greatly appreciate the time required and spent to provide such a service.   

With WC3 all but dead, the FFA scene and community is thriving again with old and new faces thanks to FML and ffareplays.  I believe that the number of great guys (and gals?) that make up the community far outweigh a couple of rotten apples.  We all share a love deep down for FFA, I hope we can keep it going and not let it fade away into the future...

I for one am very grateful and hope for the return of both Ugri and more FML seasons.  Anything that we, being the players, can do to help ensure this I am confident we are willing to do. 

PS. Ugri had a very nice game tonight and seemed like he had a lot of fun doing so.  It was cool to see and just goes to show that while numerous bad games and acts can spoil FFA for a time, even a single fun game can reinvigorate interest :D

Duck has been a troll from the beginning on pretty much everything - He won't be missed.

Sorry to see Ugri go - again. If I had more time or any motivation, I would've gladly help the admin team again. But sadly I can not. Anyways, best of luck to you all in everything you do  :icon_biggrin:

QFT. Duck has been using his "troll" excuse way too often, especially after being clearly out of line. Just an unmannered soloer with ego issues in my opinion.

And obviously, sorry to see Ugri go again.

This sounds to me like a bad joke since it all happened immediately after i logged off   :icon_confused:. First of all UGRI DONT LEAVE BECAUSE OF SUCH AN IDIOT WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!

I read the chatbox and i think duck got overconfident with his posts and his brain did shut off. I think he crossed the boarder too much. All the things caused that UGRI is leaving the league which sucks. Ugri was an enrichment for the league and i just hope he will rethink all that stuff. Ugri don't leave because two people became their second puberty.

And to Worpex: I know it must be annoying to take care of shit like hacking/flaming, but the confrontation seems to be the only way to get the black sheeps out to have a great league running. I think from now on we can have a play for the end of this season and focus on the important stuff! Every season there was trouble with players. Don't let it be the last season  :icon_cry: :icon_cry: :icon_cry: :icon_cry:

And last but not least: I can say with confidence that i know lovetrance and bryan for very long and there was a time i was thinking that bryan might hack, but he doesn't hack. This is fact! The only reason this topic came up is because the guy who is banned recently made stupid rumours in the case of lovetrance and bryan.

#1 Lesson here is: don't talk about anyone's family on the internets.

It's too bad it's turning out like this. Hopefully we can find the subs, finish this season without further drama and by then it will be clear that S13 is a sure go!

P.S. I can play UD in Duck's game, let me sub yo. DK Lich MK pls k thx.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments! We all enjoy running FML as much as you guys enjoy playing in it, but this kind of disrespect just gets me incredibly angry. I don't want to let 1 bad seed ruin it for everyone... but sadly, this was the second bad seed. We're discussing the possibility of S13 in private at the moment and while S12 may not be the final season, there will be some major changes between now and then.

Q: Perverted comments towards Ugri's daughters. Same thing that Eshan did. We don't tolerate pedophilia, especially when its towards an admins children.

Dear Worpex,

as you know I highly respect your efforts towards this league.

Be assured that I will support anything you decide. Tell me if I can help in any way.

To Sir Ugri:

I am very sorry that you again had to face such dumbness. This is intolerable.

To all Admins:

Keep up the good work! Don't let any jerks destroy your work or the satisfaction you gain from it.

Best wishes,
Kruppe

Post by: FML|Mage on March 29, 2012, 10:01:29 am
I second Kruppe, if you need any help with anything here let me know.

Also, I would like to apologize to Ugri for his having to leave while we're in the middle of a season he designed.  I truly think it was a great idea, and feel bad that he won't be here to see it play out.

very bad news! i hope he reads all postive comments and returns! he is very good admin and interesting ffa-player

A bit emotionell maybe, remeber when he started to editing my comments because of a joke i did about fml b,which was hillarious:P

I prefer an emotional Ugri with his edges and corners then a korean guy that all he's saying about wc3 is gl hf and gg.

well its sad ugri left because duck was random insulting everyone, seems everyway he went, all he wanted to do/say was how good he was.

Sad that ugri leaves, he shouldn't let this hit him so hard, he should know kids will be kids.
Title: Re: League Changes
Post by: Ugri2 on March 29, 2012, 12:18:08 pm
I indeed read all these nice comments and I was very touched.

This is not a question of good seed / bad seed. I'm not stepping out because I want to or because I want you guys to beg me to come back. I have always been truly devotee  to the league for one reason : I enjoyed hanging out with you guys and organize nice confrontations with people from all over the world.

I certainly made a mistake by revealing some part of my private life and it backfired at me. I didnt expected Eshan to say what he said, nor that I expected Duck to do it. Yet it happened. It is known that I am on edge when my family is insulted. This is my temper, I can explode very fast. So now when some argument is happening between me and a player on some very unimportant subject (a temp ban for duck on the chatbox because he was impersonating me, a joke on eshan) they just hit where it hurts to get me mad.

So now I'm trying to set things right and the only way is to step aside.  I realize that I am involved in all the last bid dramas and I dont like it! I asked Renaud to ban me so I dont come back but he didnt ban my professionnal ip yet  :icon_razz:. I'd like you to do it or I'll keep coming :icon_cry:

I'll keep playing at, can even sub in some games (I liked the one I played yesterday) but I want out of FML for the bigger part so this whole madness finally stop.

Like Kruppe would say : enjoy the rest of the league dear sirs, Ugri thinks that the conference mode will give the players satisfaction and entertainment.

Yeah, I was upset last night. When I read the positive comments this morning, I crossed it out. Feels good to know that people care about us and are offering their assistance. We may be making good of some of those offers in the future. For now though, we'll see how things go!
Title: Re: League Changes
Post by: Lightweight! on March 29, 2012, 12:44:28 pm
It ain't your fault Ugri that people involve you into the drama. When i had disput with rabbit he took you into it. Now where you got insulted how could you dogde this.

And i don't think Renaud is able to ban you, because he loves you  :icon_wink:

amen brother

and ugri getting into alot of drama is not a bad thing, it would be if he is the one starting it but that's not the case so it's called dedication!

Would be nice to see him back(maybe next season?) and a sub who is not randomly suiciding ppl is not that bad either.

I thought it would be fun to upload som real photos of everyone and write a couple of lines about what you do outside fml, but that "could" backfire.

 :icon_sad:  i echo what everyone else said.  Seems silly to pick fights with admins of one of the only leagues left in this dead game's community, especially when you're "so good" but hey, egos are not easily controlled I guess.  I <3 Ugri too and I understand where he's coming from.  Just so you know, though, revealing personal facts on the internet isn't what caused this, it's called internet bullying, what some people like to disguise as trolling, but really isn't.  Trolling is messing with folks by saying obviously untrue things to see if they'll fall for your prank, internet bullying is what they did to us in 7th grade but online, where we can't fight back.  Duck was a bully, and nothing you may have shared should have resulted in this.  As a testament to this fact, I will tell you every personal thing about myself I can think of in one go:
I'm a trained opera singer who gave up after a year of auditioning due to self-confidence issues.  My sister is a homosexual and my parents are right wing conservatives.  I live in one of the wealthiest counties in the United States and hate every bit of it.  I suffer from Bi-polar disorder and clinical depression.  I'm dating someone more than 4 years younger than me and I'm turning 24 next month and still live with my parents.
If someone wants to tease me about any of this, go ahead, I'll laugh in your face because what someone thinks of my personal life on the internet is the furthest thing from my concern.

Cheers, hope S13 happens, and CONFERENCE MODE ROCKS GO US!!

Also, if we do end up losing Jinei (still not sure what his deal was I think ugri said he was having internet problems last i heard?) we can always transfer someone from the US league to the EU league to balance out numbers or something?  idk just a thought

I think it doesn't matter because round 4 is going to be 2 american + 2 euro with same winning needs.

well this might not be the place to address it but since it was brought up... yeah i've been having internet/computer problems.  still am, but at least i'm online now.  i'm relatively certain that everything will be fixed if i go upgrade to windows 7, but i'm not too inclined to do it until a little closer to d3 release.  hopefully i can manage my shit til then.
ugri, ur a good dude and a great admin.  if ur final decision is to be done here, be an even better family man.
duck, words cannot express my love for u.  To see a legendary undead drop from the league, and not even because of an orc, is a hit i'm not sure this league can recover from.  you will be missed.

Lol, are you kidding?  Duck was good, no doubts about that, but he was hardly legendary in the ffa scene.  The scene will be fine.  Pay attention to your matches more please.

You are the one that brought me in this league and i was your nr.1 fan from the beginning... i liked your playstyle and your personality!

Really, i don't exactly know what duck said, but just ignore it... i didn't like him either.
You know what?
When i was young my wise grandfather said:
"An idiot can't insult me, and an intelligent person doesn't do that."

Contagious retardation?

Does the fact that I opened with "words cannot express my love for u" or the sarah mclaughlin video not strike you as... unusual in any particular way?

duck is a friend.  i'm messing with him.

Ah Jinei =  Petra.  I knew the name sounded familiar former league teammate.  I've always gotten along with duck for the most part hes just sometimes an inappropriate person and I hope no one got hurt to bad.



On a side note me and Lost.Ancient are getting married in Vermont on July 13th, all the FFA notables are of course invited to the wedding.
