you'r probaly wondering why there is a second guild wars factions, well some idot shut the last one.
-
Yeah, there is a reason for that. Something along the lines of "We don't like you no matter what you call yourself."

I'm unlocking this thread. I see no reason why we won't allow someone to have a discussion about Guild Wars. There's nothing wrong with the post itself.
-
...except that it's from a banned member?
I thought that qualified as wrong.
-
Dear ad130: you will not refer to the admins of this site as "some idiot." Consider this a warning, and feel free to discuss games in a polite manner.
-
He's a banned member, one who caused several problems only a few months ago.
I was going to relock this thread, considering the back fire against the thread starter, but you know what I don't care if people attack him anymore. Fell free to attack him boys, I won't lock this thread no matter how vicious it gets.
-
...or how viscous it gets!
Ew.
-
err..no. Some one will have to clean that up, and I nominate FMP.
-
I CAUSED SEVEN PROBLEMS, NAME THEM. oh and i got a free mini pet in the game ;D ;D ;D .
-
and the internet is about free exchange of peoples ideas.
-
err..no. Some one will have to clean that up, and I nominate FMP.
What?! I haven't done anything, and FMJ is newer than me, make him do it! Unless of course your finally starting to get back at me for poking fun at you, hmmm.....
and the internet is about free exchange of peoples ideas.
A free exchange ideas yes. A free exchange of idiocy? I think not.
And stop writing in caps, your on thin ice as it is.
-
also this is what i missed about talking here, this web-site puts the fun in disfunctional.
-
please, please people keep the peace.
-
ad130, last warning
You want the peace to be kept? Don't be stupid. Post intelligent things. Don't double-post. Don't name call.
Next violation and I ban again.
-
i TRY to put up intellengent posts but i have to to start arguing with everyone here because they start on me.
-
No you don't. If they dig in on you, show you're more mature than that and leave it there.
-
ok :D :D
-
I find a lack of care for these boards by the admins by allowing banned members to come back under new names, repeat their old offenses and not doing anything besides giving said member a slap on the wrist. Why should he get warnings despite already haven been given those warnings only a few months ago? Why do this when several forum members have complained about it? This board's admins really need to get consistent in how things are managed, the rules seam to change week by week on what's allowable moderation.

pssst you might get me kick out AGIAN

ad130, while the regulars should just relax and stop antagonizing you, you're not exactly making friends. Seriously. drop it.

Does anyone besides me see the irony in these two statements? Sprig, you're making childish and personal attacks on some guy for wanting to talk about Guild Wars. Ok, maybe he was banned before. He certainly didn't start the GW thread with anything objectionable, and didn't say anything worth admin attention until you started railing on him.
So yes, maybe admin inconsistancy is getting to be a problem. One definite way to solve that is to have less admins. Being an admin means keeping the peace, not provoking fights where no one's looking for one.
We don't ban people for saying inane or annoying things. If that were the case, I'd have banned every last one of you at some point. So let's just try to keep everything civil.
-
INANITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT IN THIS MILKTOAST, MORONIC AND MEGALOMANIAC MISH MASH WE CALL AMERICAN CULTURE!!!!!!
-
I thought there was a purpose of banning members, guess not. Next thing you'll say is we shouldn't delete spam since all it wants to do is talk.
Give me a break.
-
*I'm* going to lock this thread so we can stop talking about harassing people and whether they should be banned or not. It looks to me like Fell weighed in with his opinion, i'm done whining at that point. Now, if ad130 wants to try one more time to open a guild wars thread, he's free to. And I'll delete any posts that are "we should ban this guy" before he does something stupid.
-
None of this started until Darth ad130 or whatever he wants to call himself turned a thread supposedly about Guildwars into a "Gee whatever happened to that Darth_Smilo guy? (snicker snicker, look at me flaunting my ability to sneak back onto the boards)" thread. It didn't seem to me like Spriggan was on a witchhunt or anything--ad130 brought this on himself, and since he made that stupid remark, this Guild Wars thread has had nothing to do with Guild Wars or Video Games. It seems to me Darth gets his kicks by pushing other people's Irritate buttons, which is what got him banned in the first place. He's up to it again and then tries to claim innocence. Admins arguing over him on the boards only gives him more jollies. The Video Game forum was better with him gone, and it'll be better when he gets himself banned once again.
That said, I'd like to talk about the actual topic. I've been thinking about getting Guild Wars--the original one or the sequel (since it's a standalone, apparently). How much of a timesink is it? I consider myself a casual gamer, who occasionally has lots of time to play games. But I don't like a game where I feel like I HAVE to be on for a certain time or schedule. Will Guild Wars appeal to me?
-
OK everyone its all in the past now, so can we just talk normaly because i joined these forums to talk about games, book's ect. But NOW were all making fun of each other. Does anyone see a Problem with that ??? ??? ??? .
-

GOT IT
-
In guild wars factions im a level 11 assasian/ritulist with a mini-pet dragon, he cant fight but he looks cool. Also I got him free because I got the collectors edition :D ;D :D .
-

what were these problems.
-
it feels good to be back
-
*sigh*
I'm rebanning you. That's 5 posts in a row. I just told you not to do that. No matter how many chances we try to give you, you keep doing it again.
I'm banning via IP address. If this blocks anyone else, email me and I'll fix it. ad130, don't come back again.
-
good night ya all (its 10 pm in Britian)
-
Guild wars factions is actually a really fun game (and nitwits like him aren't the only people who play it), i suggest trying it out to people who havnt.
-
I agree. They've fixed virtually all of the problems that bugged me about the first one, and they art is still as gorgeous as ever. Review coming soon.
-
I like the game to, i think its exelent. Once i get to a higher level i'll be able to go further. how do i become a luxon or a kurzick ??? .
-
idk i was wondering the same thing, anyone know? ???
-
Gah! Its back! Get it off!
Oh, and guildwars is interesting to say the least. I thought things such as the new "Graft" mechanic where mostly a rehashing of older, better thought out ones.

whats he talking about

whats this
-
Mr. Hamburger, just an fyi. You're not winning any friends. Among the reasons are double posting and not really contributing anything with your posts. These aren't bannable, but they also don't earn any respect.
Please Read the FAQ (http://www.timewastersguide.com/boards/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=news;action=display;num=1080380396) and Introduce Yourself (http://www.timewastersguide.com/boards/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=news;action=display;num=1051196804)

Wonder if this is Smilo/ad again? His isp is near Smilo's (I did a reverse look up).
-
probably, but we'll wait till he crosses a line first.
-
Personally he reminds me of German_Hamburger (A.K.A the Hambugler). He was banned too wasn't he?
-
and he was another 12 year old from britain...
hmmmm
and he keeps posting to the guild wars thread...
conincidence?
-
I think not.
-
my advice: ignore the thread. Just don't post on it. If that's what he is, you're giving him exactly what he wants.
-
I personally would rather talk about the game at hand then anything else, and if this thread doesn't get back on track it might get moved to rants and stuff.
The next Guild Wars expansion has been announced and should be out for Christmas, Guild Wars: Twilight, it's an African themed set while Factions was Asian themed.
I know Fell has been playing this, who need to remember to poke me Thursday so I'll remember to bring him my extra RAM, but what about Entropy or any other TWG regulars?
-
The original guild wars wasn't gripping enough for me to fork out extra cash. It's got the problem endemic to many MMO's - you need groups, but getting groups is an annoying and painful experience.
-
Dangit, I still need to write the review for this.
-
I play Guild Wars semi-regularly. Main character is called "Vicks The Vice", senior officer of the [PMS] Luxon guild. Hehe...PMS. Gotta love the pink cape with the angry monster face on it.
Look me up if you feel like a good fight, either against or alongside me. I'm pretty sure if you add one character to your friends list, all other characters on the same account are there too.
Right now I'm trying to save up enough faction and materials to get some wacky combination of the 15K Luxon, 15K Kurzick, and Obsidian (Fissure of Woe) armors for my Warrior. My other characters look better in cheaper armors anyway, and it's not like you can't get the cheap styles with max stats anyway.
