OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Ok... in the Last 2 days, I have gotten at least 5-7 low Ratings (as my average dropped by at least .3 points). I do not care about the rating- which is why I don't turn it off- but I do consider it to be exremely rude for someone to give such a low rating and not tell the person they are rating. So, if you are one of the people that I pissed off and rated me with a 1 or something, could you do the right thing and tell me to my face that you do not like me (or like what I said)? You can email me if you do not want it public information. Do not worry, as I will not bite your head off. I just want to know who my Posts upset. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif If anyone else wants to give me a low rating (or a high one, or an average one), go right ahead. Just tell me if you have a problem with me.

Geez...for someone who doesn't care about rating, you're sure making enough fuss about it. I think I can recall 3+ Posts you've said something about it in the Last couple days.

PS

I rated you a 5 a long time ago... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

I don't care about Ratings. I do care about it when people do things like bad-mouth others behind their backs. That is essentially what giving an anonymous bad rating is.

I just found it funny that people considered the rating important enough to give me a bad rating. That is the only reason I mentioned it in those 3 Posts (and it only happened after someone else mentioned that I had dropped to 4 stars http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ).

Because you are Ruler of the World and since it is so far from perfect they hold you responsible http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

I would let it go, Fyron. Someone rated me low at some point recently. It doesn't matter, though. If you don't like what I have to say, don't read! I have read your Posts for a while now. Those who have know that you are an excellent contributer. You should be flattered that you can evoke that powerful of a response in someone while still being a productive member of the board. That sort of power only comes once in a lifetime! And don't let your stalker get you down! At least you know that someone is always thinking about you! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

You are well respected in my book. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif I can't begin to account for all the help (and fun) you provided. And most here would agree, I'm sure.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Yeah, cause as the Ruler of the World, I have the power to have you secretly assasinated at any time I want. So, you better brown-nose! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif j/k Actually... brown-nosing is much more likely to get me to have you assasinated... I hate brown-nosers..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

But anyways..... if something I posted offended someone, I would like to learn what offended them. Maybe I can learn to post such information in the future in a way that would be less offensive. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Fyron's buried himself so far, that's it going to take at least 15 consecutive 5's before he gets his missing star back! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Don’t worry about it my friend. You are well respected within the core of the community. And this is not the first time the hateful little bast$$$s have taken a cheap shot at you. Personally, I would take it as an indication of how badly they envy your game skills http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

What Fyrons been demoted? *shock*

I gave the guy a 5 star rating for just making a cool mod that I enjoy using.

By post count alone, he should be at least a six star rating by now.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Fyron, I'll admit I 'thought' of give you a 1 star rating but I respect what you do around here to much. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I'd prefer just to take cheap shots at you, and in-game take out those lowly undefended planets, since it takes a dozen of my ships to take our any of your Vorlon fighters... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Hi Fyron

You got my 5 star vote a long time ago.

No question about it, you are smart, brilliant, gifted and have an extraordinary grasp of the game.

I may regret what I am about to say, but you did ask. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif In my opinion a true friend will tell the truth as he perceives it.

Of course, the friends perception of truth does not in any way mean that he correct or right in his perception but at least he is being truthful about it.

So, recently, there may be a problem with humility. In some areas, there is no obvious right or wrong, just a difference of opinion which cannot be resolved on a right/wrong basis.

Lord knows, at times I suffer from a lack of humility. To some, it may even be most of the time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I am sure I have offended some people with my lack of humility and to these people, I apologize for the righteous attitude I may have taken.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Is this where we go for the Fyron roast?

I consider myself a friend of Fyron, and I can say with surety that he has no problem at all with humilty. He doesn't have any. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Ok, just to let you know I didn't rate you low Fyron. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif In fact I gave you a 5 star rating just a couple days ago. I feel you are a great asset to this community and without you around it wouldn't be the same. If I could give you another 5 star rating I would but seeing as I can't... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
But I thought I'd let you know that our 'discussion' did not offend me in any way enough for me to rate you badly.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Fyron, I did rate you with 1 star back then in the first week I posted in this forum. You were saying something really awful about Proportions that I didn't like, and you know that Proportions is my loved one, and as a newbie I didn't know how important you were to this community and how many good things you have done, so you got one star... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif .
I got to know you better after that, and I would take that rating back if I could.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Fyron, I gave you a 1 star recently because I had assumed that as a student, you would have only got as far as learning to cook french fries and wouldn't have moved onto burgers etc yet.

I also give anyone from the Eastern or Western SeaBoards of the Continental United States a 1 star rating as a matter of principal

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">What?
As a matter of principal?
What do you mean by that?

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Aloofi, probably the same reason that you give your place of origin as "anywhere but Europe".

I suppose I could narrow it down and say that I give Californians and any north american I suspect of liking country & western music a 1 star rating as a matter of principle.

What do I know, I am scared of clowns and morris dancers

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh, I thought it was some political stuff.
I really don't like when people assume that everybody from any giving country are the same. Of course, free speech is supposse to allow for such ideas.....

Anyway, I like Speed Metal, so I'm not in your target group..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Oh I dont know about that Aloofi, I hear that Billy Ray Cyrus wanted to do a song with Pantera.

It would have been the worst of both worlds!

WTF is Speed Metal anyhow? is it like Death Metal, Thrash Metal, Nu Metal, Bibbidibop Metal and my Uncle Alf doing Waltzin' Matilda on his kazoo?

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Speed Metal is usually confused with Thrash, mostly because many bands play both. Classic Speed metal bands would be Slayer and Sepultura. Then you have albums like Metallica's "And justice for all" which its undoubtely a Thrash album, but the Last song, "Dyers eve" is an Speed Metal song. To add more confusion, most radio stations gave up this classification and call them just Heavy Metal bands, when Heavy Metal is just one kind of metal, not a generic name for all types of metal.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Thank you for that Aloofi. I am now going for a liedown.

Where does my Europe "The Final Countdown" album fit into all this?

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

Europe -> Poodle Rock.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Heavy Metal, though some guys might add the moniker "Commercial" before it to diferentiate it from Iron Maiden and AC/DC.

Europe would be in the same bundle with Poison, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

I have never rated anyone. I don't see the importance of it. While there could be a correlation between the
Rating, Post count, when a person signed up
and
The qualty of their post
there are too many other posssible reasons for the level of these units of measurement.
It behooves one to take these measurments with a grain of salt.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

i always thought speed metal was stuff like Sore Throat, Naplam Death and the great libary from Earache Records, and Land Speed Records.

The Slayer Reigh in Blood is a classic album. From beginning to end.

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Me likes metal. But calling Slayer and Sepultura speed metal would be wrong. They have both gone from death metal bands to a more speedier genre yes but their work from the beginning is not speed metal. I like them though.
It happens that i recently discovered 3 good new bands from a friend of mine who reviews cds ( rockreport ) namely: Evergreen (kick ***), Nightwish (even better) and Vanden plas(good).

One of my all time favourite cd's is still "Heartwork" from Carcass. I like their "Swansong" too. Other bands i like: Amorphis, Anathema, Cathedral (Forest of Equilibrium rules!), BoltThrower, Samael, My dying bride, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

You may have suspected me since we've had recent 'discussions'. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif However I haven't rated anyone on this forum ever IIRC.

Must have been lurkers that rated me with those 1s then. I guess they aren't likely to fess up any time soon, as then they would hardly remain "lurkers". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I think those first ones must have been 4s. I just got another rating, any my average dropped by .1 or so. The first ones only lowered it by like .01. Oh well. Lets see if I can't still get a 1 average. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Fryon,

To quote rdouglas “despite recent discussions”, I to can state that I have not given you a low rating. I have not been on the Boards for months and had to drop out of my games.

I agree with you that if you have a problem with someone, you should stand up and say it. I think you know that; you know my views on your role-playing based on what I have stated in the Bash. Based on that, let me ask that troublesome waste of skin Tigga if the genetic accident he is calling a child has arrived yet? Where is the current Tigga bashing thread anyway?

Fyron:
Since this thread won't die here is my comments:

Your mods and your helpfullnes when someone asks questions clearly deserve a fiver.

I personally don't like your political views, but I would never rate anyone because of a difference in opinions.

I have rated you low because you have a tendency to flame every idea not your own. I think this is very counterproductive to the SEIV society and also SEV development. Several posters have dropped completely out of the forum after one of your very rude responses.

To end this post, I am gonna quote you:
“Please don't be so arrogant to assume that you hold absolute truth and anyone that disagrees with you is naive. The only one being naive there is the person that believes they hold absolute truth.”
