Subject: Can someone tell me...

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

Can someone tell me when the Septagon ceased to be a source of (reasonable) ideas and speculation for new features/events on Bungie.net/the Bungie Community? Was there some meeting I missed where everyone decided that it's better to try and be a smartass and hope Bungie makes you a mod, versus trying to help the Online Team?

Just out of curiosity, guys.

Smartass? Like how?

For example, you. Many times someone has put forth an idea that they really thought would help make things better and you and people like you just absolutely bash the hell out of them, usually accompanied by a 'witty' zinger.

[bashing the hell out of your idea]
I'm not sure where you're coming from on this, but (I've been away from Bungie for a week or so) when I was last here, all the threads are either about new group features, or new features for Bungie.net in general. I'm not sure who's just running around trying to "become a moderator". That's just silly. [/bashing the hell out of your idea]

[witty zinger]Everyone knows it's done sitting down in a dark room with wet noodles and hippos. [/witty zinger]

Sweet irony.

Really? I don't remember doing things like that.

I dunno, maybe you're confusing me with someone else. But any ideas I see on this site (even the not so good ones) are always treated with respect, and I mean it when I say that.

I've put forth ideas too, and I'd like for people to read and reply, not bash. So I make sure to contribute to others' ideas.

And I don't know what you mean by "witty zinger."

Yeah, stop confusing him with me.

I'm offended. Sorry, I'd have to disagree with you, "MCs Brother". Iceman is a very nice guy, and I've never really heard him coming up with witty zingers.

Everyone knows he's not witty. Pfft.

I guess you're talking about that "Purge Bungie.net thread?"

If so, come on. That thread wasn't meant to be serious in the least bit.

Everyone knows he's not witty. Pfft

O_o

Well, "SS_Zag1", you obviously don't pay much attention, do you?

Good grief, ICEMAN, give me a little more credit than that. I've seen people doing this for at least a few months, this isn't a direct response to that thread.

Well, you're accusing me of being a smartass. Well, frankly, I know what a smartass is, and I'm not one.

Unless this is a matter of interpretation, or opinion. In my opinion, I'm not a smartass at all. But if I am in your opinion, then so be it.

A little proof would be nice though.

.. Oh, did you say something? I wasn't paying attention.. -_-

I'm surprised you'd criticize Iceman before criticizing me. I do more of what you've described. (of course, not for the intent of pleasing moderators, but life isn't very fun without a witty zinger to tap-dance out on.) If anything, Iceman is too nice and agreeable.

Still, I'm not sure what you're criticizing. Are you criticizing "Wannabe Moderators" or the current state of the Septagon, which, to me, looks fine?

I would have to guess it was about the time you posted this thread... you are being what seems to be oblivious to the new search bar, as well as the thread about forum enhancements and signature images. Both of which, if you ever cared to read through, are filled with some very good debate and comments not only between members, but of mods and the web team.

Please dont be so general in your claim. Maybe we arent discussing enough for your quote, or arent discussing your favorable topics. But this forum isnt just for Bungie.net ideas, but for the betterment of the community as well as assisting in group affairs and member problems.

To be honest I haven't noticed anything like that.

To add onto Ultima Geeks' comment; instead of making a thread about this, why aren't you making a thread about some idea you have to "help the online team"?

Seems a bit redundant, borderline ironic.

*looks at your shishka thread*
Everyone is trying to be a smart ass, eh?

  • 12.14.2006 6:45 AM PDT

No one really bashes the ideas. They tell the people why it couldn't work, why it isn't needed and such, which is basically the point of posting a suggestion.

And for the being smartasses, give us an example. A thread in which the entire community is being a smartass.

"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."

If you're referring to the thread "Changes to the bungie forum system" by Cheescake Poop, then I somewhat agree. However, he did have it coming, especially after Achronos told him four different times that they were bad ideas.

If you're not referring to that thread, then never mind.

I've always viewed the Septagon as a place for ideas, and sometimes people do post really good ideas. However, sometimes they're only good ideas on paper, but not in reality. I can see where you're coming from, but it's not as bad as you think.

Iceman is usually always a nice guy, even when you make him angry. He's always respectful to everyone. Sometimes he adds in a joke or "witty zinger" as you like to say, but for the most part, he's pretty cool. Pretty..ice. :)

Thanks Duardo, I appreciate it. I know sometimes I'll add a little humor in my post, but I usually try not to because most of the time it's not funny :-)

Bad jokes ftw. But I more or less try to stray from "witty comments," as I don't really like those (but that's just a personal preference.)

Anyways, this thread apparently isn't aimed (solely) at me; lets keep it that way for Rule's sake.

I do see some "bashing" but as Hobo said, that's just the way the community responds to ideas that aren't needed, and even so, I see mostly respect and constructive criticism (which is a good thing) as opposed to "bashing."

The Septagon is fine. Ideas come, Ideas go. Live and let live.
