Druid aka The Master Manipulator Options

[Robert]

As requested, my newest update to share the humor of the New-N-Improved MOB.

For those of you who missed the reasons why MOB moved to a new site, according to the admins the reasons where
1) Druid is a big meanie who's holding a gun to MOB's head.
2) Druid controls and manipulates everything at MOBclan.
That was the two supposed reasons why the admins were so desperate to move the site.
Of course there was a little more to the story.
I'm sure everyone has already seen my previous post about what I saw as the reasons behind the move.
If not, you can find it here
http://www.mobclan.com/forums/upload/index...st&p=172067


Anyway, as previously mentioned, one of the bogus excuses for the move was "How I controlled and manipulated everything"
What I find so funny about that accusation is how I'm apparently still manipulating things at the new "More Secure" website.
You have to admit, it's very impressive I'm able to manipulate things over at the new "More Secure" website when I don't even have an account there.
Would the new admins care to explain?
No?
Going to play dumb again?
not playing?

Maybe you don't know what I'm talking about.
Fair enough, a few examples.


The Roster
This one wasn't directly caused by me but it involved me so we'll count it.
When the undiscussed move took place, the current roster was copied to the new site.
What was really interesting is even though the whole roster was copied an posted at the new site, one small change was made.
My name was removed, every other previously listed retired MOB members name was still on the roster as retired but mine magically disappeared.
When that fact was brought up, the whole roster disappears.
So because of me, now the New-N-improved MOB doesn't have a roster.
Speaking of the roster brings up another funny point.
The roster as it currently is at moblcan was copied to the new site with the only change being my name removed.
Do you notice anything else strange about the roster?
"Steel Retired with honors."
If you don't understand why that's funny, I'll explain it to you.
When I asked why an admin overstepped their bounds an deleted a topic without any discussion.
http://www.mobclan.com/forums/upload/index...opic=16444&
A topic started not by me but another MOB member.
Steel freaked outs, accusing me of controlling and manipulating everything.
Then in her delete happy frenzy, she deletes her own post where she attacked me.
Next she post that she is quitting MOB
Gives long detailed reasons to several people why she is quitting, in her own words "MOB has never been a good fit for her."
Finally, she changes the roster to show herself as Retired with Honors.
I have to ask, how incredibly egotistical is it that someone will change their own name name on the roster to
"Retired with Honors"
That's like giving yourself an award,
Maybe the tendinitis in her shoulder is from patting herself on the back.
It's worth mentioning, this was not the 1st time Steel said she quit.
In fact it's not even the 2nd time, it's the 3rd.
So just remember, the next time Steel post that she quit.
Don't worry about, she doesn't really mean it.

Speaking of Egotistical.
That happens to bring me to my 2nd example of how little 'ol me is able to control and manipulate everything at MOB.


The One and Only.
While viewing the forum at the new "More Secure" site I noticed Steel had created her own personal user group.
Where everyone else was in groups like MOB, Regs, or admin.
Steel was in the groups "The One and Only"
Again a little egoistical sounding but who am I to judge.
Remember her account had said this for weeks.
So one day as a little personal joke I changed my account title at the real MOBclan to
"Not the one and only"
Wouldn't you know it.
faster than a speeding bullet
quicker than crap through a goose.
Steel renames her account from "The One and Only" to admin,
Sorry Steel, my most humble an sincere apology for making you acknowledge you're not better than everyone else.



Server rules.
When I brought up the undiscussed change to the server rules here
http://www.mobclan.com/forums/upload/index...=16689&st=0
I was nice enough to point out there were several spelling/typo's on the single rule the admins felt the need to changes without any discussion with the rest of MOB.
So this would be my super tricky anti-manipulation with a 180 twist.
I successfully forced them to NOT change something that needed to be changed.
If anyone else had pointed out the typo's, the admins would have fixed them.
Since me, the mean manipulative bastard pointed out the typo's, they would rather look stupid by not fixing them, than fixing them as I suggested.


FUN and FRIENDS are ALWAYS more important than winning!!
What a terrible motto.
Not really, I've always thought
"Fun & Friends are more important than winning"
Was a good motto for a gaming clan.
It specifically reflected what MOB was about.
For years you could sum up MOB with that one phrase.
As the old saying goes, that was then and this is now.
Last week while replying to Bullet's post I mentioned how not only the server rules were changed without any discussion but also MOB's membership requirements.
http://www.mobclan.com/forums/upload/index...st&p=172149
In my post I pointed out how the NEW membership requirements were directly contrary to
FUN and FRIENDS are ALWAYS more important than winning!!
I guess the New-N-improved admins agreed with me as they quickly removed that saying from the Code of Conduct page at the new "More Secure" site.
Previously it was an exact copy of this
http://www.mobclan.com/codeofconduct.htm
Now one day after I mentioned how MOB use to be about
FUN and FRIENDS are ALWAYS more important than winning!!
That saying was removed from the Code of Conduct at the new "More Secure" site.
http://mobclan.com/druid/code.jpg

So I guess it's true, I really do control an manipulate everything, not just at MOBclan but the new site too.
One little mention from me and they rush to change something that has been part of MOB for years.
So I have to ask and please be honest.
How petty would someone have to be do to remove something simple an well meaning as.....
"FUN and FRIENDS are ALWAYS more important than winning!!"
just because I mentioned it?.
Never mind don't answer that.
This is America after all,
You have the right not to admit how foolish you are.
Regardless of how small and petty your own actions make you appear.
No need to confirm what everyone else already knows.



Meta Tags
I realize most people have no clue what meta tags are so I'll try to explain.
Most web pages have a hidden attribute called meta tags.
The purpose of them is to give a name and brief description of the site to any search bots which may visit the page.
For example here is the meta tag from a page at MONclan.com

<META name="keywords" content="mob medal of honor clan site,mohaa, maps, skins, mob, clan, allied, assault, {MOB}">

Now what I find really interesting is what the meta tag is at the New
Super Duper
More Secure
New-N-Improved
MOB website.

See for yourself...
http://www.mobclan.com/druid/source.jpg

A few weeks ago I referred to the new site as
TheOtherMob
So know they are describing the new site as
TheOtherMob

So there you go, final irrefutable proof I control everything at the new site too.
BTW while we are on the topic of meta tags.
I have decided to refer to the new clan an website as "The Anti MOB"
This changes was made due to the admins have turned their backs on many of the aspects that made the Real MOB such a success.
So please update your meta tags to include my new description as "The Anti MOB"
Chop Chop
Don't make me wait.
You know if I say it, you're going to do it.

Be sure to check back next Friday for a humorous review of the new

Everyone can copy the above link for the answer to question C)
That should make things easier

[HammaTime]

This has to be a record. As of this evening this thread has had 92 views!!! Stunning, and yet the silence is deafening!

[Shred]

The "more secure" website where people who are banned have access to MOB Council"



Man, there are still a ton of awesome people over there. They need to make theri way back.

[Robert]

I actually find it VERY interesting specifically WHO isn't saying anything.
I know there are a few people who are having to bite their tongues right now.
People who have a near uncontrollable urge to bitch and moan about how wrong I am, Luckily for us, this point keeps them in check
A) You agree to only post something if it's more substantial then ( I'm rubber you're glue, Druid is a big meanie and I don't like him, etc. etc..)
Then there are the few who scamper off into the corners like little roaches to "Privately" say how wrong I am.
Roaches because they are scared to be caught in the light. Afraid to say anything publicly which they could later be held accountable for.
This group is by far the worse.
For months, the secret rule was to NOT say anything on the forums because I may see it.
Now, even after they have moved to the new "More Secure" site. The admins still want no discussions about anything.
That my friends is the 1st rule of reprobates and scoundrels, have nothing in writing. That way there is deniablitiy in place of accountability
So that group has to keep their collective pie hole clamped shut because they fail on this point.
B) You actually have the balls ( as little as they may be ) to backup what you say.
Then there is everybody else.
People who don't really care about any of this.
People who just want to keep on gaming with their friends.
I'm guessing this would account for 95% of the regs and hopefully at least 50% of MOB.
These are the people who won't bother replying because they either don't know what's going on or simply don't care.
Then again, maybe they think it's just not worth it to say anything.
After all, look at how Hamma got jumped because he said what was on his mind.

I know several Regs have been pulled off to the side in vent and had it clearly suggested to them that they stay away from mobclan.
I can only assume something similar has been done with people in MOB too.
The reason given was, I was telling lies and trying to cause problems.
So for the person/people telling the Regs that, care to explain exactly what lies I've told?
Opps, sorry I forgot....
A) You agree to only post something if it's more substantial then ( I'm rubber you're glue, Druid is a big meanie and I don't like him, etc. etc..)
B) You actually have the balls ( as little as they may be ) to backup what you say.
Tell you what, I'll make it easy on you.
I'm going to allow you to bypass A) and B) listed above.
All you have to do is point to......
1 Lie I've told
1 question I've raised that wasn't legitimate.
Cat still got your tongue?
Then I have to ask,
If you don't have the backbone to answer such a simple and direct question.
If you can't man up to what you've done while you privately cast your baseless aspersions at me.
Then the only real question left is, what freaking good are you to anyone?
What's so special about you that you think you have the right to make decisions for the rest of MOB or the Regs without even bothering to discuss it with them.
What's so special about you that you think you have the right to try and tell the rest of MOB or the Regs what they should or shouldn't do?


P.S.
Someone asked that I clarify this....
When I'm talking about "The Admins", I don't include Overheated in that group.
I don't actually know him but the people who do, have told me he's a decent guy who was only trying to help out.
I assume the rest know exactly who I am talking about.

[Shred]

You are 100% correct about Overheated.

[Ice_Cold]

WOW! Cant we all get along

[Robert]

If you think about it, we actually are getting along just fine.
After all, it's not like we are arguing.
I'm simply laying the facts out in an entertaining way for anyone who is interested in reading them.
Facts which regardless of how humorously I attempt to outline, are still facts.
Facts, which i would like to point out are 100% undisputed.


I've no doubt they are telling themselves how they are being the bigger person or doing the right thing by not responding.
Truth is they know they would only talk themselves into a corner.
They are stuck, replying would only make them look worse.
Kind of like a weather man doing a report outside in a rain storm but reporting mild weather and sunny skies.

[maester]

Theres several good people in {MOB} like overheated however they cant keep there heads out of the clouds thinking they are better then everyone else.Some of the guys will treat you like a person where as oyther people (*cough oldmanmike cough*) only want people who can give to the clan (building websites,servers etc).However I see it strange Druid your not in the boat alone.I got accused of trying to take steels job from her here @ {MOB} during my short 2 days here. I mean come on who wants the job I mean hmm how hard was it to take a mod that was already created and modify it (yes its true got the proof from another clan who own the mod before steel claimed it.Might wanna look on codfiles and you will find it).Then there was the site hmm how hard was it to add a skin to IPB? Then top it off come over to *my* work place (www.pbbans.com) and accuse me of follwing her there? I mean come on I work there DUH

Exact words

[gen.gomer-pyle]

when i first found out about mob in 2002 they were all great people. they made you feel welcome when you played on their servers when you could get on them. they have really changed over the years but i have never had any problems with anyone from mob.

[Shred]

Whoever posted that bullshit at theOtherMob blasting Druid, doesn't have the balls to use their own name.



Pathetic. Grow a pair will ya?
