    Hmm, would saying she overreacted result in a bit less ire than saying she was a jerk?

    As far as being confused, I'm a little confused as to why WK is apparently no longer a CK? I mean my little outburst aside I do think he's one of the coolest cats around here and it'd be a real shame to see him bowing out too.

    Seriously, what is going on with the staff here lately?

    WK mentioned a month or so back that he wasn't sure if he was up to staff anymore because he didn't feel like he was being very active. He stuck around to give it another shot and then decided today that he hadn't really changed his mind.

    Pretty straightforward, just bad timing to lose two CKs at once.

    Guess I'd better start watching my back.

    It's probably some master scheme by BoB or Shlup or both to drive everyone out then take over completely. Of course the loser will just be the first to stab the other in the back because the winner will anticipate it Sherlock Holmes style and have a plan in place to take them down.

    Better to kill them both now and have all out war in the ensuing power vacuum I say.

    Well you would know a thing or two about that.

    Basically, we've been insisting that staff members actually contribute to the community in order to stay on staff, and some people are being pissy about it. No big deal.

    FOA = Fire_Of_Avalon? I remember her. I haven't been here for the drama, however, I can see how this place inspires enough anger to quit. It took me 4 years to "come back" and post (you can thank PG for that one), and to be perfectly honest, I don't even quite remember what set it off, I just remembered being full of rage thinking about this place. Meh. Just like other sites, you'll rage, but you'll eventually go back to them. Just like 4chan, Reddit, DIC, etc.

    And to answer the question: electrostatics and magnetic physics confuses me. I got a D in it last quarter. Maybe I shoulda actually showed up for class. :P

    Okay, so as far as I understand this situation it is:

    Vivi22 was a jerk to... someone... and foa DTed him, he threw a fit, she got fired for it? With no explanation? Is that right?

    When did DTing a "recognized member" become a firing offense?

    I'm still confused about it!

    In other news, my coworked convinced me that would be able to sell Ghost Recon a week early. I don't know why I believed him but whatever, then I did get confused when he said he was joking. "Wait.. so we aren't selling it a week early or we are Ironic that I made this thread earlier!

    This is not correct, no.

    Further discussion on the topic is best to be directed to Feedback, though

    If you think the EoFF staff seriously condones firing our members over drunk tanking and then changing their names to something mocking their "firing"... I don't even know. Think about that for a minute. And if you still think that's likely the case, I would love to hear how your opinion of us got that low.

    Rantz got drunk and went on a spree. foa apparently only thinks that kind of stuff is funny when she's not the victim. trout happens.

    Poor Pike, trying so hard to keep the madness under control. xD

    I don't think it counts as a firing if it's a [lame] joke.

    Though I'm pretty sure this is somehow BoB's fault.

    If something goes wrong it's BoB's fault? I can get behind that movement.

    Welcome to Team Shlup, where BoB is always to blame.

    So long as I'm not taking the blame for how bad this likely prank is, I'm okay with Shlup taking this line of thinking.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Pike, if there is one thing I regret in all of this, it's flipping out on WK.

    If there are two things, then the second is upsetting you. And I say this as someone who rarely feels remorse for anything, and almost never sincerely apologizes for anything.
