Former Blogring GM moving here. =] Options

[The_Negotiator]

Greetings everyone,

I'm Cursive Soul, or Mic (Pronounced Mike), as everyone called me on blogring. (My username was The_Negotiator. If you're feeling daring, go to BR. Ask around about me. The stories you'll hear...haha).

To tell you about myself, I was at that site for over two years, logging posts. Because of the way I handled people, and of my strong opinions and beliefs (Voted board most Opiniated more times than I could count), I quickly rose to the position of forum mod, then Global Moderator. That was a long time ago. I was removed, once, because, to save you the long version, I used my power, unlike the innefectual leaders we had then, and thusly, those same individuals rose up and overthrew me.

I brooded for some time, continuing to post. Due to popular support, I rose to forum mod position again, then to GM, once more. I became the longest standing, non-resigning/quitting GM on BR. I've survived three ownership changes, and many other events on the site.

That was, of course, until recently. My girlfriend, Jamie Lynn, was a co gm with myself. (I believe her username is Twin_Cinema on CB). Though we were firm, we were fair. We did our jobs, and because we didn't have a stable staff, did most of the mod work ourselves. We were recently stripped, due to our "strong" opinions, and for biting back when individuals lashed out at us. Because our forum admin is a little kid, he's easily influenced, and thusly, we were overtaken (again). After two years of playing drama with children, I grew tired of it. Tired of arguing. Tired of defending a hardcore group of members which really just continued to shrink or hide in their Secret Societies. So I left.

( Ha, that sounded so melodramatic xD).

And now I'm here. I kind of view this as a fresh start, a repeat process. BR was my home, maybe CB will, dependent on the reception. Either way, glad to be here, and I wish you the best.

Thanks for the welcome, and checking out my blogs, I ope to see you around. :)

[*mzkandi*]

That was an interesting read. Well, Mike, welcome to cB! My name is Kiera, I really hope you stick around and such because you seem like very interesting member to have around.

[*My Cinderella.*]

You have an interesting story. Seems like you've come a long way, welcome to Createblog. I'm Jane, nice to meet you.

[*digital.fragrance*]

Hey Mic - yeah, I agree that BR isn't the most stable place... I have n account over there, and if my word matters to you - cB is definitely better, more friendly, and more like family. You'll love it here!

Anyway, my name is Rachael, and I hope to see you around more!

[*ranniel*]

Hey, I was from Blogring too and a global moderator. I think I knew you, I guess I was mod before you because I can't remember you. I was xotice on Blogring, but I was demodded by fxcking Michael Chzang for saying our forums were crap, by that time I was giving suggestions, and he didn't like my critique, so I came to cB, and I became someone who is respected and all. And now hopefully soon to be a mod here, if a mod nominates me. I'm Ranniel, btw - Please be sure to read the community guidelines and have fun!

[PrincessAda]

Hey Mic.I`m Ada. Nice ta meet you.

[The_Negotiator]

I will begin posting full time on Createblog soon.

I'll tell you the portion of my story no one here has heard yet. And yes, it's going to sound melodramatic, but it always is that melodramatic. I will share this in the thread, but I'll tell you first.

There were always titans. Since near the beginning, there were a handful of us whom were close, good friends. We worked hard to keep our site together, to foster new friendships, to push into the future.

With ultimate power comes ultimate responsibility, as they say. And ultimate corruption. There was a delicate balance of power. The mod staff, in itself, was a bloated sesspool of corruption. One giant clique, which we were forced to bow to. We could not speak if they didn't like it. We were shot down. We were right, but that didn't matter. We had no voice.

Then, one day, everything changed. One of the staff left. I went above our community mods, our GM's, and one of our admins. The site owner made me a GM. The balance of power, shifted then. The one person they perhaps hated the most, was now equal. (Equalized, of course, by the then immense community backing I had).

Near immediately, I called into question the practices of our current staff. I called for their removal, I called them foolish, innefectual, and above all else, weak.

It took four days for a petition to be circled by the clique staff to have me removed. I was stabbed in the back and removed.

Weeks went by. By this time, the caged bird had been let fly, of course. Even after being shot back down to regular member, I began an outcry. A rebellion. My enemies had been made apparent, and, in the name of the collective good, I made it my mission to overthrow them. They laughed.

They laughed up until the point, using open attacks, debate, and certain manipulations perhaps I'm not proud of, that they began to be removed one by one. I was promoted to Boys Only Mod, which would be the contemporary equivalent of the worst post possible, yet, we did well for ourselves in boys only. For different reasons, their clique fell apart, mostly because they assumed control of different Secret Societies, and for the most part, abandoned the community. I was promoted GM again.

I did my job well, and, for not really having a full staff list, the four GM's whom were active really cleaned house. We survived hacks, we survived takeovers. But we survived. As I mentioned, I was forever called opinionated, and quite "blunt".

It was popular opinion I was power hungry, though, while that seemed to be the favored accusation, it was never substantiated. I finished every controversial, challenging post, with a "prove me wrong". They never did. Everyone knew my name. I was revered by most, and absolutely hated by the most powerful members. I endured more flaming and personal attacks than anyone, and, to their chagrine, didn't have a problem throwing it back.

This occured, of course, over a two year time span.

The intricacies are too much to recount, it really all unfolded like a made for TV movie. I met my current girlfriend on blogring. I've made many friends.

Recently, the other two GM's resigned, finally. The last vestiges of a dying regime had ended. BR, I, had peace for months. All really was well. It was quiet, after years. And I enjoyed it.

I had, of course, dealt with the machinations behind the scenes. The constant plotting, the constant brooding. I spent a good portion of my time quelling rebellion. In my comfort, I grew lax. I was unchallenged, I was enjoying my post in paradise, with my dear Jamie Lynn.

A week ago, suddenly, without warning or plausible reason, I was removed. She was as well, at the drop of the hat. No real explanation given. It was just done. The previous, moderators were put back in power.

The same mods, if I may quote one, which said "BR can rot in hell, for all I care." And suddenly, everything seemed futile. There was no outcry, though one could have been made. No call to justice or reason. The community had changed then, I realized. All the old members were gone, I knew then. I, she, we were fighting for a memory. A shadow. Something lost, long ago.

Most of my topics are trashed. I don't really bother to reply anymore. There is no point. I feel a dramatic sense of loss over it all. I hate to fail.

I don't know what to expect here, and I don't ask anything. I'm just seeking a fresh start. I hope I can get it.

I still have some loose ends to tie up. Then, when I get finished with BR for the final time. I hope to make fast friends, and I'm sure, given time, I'll tassle with a few of you. All in good fun. :)

Also, thanks for the welcomes, and Ranniel, if it makes you feel better, Michael sold off BR a month or so back. Since that time, we've been re-sold again. Not that Michael actually did anything. :P

[*salcha*]

One of the most interesting introductions I have ever read.

Blunt eh? We have plenty of that here...you'll fit right in.

[*digital.fragrance*]

Wow... quite the story. I do say that BR seemed a bit 'cold'.. and even as a 'new' member with not many posts, I thought it was EXTREMELY cliquish... glad I started here.

You will fit in no doubt about it!

[Ave Dominus Nox]

Don't believe a word he says.

I come from BR, and have seen many changes. Mic is not to be trusted. He manipulates and screws with every mind he is in contact with. He tried to break apart two loving, caring families, but was stopped when his GM powers were taken away.

I take from his BR sig:

Whatever, it's been fun.

I'll remember the good times, I'll remember the bad. I'll never forget the ideas I've spread, the changes I've caused. Thanks for making me a celebrity. I'll miss many of you. The rest of you, I've done enough to you. Time to move on. I pick up, to find another kingdom.

Best Wishes,
Mic
Ave Dominus Nox indeed.

(Yes, this is goodbye. You may see me around from time to time though. Hiatus is for the weak).

You have been warned, and hopefully cB will not fall to this trickery.

Hi, Criss. (...Just guessing.)


Very nice posts, Mic. :]
I'm behind everything he just mentioned. Blogring is like... well, this reference is overused, but it's like a clique-esque high school full of bitter dysfuntional pissed off teenagers/elitist douche bags.

But that's okay. Hopefully, cB will be a nice alternative.

Oh, and by the way, I'm the infamous Jamie Lynn. I guess this can double as my into thread, also.

[Ave Dominus Nox]

I am flattered, Jamie. But... no. I am not one, but many.

[twin__cinema]

I am flattered, Jamie. But... no. I am not one, but many.

Right right. You're all of EdV.
Just a tip: Don't duplicate "undercover" usernames. People will often figure you out.

Toodles.

[Ave Dominus Nox]

Oh my, you're quite the riot. I'm not even in EdV. You, actually, when apart of EdV, strictly said no to me joining.

[twin__cinema]

O RLY?

Don't believe you. Don't care. :]

Mic and Jamie, just because you lost your GM powers doesn't mean that you get to act horribly towards anyone that you feel fit. You must still follow the established rules of blogring or you will be suspended.

"It's why this thread is locked, whomever unarchived it, don't do so again. It's that simple. It won't be hard to find the logs and check."

If only he didn't act like he had more power than he really did. He didn't have access to the logs, only I do. As for that magical moderator who unarchived it, that was me. There was no reason for it to be archived.

O W N E D .

The admin. of BR, John (Snaple), can fill in any unanswered questions you have about these two.

O RLY?

Don't believe you. Don't care. :]

Jamie, your ignorance is atrocious. And Mic's got you wrapped around his pinky. You're a disgrace to those who fought for woman's suffrage. Your mother would be ashamed.

[*digital.fragrance*]

... whoa people... don't turn this into a hate thread. Really - this isn't cool - AT ALL.

Either way, I'm not taking a side. I don't care what happened at BR, and I don't think anyone else does. What I do care about is what happens here.

.............calm down?

But I am concerned with one thing - do you think you're just going to become a mod instantly? Because the whole "repeat process" thing and "find another kingdom" thing... please clarify. thanks!

[misoshiru]

OKAYOKAY. stop with the hating already. it's spam, and if you really want to talk about this, take it to PM-ing.

but, welcome Mike, and Jamie Lynn. I'm Yanlin, also known as yanners. i used to post around BR 2 years ago. but anyhow, I'm not judging you on your past, although that is a rather interesting story. I think you'll fit well in cB despite the BR animosity and having strong opinions is always a good thing. I hope you'll have a good time around here.

I do believe you all are stretching that quote from John way too far. Oh, he'll suspend us for speaking our mind, God forbid! Newsflash: I don't care.

And now I'll address that second point. What, exactly, am I ignorant of? You didn't make that very clear. I'd say your ignorance is atrocious. You know nothing of mine and Mic's relationship, so I highly recommend you step off from saying anything about it. Simply because we've defended each other (from the beginning, might I add), agreed with one-another, care for each other deeply, you'll come in and falsely accuse us of, well, bullshit. I am most definitly not "wrapped around his pinky". We've encountered our disagreements, which clearly means I don't just go with anything he says. I don't bend that way. Simply because we have a mutual understanding and share a lot of the same views, you have to accuse me of being his bitch? Funny, John said the opposite- how he's MY bitch. Hmm. We stick together in these situations, and that's it. We have our own individual thoughts, too. Like I said, you know nothing of what goes on between us.

Oh, and my mother is very proud of me. She knows me more than anyone else does, and she's pretty much my best friend. She is not ashamed of me in any way, and I can say that with full confidence, thank you very much. :D


May I also advise that you do not continue to waste your time here. Your evidence is weak and your argument is basically non-existent. Web site hopping attempting to alienate someone you don't like is very childish and pathetic, and before you further make a fool of yourself, leave.

... whoa people... don't turn this into a hate thread. Really - this isn't cool - AT ALL.

Yep, I know, but some people just don't know when to stop. Pretty sad, eh?

I'm perfectly calm, but I'm pittying this pathetic person who thinks they have to send someone 22 PMs, and then post repeatedly trying to make them look bad while they're failing miserably.

...

[Miss Criss]

Hi, Criss. (...Just guessing.)

Wrong, but this is Criss.


This is actually quite amusing. I welcome you two to cB. ;)

[Cykia]

^^ what she said.

Funny how we meet again on another forum - or should I say kingdom?
(joking)

Haha, welcome.

[Robyn Leigh]

Have fun here - this is a nice place.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

Whatever people. Anyways welcome to CB. I had an account in BR and it stunk.

[hi-C]

Well, Ave Dominus Nox and others, I'm willing to give these two the benefit of the doubt. Why should we judge when we've just met?

Welcome to CB, Mic and Jamie.

[*Statues/Shadows*]

It's better they spam and amuse us then not spam and have this place be as boring as it has been lately.

[The_Negotiator]

Well thanks cB, and I hope to see you all in other threads soon. I'm sad this was turned into a hate thread, but I take heart, cB is not BR, and I won't have to deal with the same people...

As for the EdV members who did post here, why? I left quietly, so did Jamie, you followed us to flame...how pathetic. If it's a war you want, then let's load the guns one final time, for old time's sake.

And also, Ave Dominus Nox, using my slogan against me, How clever. Almost as clever when you photoshopped my pics to embarass me, or created an entire site to embarass me, or created another forum to overthrow me, or made hugely long threads to bash me, or created new accounts to flame me, or started an IM chat war to get around me.

This is sad, really. Grow up.

[snaple]

I do get quite the laugh out of this topic. It shouldn't be on cB but rather on BR. cB drama never crosses over to BR and it should be just the same for BR drama crossing over to cB.

Anyways, it is nice to see that you have found a new home Mic. I wouldn't want to see you without one.

(If you want to hear my view on Mic, or Jamie, PM me.)

[Ave Dominus Nox]

Well, Ave Dominus Nox and others, I'm willing to give these two the benefit of the doubt. Why should we judge when we've just met?

Welcome to CB, Mic and Jamie.

Good, but be wary. We don't want cB to suffer, it's a very nice forum. =)

We took no part in any of that, because we're not in EdV. You've made quite a few enemies and EdV isn't your only one. With the self-proclaimed size of your intelligence, you should of figured us out by now.

Blindy threatening people wasn't the best choice of action. You're now involving more people than necessary. We're sorry for ruining your clean and selfless aura on cB, but cB and BR go for the same causes and we can't stand to see cB grieving.

[The_Negotiator]

Okay Geoff, Criss. :)

Have fun, Anything else, you're IMing me now anyway.

I'm ignoring you all now, hope you all have fun.

[Ave Dominus Nox]

Mic, Mic, Mic. Are you THAT ignorant? I am not in EdV and you, sir, aren't even close. Feel free to IM me, AveDominusNox22.

[Gigi]

Oh, wow. I'm sorry, I'm probably not supposed to think this way, but this is hilarious to me. This has to be the most entertaining introductions thread ever.

However, I definitely agree with Snaple. Although this is endlessly entertaining, BR drama should stay in BR. It's just a bit strange to have to cross over to createBlog.

Anyway, Mic, welcome to cB and I hope you enjoy your stay, be it a long or short one.

[Ave Dominus Nox]

"I became the longest standing, non-resigning/quitting GM on BR. I've survived three ownership changes, and many other events on the site."

You forgot the part where you were fired three times for being power hungry.

[Ave Dominus Nox]

You should talk to Mic about that. We're just making sure you don't get the crap we had.

[*digital.fragrance*]

This is kind of funny....

Seriously one person can't bring down cB... it's pretty sad that BR, in your opinion, suffered that much... not a very strong community, eh?

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt - I form my own opinions.

Not more hate - PM so we don't get involved. Tarnishing someone's reputation when they are getting a new start is pretty low.

[Ave Dominus Nox]

We're educating you on the reputation he has already built.

[*digital.fragrance*]

^ "we?" Hasn't it only been you? I am grateful that you care enough to give the heads up, really, I am. But now you've given us your warning, and I think it's time for all this debating to stop... trying to scare him away from new forums isn't accomplishing anything.

From your perspective: Even if he messed up, aren't people allowed second chances?

Let us give him a chance please.

[Ave Dominus Nox]

Obviously, this is more than one person if the word "we" is used...

And just so you know, he's probably running on his fifth chance. When does it end?

But okay. From this person, at least, you've been warned...

[The_Negotiator]

*cries*

my intro thread is turned into a hate war...I'm even trying to talk to them on AIM.

[Ave Dominus Nox]

Amusing, Mic, how you are acting just so different.. but moving on..

It's also amusing how Jamie refuses to admit her feelings are hurt.

[Ave Dominus Nox]

I'd love nothing more than to have the drama put to an end, but Mic here has pretty much done nothing than have those love him and then he ends up hurting 99.9% of them in the end...

Except Jamie Lynn, of course, but I'm sure that's only to come. He is only using her for his own selfish purposes. What better person to use than one who admires you?

[*digital.fragrance*]

I'd love nothing more than to have the drama put to an end...

Then put it to an end for goodness sake. Just stop - it isn't worth it. Seriously.

Geez, I can't wait till the staffing's over and everyone can go back to normal and stop trying to kiss ass.

Amen.

[Ave Dominus Nox]

I'm afraid it isn't up to me. Believe me, it was attempted, but the loose ends of Mic's head failed to complete that.

[hi-C]

Then allow me to put an end to it for you. At least in this thread.

Sorry about this, Mic.
