The issue of Monte Carlo may be solved Corinthe but you are not winning friends for lashing out the way you do. Mods have long memories and so does the spectators on the sidelines. Your actions have damaged you, perhaps you should refrain from responding to things until your emotions are in check. I'd hate to lose such an interesting adversary to ill thought out actions and emotionally charged mistakes. Only people who believe in me and can take up with my temper will stay my friends. There are many like CG who never stopped believing in me. Those are my true friends. I rather jump of a bridge than have the wrong crowd around me.

I saw that, glad you posted this here as an update. I still doubt that I will revceive an apology for being called a liar or being serioiusly biased, but such is life.
Too bad she got perma-banned, guess they felt it was nec.

Too bad she got perma-banned, guess they felt it was nec. Being perm-banned is better for me. Your story about me was flawed, and far from the truth, because you never wondered why I did ll this. You just wrote a very onesided story full of bias. At least I am not deleted, while I am still in power in Monte Carlo. Your pity reporting is not worth an apology. You should have asked me for my side of the story too, in order to show impartiallity. For once I see that Francos has a point in banning you from reporting in The Pacific. You forget that there are two sides to each story, and in this case you were not even close enough to the truth. Btw, I never said that Neut was wrong for banning me. I just think the punishment is to harsh, since it also effects my family.

I am quite sure that she would have been more than happy to respond to a request for an interview. Too bad you guys missed that opportunity, but at least you guys remain consistent in remaining biased.

Not really Thorin. I asked for it. Corinthe said that I should come back after two days when she had calmed down. But unfortunatly, real life got in the way.
But of course, it is my fault as a truly biased reporter to have real life, I shall imediatly resign from my real life and become a real NS junkie. From now on I shall be online 23 hours a day and only sleep one hour per day. That will really spice up the broadcasting.. So many spell errors, so many faults.
But you know Thorin, not one person has ever been IP banned for calling us biased. No input ever modified. I wonder.. would a truly biased station really do that? Let people wander back unchecked when they are only out to insult others..
Heck lets start with you. I mean.. we have only existed since June. Only one IP ban in the register right now. So lets make it 2 IP bans with yours.
Let us see how many who belive I have IP banned Thorin

Okay Jerome, I apologize to you. I did not realize that you had actually attempted to contact Corinthe so that you could in fact get her side of the story. I really do appreciate the fact that you did attempt this. Accordingly, I also appreciate the effort that you and the reporters have put in this website. I do not think it is wrong for someone to criticize; in fact I hope that criticisms may be useful to help improve your site. I would not continue to read the articles on this site if I did not feel there was any value in doing so. I hope that you accept this apology, and in the future, I shall not criticize you since it is apparent that you have given all the effort that you can afford to on this site. This is a most sincere apology and I hope that you accept it. Also, thanks for not IP banning me.

in the future, I shall not criticize you . criticise \Crit"i*cise\ (kr?t"?-s?z), v. t. [imp. & p. p. Criticised (-s?zd); p. pr. & vb. n. Criticising.] [Written also, more analogically, but less commonly, criticize.] [Cf. G. kritisiren. See Critic.] 1. To examine and judge as a critic; to pass literary or artistic judgment upon; as, to criticise an author; to criticise a picture. 2. To express one's views as to the merit or demerit of; esp., to animadvert upon; to find fault with; as, to criticise conduct. --Blackwood's Mag. Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc. By all means criticise. It is constructive and not neccecarily a negative judgement of a person's work. Actually your praise of Jeromes work is a criticism, simply a positive one. THe misunderstanding is understandable though, the word has taken to mean a neagative judgement in resent times. I think it is unneccecary, unfounded, illinformed criticism that is unwelcome.

Well, I agree with you, but I could have been a little less scathing about it. There is a way to criticize without being rude, and I feel I was being rude. In any event, if I ever offer criticism again, it will be a little more thoughtful. Besides, we all have a real life and it has much more priority than the game, and it appears that I had forgotten that. I hope that Jerome can appreciate the fact that I am remorseful about this.

Don't worry Thorin, I was in a unreasonable bad mood when I wrote that. I accept the critiques. It is only that it is the persons who "lost" in the debate that are usually screaming biased. Doesn't matter if we wrote something real good about them 2 days before. Lets just drop it.

Doesn't matter if we wrote something real good about them 2 days before. Lets just drop it. Just because we missed each other, and that you occasionally write something good about me, doesn't mean that you are intitled to write a biased onesided story. You should at least have written that I wasn't able to give my side of the story, which wasn't true, I just wanted to cool down, so I could tel it without flaming. It ispartly your fault and partly my fault. We'll keep in the middle who's fault it mostly was. Mine offcourse. I give you the freedom to write what you want about me. I will not longer offer my help on any story that concerns me. I know now that you have no problem to write about me, without my help. Okay, consider the subject dropped now.

Well that kind of puts a spanner in my plan-machine. Not to worry, no loss if it never began.
