You big meanie

I don't normally venture out of the Hangout, or any of my own threads in the mornings, so I'll act like I haven't seen that

[Cosmic]

I love your custom user title, by the way. I can see that catchphrase sticking around even after the prank.

[Cookie Monster]

I'll post later, gotta update myself with what was posted in the HO first.. lotsa pages

The way I see it now, without Cyber, with him demoted and with Cosmic only in that side without being SAdmin, the things are not balanced and whatever Sprung says or does won't have the proper counterpart since none is on par with him and he already did the most he can do, he demoted an admin. In the end what's gonna stop Sprung to demote Cosmic too once he demotes Elmdor and Mikey?

So, the only way to balance this is to make them believe that Srung is not the only SAdmin: either the backup we had to use in jan already had another Sadmin (it would have to be Cosmic, I know it can't be me.), or MasJ gave Sadmin powers to another Admin just in case it was needed and Sprung was not aware of that or he just forgot it, or MasJ, after seeing what was done tonight, decided to Sadmin any other admin since he didn't like how Cyber was demoted for pure revanchism reasons only, as a way to force Sprung, Cosmic and everyone to do things with previous deliberation and not only cos they have the power to do it.

I don't know it SAdmins can demote SAdmins, this is the premise for this to work, we have to make them believe that there are more than one and Sadmins can't touch themselves.

This is gold, and it'd be a great way of making the situation just a bit more absurd. If we can keep it serious but add a hint of surrealism it'll stop people from getting too upset and we can have even more fun with it.

EDIT: Cyber, I forgot to ask. Did that dummy account I made for you work OK?

[Cyberxion]

Yeah, I responded Mikey. Don't respond in turn, unless it's to say that you will take it to the Mod Lounge and nothing more. My part in this is done, alright?

Cosmic, yeah, for sure. I'll use it tonight.

Oh, and Cosmic, be sure to read through my last few posts on this matter, so that you can better formulate yours.

Will do.

[Elmdor]

If me and Mikey are to be demoted..

It'll be a bitch going on tonight, but I can do it, so that's no biggie. I can, however, not get on EP much at all tomorrow (maybe just a little around this time). Just so you know..

Cookie kinda mentioned something I had thought about aswell.. what's stopping Sprung from demodding cosmic (you answered that though)/remodding me and Mikey? I could always say that I don't want anything to do with the staff aslong as Cos is here though.

Edit: Well done, Mikey and Cyber. Really, the shit you wrote in the hang out was fucking A.

Edit 2:

A bunch of newbies came out of nowhere making random threads and generally being a pain in the ass. However, some of the spam was good and not all of the new kids are all that bad. While the mods were taking care of the general issues, Cosmic got PO'd over a couple of spam heavy threads being left open. Cosmic then went over everyone's heads (claiming he's been here longer, and is therefore more important) and admin'd cyber to help clean up "sprung's mess" as it were.

Then Sprung started throwing a fit. Mikey started banning random members, namely banned and pirates. (which I claim was under orders from sprung, but it has yet to be confirmed or denied). They were later unbanned.

Sprung then began argueing with cosmic, with mikey's "yes man" attitude backing him up. Things eventually got to the point where there were huge hangout arguments (that were apparently also taken to the mod lounge). They have since promised to keep it out of the hangout.

In the latest move, the mods Elmdor and Mikey, have stopped doing their job and are causing cyber to do all the work, and have started "nazi mod" and "cyber is stupid" all over the place. It was taken to the mod lounge, and whatever happened behind the scenes is yet to be seen by the average member. I guess we'll know when the spammers come back for another run.

Ray rocks. Yeah, me not doing my job would work well with me not wanting my mod spot back, if we were to go with that. I'm just throwing out suggestions though.

[Sprung]

I'm being dragged out of the house.

I gotta go. The car is running.

[Elmdor]

Yeah, we could always take it easy and plan the grand finale or something..

I've got nothing though. I'm still open to the "people leaving the staff idea", but we need something to go with after that.

[Elmdor]

Hugs for everyone.

Um, someone fix the prank, plx.

/So fucking tired.

[Skinner8]

I love how Skinner closed a thread that just wanted to pacify the things pretending that nothing is really happening. A praiseworthy effort from Saril, a calling to common sense without response, it went down without starting
Denying reality, it's also a good course of action for those of us who still are unsure of which side will we join.

It was intended as a curveball to you guys. Maybe I'm too subtle.

[Cookie Monster]

Subtle, you? Nah, I don't know why would you say something like that

[Roux!]

Skinner's denial seemed kinda off-putting to me. He usually doesn't do crazy stuffs, so seeing him "participate" (sorta) in this was weird...

[Elmdor]

Skinner, No one understands your comments, or why you're so obsessed with undergarments.

Right, I'll try to think of a way to end this tomorrow or something.

[Mikey_]

This prank seems to be dragging on. We're kind of in a rut. I blame Sprung (since most would blame Crusher).
