Veeno Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I can't. I'm laughing too hard. You can't type because you're laughing? You laugh with your hands? "Honor". So, I presume you haven't paid the additional 8$ and got in the Order anyway? Is there any way we could get this jackass troll kicked out, then? 1 Hey, I just backed you, and this is crazy, but here's my money, so stretch goal maybe?

Is there any way we could get this jackass troll kicked out, then? Well, Veeno, that's the problem... it's an assumption to say he did or didn't. That he's mocking people now is besides the point. He did donate to the game, which is the bigger position, and if he says he donated in the way the OO was founded to encourage, it isn't really our business to claim otherwise without proof. /shrug 1 Finishing first is only impressive in a race, my dear.
Coincidence Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 "Honor". Yeah, honor system. It's a saying.

Honor, respect and dignity among other things. No biggy. But you know what? Yes, he might have donated hundreds more than us, or yes he's been here longer than any of us combined, and ignoring the fact that he may or may not have pledged the extra $8 to be in the Order, that suddenly makes it alright for him to act like a goon to the rest of us? Just adding that to the thought pool. Also I hope you do end up getting your title. Sending a little luck down your way. Hope it helps. :3 Edited October 17, 2012 by Grand Einherjar

Veeno Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Did you? There is no reason to doubt that I did. The same cannot be said about you. Hey, I just backed you, and this is crazy, but here's my money, so stretch goal maybe?

Honor, respect and dignity among other things. No biggy. I understand that position... given that I've been mocked in the previous comments for my worry about being honest to what the OO founders created the group for in the first place. I'm just saying that it isn't our place to say he should get the boot unless the founds/people-running-the-group have a code-of-conduct rule set that they asked members be a part of. (Which I'm all for, actually, when a group is established as it lets people know the expected social boundaries to respect towards each other.) Veeno: I don't know and... neither do you. Has anyone? The burden of an honor system is exactly that. PS: Thanks, Grand Einherjar. But as I said, I won't cry into my pillow either way. I know I followed the 'spirit' of the effort and will enjoy my copy of the game regardless. Edited October 17, 2012 by Kymriana 8 Finishing first is only impressive in a race, my dear.
Veeno Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Veeno: I don't know and... neither do you. Has anyone? The burden of an honor system is exactly that. Indeed. Which is exactly why we shouldn't go around laughing at each other's faces for something which we were all supposed to do to get in.

Coincidence Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Is there something I could take a picture of maybe to show I had over 8 doillars extra maybe?
Pangur Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I say, don't feed the troll, guys. If he doesn't believe in honesty, that's his problem. Now that KS is over, Obsidian will be able to see who has pledged and how much. 1
LordCrash Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Yeah, it's an honorary system. If you say that you have pledged $8 on top of your reward tier and add-ons we will believe you. We don't like to and aren't able to check if you have spoken the truth. 4
Coincidence Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Oh well... I did indeed do that. I put in an extra $10 after Paypal ended as well.
Veeno Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Oh well... I did indeed do that. I put in an extra $10 after Paypal ended as well. You mean after KS ended? Hey, I just backed you, and this is crazy, but here's my money, so stretch goal maybe?

Coincidence Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I pledged 50 total, with 10 extra not being used with a reward, and then $10 extra after KS ended because I had a little more money than I thought I'd have after it ended.

You know, I think in your case, you'll probably get your title. I'm not exactly an official either but with the way things are going, I think you don't have much need to worry.

It's ok if it's too much trouble. I just liked the idea of the group and met the requirements, and as a silly bonus having "Ordinator" under my picture Edited October 17, 2012 by Coincidence

Archmage Silver Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Hello to both new & old members of the Obsidian Order of Eternity. It was a splendid and emotional run with Kickstarter, but it was also taxing for those of us who answered and posted comments on KS all night long almost every night. With that said, I'm taking a bit of time off from the forums to catch up with the stuff I was supposed to be doing during the KS campaign. You may not see many posts from me for the next few days, but I'll be back. Long live The Obsidian Order of Eternity Edited October 17, 2012 by Archmage Silver 3 Exile in Torment

Kymriana Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 HAha, oh pish-posh. I've been a forum moderate in my time and have played MMOs, among other things, for years. That doesn't even really count as 'trolling' to me as just 'some kid being rude'. But thank you. :3 All in all, I have really enjoyed a lot of the conversations and comments I've seen on these forums. (Well, not all of them, but the moderators have been pretty good about removing the 'bomb-throwing' comments.) Finishing first is only impressive in a race, my dear.
