Off Topic Description

[joemanf]

Hi, I'm Joe, and I'm your friend! Today we're going to be talking about the Off Topic Section of the Evony Forum. There are many things to talk about, and not enough space to describe it, so I'll try to explain as much as possible while keeping it in the post limit.

Official Rules - Read First

First things first, there are some deffinitions which you should know about. Here's a few:

Spam- Anything that is completely pointless. (c) Pialpha

De-rail- Sending a thread off the original topic to something else completely random. Sometimes classified as spam. (c) Pialpha

Facepalm- The act of puting one's hand onto one's face and sighing, as if showing distress. Usually used in an insulting manner.

Troll- One who annoys others for their own pleasure.

Flaming- Another word for "arguing", Flaming is throwing insults at other posters, with or without good reason.

Arumen-The Law- Awesome. Pi note: Several Bribes were accepted in the writing of that Definition!

Well, now that we've got some of those out of the way, I'd like to get to some of the older posters of OTD. You should get to know everyone (Except Milo! He scarry!).

(See next post for List of People)

Well, I think that's everyone. If I missed anyone, just tell me.
Well kids, look what time it is - History Class! And look who wrote out history book - Mr. Pialpha himself! Lets begin, students:

OT HISTORY
Authored and Edited by Pialpha.
There are several notes. These are solely the opinion of the editor and in no way reflects actual history.

The Beginning:
When OT began it was the epitome of fun on the forums, if you want to see more about this time that I cannot describe too well, read through the archives.
<--!Editor Note: Seriously, read the archive, it is a good read!-->

The Golden Age:
Under the Domo-ruler, Lord Drazsyr, OT reached its peak, most people classify this as the most fun times in OT.
<--!Editor Note: Lord Drazsyr=Best Mod ever!!-->
<--!Editor Note: Lord Arumen accepting donations of tissues due to devastating loss.!-->

Swansea Incident:
Once a thread was made about Elsworth and his failed RPs, Elsworth reported Demonhero and an ex-rep named Swansea banned him. OT went into an uproar and staged a forum riot, because of this, the reps let Demonhero make a new account called Stormsurge. Unfortunatly, Swansea hated and watched OT from that point on.
<--!Editor Note: Swansea was an [insert word], and I am glad he is gone.!-->

Sovverf Incident:
Sovverf was a mod picked by Swansea, who went rogue, merged EVERY thread in OT into one, and banned most of the Off-topicers. The mods managed to fix most of the damage, but several threads still have not been recovered. This incident also doubled the post count of most OT'ers.
<--!Editor Note: This may be Speculation: TWO of the mods Swansea picked went rogue, the rest went inactive. Swansea also said that Sovverf was hacked but clearly he was not.!-->

Lyla incident:
A member named lyla posted her picture in the photos thread, and was made fun of by Milonius and Zenrax. Milonius and Zenrax were both banned, Milonius appealed and was unbanned, but Zenrax unfortunatly was perma-banned by Swansea. In the end, Zenrax is perma'd, and lyla never returned.
<--!Editor Note: Swansea most likely re-banned Zenrax due to his protest of Swansea's new moderators.!-->

Sephiroth Era:
SephirothX was a spammer, everyone in OT wanted him to be banned, but unfortunatly he did nothing that could get him banned. During this period, people began to think that OTD=Free Spam Party. The few remaining Old OT members tried to fight back via flames and reporting, but it was futile. By a lucky twist of fate Sephiroth did something that finally got him perma-banned.

Shops Era: (A2)
This era was a pleasant spam filled time period that really had no point. But no one minded and we all had fun.

New Mod Era:
Currently OT seems to be getting better, although a slight dissidence seems to be forming. Swansea has left. Though others seem to have taken his place.
