Small note on my signature

As you might already know, the region "North Pacific" (Not THE North Pacific, lol), invited many people in and around nationstates a while ago, inviting them to a big debate contest. I eventually won the thing, and promised them to keep the little title in my signature. So I copied and pasted the little image into my signature, so that whenever someone asked, I could tell them about my good time in North Pacific and how well they handled the contest. Such conversations even provoked other regions to start their own contests, and I pretty much just watch and cheer them on.

The person who made the images was Tweedy. I admit I don't know that person very well, but I respected his efforts and service I saw in and around NS. This morning, I noticed the image had changed to something rather, well, tasteless. Once I noticed the change, I edited my signatures to contain the uploaded image from a hosting site and pretty much the problem was fixed in an hour or so.

Honestly, I was more or less disappointed and kind of surprised than anything else. Mainly because I honestly didn't expect that out of this person. Oh well.

Just updating everyone.

I think I understand the motivations for a bunch of Eli's comments on Tweedy just that little bit better now.

There was a reason that Tweedy was banned from the EP.

Comments? I'd love to see those, if your comfortable sharing them.

May I suggest that before you make criticism of a person because he played a little prank, ask yourself if you ever thanked the person even once for making the original graphic that you parade as your signature! Also, the two others who are making allegations against this person, should really check the true facts, rather than make comments like two old winging women knitting by a guillotine. Eli was fair game for lots of people to make 'in-game' attacks against him because he was abusing his power. He was also no match for Tweedy in the game of repartee, which really irritated him; also Eli proved to be a bit of a swine, by verging on RL no-go areas. Now Tweedy does have an artistic temperament, there's no denying that, but he has done more for NationStates than all of the wingers put together! Tweedy works from home, so he can be excused for being a bit critical of many members logging into NationStates - at Work, Uni or School while they should be either working, studying or doing anything but play NationStates! Tweedy doesn't cheat his employer out of a fair days work; Tweedy doesn't cheat the tax payer by playing NationStates while he should be studying. Tweedy's last great evil thing he did was put the word 'fart' in somebody's pretentious little signature which Tweedy made! Tweedy even kept the original, which he has now put back - have a check! Tweedy had a good laugh even if you sad little people didn't!

By the way, ask TAO for the truth. He really knows Tweedy from way back!

Further proof that only TAO can do the "speaking in the third person" thing right.

Hi Loop! They're complaining about this little prank! How sad!

Well, if Tweedy knew me and was.. um.. here, I'm sure he could remember at least two separate occasions where I thanked him not only for the picture he made regarding the contest, but other other various titles he has made, from the 2007 conference to the TEP titles.

Bottom line, if he had a problem, he should have come to me. Communication is indeed a beautiful thing.

Tweedy will be laughing in his grave, God bless him! Anyway, someone had to tell how it was.

Sorry I can't verify anything, one way or another. Tweedy met his maker a few days ago. Have a good laugh - he would have, I'm sure.

If I had a dime for every time someone on the Internet has told me that, I'd have $12.97 in change in my pocket right now.

Brom tried that a year ago, and it didn't do well for him either. I'd suggest stopping while you're ahead, Tweed.

Is that because you spent $10,000.03 on a new BBQ for TRR?

If your real and fantasy life is one and the same, I can assure you that mine is not. The people you mix with and their personal aberrations are theirs to deal with. I shall repeat what I said previously. Tweedy is no more, he has bit the dust, he has left his perch, he has done his last graphic. I know - I was a very close friend of his; believe me. If you see or hear of Tweedy in the future, then he's either a ghost or you're drunk and seeing things, because he is dead! Although, as he did like a good joke, he still might be smiling in his grave if not actually turning!

No, that's just how much money I had in cash in my pocket at the time. If there were some sort of ludicrous lies-for-coins policy in place, as I theorized, I probably wouldn't be carrying it with me and would ergo have the same amount of money in my pocket.

---

In the event (Heaven forbid) that anything fatal happened to me, I have no doubt that whatever real-life friend or family member would eventually come online - haphazardly, no doubt some time later after more important and real matters were settled - to inform you all of my demise would not dredge up old arguments in which I was involved, nor would they defend minutiae of my actions that they would scarcely understand. They would probably not consistently refer to me as Kandarin. They would also not sound exactly like me.

I'm familiar with the faked-death game and know what to look for. I've seen plenty of people do it, as well as a few reports of genuine deaths (which are quite different). Tweedy, your belief that we would buy this on the word of such a shallow and superficial handle is almost as pitiful as the act itself.

If you had any doubt you would not have replied, you would just have muttered that I was a nutter trying to make people believe that someone had kicked the bucket. Well, let me convince you once and for all, now read my lips....Tweedy is dead. Ok?

Okay, let's fix this. Let's pretend for a moment Tweedy is dead. Why would he (a) give you the password and user info to his account and why (b) would you use something like this to harm the reputation of your 'friend', especially when your posts are similar?

I'd give up while you're ahead, to be honest.

For you to be in a region famed for it's role-play, you are pretty naive Todd McCloud, to be honest! Anyway, no hard feelings - so long as one is prepared to take as much as they give, and vice-versa. You won't be troubled with my visits again.

For someone who preaches about roleplaying you aren't very good at it.
