Darekill, Master Zen, Shiber, Theseus, Tiberus, Trip.

I'm open to suggestions to change the exact wording of this petition; we'd need to re-sign anyone who has signed prior to the change, but since this is an active community this won't pose much trouble.
I'm not sure whether this will have any effect or not, but I hope that this thread will serve as a reminder to us all of what we came here for.

So, who wants to sign?

Well, we do sound like a community of whiny little *****es, it's true.

But I doubt your petition will change anything, Shiber.

Of course, I support it in principle. Then somebody makes a post that irritates me, and the next thing you know, I jump into the fray.

Signing the petition doesn't mean that you can't let your emotions take over you at times. After all, we are all human.
I haven't started this to fight what is an integral part of human nature; I'm no Don Kihote (sp?). But if one miserable mudfest is prevented thanks to this, then I've done my part.
Now who wants to join?

Yes, of course... I could say that for myself as well... the purpose of this petition as I understand it is... ah! ...that by signing it, you a priori agree that should you allow yourself to "jump into the fray", others are perfectly free and right to start bickering/whining about your bickering/whining.

And... if it is not 100% obvious... - yes, I support the petition.

I support the petition.

I just hope that unlike bickering and whining, liqueuring and wining doesn't count as unsportive behaviour

I think it's more of a goodwill agreement. Kind of like how the UN works.

Ghengis, I didn't see any sort of enforcement even being discussed, let alone "permabanning."

It's not going to really do much, but I understand the reason he's trying.

Did I mention yet that my real nick is AAAShiber?
Because I used to operate an AAA station back in Britain in WWII. I was enlisted as a kid, y'know. I never got over the scars completely...
I still hear them screaming at nights... "Ethel, help me! Ethel, please!! Ethelllll....."

No, they were calling to someone else

Well i sign it. But I doubt that it'll be of any use.
Mind you, if i weep for any Ansar we might loose this is not whining! It is a moan about the unrighteosness of those infidels that dare to opse us. Hell, you are suposed to fall like all the lux citys at the very sight of them. You shouldn't harm them.....

We are dnfidels, damnit, not infidels!!
This is not whining either

Seriously, noone would mind if you "mourned the loss of your fallen warriors". On the contrary, it's role-playing and it's fun, and it's the kind of thing that I'm trying to encourage.
In other words, noone is going to blame you for littering Apolyton with your stupid obituaries.

I think it's all implicit isn't it? I LOOOOVE the trash-talking but don't hold anyone against it.

Sign me up (if only as an excuse to continue trash-talking even more)

What about quoting 1776? Does that mean permabanning?

Uh-oh...
