2 Questions about something... could someone explain?

Post by For Valor »

1) There's something about embezzlement and Frank posted something over at dumpshock. I'd read up on it, but I only went through the first page of responses and I was too confused to continue with the next four bazillion.

So what's that all about? Did Frank say something about CGL?

2) Also, dandwiki v. dungeons wikia. I hear something about a guy named GD (Green Dragon..?) and Hooper, and apparently people left because he was a jackass or something.

So what's THAT all about?

just my 2 questions.

I run the Dungeons and Dragons Wiki, which can be found at http://dungeons.wikia.com . We're actually having our one-year anniversary in a year.

I don't talk about the past very much, but if you really want the story I can tell it.

1) The CEO of CGL embezzled tons of money from the company without knowledge or permission of the other shareholders. He's also engaged in multiple areas of financial shadiness. Frank has been getting info leaked to him, and he's the one who (apparently) broke the news first and kicked it all off. Since then, CGL's creditors have gotten together and are suing CGL. Also, many employees quit.

2) That's more or less it. Green Dragon's name, by right, should be the Seagull. He'd used to swoop in, make a lot of noise, crap over everything, and then leave. Then, he decides to swoop in, make a lot of noise, crap over everything, and stay, and this led to an intolerable situation. Also, Hooper is the only person who can move me to nerdrage. He does incredibly condescending passive-aggressive better-than-thou shit, and Green Dragon lets him. I keep an eye on the D&D wiki to make sure the Tomes aren't fucked with, and otherwise try not to interact with it too much. Just mentioning the new wiki on the old wiki is apparently 'soliciting'. Even 'implicit soliciting'.

Also, Surgo, don't you mean 'one-year anniversary in a month or two'? You said "Our one-year anniversary in a year."
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

oh. OK then...

1 sounds awesome.

2 kinda blows... D&D Wiki was definitely my first place for D&D homebrew (and DragonChild was the biggest flamer I knew... I feel so old). Sad that it sucks so much. Is that all there is to the story?

Not hardly. But it's the gist. Green Dragon started banning admins over nothing, most of them left. He's since been ignoring his own rules when he sees fit, and keeps wanking to "logic" and has long nonsensical arguments over bullshit.

I just want to clarify, that is totally not true about me. I need to dispel these rumors.

I am not gay.

I do, however, get angry at people over the internet and call them nasty names. ;)

That's okay. While flame behavior is associated with being gay, the correlation is not complete.

OHMYGODDRAGONCHILDITHOUGHTYOUWEREDEAD!!!!

You are... awesome.

I've got to say, the fact that you actually took the time to hate on my pathetic excuse for a homebrew race is why I'm here today. Had I not gotten any criticism for my work, I would have been turned off D&D for another year or two.

I pay my respects to you.

And while we're talking about it, I'm not gay either. So stfu.
