Monte Carlo is being griefed, Darn you!

13-12-2003, 19:01
I am being isolated there, and when I invite some friends over to talk, I get ejected again. They are griefing, but they simply have found a way to griefe me and fool the mods at the same time. My next post will be where the y state that the intend to humiliate me. I need a beeter mod rule. I don't want to be ignored there. I am a person too, you know?! :x

Received: 11 hours ago A griefer delegate has the right to eject a native of the region like you as long as it doesn't ban you and gives you back the password. As you have returned to the region and are not on the banned list, this complaint is closed.

The Anti-Corinthe Inquisition of Fisz
Received: 1 day ago HideOut, I don't like you. And since the rules permit me to eject a native for strategical matters and unbanning it afterwards, I will do so, for the simple strategy of humiliation.

Do NEVER humiliate the Atlantic Alliance and it's members, as you have done in the past, CORINTHE.

My personal understanding of the rules: Invaders are allowed to make a few TACTICAL ejects of natives to remain in power. To repeatedly eject a native for the sole purpose of causing grief is... griefing! (Duh!)

Anyway, I'm no mod, so perhaps they feel differently about it. Or maybe they still need to get to your complaint of repetitive non-tactical (griefing) ejections. You DID file that as a complaint, did you not?

Actually, I do appreciate this being posted here because it clarifies what is or is not allowed by invaders. At least, if a Mod would provide a clarification it would be.

A complaint should be filed using the getting help page. This does not preclude there being a topic on this as well to discuss what is happening. As far as I know there is no exact ruling to cover this situation, so a mod ruling on this would be uncertain.

Actually, Ballotonia, you're incorrect.

Making a few tactical ejections - whether UN or not (and Corinthe, everyone knows you, and to be honest, if I invaded a region, I would be sure to tactically eject any nation of yours - take it as a compliment :wink:) - is most definately not illegal. How else are invaders to hold a conquered region? Even ejecting the same nation time and again is not griefing because you continue to put yourself in the same position. You must understand, when you move back into the region, you are opening yourself up to being ejected again.

It does not constitute griefing in this case. Sorry.



And, once again:

To everyone else who feels it necessary to speculate on Mod rulings, please dont. If you're not a GM, please dont post your opinions on matters requiring a GM response. Posting factual evidence is OK, posting opinions is not.

YOU continue to allow yourself to be ejected...it's not his fault you keep coming back. If you're going to open yourself up to continued ejection, it's not griefing.

If he were doing so with many, many other nations, that'd be one thing. He's doing so with one. Hardly grieifng in my opinion.


Want to move back into your region? I'd suggest either using a puppet, or having some friends assist you in dethroning the new delegate.

Neutered Sputniks
13-12-2003, 20:25
This has nothing to do with who's reporting what, or who's involved.

This has to do with an invader employing a legal tactic, and you giving him opportunity to do what you're complaining he's doing. If you dont like what's going on in this region, YOU do something about it. It's not against the rules, and thus, not the Mod's responsibility to do intervene.

It is a way of keeping certain disruptive natives of the region from being disruptive for a period of time.

Ok... Not a ruling I was expecting. So Fisz can basically deny her normal access to her own region by continuously ejecting her again and again. And when she finally gives up and there's one less native in the region, can he then proceed to follow the same strategy with the next native?

Did you read this part?

Received: 1 day ago
HideOut, I don't like you. And since the rules permit me to eject a native for strategical matters and unbanning it afterwards, I will do so, for the simple strategy of humiliation.

Do NEVER humiliate the Atlantic Alliance and it's members, as you have done in the past, CORINTHE.

I don't see how this qualifies as a tactical ejection. It serves no purpose other than to grief the native in question. It's actually done with that specific purpose in mind.


Also, if I'm personally interested in a ruling or clarification thereof, and I wouldn't be allowed to post in the thread for anything other than providing information, does this mean I should start a new thread for what is essentially the same topic? Seems silly to me to do so, but I'll gladly do so if you wish.

So this is what that ruling comes down to: two people endlessly repeating steps until one of them gives up doing something. At least in chess there's a rule to prevent this from ruining a game.

Likewise: Fisz is spamming the regional happenings as well, ejecting HideOut knowing fuill well she'll return.

FYI: In Chess the rule is that whomever started the loop must break it (after three loops maximum).

Also: Each step in this loop causes Fisz to put three entries on the Regional Happenings, and HideOut one...

He's right, isn't he? At least, to my opinion. I think his reasoning makes sence.

Your friend Crazy Girl has 150 puppets, and I had to ban them one after the other until I reported her.

You came to the region with a nation called "Corinthe for Delegate" with a motto "Endorse Corinthe, Unendorse Fisz".

You do not know the rules, yet you consider yourself as always right.

THEREFORE you shall be silenced by force. I will unban you sooner or later, but this will happen again if you give me a hard time.

Wrong, that's an old nation of mine. I once created it when Corinthe ran for delegacy in the pacific. Now, I recycled it, and I replaced "Franco" in the motto by "Fisz". I hope that isn't forbidden, is it? Otherwise,i'll change it.. By the way, my nation didn't do anything;

And I'll reply to the inquiry by stating that I was attempting to allow that what you are doing is spam, and you know full well what you're causing.

Quit whining Corinthe.

Darn e-mail didn't work. Some POP3 error :cry: You have always been agains me Neut. I think it's time to stop this game. What you did now was definitely biased. His constantly ejecting was perfectly alright and my returning is called spam. Don't you ever say again that you are not biased. You never liked me, and you were always on my skin. The e-mail was not send to [violet] because of some POP3 error, but in my heart I know you are wrong in this. If you just simply said to him that he had to stop ejecting me, you would have had two happy players. But no, you decided to let your bias take over and let the invaders band the evil native Hideout and keep her on the banlist, because her desperate attempts to stay a native of Monte Carlo ware abviously malicious and should be stopped immideately, so the nice people, who did nothing bad, than only ejecting a native could live in peace, and have a new strategy for the next invasion.

But being unbiased, you decided to punish me. You don't care that I just deperately wanted to return, you simply call it spam. That is a good example to all future invaders. Heck, I learned something too. It is okay to eject natives, just make sure that it looks like spamming, and Neut will say it's okay to keep them on the banlist. You just want me to invade, yes? Or create a new region. Well Monte Carlo has more natives, are you gonna tell them that too? You know darn well, that if I decide to take it back by force, he would simply password the region, or have you forgotten how to stop invasions? Heck no, Hideout is a native, and has the right to return to Monte Carlo!

Well, the big picture is, that you made a 180 on the ruling. I just want to get back to Monte Carlo. I bet that tomorrow I will still be in the RR, and 4 or 5 day from now, I still be in the RR. The return of natives to their home region is completely in the spirit of the game. Having their return barred by a mod is definitely not a rule, and also not in the spirit of the game. That my movements spammed the regional happenings of the RR can be said of Francos also, but again you rule agains the vicim in favour of the ruler! But than again, Hideout is just a puppet right? You showed being biased when you stated that you would do the same if you had Corinthe in your region! I am not a bad girl. I am just very active. I don't grief. I spam very minimum. I don't lie, and don't flame. I came close sometimes, but I am just very emotional about wrong doings.

I made no 180.

I stated that if I were an invader, I wouldnt want you in my region. Mainly because of all your connections. Same goes for any other player with connections to anti-invader invasion groups.

You can attempt to turn this into a personal thing, however, the fact remains that Fisz was ejecting you from the region, as is his perogative. Ejecting one player is hardly griefing, and doing so over and over again is hardly griefing when that same player continues to reperform the same action over and over and over with no rest.

Well technically, as there is no written rule on this kind of thing, Fisz is inside the rules.
You're not allowed to leave a native on the ban list. However, Fisz doesn't want Corinthe in the region because of all her connections, thus he can eject her.
There is also no written rule that forbids the ejectee from returning, so Corinthe can return if she likes. However, there is a rule against flooding the regional happenings list be repeatedly performing an action. So Corinthe should be careful...
Neut isn't saying she can't return, just that she shouldn't just return immediately and repetitively.

When I left this thread earlier this afternoon, there was some dispute over whether HideOut has been banned. I can confirm this now.

Monte Carlo Regional Control (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/page=region_control/region=monte_carlo)

Incidentally:

33 minutes ago: The United States of The Bonny Bonny Banks departed this region for The Guardian Patriot Alliance
35 minutes ago: The United States of The Bonny Bonny Banks arrived from The Guardian Patriot Alliance.
37 minutes ago: The United States of The Bonny Bonny Banks departed this region for The Guardian Patriot Alliance
39 minutes ago: The United States of The Bonny Bonny Banks arrived from The Guardian Patriot Alliance.
40 minutes ago: The United States of The Bonny Bonny Banks departed this region for The Guardian Patriot Alliance
41 minutes ago: The United States of The Bonny Bonny Banks arrived from The Guardian Patriot Alliance.
41 minutes ago: The United States of The Bonny Bonny Banks departed this region for The Guardian Patriot Alliance

42 minutes ago: The United States of The Bonny Bonny Banks departed this region for The Guardian Patriot Alliance

I am banned. That is not a fair action after an invasion. If he would just have let me be, he probably would have been ejected by me again, but that's all within the rules. I was just trying to get into my own region.

And being biased, it never came up in your head that there was the unending ejections, knowing that Hideout would come back anyway, as she has learned was the right thing to do. It never came in your head that maybe there was a compromise possible, in which both sides could be happy. You are able to twist rules, but you are not able to make compromises!

He'll probably (80% chance) put another mate on the place, and nothing will change for me. As soon as I say something, they will eject me, claiming to be native also and that I was spamming.

14-12-2003, 04:15
Actually, Ballotonia, you're incorrect.

Making a few tactical ejections - whether UN or not (and Corinthe, everyone knows you, and to be honest, if I invaded a region, I would be sure to tactically eject any nation of yours - take it as a compliment :wink:) - is most definately not illegal. How else are invaders to hold a conquered region? Even ejecting the same nation time and again is not griefing because you continue to put yourself in the same position. You must understand, when you move back into the region, you are opening yourself up to being ejected again.

It does not constitute griefing in this case. Sorry.



And, once again:

To everyone else who feels it necessary to speculate on Mod rulings, please dont. If you're not a GM, please dont post your opinions on matters requiring a GM response. Posting factual evidence is OK, posting opinions is not.[emphasis added by me]

I was just wondering what all "Tactical Ejection" covers. I was always under the impression that it was to clear the endorsements from opposing potential delegates. If it can cover other things, then why aren't tactical bans allowed? The only thing that is changed by a nation leaving a region and coming back are that all it's endorsements are lost, so there is not really a tactical reason to eject a non-UN nation.

Also, it seems to me that the region for corinthe's puppet's ejection was "You are corinthe's puppet." Maybe I missed something, but is there another tactical reason for her ejection?

She was also very disruptive in the region civil hq before being banned.

If I were invading a region, I also would not want Corinthe in the region. Not because of her connections, because I laugh at her friends. But because she's friggin relentless.
14-12-2003, 05:14
I want to make it clear that I stated that in this instance, there are somewhat extenuating circumstances - namely the unending moving of Hideout back to the region, knowing it would be kicked.
If Hideout were to stay out of the region for a length of time, then return, how long would this length of time have to be in order for an ejection to become unacceptable (assuming that Hideout doesn't provoke ejection in any manner beyond returning to the region, and that it is unbanned immediately afterward)? A one hour gap? Three hours? Six? Twelve? 24? Never?

If the answer is a finite length of time, then how is that any different to leaving the nation banned for that length of time after the first ejection? If the answer is never, doesn't that effectively negate the rule against permanently banning natives? A ruling against Hideout would seem to set a precedent which would allow what is effectively exclusion of specific natives from a region for a certain period of time, which would appear to conflict with "natives must be free to come and go as they please".

While I am generally in favour of "don't complain, take it back with a counter-invasion", I think that applying an "invaders can't ban natives, as long as those natives are willing to stay out anyway" ruling is going too far.
14-12-2003, 05:25
Corinthe is a special case. Usually invaders must unban the ejectees automatically. But this is a special case, so there is a special treatment.
Neutered Sputniks
14-12-2003, 06:08
Corinthe was being disruptive before her ejection. She then returned and was immediately ejected. The precedent I'm attempting to set is that natives can't grief the invaders - what Corinthe was doing would be considered griefing if the shoe were on the other foot, would it not?

The idea behind the "natives cannot remain banned" ruling was to allow natives a chance to retake their region from the invaders - not to allow natives to do as Corinthe has done.

There's a fine line here, and this is an unusual circumstance. Had Corinthe instead taken it upon herself to rally her friends and retake her region, rather than come whining to the mods, attempting to have the Mods intervene to get rid of a problem she didnt want to have to deal with herself, the ruling here might have been different.

Remember, every ruling is subjective, and not exactly set in stone. There can be very many different situations that cause those previous rules to become obselete, or to not really apply.

Ultimately, I ruled that Fisz should be allowed to continue to keep Corinthe out of the region because she was stirring up trouble in the Regional Headquarters. Had she been attempting to lead a counter-invasion on the Regional Headquarters, that would be a different story.

14-12-2003, 08:07
My personal understanding of the rules: Invaders are allowed to make a few TACTICAL ejects of natives to remain in power. To repeatedly eject a native for the sole purpose of causing grief is... griefing! (Duh!)

So you would fault the invaders for her continuing to come into a region she is not wanted in? If I understand this correctly, she keeps entering a region she knows she is going to be kicked out of. It sounds like a problem, but not with the invaders. I guess the inverse would be she is actually complaining that she is not kept on the ban list.

Did I read this wrong, this would be beyond wacky.


I won’t post much on the situation (beyond the wacky comment) I feel Neut dealt with succinctly.

Glad, but surprised the dialogue has continued this long, as it seems thus far to be the same issue posted over and over again. Active dialogue can be fair, and encourage sense of community. Just don’t be surprised if nothing changes.

That said, Neut has stated that facts are allowed if not opinions, so I will try to add my voice in hopes that this is simply an misunderstanding in which you simply did not understand things as was said by someone else.

As to being kicked then removed from the ban list, I already stated it would be odd to blame them for your decision to go back. More importantly though, the rules. It is perfectly legal for an invader to kick out a few nations. It is not necessary for you to know their strategy, as you suggest there would be no strategic advantage to kicking out a non-UN nation. They are allowed to kick you out. But they are not allowed to keep you on the ban list.

If you want to petition Max that invaders should be able to kick out natives and keep them on the ban list, go ahead, but you likely want get far. It is to your advantage that you are allowed back in (though not so much to your advantage you keep going back in). If you want to give invaders the power to permanently kick out natives, sure go for it. It will be an uphill battle and will likely be a cause of more grief in the game, but as an invader would it provide us more of an advantage, sure.

Again, Neut, not trying to step on your shoes by posting any opinion, saw your request not to, but you said facts were okay, and simply trying to see if I can help communication by approaching from a different direction…
