Either he actually is October3 and Katganistan will soon have another notch in her Mod Olympics belt or he really is "just a friend". Either way, that "posting pics on behalf of the poor ostracized bugger" thing is getting annoying.

(the photobucket is purportedly October3's, according to these (http://forums1.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12570932&postcount=495) posts (http://forums1.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12574311&postcount=604) from a while ago in the "Whatcha look like thread".)

Yeah, it was him. He's gone again.

FYI, anyone who responds to his outside requests to 'post on his behalf' since he can't ... will wish they hadn't. Two players who should have known better now have Final Warnings on their nations. That's me being lenient, by the way. Next time, we'll just assume you're him and delete you outright.

I didn't mean to get Hunter S Thompsonia and Johnny B Goode in trouble. >.< After all, they posted the pics like two weeks ago and none of us cared enough to even report it here. I was just annoyed by October3's latest incarnation and his stupid bragging with the photobucket album. :/

I know it's not a good idea to express anger at old regulars with my postcount, but dammit, WYTYG, you just put my ass in a sling.

Let's do be completely clear: Helping someone "get around" posting rules puts one in a sling without anyone else's assistance.

When someone contacts you stating "The mods won't let me post, so you post for me," don't you think you ought to consider whether the mods might actually have a reason for blocking the idiot?

You put your own ass in the sling, Johnny, and you earned a warning for being dumb enough to fall for this jerk's line. Perhaps next time you'll apply a bit of common sense before agreeing to help someone break the rules. It's a cheap lesson, when you come right down to it.

Ah, I see you posted here while I was replying to your post in the Photography thread.

I know it's not a good idea to express anger at old regulars with my postcount, but dammit, WYTYG, you just put my ass in a sling.Hm, I'm contrite but I'm certainly not THAT contrite.

I already said I didn't mean to get you and Thompsonia in trouble, my OP here refers to October3's latest persona and that ongoing meme of the "friend's photobucket album".

Lots of people noticed the posting in the "Watcha look like" thread back then and nobody, including me, reported you guys even though most everybody was looking on going "uh... do they really want to be doing that? If the mods see that, there will be trouble". But nobody cared enough,so eh.

I only put the reference to those posts in my OP here because it was the only connection from Egghiccups to October3 I had: the posting of the same photobucket album. I certainly didn't think you guys would even get so much as a warning. So I'm sorry about that but I certainly did not "put your ass in a sling". You posted the pics, not me.

Oh, and what the hell is up with that talk about how "it's not a good idea to express anger at old regulars with my postcount"? I didn't know we were awarded superpowers for the mere act of staying around.

True that.

Owned twice in the same day. Even by my standards that's bad.

I got some.

I have the power not to troll.

I have the power not to flame.

I have the power not to post rule breaking links and images........

oh, wait, I always had that, never mind.

Excuse me, what?

I have nothing to do with this, keep my name out of it.
