[:1]nvm|||Well, you had it coming.|||Considering I have been supporting them since day 1, it's really quite sad.|||well if be banned u, u probably got reported a few times for either trolling or bad behavior. if u think ur being unjustly punished them PM him or Kryo and talk to them about what u did.



don't come on here and troll ur anger away cause no one cares|||ScottishAlien|||Trolling the forum is not supporting.|||Where was I trolling?|||I think Spooky might have accidentally mistaken you for another player/poster.



I don't know why they would ban you. I always enjoyed your posts even if we have different opinions on some topics... |||Wait, thought you were someone else. Maybe just some kind of mistake?|||Oh, hehe, I'm not Foreshadowed. I'm Shadow, formerly _Shadow.|||Well, if no explanation was ever given, just contact support@stardock.com to clear it up :).|||Clearly you must've beat him in a pantheon match.|||Spooky|||It would suck if they banned you because they thought you were foreshadowed. There's no reason you should have been banned.



Do you want me to post something on the forums about it?|||I think this is the thread of doom:



http://forums.demigodthegame.com/359540/get;2307370|||Ow, I think Shadow is actually right here... We need team automatch. I don't understand how he can not want it: it's cheap and it caters to a lot more people than a few 100 guys. Also; the competive players are "worth" more because they keep the game going longer, which in turn generates revenue. Please GPG, it's an very simple change.|||Ah crap, Frog tends to take stuff like that personal - as a few of the old SupCom players have already found out unfortunately. And he especially despises any comparison with GPGnet.



In my opinion your post contains nothing you should be banned for but if Frogboy held the hammer it's unlikely they will change their mind.



But maybe a friendly PM to Frogboy or Kryo can clear the matter up? Good luck, I hope you can get through to them!|||I can't PM. I don't mind someone posting something about it, but I'm not really looking to troll them. I'm pissed off about where things are right now, but outright trolling just closes ears and minds.|||True. And if you are admin/mod you usually can't take back a ban anyway because it would undermine your authority. Maybe if you wait a little bit. Or you stick with us here. The forum here works faster, better and is more reliable anyway.



Would be nice to have more discussions about balance and game mechanics here. There are too many blind folowers on the SD forum and obviously you are not allowed to speak your mind freely anymore.|||A PM warning from an admin should always come before a ban. This is how every well-crafted forum community operates. You were a tad bit curt, Shadow, but that's hardly a reason for banning you.



Shadow, before I post on SD forums, were reasons given for your banishment? Or were you banned without notice?|||No PM was received, no reasons given. After Frogboy said he doesn't want me there I was unable to make anymore posts. Not much of a leap to guess what happened :)|||Here's what I posted:



"



Recently, _Shadow was banned. He is one of the most committed players in Demigod, and he helps beginners quite a bit. He does not troll. He is snarky at times, but to ban him without a warning is bad forum policy. I'm a moderator of another gaming community, and our policy is warn-kick-ban. He is one of the most dedicated players in demigod, and we need more people that play the game as much as he does.







I don't know who to ask about this, so I'm posting it publicly.

It should sound better coming from me, as I am not a part of your clan and have never played a game with you. |||I'm honestly touched.|||it's ok Shadow, we've now graduated from the training wheels game to one that is more enjoyable and challenging. =D|||Maybe it was your GPGnet statement. Seriously, stop suggesting that it would have been better to use GPGnet. It wouldn't have been better at all. Sure, GPGnet gets the job done for SupCom/FA, but that's it. Apart from that it's just a buggy, old, ugly unstable application on which basis nothing should be built up any more. Fixing or extending GPGnet would not be worth the effort, it would be better to build something from scratch.



Which is done with Impulse. The ImpulseReactor provides a far better connection facilitation than GPGnet does, especially for the Moho engine and in the future it will be extended with much more features. And Impulse is and will be used by other games as well.
