I will stay away as long as we gave memebrship to guys like Shady and it seems nobody sees his actions as I see them. Remember he can use the names of others like Impaler and play lame ... and he can call me as a longtimemember NAZI without fearing to be a member of this club. Thats too much ...

In a mega-democracy, like in the States, numbers alone are decisive, since keeping tabs on each citizen is unfeasible; at LowCal, on the other hand, we can weigh each opinion more qualitatively, based on our familiarity with one other and how considered each opinion is.
One difficulty, as Manowar pointed out, is that the poll results are open to the general public; in fact, we have more results than there are actually members, so we know that some votes are illegitimate. It's intended mainly as a rough guide.
The opposition to Shady happens to be very vocal; especially there, where Shades has demonstrated an uncouth American insensitivity to European history and modernity. That doesn't rule out that Shady has silently moved certain hearts and minds, however; and sheer volume must not take the place of uninterested arbitrament and thoughtful discernment.
So you want him a member, even if he abuses every right, he insults every member and he calls others fags, nazis and so on... What club should that be? This was agreat community and still it is ... BUt if you say he's a member and vote for him, by accepting him ... you can surely count me out. This is a full kick in teh face ... Im not the best member or so ... I just thought, I would be more valuable as this guy, who insults all and makes fun of all. If thats your final choice, I say, Im outa here.
That's my last word to that...

Im sorry Impaler, but soemone who calls me a nazi and allways makes jokes out of me, who plays under members names and insult their reputation and allways chatkills, never respects a plead of playing honor ...HAS CERTAINLY NOT MOVED MY HEART AND WILL NEVER!!!
I'm a man who stays with his words and I will not stay in a club, who let's join those people, who NEVER SHOWED THAT THEY CAN PLAY THE OTHER WAY ... HONORABLE AND RESPECT OTHERS.
Unter you said, some of us hadn't liked Nutts in the past. This is true, but as I had seen THAT HE CAN PLAY WITH HONOR AND IS NOT ALLWAYS A PRICK LIKE SHADY, I have accepted that he needs sometimes those lamersessions.
But I never saw Shady doing something other. I even stand up for him and he made jokes out of me. So if you wanna him in the club you must count me out. So, if you don't reconsider your choise you must accept that I lay down my membership and my office.
This is my last comment, because I thought I ow it to you, Impaler. Im deeply upset about Unter. This was always a special thing here and now it seems, that we don't held up our old principles....
Greetings Lord Wintermoon

quote: § 1. Honor shall govern the actions of each Member, the particulars of which are subject to the discretion of each Member and the scrutiny of his Co-members: § 1.1. The Good Fight is at stake, and never the quick frag.
§ 1.2. Let enemies feed freely between matches, as this furthers the Good Fight; but smote your enemy to the ground and insult him should he snack mid-fight. § 1.2.1. Smote your enemy to the ground, should he flee and hide in the weapons zone. § 1.2.1.1. Exception: if there rules a barbarous Murder at the Trough, one may, not only out of convenience but also to retain one's rightful place between engagements, enter the weapons zone. § 1.3. The ground is preferrable to the air. Our example is the Greek Phalynx, impervious turtles of the earth: let rather the enemy take the air in flight. § 1.3.1. A thrown weapon springs from an unstable situation or creates one where there was none before. Throw therefore for a palpable advantage. § 1.3.1.1. If you are caught without a weapon, who can prevent you from a worser death? § 1.4. Never disgrace your manhood so much as to flee. If you find yourself amongst trough-murdering barbarians, or therein limbless, submit while taunting or suicide to deprive the murderer of a frag at your expense.
§ 1.5. A stowed weapon ("sword up") implies spectatorship, and spectators shall be treated as civilians. § 1.5.1. Taunt on your own time, and expect no in-taunt impunity with a naked sword ("sword out").
Can you show me or tell me at which time Shady obey'd our club rules??
