***The State of Survivor Planet***

[Gonzo]

Well guys, Douchebaggery has ensued.

Due to last nights stupidity between Joey and Pr, Joey has been banned a few days and he has decided to take a long-term vacation. (He sent a pm to Pr stating he was done).

With this change, I'll be taking over the game. I plan on making a few changes. The 1st of which will be the promotion of Lumpy to a judge/assistant. I feel as though the game would be a little more enjoyable if the two execs can confer as much as she and I can each day.

I'm also going to take suggestions for games. If you guys would like to see something, please post it here or pm me.
I'll try to keep up as much as possible even though I have a lot of stuff going on right now. Lump is on here all the time as well so we should always have exec coverage.
Thanks guys. I'll keep you all updated.


UPDATE:
According to Joey, he's not going anywhere. disregard the former bullshit.

She could really use it. Can I set you up an appointment?

Right now I'm worried about the affect something I typed down is going to have on pr's ability to share on a website where he has friends who actually care about him. A place where he can maybe escape living hell and have a laugh sober. He should not have to worry about assholes like me throwing very touchy and personal subjects in his face. I can imagine, he's sitting there exchanging a laugh with me, browsing the forum having a good time, maybe peaking at porn in another browser, and suddenly some stupid kid who can't even stay out of jail and take care of his own kids throws reality right back in his lap. It wasn't funny.

That's not harsh. That's real talk. It's a damn fine start. Now that said, you can't appreciate anything you don't care about. So, I'm going to move on down the road. If you don't give a shit what I think, there is no point in me thinking about it anymore.

No bitterness. Best of luck to you, and I'm sure you can understand why I'm out. Gonzo, Phil, whoever is pulling the strings with you can do it from here on out. You won't hear from me on any of it ever again.

I don't even remember that and it seems pretty harsh from a moderator standpoint. There was a time when most the people on this site treated one another with respect and dignity. I don't necessarily pine for those days because that's unrealistic but if somebody has been brave enough to share a personal issue with friends on the site, I'll put a ban-hammer down on anybody who wants to use that as a baseball bat with which to beat them. There's a line of decency - even on the internet.

Since I've returned to this board quite a few people have lent me a hand and offered advice and help through what I'm going through, you being one of them. And all I do is shit on people. I say it's the internet and it doesn't matter but it does. I feel like I had a friendship with you through this site, and friends shouldn't kick friends in the balls like that. Friends should care for each others' balls. Look out for their sack.

I need to learn to not be hurtful to other people in RL and on here. I've really let myself become a douchebag and it's ugly to read through some of my comments. Really ugly.

You can say these are just words and I do not mean them, and that's fine. Actions Actions Actions, and I don't act right.

I really do think it's a blessing that you are adopting. I do not know the details between the problems you and your wife have had conceiving children, and I had no right to go there. Especially given how horrible of a father I've been to my own blood. Just talking to you through here and on FB I know you would make an excellent parent.

I hereby request from Gonzo a 1 month ban. Maybe I need it again to try once more to grow the **** up. I need to stop getting carried away. When I return from this ban I will continue with this game, I'm having alot of fun running it. It's been great. Gonzo I hope you don't mind taking over the reigns for a month.

Pr - I really do hope eventually you forgive me and won't beat my ass if we meet up at a game one day. If you did it's understood, however.

*Joey

I'm not gonna beat your ass and hopefully we can meet at a game one day and hang w/no problems. I accept the apology Joey. I want to believe the best in people and you are no different. That doesn't mean things are instantly back to the way they were 3 days ago but at least we now have a place to start and hopefully get back there.

You have a ton of potential not only as a poster but also as a father and a fellow human being. You are funny, amiable, and self deprecating which are 3 of my favorite personality traits in other people. If you could get the filter between your brain and your mouth/fingers sorted... you could be stellar. I don't think I need to tell you how badly what you said hurt and I'm not one to get my feelings hurt easily because I generally expect people to assholes. I just didn't expect that from you because I thought we had developed a friendship and I expected you to look out for my sack instead of finding my greatest weakness and letting loose with both barrels. That doesn't mean you can't take shots at me or that you have to handle me with kid gloves either... I want you to be you.

I also want to apologize to you. When I read your comments I simply saw red and retaliated in kind and I was wrong for that. I should have taken the high road but I did not. Friends disagree, friends fight, and friends get over it and go back to being friends. I hope we can get past this and get back on track.

I'd like to thank the two MEN in here for overcoming an awful situation and finding a way to be mature about it. Well done gentlemen. I hope this thing can become a roadmap for other spats to be resolved. You both came from rock bottom and flipped it 180. First class.

Seriously. You've both exceeded my expectations by a wide margin. I don't throw around accolades for no reason.

[Lumpy]

That is all. Back to work...

That said, my situation comes from bad choices, yours comes from a really bad hand dealt in the game of life. That's ten times worse IMO. Kurt is lucky it was Phil that did it, I would've put the hammer down long term.

And Kurt, you know, I've always liked you. But you've been making it really ****ing hard lately. I do my best to understand your own circumstances, and the shoes you walk in every day. However, it's getting dark, and thick in those woods. Do something to find the road again. It's hard to get there, but a helluva lot easier once you do. I hope you're picking up what I'm laying down.

This has zero to do with your legal, or personal life. It has everything to do with the brain inside your head, and the way you look at things, and the attention you need that apparently you, nor no one in your life can satisfy. Stinkin thinkin is what my Dad used to call it. Take it for what it is. I'm only laying it down because I give a shit about you. If you want to dump all over that, have at it.

I'm not going to Ban you Joey...

An FYI:
When I started as a Mod here a couple months ago, you had the whole Zach situation going on. The mods were ready to just give up on you. As you know, I decided to take an interest in you and try to keep you in check. I've shared several PM's with you and up to this point, you've done pretty well. However, it seems like every few months you shit yourself and we go through this all over again.

Would you say shit like this to people IRL? If the answer is yes, then I'm surprised you've made it into your twenties. I seriously doubt you would say shit like that to Pr's face, though. I know you have the social skills available to you, you just need to utilize them all the time. Not 85% of the time, (like you have been doing over the last year).

This is also the reason why I pushed you to get your game started and why I've been helping out.

This game has forced you to interact with a large populace of regulars on this site. They bitch and whine about judgments and rules and you're forced to get along with them.
I figured it would repair some of your relationships etc.

I'll run the game if you want to take a break, let me know.



Also, to the contestants:

There are no new judges...

Billay is just ****ing with you and I won't need Lumpy's help, (unless Joey is taking some time off).

[Bugeater]

I have to say I was a little disappointed with Joey IRL. I figured he'd be saying all kinds of outrageous stuff all the time but he's actually pretty quiet.

I see how you feel.

I'll beat both of your asses if you ever try to talk to me in person.
