I am sure quite a few of you got a little present in your inbox this morning. I am reading it as I write this and just so you know, I am literally shaking with anger. For those of you who didn't get the Email, BS basically ruined the entire story that Ridley and I created. This is inexcusable and it is deplorable. BS did this in retaliation to being kicked out of said storyline earlier by Ridley after apparently being a jackass toward Ridley. BS has been a problem for many months and we have tried our best to help him in whatever way we could. We tried to solve the spat between him and Ridley......BS decieved us into believing that he had moved on and then pulled this little stunt. As a moderator I can say that I am disgusted with his actions and see no reason for him to continue to be in ACW. Where ever Ridley wants to go from here is completely justifiable and I realize there is nothing that I can do now to make this right. I would like to close this spot in demanding that BS be either suspended or banned as soon as possible.
Now on a personal note to BS,
Words cannot describe how much I am disappointed in you and how much I hate you now. I've always considered you a friend. I've known you for about a year now and in that time I have stood by you. I thought you were a decent writer and that you were a good person. I stood up for you when nobody else would and I have saved your job on more than one occasion. I take this as a very personal stab against me. You have not only angered me, but you have also greatly burdened our hardworking moderators....Ginger....AK....Latino.....Wyvern.....and Myself. To lie to me and then to betray my trust like that is something I cannot forgive. If I wasn't so involved in this I would ban you myself right now. Consider our friendship over. So, with that being said, I apologize to the people whose storylines were ruined by BS' tantrum and I promise that he will be punished accordingly.

I never recieved a copy of this email, but as a mod I was able to read the entire text on the mod boards when Rose posted it there.
I truly have no words to describe quite how I feel at seeing this.
I cannot offer any thoughts as to who did what to whom, or how we came to this situation. All I know for sure was that there was a "joint" storyline created, and that at some point relations between Blade and other parties became irreperably damaged. I do not know who came up with which parts or who "owns" what, as I have only the testimony from those directly involved to go on.
All I know for sure is that Latino, Rose and I bent over backwards to try and make sure that everyone involved would be able to do what their characters required, and to ensure that people's storylines could proceed without undue modification except where absolutely necessary. At no point would we have allowed abusive, inappropriate or unauthorised usage of anyone's character to take place.
This, evidently, is how Blade has chosen to "reply" to our efforts.
I could sit here and type out how disappointed I am, how let down I feel by someone whom I liked a great deal and whom I thought was far, far above such behaviour...... but I won't, because this very action proves to me, Blade, that you don't give a toss about any of it, or about any of the people who have worked their arses off in this fed. I asked you, even pleaded with you on one occasion, to let this all go and allow us to concentrate on your own story..... but no.
So anyway, I have a PPV to write and I've already wasted enough of my time with this. I hope that you enjoyed writing that message, and "proving your point", since it's destroyed pretty much all the respect that I had for you until now.
That's all there is to it.

There really isn't an excuse, not even frustration nor anger, for doing a thing like this. Blade... I've tried to not get angry by you for a long time here in the ACW, amid the never-ending rants about your storylines and such, to the frequent storyline "ideas" that involved me jobbing away a title I've actually worked for. It pisses me off to an extent that is undescribable when knowing my working schedule, I find extra time to put in segments that develop a story. A story I help create, that the community helps create here in the ACW. This aspect of community is what the ACW was built upon, if I'm not mistaken. What you did, compromises the very element that makes the ACW run.
So what? You're kicked out of a storyline by Ridley. I'm not jumping to his defense here, but I know well from talking to him, the only way to get on his bad side (like all human beings) is if you:
- Accidentally say something really out of place, emphasis on accident (ex. Davey)
- Or just bother him about something over and over, even knowing that he may be in a bad mood. (ex....oh wait, that's YOU!)
I personally want to throw aside my anger and try to be nice about this, but I just can't. You've spoiled many people's hard work, and honestly, I'm not as affected by the storyline as much as you think. However now, the people who've poured handfuls of time, precious time, into building a story, it's all thrown away, thanks to you "Mr.Wrestlezone-wannabe". Do yourself a favor, and get out of here. I'm sure that no one really wants to work with someone so vindictive.

Wow, it's some argument.
I don't know, I would like Blade to stay, but this just seems like he's gone a bit too far...
In my opinion, he should be suspended, because even tho what he did is wrong, I'd rather he stayed at the fed

This board is for people to post upon when they have a problem or take issue with anything that someone has done in the fed. What you see above are expressions of the feelings of the individuals who posted.
Deliberately spoiling storylines is not acceptable under the rules of the fed. Any punishment Blade recieves for his actions will be decided by the mods in reference to this infringement, and this infringement only; this will be done once we have all purged ourselves of the strong emotional reactions to what has happened, of which the posts above are a part of the process.
It should be noted that revealing several months' worth of storyline for several people is a serious issue, which we cannot take lightly. However Blade is not "banned" or anything like that at the moment, and any actions the mods collectively agree on will be annouced publically before any period of suspension etc. begins.

This ticks me off. I know that Blade has always had a bit of a temper, but he did, indeed go too far with this. I know that I have several storylines under wraps right now, and if someone suddenly revealed them, I would not be pleased, to say the least. People invest trust in others for a reason. If that trust can not upheld, there is a major problem. I just wonder what would lead to someone deliberatly ruining others work like this. Hopefully Rose can salvage that aformentioned storyline, and things can work out on that end.
As for Blade, I've never had a problem with him before, but this really ticks me off. He has a great deal of potential, and I enjoy his writing and his character, but this at the very least warrents a suspension.

Okay this is where Davey comes along and pisses off everyone. I am not justifying Blades actions but as a fellow person on Ridley's bad side I understand him. There has been times where I made a huge effort to extend an apology to Ridley for what ever it was that I did. Which frankly I still have no Idea what I did. Everytime I have attempted to apologize he acted like a complete immature asshole on every occasion. Th biggest example of this is below.
It was after our first spat. I tried to say I was sorry via a pm in the chat. So what does Ridley do. After I had said everything to him privatley he told everyone in the chat what I was saying to him in an effort to embarass me. From that point various people I will not name names decided it would be funny to laugh at me and my effort of diplomacy.
Again I am not in any way justifying what Blade did. I just understand. I feel that Ridley has done just as much if not more to be an asshole as Blade has. I have never felt disrespected by Blade at any point while being in the ACW. Ridley on the other hand has disrespected everyone here on serveral occasions with things like "welcome to the land of retards" that he posted in the Canadian Dragons profile but now it is gone as The Canadian Dragon had to post a new profile. Me and Blade have had a disagreement or two regurading our storyline that has been going on since I arrived here basically. Altough I have had troubles with him I have always been able to compromise with him to something we both can agree on. From what I have seen their is abselutly NO compromise involved with Ridely.
Again I am in no way justifying Blade's actions but I understand. Maybe he could of thought of another way to bring up this situation but frankly I think just about anything else would have gone unanswered. Now I hope we do not treat this like we treated the Bob issue. One thing I believe in is Loyalty. Now I am not saying Blade should go un punished but he should not be banned.
Now that I have said my peace I can't see to many of you agreeing with me. So unleash the Backlash.

He didn't kill your mama.

Well we have decided to take a day to relax a bit and let the general first reactions of what was done by Blade sort of cool off. Then as mods we will talk it over and decide what we feel should be done. We will take into effect both sides of the issue not just Blade's and see what is at the most fair.

Poor Blade. He goes to all this trouble, and I'd already drastically changed the entire thing now that he was out of it. Ah well, points for trying.
Extra points for Davey managing to find a way to grind the anti-Ridley axe, as he always does.

Marvel, I haven't even acknowledged your EXISTENCE for the past two months or so. You're the one who keeps bringing things back up.
And Blade, since I KNOW you're going to come back here and read this, desperate to see if you've finally managed to get a reaction out of me, I congratulate you. You have.
It's mirth. Tons and tons of it. I can't help but grin at you screwing yourself over by revealing the details of something that'd already been revamped to the point that you wouldn't even recognize it anymore.
Because did you SERIOUSLY think I wouldn't change the whole thing once you were out of it? I KNEW you'd do this. You're a snake, and an underhanded one at that, and so did you think I DIDN'T know because you were excluded from *gasp* a fantasy wrestling storyline on the Internet (which is the closest thing you have to friends, because as you used to bitch to me about every night, NOBODY in real life likes you), you'd try to do something like this?
So it'd already been drastically altered as early as TWO DAYS after you were removed from it. Sorry to disappoint you. Enjoy your banning/suspension/whatever the mods decide to give you, because once again, I've got the last laugh.
