A message: One Week Before December 1st

Recommended Posts

Good evening, Yugioh Card Maker Forums.

 

Allow me first to apologize for this interruption.

 

I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone’s death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this day, one week from December the 1st, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.

 

There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into instant messengers, and moderators with delete buttons will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power.

 

Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this forum, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame?

 

Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

 

I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the moderator team and its leader, YCMaker. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.

 

I sought to end that silence. I questioned the moderation and created a controversy to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. I aim to do the same for December the first. So if you’ve seen nothing, if the crimes of this administration remain unknown to you, then I would suggest you allow the first of December to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one week from tonight, outside these forums, and together we shall give them a first of December that shall never, ever be forgot.

When I was

A young boy,

My father

Took me into the city

To see a marching band.

He said,

"Son,

When you grow up,

Would you be

The saviour of the broken,

The beaten and the damned?"

He said

"Will you

Defeat them,

Your demons,

And all the non believers,

The plans that they have made?

Because one day

I'll leave you,

A phantom

To lead you in the summer,

To join the black parade."

 

When I was

My father, took me into the city

When you grow up,

Will you be the saviour of the broken,

The beaten and the damned?"

 

Sometimes I get the feeling, she's watching over me

And other times I feel like I should go

And through it all, the rise and fall

The bodies in the streets

And when you're gone we want you all to know

 

We'll carry on, We'll carry on

And though you're dead and gone believe me

Your memory will carry on

We'll carry on

And in my heart I can't contain it

The anthem won't explain it

 

A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams

Your misery and hate will kill us all

So paint it black and take it back

Let's shout it loud and clear

Keep fighting to the end we hear the call

To carry on

 

We'll carry on,

And though you're dead and gone believe me

Your memory will carry on

We'll carry on

And though your broken and defeated

Your weary widow marches

On and on we carry through the fears

Oh oh oh

 

Disappointed faces of your peers

Oh oh oh

Take a look at me 'cause I could not care at all

Do or die

You'll never make me

Because the world will never take my heart

Go and try, you'll never break me

We want it all, we want to play this part

I won't explain, or say I'm sorry

I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar

Give a cheer, for all the broken

Listen here, because it's who we are

I'm just a man; I'm not a hero

Just a boy, I wanna sing this song

I'm just a man; I'm not a hero

I

Don't

Care

 

We'll Carry on

We'll carry on

And though you're dead and gone believe me

Your memory will carry on

We'll carry on

And though you're broken and defeated

Your weary widow marches on

Do or die, you'll never make me

Because the world, will never take my heart

Go and try, you'll never break me

We want it all, (we'll carry on)we wanna play this part

Do or die, (we'll carry on)you'll never make me

Because the world, (we'll carry on)will never take my heart

Go and try, (we'll carry,) you'll never break me

We want it all, (we'll carry on) we wanna play this part

 

REMEMBER.

Wow, a little profanity is banworthy now?

 

The ban was for the double accounting and the spamming, but even if this was a completely new member he'd still probably end up banned. =)

Why did you change your name?

 

Are you less emo now?

Wait, there are wars, terror, and disease on the internet? I'm confused. >_>

Considering that only one rule was broken, he'd just get a warn.

 

It doesn't help that this account was found to have the same IP as some of the porn spammers from the attacks, or something along those lines.

I changed my name for reasons. Secretive reasons.

 

And yes, I'm less emo. (Overlooking my massive personality change back in July.)

For me, that last line translates into "I don't really know the nature of the issue, so here's a plausible excuse to shut you up."

It was "matched with" accounts used in the raids; I presume this to mean IP addresses, although it could be something slightly different if this site is able to construct usermaps (which I doubt).

 

Also, why would I be concerned with shutting anybody up? You know that I don't take any of this silly drama at all seriously.

Just so you know, proxies share IP addresses... so they could've easily been using the same proxy.

I think the general response to that would be "that's their problem". >_>

Yes, I should have clarified, his IP address matched with those who participated in the raids. Like Crab already said, the usage of the f-word would not get a permanent ban, but the other evidence that was found would and did.
