View Full Version : A Small Silver Star

I am uncertain as to its worth since it exceptionally rare but its "a small silver star". You can wear it. Engraved on the star are the words, "To Honor And To Serve"
This was hand-given to a select group of players who could communicate on a private net (this function still works) and in pairs you could arrest other players for various crimes. The system was dismantled quite some time ago. I am going to take bids on this here and sell it fairly quickly. Opening bid is 250,000. Will set a buy-out of 5m

CB is 500k to Shaft. And there were rumors of some deputies abusing power, of course these complaints were by people arrested (it took TWO deputies to make an arrest which is why the star brought up a seperate private network to communicate). It was a bit subjective but it did help clean things up a bit and most of the deputies (and there werent many) were well known respected players. I generally just arrested people for disturbing the peace, afterall I do need my peace.

I don't remember ever seeing the system abused. I think the truth is that it was almost never used, but on the rare occasions that it was, it was probably almost always followed up with angry reports and assists. I don't remember ever getting a message that they were shutting it down, but I so seldom used it. I think I just noticed one day that it didn't work anymore.
From a practical perspective, today they either function as a crystal amulet, or they're broken and stopped working in that regard too. Mine just stopped working one day and I never bothered to try to get it fixed, yet Arwen's continues to function as an unlimited crystal amulet.
A few people that are genuinely helpful were made name in blues, but the vast majority were just ass-kissers. Doug was a terrible choice.

So this implies that those griefers who were arrested were the loudspeakers of complaint that ruined the self policing of the good intentioned players?

It wasnt so much that it was abused since I do not think that was the case ( keep in mind a SINGLE person couldnt arrest without another deputy confirming), I think it was more the perception of abuse combined with the distaste of players in the game having control over other players. It also ended up taking up GM time since, as was stated earlier, many arrests would result in report and assists to GM's about why they were falsely arrested or imprisoned.

I don't personally agree with calling anyone a cunt and I do think the use of the term is sexist/misogynistic to the extent that it's attacking someone based on their gender.
But I also think it's at least valid to note that you do have a tendency to call people names when they disagree with you. I take PB, et al., to task for this shitty behavior all the time (not that it does any good...), so I feel like it's only fair to do it here, too. So while you didn't call anyone a retard in this particular thread, it's not as if the behavior is foreign to you or that people can't ascribe the behavior to you based on previous conduct.

It is, actually. Calling a woman a cunt reduces her to a sexualized object. Using the term as a pejorative implies further that possessing a cunt is a bad thing. It's different from "dickhead" for two reasons. On the one hand, dickhead is such a common term that it's lost almost all semantic force (which is known as semantic weakening). On the other hand, because U.S. society is still somewhat patriarchal, a man speaking to a woman using sexualized terms of abuse reinforces an implicit gender hierarchy.
Tisket's use of "cunt" is different. In that case, she's owning the term, much the same way the black community owned "nigger." It's okay for her to call herself a cunt, but not so okay for a man to refer to a woman as one.

Yes, it is based on gender. And just because people don't get up in arms about being called a dick or a dickhead doesn't mean that that is not also sexist. Insults based on gender are by their very definition sexist.

We don't live in the UK. If we lived in the UK, then you could make a valid argument that cunt isn't a sexist term. But the usage and meaning of the term between here and the UK is so vastly different that your argument doesn't hold water.

That is true I suppose but it started out criticizing the deputy system which at least was somewhat relevant, at this point the derailment has been derailed.
Don't be stifling the current derailment! I think if given enough time to evolve and mutate a PC thread can eventually find a cure for cancer.
And if I DO do it, then I either apologize or edit my post, or both.
That is the funniest fucking thing I have read in weeks, thanks for that.

We don't live in the UK. If we lived in the UK, then you could make a valid argument that cunt isn't a sexist term. But the usage and meaning of the term between here and the UK is so vastly different that your argument doesn't hold water.
We don't live in the internet either. BOOM BAM LAWYERED.

As we read more it becomes more evident as to why the star was needed in the first place, perhaps this thread comes full circle.

This went from really neat historical item to arguing over offensive sexual terms. I love Player's Corner!

If Bronn says it it's true.
Bronn and the dog are my two favorite characters in the show. I hope the red priest/wizard is played well, he's my other favorite character in the series.

No, I just always assumed you were a guy.

Honestly, I don't get why everyone always gets so up in arms over that word. I say it in real life. I call people cunts jokingly (and sometimes non-jokingly, mostly while driving) all the time and I never take offense when I'm called one, jokingly or otherwise. It's just a fucking word, like any other fucking word.
Maybe I'm really Irish.

Yes current bid is 2.5m and will be sold in 90 minutes if no further bids. The thread might keep going though...

going to decide what that will. Most likely a self-chargable or perhaps just a 4x flared weapon. Not sure where to post that. Maybe this thread!

when you auction a new item and its gonna be worth over a mil, give it its own thread, make the title as descriptive as possible. make your item get max exposure. an lnet chat or two during peak hours doesn't hurt either. like: [LNet]-GSIV:Rozak: "Hey bros, here's my thread at forum.gsplayers.com for the 4x flaring weapon bla bla"

Or how about... "hey bro arent you some jack-a-nape who is banned, but keeps making alt accounts to circumvent it?"

Oh come on! This is the internet! We could be from anywhere in the world. Do I need to recruit Brits to come on here and call everyone a cunt?
I call everyone a cunt. I use the word because it seems to offend more people than anything else I can come up with. I don't need a lesson on why its wrong. Thats never stopped me before. Male or female, its a lovely word to hit someone with. Bitch, Fuckface, dickhead, asshole, etc are all played out. I've got Brit friends that throw the word around and damn it, if it's good enough for Britain, it's good enough for Merica.

Taken in line with the previous posts in the thread I didn't see it as a joke at all but rather a passive aggressive lash out.

I took Rozak's post of "I don't know where to put it" to be a joke, I thought it was funny, mine was a joke in kind meant to be lighthearted and not tear anyone a new one. Yesterday I said I felt bad that the thread had derailed so far off, I'm not sure why you would think I'm being passive aggressive now.
