[quote name='Ledhed']I remember you posting after the original cut list that included you was made. That was when you were given another clan invite and placed on the probation list.[/quote]
It's really sad that I'm extremely loyal to CAG and i'm being sidelined for a faulty router problem that was fixed today.
But, save for a couple of random posts that regarded nothing of your internet woes, I can't recall seeing one post telling us that you still couldn't play. And don't start pointing at this other " F U MS!" thread. That wasn't here; that was there. I shouldn't have to look there to know what your status is.
Uh, then you've got seeing problems. I'll damn well point to the "F U MS thread". XBox Live is for XBox, that was in the XBox forum. I posted about my problems in the XBox forum and the Halo 2 CAG forum, Shrike and RockSolidAudio knew about my problems, why didn't you? I mean, seriously, are you one of those people in life that expects everything to be placed right under your nose? Do you not take initiative and search? Do you not search for a reason that maybe someone's not playing?
As for the PMs to rock and Shrike: that I legitimately didn't know about, and I appreciate your efforts there. But, all we ask is that you let us know in one of the threads that you'll be missing practice because or can't play because "..."
I should not have to inform but only one leader. If there is a communication problem between the leaders, that is not my problem. I left my problems in the CAG post and in the XBox forum. Do not try to put the blame back on me, Ledhed. The problem is yours. I posted in the right thread, I posted in the right forum, and I talked to the leaders. As far as I know, practice is optional, not mandatory.
If you put it in the thread, then not only can every Staff player see it, but every other player as well. That way, someone can come to your defense and say, "Scorch gave us a heads up and told us he wouldn't be playing because of his connection issues."
Once again, it WAS in the thread. There WERE people that came to my defense. Did you read through the damn thread or are you just pulling things out of your ass?
Imagine I'm a Truancy Officer, and you've been staying home from school because you were genuinely sick. But, you never bothered telling anyone that you were sick and were going to miss school. Then I, being left in the dark as to your current status, have to come down on you for missing school, even though you had a legitimate reason for not being there. See what I mean?
In schools, or mine anyways, there was a principal for each grade. And I was out for two weeks, actually, I had surgery for three (yes, three) hernias. I let my sophomore advisor know, and he, in turn, did his job and made the principal aware. Why does your organization not have that same information structure? Do admins not talk to each other? Shrike is not the only person I have told. I've made it very, very public on the forums that i've been having problems. Mike, Andrea and Tom at XBox even know about my problems, why don't you? It's not like i'm making this up.. I posted screens of the issue, I posted the e-mail of the issue.. god, what do you want me to do next, show up at your door with my cable line in my hand? I notified the proper people and then some and that should be that.
That's all well and good shrike, but it isn't your responsibility to relay info back to the Staff. And yes, he did post about his problems after the other cut list. But after that, complete radio silence in the clan threads regarding his absence. It's his responsibility to post and let us know what the situation is.
Ledhed, I know i'm out of line in saying this, but you're a complete tool. I informed the administrators, I posted the proper pictures, and I let the head of clans know. As I said before, there was no communication problem on my end. I'm not vocal on XBox Live, but as you know, i'm VERY vocal here, and I voiced my concerns. You keep mentioning that I posted my problems after the first cut. Are you still referencing the one post, or are you waiting for more links to be handed to you instead of taking the initative and searching for them? Would a post from November 10th, the day after the game launched, be sufficient?

In case that's not what you're looking for, how about one from November 30th?

My internet SUCKS, that's why I haven't been on Live lately.
There were two issues that I had. The first was that my internet would go down every few minutes. Comcast was called. This issue was resolved. I received an email from Microsoft this morning, informing me of MTU's and NAT's or something. I did what the email said, and i'm fine now.
But once again, I posted in the clan thread. I posted in the XBox forum. The clan information was posted in the clan thread, the online play, via XBox Live, for the XBox system, was posted in the XBox forum. I even made my own thread. What more do you want? If you're making cuts based on people YOU haven't seen, maybe YOU should consider the fact that not everyone lives the same life as you. Shrike has seen me on, and so have others. Shrike is the only one i've constantly kept in communication with, via Halo dashboard and PM's. My body was on third shift for a while. I slept during the day and I was awake during the night. There's been times that i've been on and no one else has. Maybe you should ask around and find out if anyone's seen someone before randomly putting their name on a list.
Ledhed - This is not a personal issue. You are a good moderator, and apparently a Halo 2 player, so let's keep this as a constructive disagreement, alright? I know you sound like a dick, and you're being and thinking like one on this issue.. but I can be a dick right back.. that's why we're butting heads.
