Conquer Club

Hi gang, Saxi here! Recently I was having a pow-wow with the Valued Mods on ways we could improve the site. They mentioned to me that they have a lot of work dealing with C&A filings. I suggested it might be a great idea to start an informal, voluntary, non-binding, Alternate Dispute Resolution Forum where two players having issues with each other can come to receive relief from their complaints. Naturally, everyone agreed with me that that would be a grand idea to host a place in one of the cyber "alleys" of CC where I could relieve other players.

This is my full-time project from here on out and this will be the only thread I post in moving forward, that is how committed I am to making this project a success so that CC can become a more inclusive, caring community. Gang, we want a community that celebrates our diversity. Let's celebrate!

Here are the rules of my ADR Forum:

1 - Post your complaint, identifying the other player, in this thread. Be as detailed as possible. Pertinent information like time / place / game number / exact quotations of text, etc. will all help me arrive at a fair and equitable decision. Don't be afraid of detail!
2 - Keep your post to 144 characters or less. Complaints in excess of that will be IGNORED. I do not have the time nor desire to deal with petty bitching and moaning.

I will issue a non-binding ruling. While my rulings are non-binding, it is advised you take them under close consideration as the Valued Mods and I are good friends.

I'm going to kick it off by making the first complaint.

Let's make this happen, gang!

Your Friend,
STX

Accused: King Achilles
Accuser: Saxitoxin
Adjudicator: Saxitoxin
Accusation: In December, during my interregnum, I sent a personal email to King Achilles requesting he post "SAX ATTAK!" in the forums just to shake some of the sillies out since I couldn't make my own posts. He responded by saying he did not do requests, or something like that. I accuse him of violating the Rainbow Rule against me.

I, Saxitoxin, Alternate Dispute Adjudicator, hereby find King Achilles not at fault.

The complaint by me is dismissed with prejudice.

this can't be right!

I accuse saxitoxin of playing both ends of the field and holding the referee in his pocket.

Can I apply to be an Alternate Alternate Dispute Adjudicator?

Accused: Saxitoxin
Accuser: jefjef - skittles - woodruff - timminz - strife
Adjudicator: Army of God
Accusation:Saxitoxin changed the name of the Reign of Terror to the gang of five.
The name change is a misrepresentation. We are NOT a gang. Some of us are mutual foes.

What say ye AoG?

#1 - Your request for adjudication is rejected as it is not formatted properly. This is Saxi's Alternate Dispute Resolution Forum, not Army of God's Alternate Dispute Resolution Forum.

#2 - The Alternate Dispute Adjudicator (Saxitoxin) finds it suspicious you are identifying Strife as an Accuser. Since he has not leveled this accusation personally he will need to state his endorsement in this forum. OR, GabonX can state Strife's endorsement. For the amount of grab ass that goes on between those two, the ADA will allow him to act as proxy for Strife.

If you reformat and resubmit your request to identify Saxitoxin as Adjudicator it will be considered.

Thanks, jefjef!

I, Saxitoxin, Alternate Dispute Adjudicator, hereby find Saxitoxin not at fault.

Further, for filing a petty grievance, jefjef is ordered to take colton24 to the Padres' April 24 home game against the Brewers.

The complaint by jefjef is dismissed with prejudice.

It is obvious that Saxitoxin is NOT a non-biased adjudicator.

By definition: A gang is a group of three or more people who, through the organization, formation, and establishment of an assemblage, share a common identity.

We are not an organization, formation, assemblage or share a common identity.

Your ruling/finding is dismissed with extreme prejudice.

These seem to be rather contradictory statements. The 144 character limit could prevent one form fully explaining their grievance and thus impair you from being able to adjudicate to the best of your abilities, and thus would create a less inclusive environment.

While it certainly is true that saxitoxin is a very good friend of every moderator on the Conquerclub website and we take his suggestions for improving the quality of the service and for fostering a caring and harmonious climate on the fora in which every poster can feel that they are accepted for who they are and not for who they pretend to be very seriously, this thread, albeit great in concept as well as execution, is not crystally-clearly specifically related to the gaming aspect of Conquerclub but of a more general and social nature.

As such it has, after extensive as well as intensive discussion about the matter among the moderators assisted by the esteemed Saxitoxin, been determined that this thread may better fulfill its role on the so-called Off-Topic forum until a whole new forum can be created for the purpose of resolving disputes among players in a genial, unbiased and above all personal manner that stresses the individuality of each party in every quarrel, rather than the procedural, circumstance-centered and dispassionate manner in which every controversy, great or small, is currently handled on the C&A fora.



Moderately and always caring for the good of the community,

So subversive...i love it

Excuse me, but I am not, nor do I intend to be, accusing anyone of anything in this thread. Kindly remove my name from your list.

I love the fact that you're ADA.

Accusation:Saxitoxin's sister indicated that Saxitoxin has met his untimely end. Yet Saxitoxin still posts. I accuse Saxitoxin and his sister of consipracy to commit fraud, engaging in fraudulent acts, and distortion of the truth

I, Saxitoxin, Alternate Dispute Adjudicator, hereby find Saxitoxin not at fault.

As previously stated by me, my account was hacksawed by the Gang of 5. I do not have a sister named Phoneutria nigriventer toxin-3. My only living family is my sister Tetrodotoxin, my brother-in-law Ludwig, and my homosexual nephew Jan.

The complaint by thegreekdog is dismissed with prejudice.

I, Saxitoxin, Alternate Dispute Adjudicator, hereby find Lackattack and AndyDufresne equally at fault. Each will receive an equal punishment.

As punishment, AndyDufresne is ordered to submit a written apology to Lackattack.

As punishment, Lackattack is ordered to permit AndyDufresne to impregnate his girlfriend. Lackattack will then raise the child as his own.

Will this be televised on C-SPAN or the like? I know you can often hear oral arguments of the USA Supreme Court and such. I think we can all agree that it is in the world's benefit to introduce our ADA to a larger, worldwide, audience.

Thank you your honor (note, attorneys are supposed to say this even if they don't get a result they like).

Please note - viewtopic.php?t=7785 - links to sites containing nudity or pornography are NOT allowed. Having got a monther once for violating this rule I am well acquainted with it. (Though, technically I didn't violate it, I was just doing a quick cyber session with another player in game chat and, apparently, they were not a willing recipient of my amorous verbiage. And, further technically, I didn't actually get a monther, I simply requested the Valued Mods suspend my account for a month so that rank and file players wouldn't feel I wasn't getting special treatment and, of course, the Valued Mods complied with my instructions as we are all good friends.)

Thanks, AndyDufresne!
