Is Guess actually Steven? You decide! Decision: No
2009-06-24, 11:24 AM #1
Quote:
I work with a friend named *****. I have known ***** for many years. ***** is a good friend of mine. On the internet, ***** goes by the name of "Guess". After ***** got out of the military, ***** got a job working for the local city government. A few months later, ***** told me about an opening. I applied and was hired. We have worked together for about 3 years now. ***** desk is about 5 feet from my desk. We're on the same network, with the same host mask, IP, the whole shebang. There is also another fellow named ****** who works down the hall in Maintenance, and goes by the name Hombre. He's in a similar situation, though I think he cares much less than ***** or I do.
I can see how this would lead to some confusion about evasion or alternate nicks or whatnot. If you would unban me, I would appreciate it. I assure you, I have no interest in trolling your forums or causing trouble. To be honest, I'm not really even that interested in any of the topics of discussion or posting in general. Now and again, however, I do occasionally make a post to keep in touch with many of the old members (particularly with my wedding coming up), whom I have "known" for a long time, and some private messages on occasion. I would also like to send cards out again this Christmas.
I understand that my story may seem hard to believe, so I can take a picture (of our office, or of ***** and I or whatever) on my phone and send it to you if you would like.
Let me know.
Received that message after the recent bannings.

Understand that no matter what, Guess is staying banned, so this is more or less deciding Steven's fate.

Here's the other side of it, which is the other "proof":

A. Guess and Steven's IP are identical.
B. Steven began browsing immediately after Guess was banned. (25 seconds to be exact)

So, knowing all that I know now, you all can make a decision. I'll close the poll in 12 hours. If the vote goes in that Steven is not Guess, he will be unbanned. Otherwise, nothing changes.

Back in my day people were just content (well, as content as they could get) when they logged on to #massassi with two users, then claimed the other one was his brother on another computer and that they had a shared Internet connection la-di la-da-e-lah

Those were the dags. Dogs?

I thought they were two people with like minds.

Although I hate to say, Guess discovered the perfect opening for attack. Super effective!

Eh...it could be. I never thought much of it, but if their desks are only 5 feet apart it could have been a:
Guess: "hey...I was just banned!"
Steven: "ha" *goes on Massassi to see why*

*shrug* I don't know...just a theory to throw out there.

If they have the same I.P. at work, maybe Steven should just post from home...
Think while it's still legal.

]-[ did refer to Guess already in 2007 (pour instance) so this is not really a new fabrication.

I'm unsure, so I'm going with the British Jury system of "if you're not sure, he's not guilty".

I've gone with different people.

I don't think they are, but I thought it was a joke thread so I clicked option 1.

While it may be suspicious, these points certainly would not stand in a real court. :colbert:

IF they were both steven, then he does a damn good job at the act.

Considering that Guess has been here since 1999, I doubt it.

I still think 2 years is WAY over the top. If that comment had been about ANYONE else on the forum (say, Kirby's disorder), there would be no issue.

I'm a little confused as to why he was so harshly banned.

If it wasn't for the fact you are mr super admin, I doubt anyone would've taken it so seriously. Seems like your retort for his insult is a ban, rather than it being deserved.

But I mean whatever, if you're truly insulted by his comment and wish to punish then it's by all means your power to do so. This isn't a democracy afterall.

Just seems harsh, that's all.

Not really. It's more sensible. Anyone else I'd know it was a joke. Guess means it, as he's done nothing but insult me at every opportunity in the past 8 months since Steven was initially banned.

If anything, you can say he's had it coming, and this was the line.

In any case, Guess's banned status isn't really the point of this thread.

Symptoms can vary widely and, depending on the severity of the condition, can include pain, blood clots, seizures, blindness and mental retardation.

You'll probably ban me, but how all this looked to me is that Guess called you retarded and then you banned him because you are.

Em. Not saying you are retarded or anything, just saying that is what I understood from this thread that followed the double (possibly soon triple) bannination of doom.

So, em, yeah. Just thought I'd note.

Don't care. I agree with CM on everything except duration (though I don't think it should be nearly as short as "a day" like I've heard some say). Personal attacks are far too tolerated on these forums as it is, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm going to call it early since it's pretty lopsided. Steven's unbanned.

I get called things all the time, and rarely people ban my offenders. Why should guess be treated any differntly. I find your decision to be biased, and unjust.
Nothing to see here, move along.

I like the drama of a good banhammer swing. Also as has been mentioned on many occasions, this ain't a democracy. Matty doesn't have to be fair all the time, but he just needs to remember not to ban me cause next time he wants donations for mb sitting on the server I won't play if I'm banned :o
