New Kervoskia

NK has asked me to IP ban his account. So that there is no accusation of admin bias (since he is a member of the crimson court), he has given me permission to reprint the conversation, which was on open IRC channel #tnp.

My policy is to accede to such wishes, as I have done in the past. But I want NK to know that the door is always open, so long as z13 is open.

transcript follows:

[05:39] <NewKervoskia> Hello, flem.
[05:39] <flemingovia> hello
[05:40] <NewKervoskia> Mind doing me a bit of a favor?
[05:40] <flemingovia> what?
[05:40] <Mahasoor> hey flem
[05:40] <NewKervoskia> Lock my z13 account.
[05:41] <flemingovia> i can change the password, if you wish, or IP ban you so that you cannot revisit the forum.
[05:42] <NewKervoskia> IP ban would do splendidly.
[05:42] <flemingovia> Are you sure?
[05:42] <Eluvatar> why?
[05:42] <NewKervoskia> It's for the best.
[05:42] <flemingovia> I tend to do that only to people who want to leave but lack the self-control.
[05:42] <NewKervoskia> I lack the self-control.
[05:43] <NewKervoskia> You have my permission to post this discussion if need be.
[05:43] <flemingovia> OK
[05:44] <flemingovia> Remember, it can be reversed just by asking me.
[05:44] <flemingovia> Are you doing the same on WW's forum?
[05:44] <NewKervoskia> If he wouldn't mind.
[05:44] <NewKervoskia> And thank you. I'll remember that.

That's weird. Very weird.

I noticed NK posted in the Jolt forums that he was leaving the gameplay part to become a Generalite. *shudders*

I wish the best for NK. I do find this news troubling. Anyone who says conflict is good for activity hasn't considered the numbers of great players we lose everytime events like these occur.

NK started out as a Generalite and came to gameplay later. I think he's feeling the hopelessness of fighting the inevitable. I've felt it for quite a while now too. Ever since I learned the true purpose of influence.

I wish he wouldn't go. But I understand it.
