yikes!
I go without a PC for a week and all hell breaks loose! just catching up on all the gossip now, Micky filled me in last night with what was going on with things.
Firstly, im actually really gutted by the loss of the Platypus federation...... Id put quite a bit of effort into that Federation and now not having access to it and just generally all the ill-feeling towards it, has left me quite dispondent and just generally sad about the whole situation. It was the thing that id put the most effort into (aside from my team) and all i have to show is a bitter taste in my mouth - which ironically i can't show cause internets doesn't allow posting of tongues and bitterness.
Secondly - Ive actually requested for access to the old Federation from the GM's - obviously once this whole scenario has settled down im hopeful that they will grant me mod access, such that i can perhaps retrieve forum posts/just generally give back access to the original people, just such that ex-members can access anything that they may have put in there that is relevant, i know ive got stuff i want access to....... Im not sure if this is possible, but, if Latino does have his account banned or if for whatever reason his account becomes inactive, im hopeful that maybe ill be given access.
Thirdly - thanks to everyone who has continued the work of the Platypus fed into the new Wombats fed - I havent joined yet, just waiting for the dust to settle....but its great that you guys have done that. In spite of recent events, Latino did a really good thing setting that Federation up, it gave me renewed life in the game and I certainly enjoyed it, there were lots of good ideas and a lot of effort was spent by him doing it. Regards of the outcome of recent drama's, there is a lot of good from the work that was done by him and ive told him in the past that im grateful for that.
Other users in the past have had loads more positive interaction with Latino outside of the Federation including myself . I know micky and others such as Ranga (who appears to be turning into a ferret?) had lots of positive dealings with him and he put a lot of effort into the U21/Nat team scouting, so it is a real shame that events have happened in this way. so yer. hopefully whatever happens - happens for the better.
