LOL!
All this coming from the guy who is upset that his constant snitching and brown-nosing was insufficient to be rewarded the promotion of middle-manager.
Your schoolyard bully mentality is not gonna help you out in life.
Perhaps you developed an understanding that sucking up to the other popular jerks is a smart way to stay ahead or something, I see a lot of trauma signs showing in you including the constant deflection to joking when your 'mean' or 'aggressive' side doesn't quite work out.
What I wonder is is that just a shell with a caring person inside or are you just a true sociopath that's too far gone? I will enjoy finding out as your time here ensues, most people are easy to read.
Your level of self-awareness is admirable.
And you're an established bootlicker of anyone with authority here so far so kinda loses the sting to that punchline.
“You do YOUR DUTY and I shut up and accept what you do.
That is all you wanted us to be and all we are. You do your decisions, I inform and report”
So you’re an established snitch?
same to you with your frustration, move on. xoxo
Then why are you still tagging me in messages where you express your frustration? Move on.
I am not sure how you think you are coming across but it sounds like I should be afraid to inform you of activity as you whine at me that what you think you should do is not in line with what I think you should do.
I don't matter, I am not the president. Call your own shots. If I was the president, my only job would be to stop you going too far. You are the shotcaller, you are the boss.
I did MY DUTY and informed you and Barney since we all know Supadudz is not doing much at all.
You do YOUR DUTY and I shut up and accept what you do.
That is all you wanted us to be and all we are. You do your decisions, I inform and report.
And I'll warn him not to do it again. That doesn't mean that I'm going to retroactively change this to unrated to deny Austin a win. Wylted's forfeits are not Austin's failings, but you sure make it sound like that's how I should treat them.
this is a website ambassador, the president, plagiarising and destroying what rating means.
Unfairly... what?
Wylted forfeited several rounds. That's been the basis for practically every vote against him, not the plagiarism. If you view that as the problem, then there have been an awful lot of people absolutely gaming the system since this site started.
his opponent is unfairly gaining a win, you are absolutely RIDICULOUS but do not worry.
You want a broken system, enjoy your shithole. That is the end of that discussion.
so his opponent gained rating unfairly and his own rating deflated.
This is intentional gaming and devaluing of what rating means.
On top of that it is plagiarism and using a bot to do one's debates.
Not sure what you want us to do here. If he was gaining points off of plagiarism, I'd agree that we should change this over to unrated, but he forfeited every round after the first and he's getting hammered for it in the votes. It's not like we're going to ban him for doing this anyway, and I'm not going to change it over to unrated when his opponent is the only one benefitting from this being rated.
No, it doesn't, that's the one person the president can't overturn punishments for.
It’s too late to prosecute him. The Presidency grants him immunity.
Well played.
It really is debatable whether that is plagiarism or not. I would say no. I know some people also consider AI art plagiarism as well, which is very odd.
PLAGIARISED ROUND 1 RATED
Education needs to be free
Don’t reveal your plans in the comment section. It could strengthen the opposing case. You want to be stronger than your opponent.
Really not helping your case there with "the center of the world" comment.
College education is where people attend college to learn from teachers. Also America is the center of the world
I could certainly make a case involving the ambiguity of "the government." Seriously, how Americentric is it to assume that "the government" automatically refers to the US government?
What government? What counts as education? "Self explanatory" my ass, nobody should win by purposely knowing something they wouldn't give to their opponent.
