How come Ralph is locked?!
I know he's been DH'd a few times recently but what has he done to deserve this?

Cyrus the Great01 Nov 2015 5:48 p.m. PST

He was snipped here: TMP link
I read it before it was snipped and I didn't think it was anything egregious.
Enquiring minds want to know!

Mako1101 Nov 2015 7:29 p.m. PST

I hope this is only temporary.

Slappy01 Nov 2015 9:38 p.m. PST

Could it be another one of his turns that he had some time ago? Perhaps he requested the lock, I am sure I have seen him do that as well, so before we cast aspersions we should perhaps ask- did he ask for this or did he receive this?

Personal logo Editor in Chief Bill The Editor of TMP Fezian01 Nov 2015 9:41 p.m. PST

We have had a conversation about his continuing problems abiding by forum rules. He can come back if he can assure me his behavior will improve.

Tango0101 Nov 2015 10:51 p.m. PST

Hope so!

Sounds like Lockout by 1,000 cuts.

Gwydion02 Nov 2015 4:40 a.m. PST

Just hope he is okay.
Sometimes sounded like he needed to vent in a friendly space.
I guess he felt this was it. Hope it gets sorted.

It's a case of Ultramodern being DH bait.
Somehow, people are invited to post there without expressing an opinion. It's called "Cheerleading". And cheering for evil people to get their just desserts is against TMP rules. I'm too lazy to check the FAQ. Did "cheerleading" make it there yet?

15th Hussar02 Nov 2015 6:13 a.m. PST

I like Legion. Yeah, he can be over the top, etc., but unlike some nasties here, he's a good person at heart.

Let him off a dozen Hail Caesars and promises never to visit the Topless Car Wash ever again and he should be good to go.

He's a walking palm slap to many of us here, but if that's his worst offence…

Personal logo ochoin Supporting Member of TMP02 Nov 2015 6:31 a.m. PST

I'm not a great fan of kicking people who can't reply.

….there's a forum somewhere else for that. A dignified silence if you can't say something nice seems the baseline of civilised behaviour in these circumstances.

Gwydion02 Nov 2015 7:49 a.m. PST

Welcome back Legion 4!
Well done Bill.
And lets hope it stays that way.

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP02 Nov 2015 9:20 a.m. PST

Somehow, people are invited to post there without expressing an opinion

that someone else (individual or group) should die. How difficult is that to avoid?

And cheering for evil people to get their just desserts is against TMP rules.

But shouldn't be because everyone has the same definition of evil people and what just desserts are?

Even the Nuremburg Trials recognized that if you just paint everyone with the same brush then you have become the thing you're trying to put on trial.

I'm too lazy to check the FAQ. Did "cheerleading" make it there yet?

It's been there since before people started complaining about cheerleading as an offence.

Happy for that! (smile)

Andrew, I just finished my Hail Caesars ! We don't have a topless car wash. We had a bikini car wash. But the LEOs shut it down. All the gals were actually Hookers ! This is Youngstown, OH … "used to be" a mob town ! huh? wink

Gwydion02 Nov 2015 2:40 p.m. PST

grin thumbs up

Holy poop!
You don't pay attention for an evening and a guy's account is locked, he's paroled and he's free. I missed it all!
Well, welcome back L4 and I hope you stay a free and unrestrained poster. After all, who would I argue with but for you?!? Congratulations on your restored freedom and good luck on turning a new leaf. Hint – don't suggest killing people unless they are on a wargames table.
Stay cool man and get in touch with your inner mellow dude!
Cheers and good gaming.
Rod Robertson.

I, for one, would be willing to post myself in a position to observe his compliance in this matter and enforce accountability. I might also have to interview some employees to make sure nothing is happening on the sly. As his friend, I feel that it's the least I can do.

Mako1102 Nov 2015 5:35 p.m. PST

Clearly, Jav will need an assistant, since no doubt that would be taxing work, so I volunteer my services as well.

Please specify time(s), place(s), and hourly pay rate for this important, and difficult work.

Personal logo javelin98 Supporting Member of TMP02 Nov 2015 11:44 p.m. PST

Mako, you should probably bring a camera, too. For surveillance purposes, of course.

Many Thanks Gwydion ! The mob appreciates your support ! Err … huh? I mean I appreciate your support ! thumbs up

Many Thanks Rod … it looks "providence" intervened plus [ more likely] all of support from the locals here ! So we'll have plenty of opportunities for Verbal Volley Ball ! And I'll try to stay "frosty" ! evil grin

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP03 Nov 2015 6:50 a.m. PST

Jav, Mako, I appreciate you trying to keep me away from those unholy vixens … I'd give you the addresses of where they currently are "plying their wares" … if I had them ? huh? The local LEOs are down right puritanical ! evil grin

Make sure you two guys take pictures of the girls this time
Oh I've got pics … but nothing I could post here … or most other places on the net for that matter ! huh? wink

Slappy03 Nov 2015 11:44 p.m. PST

Ahhh all is well that ends well!

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP04 Nov 2015 2:43 p.m. PST

Indeed … evil grin And just for the record I never requested to be "locked" previously or currently … Sometimes I do keep or "try" to keep a lower profile …

I normally don't look for trouble … that is not my way. But if I believe something is worthwhile. I will confront it one way or another. Again, that is just my way …

"We don't have a topless car wash. We had a bikini car wash. But the LEOs shut it down."

No idea what LEO is, but I imagine if you say you'll get DHed again… 8)=

Supercilius Maximus05 Nov 2015 12:47 a.m. PST

So are Legion 1, 2 and 3 out as well, or are they still DH'd?

Personal logo ochoin Supporting Member of TMP05 Nov 2015 3:59 a.m. PST

Well the 9th Legion were last seen, marching through the swirling Scottish mist.

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP05 Nov 2015 6:29 a.m. PST

LEO = Law Enforcement Officers … Don't think that is a "DH'able" offense ? wink I could have said "Cops" or Police, etc. … I have a bunch of friends that are LEOs. We kind of like the name ! evil grin

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP05 Nov 2015 6:48 a.m. PST

Legions I, II, III locations :

I – Brigetio = Hungary/Croatia/Slovenia

II – Aquincum = SW France

III – Lambaesis = W Magehreb
link evil grin

And yes, the XI = Britannia thumbs up My favorite movie about the XI is "The Eagle" !

I figured I'd at least bring some history back into the thread ! laugh
