Clearing my reputation.

So here I am with my last message, a few weeks after me being fired here. I still feel the same as a few weeks ago and I cannot live with my name on a scaffold; I need to be purified of all accusations and I deserve respect for what I have done.


In the last weeks I haven't been able to get online as much - as some, at least, noticed I was having computer issues.
After:
I did make contact with Mael one time, just a little message, nothing more and very brief. I made contact with Vis however and he was really down to earth and I accused him of talking bad things about me to Maelstrom. I appoligize for that but I really hope you understand (after reading all this). Vis also said I didn't need to go public with all this.... still here I am.... in maybe a last effort for justice. Why public? Well, i'm still awaiting an apology from Mael, and I still feel misunderstood. And I think Americans love numbers instead of personal affection. There is apathy towards others that helped your website and community up. Also, it apparantly weighs heavier then stuff that is really important for a community, for co-workers.... for friends.
Also, I would like to thank those again that helped me the last few weeks when I was able to make contact via pm: Mike, who was maybe the best and loyal mod I ever worked with and also a good friend to play with and Link, not just one of the best players in JKA but also one of my best friends online and in real life =)

So the facts in a chronological timescale, to pin out what happened that last year:
SaberWeek VIII;
Vis appoints me to become Mod of SaberWeek. Since Week of War died and DP needed something new I joined SWVII and checked it out solo. In SWVIII we came with DP and I was appointed as moderator. My job was to promote the event in Europe but the first SW as a mod I just played a lot, helped my clanmembers getting to know the rules and met new people.

SaberWeek IX:
DS and Rage, two biggest clans in SaberWeek, had a fight.... again. It was a very crowded SaberWeek with lots of clubs active. I recruited KR and had my first contact with Lessa, a sweet czech girl from my age, counciller of KR.
Visualizer resigned from SaberWeek because of the troubles that were between DS and Rage. Vateruis took over and the event was at a top:

Clubs 16
Players 110
Games 626
Points 21407

SaberWeek X:
What a booming event again. Not as big as previous but... the atmosphere was getting back. Lessa joined the crew, and girls do have magic when it comes to calming conflicts :P After SW10 Rage stepped out and I was director.

SaberWeek XI:
Rage stepped out, but I had the chance to recruit some new clans. Vateruis stepped out as well. Make your own conclusions but it was all because of the war between Rage and DS back then.
I appointed Ashyr as moderator to show the rest you can give people a chance and only then will people prove what they are made of and will they do their best. Ashyr did improve all SW's that followed, but still results (recruiting US clans), activity and the mistrust of Rage over Ashyr remained. Gave him so many chanches I cannot even count the amount. Feels lame that now I am gone Ashyr just moves on and on, as if nothing happened. Feels very lame as well that it was I who directed directly to Ashyr that I can't make it for AONOweek (mercwar) and that he must at last face his test and must prove he is a good director in the future. Enough about Ashyr, we all know he failed and I feel sorry because I know Ashyr still is a good guy with more then a life then JKA alone.
SaberWeek XI was however the first SaberWeek that I was director. I made a nice movie for it and hoped it would help to promote the event on JK3files. However they already wrote in the review that they hated commercials....
I also changed the rules a bit... well most likely I just copied the words that I had from last SW's and changed it into something smaller, more structurized and more fair (Euro-US rule). With the help of Lessa we had better rules that should lead to a better gameplay.
Was the event succesfull? With 40 players (many new players) and 164 not really. But at least if felt different and the atmosphere was getting better, which was my first target as director.

SaberWeek XII
Enzio, the mod I never saw, got fired. How do you fire people you even NEVER met:
I pm'ed Enzio BEFORE SWXI that I never saw him and introduced myself. I also made clear that IF I wouldnt hear from him before SWXII he would be fired as mod. A very clear and reasonable reason to fire someone. He never responded or opened the message so I had to pull him down of the modlist. Mael agreed.
With 40 players and 169 games SaberWeek was slightly growing again.... We also saw a few clans go and saw new faces like Eternity, Teddy and BOSS. DS was maybe the only active clan from the US....

SaberWeek XIII
13 was a very unlucky number, it really crashed there. 3 players in top 10 rated says enough. I can't remember any more why it was unsuccesful; it just happened. I remember me writing an open and honest message in public where I reflected on myself. SaberWeek XIV proved that it worked:

SaberWeek XIV
Many new clans signed up, even some American, we had a big booming event again with servers ready and a very good atmosphere.... even though we suddenly saw many new faces.
192 games says enough.

SaberWeek XV
Mods: Lessa, Ashyr and ET.
now wow. Ashyr wasnt even active, Lessa was still here I think so the event turned Euro? Not really, with Rage finally back and at last a US server again we had the event growing again =)
216 games says that the event is coming back.

SaberWeek XVI
Again I recruited a few new clans, all Euro, but Rage was back and DW was signed up.... maybe the event will become worldwide again. Rage got the server up again and the event went really smoothly. With all those Euro clans active Rage was smartest and won the event.
218 games.... still rising but....


SaberWeek XVII
The Hitman from Rage joined the crew and also Mike who has been a very active and good player so far.
I had personal issues going (girls...) and only played 8 games... where I normally am one of the most active players (5th place overall on all SW's with a pentium 4 with 30 fps to say it all :P)
Ashyr wasnt active in field, The Hitman and Mike were and saw a few guys from LIS owning the event completely.

SaberWeek XVIII
I pulled Ashyr off his modposition with a last warning. He already received many chances from me but after talking with Mael I decided to give him one more chance. I still pulled him off the modlist of the event itself, even though it was Mael that gave him his last chance. Was Ashyr active? Not really, but at least active on the forums and he did tell me he had schoolstuff to do.
The event it self was very huge, more US clans joined and the intercontinental rule was off. Many US clans hated to fight on Euro servers as well as on US, so I changed the rule as an option: it is possible to do 2 matches on both continents and it shows you are sportive. This rule was used by those in favour of a sportive gaming attitude and worked.
We saw 145 games and it was far from a US event!

SaberWeek XIX
My last SaberWeek as a director, was planning to do one more.... but you all know what happened (and maybe not why it happened)
Ashyr proved himself again so I reinstalled him as mod. We had a really big event actually with Euro clans on Euro servers with servertrouble :/!
It was a pity that we had no US servers and maybe that was the big reason why Americans stopped playing.
Still we saw many games and a very relaxed atmosphere in game!
138 games on Euro servers only...


AONO week.
I felt like doing something different and there was a 5th friday. All mods agreed on doing this on our new JKA mod board.
Something goofy should be played and then it happened.... Computer crash.
I was preparing the event and I just could not work anymore, could not setup at least my own server and could not be active. I posted in the forums at work and began trying to fix my computer.
I also gave Ashyr the full responsibility to organize the event.... maybe it was all too late.
Few days later I see meself posting and see that people talk strange about me.... Then I saw it.... I had no adminpower!!! Without even a single warning, without even a pm from my mods or Mael, without even a clue of what have happened I got fired.
Reason: the event turned Euro. OK it was in SW19 but it wasnt in SW18!
Reason I never saw the message on the forum? I had no computer?

Still I feel disillusionised about that I have been fired and that all my plans and work has been for nothing. At least it feels like I did it all for nothing Worst of all is that I never even got a single apology from Maelstrom.

It was wrong, unfair, unjust and very VERY lame to fire me, in a way you never want to be treated by others yourself!

I could write for hours.... but I really must stop. I just want to gain respect again and I want people to see me as a good person.... not that Euro scum who ruined SaberWeek while he was the one that built it up again after it crashed!

Also hope this message stays and will not be locked. I find Mike and TDO very good mods and directors for the event and I will be happy to play again =)
If help is needed I will be here, SaberWeek's my baby.


greetings

In my opinion your reputation doesn't require clearing, you did absolutely nothing wrong.

Vis did his best to get rid of me. Its done. I Dont know what will happen in JA now.

Vis's goonies came on my forum attacking me, I reply and get banned. Whatever

You did a great job ET. The only problem was u didn't check the forum thats why u got fired. Mael posted in JA Mod private for you but it wasnt replied to. AONO week I tried to keep going but failed as Slacker knew jack of what to do with RCON for ur server.

You did your best for ER and JKA, I did my best for ER and JKA but apparently Vis has other plans..

The man did nothing wrong. But his reputation was hurt because of the poop done to him, obviously. And he also simply wants an apology, and I truly can't blame him! The way it was handled wasn't just unprofessional, it was also unfair! The guy's comp was broken and people expect him to check the forums! That's rather, well, impossible, isn't it? But I understand all sides, really this is simply human nature... and no real harm done, but I hope people have learnt from this useless happening.

I gotta say We're seriously considering to not participate anymore now that ET just has been kicked out here for no real reason.
ET has been my friend since the days of Week of War and I know I can trust him with a lot so I really think it's not fair what happened here.
I can't decide this on my own but the other NRNers will probably agree with me....

Maelstrom edit - That's quite enough, Vis. I do not want this argument continuing.
