Ultimatum 2011

Recently a thread on TecmoWorld called for my unbanishment.
Of course it came with the typical stipulations, posturing, and rhetoric.
Some thoughts:


A board merger currently is a well meaning pipe dream
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's simply not going to happen.
Quite frankly, if this did happen I'm willing to bet at least one league if not more would start their own board and essentially negate any of the benefits.
Currently there is

• another board you can go to if you screw up on one of them
• another board you can go to if you don't care for how it's run
• a natural rivalry which encourages development

I've been around quite a while.
Puretecmo was started because the guys at OTFL were dicks.
TecmoWorld was started because the guys over at Puretecmo were dicks.
I'm pretty sure you can see the pattern.


I'm not unbanning TDO/Gary
While I appreciate a classic Mr. TSB declaration of intent morphing into a call for a truce, I fail to see why I should respond positively to any sort of ultimatum.
Regardless of what you previously read, here is how I was banned.

- I ban Gary
- He tries to circumvent the ban
- I clear his signatures linking back to his site
- He tries to circumvent the ban
- I make his signatures/statuses unflattering
- He starts a section on the board that only I or guests can see spelling out an ultimatum
- I make a post chiming in on a JJ thread and congratulating him on securing the main TPC section
- He bans me without saying anything to anyone
- He tells me through "channels" that I am banned for causing drama

If you're going to do something I consider ridiculous, I am going to point it out which I'm pretty sure negates what you consider to be a truce.
I mean, we're both ridiculous.  Look at the stupid list I just put up!  Look at any of the ridiculous vernacular you use to describe anything on this site!
Thus, ban or unban me, I truly do not care.  Regardless of that decision at some point I'll either unban you or I won't.  For what it's worth that decision currently isn't at "never" at the moment.

Puretecmo/NOOBS!
At what point can anyone go over to puretecmo.com and tell me that "we hate new people."
Is it the "Getting started in Tecmo" thread or the "Welcome to PureTEcmo" thread that specifically tells people to fuck off?
I frankly hate the term "noob" because post counts mean dick.  You're continued references to "Vets vs Noobs" is either tired rhetoric you spout off undoubtedly to paint an unfavorable picture of a rival website.

Guys, I didn't start Puretecmo.  I started the Repository about 6 months after I started visiting PT to talk about hacking roms and general Tecmo stuff.
When I started at Puretecmo openings were very limited but I was just some guy with the AIM name buckfuttor who took shit from people and just rolled with it and got the opportunity to take over a team in season two of HSTL.  Did you get a lot of shit over there?  Oh definitely.  However it was more due to the slightly racist, Kid Rock quoting, redneck schtick you decided to roll in there with and simply couldn't back it up.  Have you changed?  Definitely.  However, it's still your experience over there that made you the person who started this site out of spite and actually thinks

Most of the flack Knobbe gives me arises from him being a "vet or puretecmo loyalist"

Really?  Are you trying to pander to new people or are you simply an idiot?

In conclusion I leave you with this:

Delusional Tecmo Website owner: "Also would tecmo even exist today considering if things where left alone no newbs would have breed life into tecmo and all but a handful of these vets remain?"

 Would you expect anything else from a guy who thinks Tecmo exists online today because of him?
