At least the staff can keep their integrity through the Member-commiting-suicide route.

I've learned that I chose the best/worst time possible to cut off all contact with everyone from Eyeson, depending on your perspective of the situation.

I'm not sure I completely understand. Do you mean a 'fake suicide' gag has less effect on someone's integrity or believability?

He means that when Linus faked his suicide we were able to keep our integrity, but in playing this joke we became scum. Or something like that. We didn't lose our integrity in the former because we weren't in on the joke.

EDIT: After Raist made comments about me being an awful admin I was gonna put my "Best Admin" and Ciddies in my sig but I forgot until just now. Damn.

In reply to D:

Neither. A suicide scenario wouldn't have generated the amount of totally unneeded drama that this had caused. It also doesn't make fun of people who care for this place. This doesn't show any integrity on the staff's part.

Just to clarity.

But you lost that Ciddie to BoB last time. Still, you can use my Best Male Ciddie if it makes you feel better. I'm surprised I beat you to win it!

Losing Integrity does not = Scum. Thanks for taking my words out of context out of mass defensiveness.

You reckon? If people had seriously believed someone killed themselves, it'd be far more chaotic than a few staff members having hissy-fits with one another.

I mean, seriously... all we did was argue with each other. It is not, and never will be, as serious as somebody killing himself.

EoFF was never "on the brink of destuction", as some people have suggested. There was an apparent falling-out among the staff, and some of them quit. Big whoop.

Sure, the drama got a little out of hand and spread further than was anticipated. Oh well, we all survived. It successfully fooled the ones it was meant to fool - the cynical, grizzled oldbies who only login so they can post in Feedback about how crap EoFF has become, and how it was so much better in the old days
