Well since my post "Magically" disappeared, I figured I would re-post it. As far as I know it is not in violation of any TOS and since the Mods usually leave messages as to why something was removed/filtered, I will assume it must be an error. Luckily I also have what Valentio responded with as well as the response I was writing when the post disappeared...

Valentios's response from the other thread


lol nice try. Pretty nice comic.

The only place to get official update on the S.P.E.C.T.R.E alliance is from Guild Master of the S.P.E.C.T.R.E alliance. Information will be released by the Guild Masters as deemed fit on the official En Masse Dragonfall forum.

The current go to persons for this alliance are: Valentio Serena Nyssa

Any other information you are getting anywhere else might be an attempt at mud-sling and defamation.

Drawing's not bad though =)

As to exploiting for votes: Passion's official response is, En Masse should have the tools and power to look at where we are getting votes. They know exactly how many votes we got, they know where we got them. If we exploited votes, the members that exploited would have been banned, and I would have been banned in accordance to En Masse TOS.

Since I have agreed to an interview by the En Masse Community Team, they have done their research and insured that I did not exploit.

This thread is filled with mis-information and fabricated lies; a disturbance for the community and defamation attempt. Nothing useful is done here.

Thank you,

Valentio

P.S. If you had only used your real account to post this, I would hold more respect for you. But no matter, actions speak louder than words. =)

P.S.S. It might be more effective if you just called me a big fat liar, and that say something like "Valentio will raise taxes to 15%!" (which I won't lol, promise)... But that might not work either because the community is smart and do their research... hmmm I guess we'll all have to figure out some way to... umm... make Valentio look bad.

And of course... my response

Well Dragonfall,

Sadly, this information comes from sources within the SPECTRE Alliance. Ex-Guildies who have come forward over the last few weeks after leaving SPECTRE guilds disgusted with the practices of Valentio and his gang of miscreants.

SPECTRE has been getting people from other games like AION and the popular website kokatu.com (As one of the members of a SPECTRE Guild writes for them) to buy the game or use trial accounts and buddy codes to level characters SPECIFICALLY FOR VOTING THEM INTO VANARCHY. Also, we all know about the server transfer voting exploit, just because EnMasse didn't ban anyone for it doesn't mean it didn't happen(And clearly EnMasse saw this exploit and recently patched it). EnMasse actually praises "Creative use of game mechanics" and abuse of players, as proven by their stance on guild bank ninjas. Just because it is not against the Terms of Service, does not mean it is not against the Terms of Fairness. Abuse is abuse, permitted or not, some people will do anything to win.

Sources insideSPECTRE guilds have reported that they consistently hear the bashing of other SPECTRE guilds and the tactics reported here. This is a real threat to the Dragonfall Community. Do not listen to the smooth talker Valentio. The goals of the so called "Vanarch of the People" are clear, and they will not benefit us.

Signing Off.

-- Papa

P.S. It is noted Valentio did not mention not being Nyssa. Is this as a confirmation?

P.S.S. No, but 10% will do

Pretty sure En Masse already deleted your post for being mis-informative and disruptive, that's why it "magically" disappeared.

As in "My source are people who were kicked out of the SPECTRE Alliance guilds for various misconduct and doing things that are harmful for the community, so now they hate the SPECTRE alliance for kicking them out." Okay, understood.

Are you jealous that we have REAL press coverage? Trial accounts? ORLY? Creative thinking at its best. And why are you accusing En Masse of doing something they did not? Also, you might as well as just accuse me of being filthy rich and buying over 9000 accounts and hiring over 9000 employees to level and vote for me, using them to win elections. (Hey at least I'm doing something for Job Creation, right?) Maybe people will believe you.

Term of Fairness. Really. Did I just read that? What's unfair about winning the Vanarch with the most popular vote now? Is it unfair because we had press coverage? Is it unfair because we pulled a great campaign? Is it unfair because players agreed with what we are trying to do? Term of Fairness... I get it, its not fair that you didn't get a share of the pie? Okay.

By the way, the guild bank ninja thing, LOL only one person knows the whole story to that and is actually, in-fact, not in my guild anymore due to multiple complaints, a talk, followed by rage quitting. I hope you are not who I think you are.

But yes, accusing En Masse Entertainment for doing something they did not will get you very far. =) Good luck, you will need it.

Actions speaks louder than words. Let's see you arrange events for the dragonfall community. Let's see you winning the Vanarch election. Let's see you doing your job as a vanarch. Before you are able to achieve all of that, keep trying the mud-slinging and mis-information tactic. It will only shine more light on our alliance =) Thanks.

P.S. Don't get yourself IP locked. I know you are probably behind 48 proxies (and if not, better get behind those proxies). But yeah. EME will take you down again and again and again for your disruptive behavior. And guess what? Forum mods get paid to do this. What do you get out of this other than more coverage for us =). Again, thank you.

P.S.S. Maybe the MODs need to make a response to this thread and lock it instead of deletion to prove a point that mis-information and calling En Masse silly things is, in fact, a violation of the TOS. Remember, EME reserves the right of interpretation. Good luck picking fights with EME now other than SPECTRE alliance.

so what does S.P.E.C.T.R.E mean again?

1. If GMs are going to allow in-game spies emptying the guild banks of other guilds (something I've heard of happening all over) under the heading of "it's politics", I don't see why they wouldn't allow this (I don't think they should allow it, personally, as you can't exactly BG check everyone you invite into the guild or make officer).

2. EME wouldn't take action on the voting via server hopping thing because that would require banning a healthy portion of their playerbase and that's a bad idea for a new MMO. Not saying anyone did it, but we can't say "Glove don't fit, must acquit.". And let's be honest, it's EME's fault for being this naive. They need to have SOMEONE on staff who can think with a criminal mind to see this coming in advance.

3. Don't feed the trolls...?

Not a fan of events funded through taxes because it's a lot like TAKING $5 from everyone in the room and giving the collected money to one person.

Sure, that one guy makes out like a bandit, but EVERYONE else suffers as a result, even people who didn't want to participate in the first place (yeah, I know, that's how RL taxes work).

Sustainable government is the way to go, IMHO, but maybe that's just me.

Well who knows if it is slanderous? But it is certainly scandalous!

No no silly, you seemed to have misread the original post. What was said was they were Ex-Guildies who chose to leave :) And as far as it is known, anyone who was kicked from SPECTRE guilds were removed for not being active for 2 or 3 days so that invites could be spammed on the Island of Dawn!

There is certainly no jealousy here, Tera Times IS press in this situation, so we actually get all the coverage we want :). Also, there was no accusing EnMasse of anything! (As a matter of fact, nothing bad was said about EnMasse, except that they took no action against exploiters, which is their choice!). Had you won most votes on Dragonfall server, sure there would be congratulations to you along with the rest of the server, however most votes on ANY server? After hearing about your practices, Valentio, it is clear that you are willing to do anything and everything to get to the top. The question must be asked, How Far Will You Go?!?

Tera Times is not interested in running for vanarchy, running a guild, running events, or any of that. We are just here to bring the true news to the Dragonfall Community! It sure sounds like you are getting defensive Valentio! Has a nerve been struck?

Signing Off!

-- Papa

P.S. : Just reporting the news here, we at Tera Times surely hope that EnMasse takes no offence to our coverage!

P.S.S. : Maybe you should let the mods speak for themselves :) We have said nothing bad about EnMasse or any of the mods! Without the political system created in Tera, there would be no conspiracy's to report! We at Tera Times are thankful for all the hard work that EnMasse puts into Tera every day!

so, is it true that there was an investigation regarding the transfer exploit? people making accounts to praise and vote? is that why praise couldn't be converted to policy points? the GM didn't give much info.

Yawn.

This dude types novels in hopes to rustle a few jimmies.

You can tell who the fail trolls are because they'll dedicate themselves to obscure gaming forums and type walls of text in hopes to troll the lowest common denominator; a few gamers. Pathetic.

Also reported. Again.

Well Lolwat,

If there is too much reading involved for you then apologies around! The purpose of all the quotes while annoying to skim through was to maintain consistency, in the future we can refrain from using so many quotes as to not confuse you :)
