Look, Our group has gotten to the point where arguing is commonplace. to solve this, i believe we should nominate a leader to keep us from ripping each others head off. The leader will have control over the aspects of recording smash, naruto, and any other game we choose. the leader will finalize a date of a meeting, help decide what GK dates, and generally keep the peace. the leader will not however have control over us unless tempers flare They will also try to settle any dispute in the group with a peaceful solution unless the given reaction is justified. they will not control any aspect of our lives outside of ricochet-X. A democratic system still will exist if we could do this, it'll just help keep us from killing one another.
Thank you for your time,
Colloff
P.S. Sorry joe, but we need a leader within bike riding distance of one another's houses. sorry man

Well, IMO, I can't do everything else but I can keep the peace when worst comes to worst. So I would only be a good peace maker, not a leader.

No offense, but this is a rather retarded topic.
Considering who's website this is..
Also who's forums this site belongs to..
And the fact that Sean does most of the work..
A Democratic system? Why do things get so funked up,
we're just a group of friends doing stuff for fun. I for
one don't care. Peaceful solution and justified action,
pfft, no.
If people would stop getting all annoyed and
jealous over small crap, then there wouldn't be
a problem.
SEAN already is the "leader" if there is one.
What's wrong with us just being friends and having
fun?

Sorry joe, but we need a leader within bike riding distance of one another's houses. sorry man *sigh, sigh, and sigh again* I already do EVERYTHING you mentioned. A "leader" as such is one of those things I've taken responsibility for awhile. I feel it's one of those topics that shouldn't be mentioned. As I make this list, keep in mind that these are all true facts. 1.I've spent my whole life during this past summer on RX. 2. I got us together as a group and got everything organized from the start. 3. Every weekend, I've been the one to organize what goes on. This is mainly because my house is often the best place to gather at. 4. I own the equipment (Ex: camera) that is necisary. 5. I am able to devote all my time to working on RX. This is kinda important when it comes to making the videos. 6. Most people know us as Gox's crew. This is kinda how it was introduced. I really do know a lot of people over the internet. Just the other day, I was spreading the joy of our vids over DC++. 7.I can communicate to fellow ssbm fans the best because I've been reading up on the game and other's opinions about the game for a LONG time. This means I can Represent our group the best. A leader would need to do this, but the leader also kinda needs to be the guy in charge of the site and everything. 7. I have the online resources to keep everything going (Ex: programs and editers) 8. I own these forums. 9. I own the website AND pay for the website. RX was made as the stars of the website. 10. I have the finacial ability to spend money when it is absolutely necisarry for the group. Hell, I even bought that digital audio recorder for $70 which was never any good and couldn't be returned. An example of how far I will go for the group. So why must argue?! We are friends. I even have some advice. I would like to ask all of you to keep this in mind when you take actions. Before you react, think on how you would feel in the other person's shoes. Take a look at the situation from both sides of the arguement. It's basic social skills. When I read the title of this topic, I knew it would only cause more arguing. I knew it was that time to make the page long post to keep things under control. I really do hate it how everyone argues so much lately. I care about this group. I want to keep things together. On a side note, I don't care what you guys think of me as. I've never had the title of "leader" before, so I'm not saying that title should be given out now. In closing, if I'm not a leader right now, then I feel sorry for the responsibility that the REAL leader would have to take on.  PS: I agree completely with Eric's post. I'm not mad at you or anything Justin, I'm just trying to set things right. Amen. |

Actually sean, its been me as much as you to organize meetings. if i dont recall, it was ME who suggested about 1/2 of the dates we meet for GK and such. all i know is that you dont really do much Peace Keeping. you b1tch about a lot of stuff such as the whole camera issue yesterday. Owning the website dont make u an automatic leader. it just means you have money to use. hell if you want we can all give you a damn dollar a month and settle that issue. Also about the forums, you dont own them. proboards do and they are letting you use it for free. There is noting wrong with having fun but i know sooner or later eirc is gunna piss me off and i will have to punch him which i dont want. I also know that chris is gunna piss someone off when they have a bad day and they will get into an argument and it'll be the same thing all over again. basically i want to keep us from killing each other. we already argue too much as it is over the stupidest things. although this is one of them, it is a nessicary thing to argue over. The ONLY reason your house is the best place to go sean is because ur mom isnt going through chemo, and you JUST happen to have some cameras at ur house and every1 is too lazy to get a bike and come over my house. colby is only allowed 2-3 ppl in at once, and erics house is big enough for everyone but no1 ever goes over there!, jacob also has a camera but since doug is an ass no1 can go over there if we wake him up. I will not be called a member of "gox's crew" i will be called a member of the R-X crew. the name signifies domination which i dont like thank-you-very-much. Eric, you seem to forget its YOU who gets annoyed at the small crap just as much as i do. so that paragraph has no relevancy...Im not mad at any1 or trying to piss any1 off. i just wanna keep the arguments down. look, im having a fairly stressful time right now and all this damn bullsh1t is the LAST thing i need right now. I'm not going for sympathy, im just asking for a tone-down in all the crap if you all think a leader is out of the question. Oh and sean, about the audio recorder...that was your fault for not checking what it came with ;-)

This is like a continuation of your other thread.
"Only Safe Place" or whatever.
I'll start off with the easiest thing to cover.
Colby, Chris, and Colby all live in that neighborhood,
so its generally easier to be at one of their houses.
As for your comment of how I let small things bug me.
Go ahead and lay down ONE valid example where
this has happened. I remember laying down on Jared's
bed watching you guys argue to up over something
which I don't really remember anyway.
Sean has the camera, and he was the one who
was using the camera to record the videos and put
it on his computer in the first place. He also spends
a really long time working the website and putting
the videos on the internet.
The only fight going on today was over Chris,
and you being at Colby's house playing Naruto and
such instead of coming over to Sean's house and
finishing Volume 6 like he asked. He was being the
"leader" when he had a priority to finish off Volume 6
as the best volume ever. Then I think the fact that
you had to leave soon kind of put another damper
on the situation. He didn't understand why you couldn't
just come over to his house and finish off the videos.
If you are really having a stressful time. Stop creating
bullsh*t. If you stop generating it, then there would
be no problem. But no, we have another topic where
you say that something needs to be changed, while
most of the rest of us are confused at to why it even
exists. So just stop making a big production over
this small stuff and move off of it.
Colby was grounded for hitting his brother, so we
couldn't really make Naruto videos or anything like that
at Sean's house with just Chris, Sean, and I. So
its just a disappointment that we have to wait another
two weeks or whatever to get you over here to do
anything.

i can give you an example.
Drinking urine in the desert if youre out of water. You made a big deal out of a simple comment that wasnt directed at you. This is not a continuation, you just havent read my previous posts well enough.
me you and joe DONT live in the neighborhood. it's a half/half scenario. its not easier, its just faster. it was also a simple comment, sometimes i dont feel like riding my bike for 15 minutes if i hurry, to go over only for a couple hours. i know no1 else has time limits so it puts constraints on me. Look eric, sean spends MOST of his time putting on vids. i give him that much, but i offer to help him and offer and offer because i also have movie maker but he always refuses, so that makes it his own fault that he has so much work. but we also ALWAYS head over seans house for videos when we COULD have been in colby's. it is nice for a change of scenery every once in a while and not to have to be doing the traveling, even if it is one block. it's a time saver. the only reason i say something needs to be changes is because of THIS. look at what you typed, look at what I typed, WHAT do you call that? If you didnt notice, every1 had to b1tch at you b4 u 1 on 1'd me when it wasnt even recorded (god that was funny) it is arguing whether you like to acknolege that fact or not!

Ha! Ha ha ha! You say I didn't read your posts
close enough before? Go check that thread, and
ACTUALLY read what I said. Don't pretend to read.
So don't go on saying that I didn't read all of your
crap. Or even try to pretend like you read my old
posts. Because I have a nifty lil quote of yours
here, just in case you try. ^^
i don't feel like reading all 3 because i don't want any more controversy =)
Can I buy some crack from you?
Seriously.
You must have some.
About that .. Piss .. thing .. >_>
You were talking to Colby about drinking your own
piss in a desert. I was making fun of you guys. I wasn't
having a conniption like you like to have.
Its called sarcasm! You need to take a class on it.
Don't go to spanish camp, go to sarcasm camp! You'll
hear a lot more of that than spanish! ^^
I mean, BY GOD, you guys were taking your urine
SERIOUSLY! My question was .. "WHY THE HELL,
are you guys talking about pee?" That's not a valid
point. That's just up in your head.
Sean, can't you just lock this already? I mean, seriously.
Justin just keeps arguing against himself. 
Time for a new spring on this topic!
Justin arguing against himself. ^_^
YJ = Yesterday's Justin
J = Today's Justin
J: Look eric, sean spends MOST of his time putting on vids. i give him that much, but i offer to help him and offer and offer because i also have movie maker but he always refuses, so that makes it his own fault that he has so much work.
YJ: The leader will have control over the aspects of recording smash, naruto, and any other game we choose.
-----
J: we also ALWAYS head over seans house for videos when we COULD have been in colby's. it is nice for a change of scenery every once in a while and not to have to be doing the traveling, even if it is one block. it's a time saver.
YJ: colby is only allowed 2-3 ppl in at once

J: If you didnt notice, every1 had to b1tch at you b4 u 1 on 1'd me when it wasnt even recorded
YJ: The leader will have control over the aspects of recording smash,

Justin, keep posting so I can make this list even longer.

you seem to like causing controversy...i dont think i need to reply to any of your further posts in this or most topics from here-on-in except this one.
-Okay, having control doesnt mean you have to hoard the work to yourself if help is offered.
-the day you all came over was one of the rare exceptions.
-that last one made no sense. basically you just helped support me on that one.
-End of Justin's Responses to prevent further annoyance on the part of Duo, Gox, and DocZeroRX-

gox doid you do some housecleaning? i distinctly rember more posts after that one. anyway... sure, we might claim responsibility for the site, but gox pays for it. he runs the operation, regardless of his reasons to do it. there is no reason why we ALL cant simply GROW UP and deal with it. jesus christ. this is a remake of the no safe place topic but worse. it demands a single person to watch over a fwe friends. its not neccasary... if we were fifty people we might need one- but we arent so we dont. lets just MOVE ON. its a game. we dont really need to endlessly start shit like jerry springer on the net and start bringing up controversial issues that we really dont need at all... it is starting to annoy me that we need to argue over stupid shit over the internet. justin- you may think that you dont start shit and mabey you dont, but you sure as hell make it worse. i dont mean it against you but it getts annoying sumtimes.
