Allright.

I would love to be an agent. Agent Corn. Uh-Huh.

All right, I'll get you trained real quick, in a bit though.

All right, meet me in my server...

count me in clubbie! ive been waiting a long time 4 this... as an agent or trainer, i dont care, but the world needs our assistance, and i'd be glad to lend my help.

Dear Flynn,

I would like to join the training branch.

Sincerely

Picard

Well we need some more people in the protection branch, so, you can be an agent - unless you would prefer to be a trainer of course.

Allright then.

And who decides if someone is a *bad person*? How can you trust people not to just spread bad rumors? Does everyone who applies get into this org? If not, what are the requirements and who decides who meets them? If all who apply get in, What do you do with *bad members*? Just seems a bit too complicated to work. 

Those who ask personal info, do rather mean things, the usual stuff that will get someone hated, or avoided by those who have common sense will be what shows us if the person is bad or not.

 

 

Trusted, and well-known players, known to be good are accepted. We will investigate rumors, but only assume they re true when we have seen them ourselves (multiple agents)

 

 

 

A rumor about x being bad, warrants us to warn people to "Rumor has it that x is somewhat dangerous, be somewhat careful around her/him"

 

One agent seeing x being bad, unless it is a super-trusted agent warrants us to warn people to "be careful around x, we think he is dangerous"

 

 

Many agents, or a super-trusted agent seeing x being bad, warrants us to warn people to "Be very careful, boot, and try to avoid x, we know he's dangerous"

 

 

 

 

 

We only accept someone who applies if he/she is seen as a trusted, real player. Bad members are simply expelled from the organization (officially), and added to the list of dangerous people.

But whats the limit? Where do you draw the line for both sides? It just feels a bit counter productive to me to be running around barking at people. 

Flynn! i'm part of it, too, right? you and I were the ones who planned it.

 

I did pass training, after all.

BTW i'd love to be in the protection branch, there's vulnerable people out there to be protected.

It is not like that actually - lets say an agent is monitoring a server, when a known pedophile joins, they will tell the other players that the person is a pedophile, and tell them NOT to give ANY info to the person - also they will ask that the owner of the server boot them. With cloners, they tell people simply to boot the cloner, before they start chaos.

 

 

Noobs, and newbies are a different matter - unless the noob is a menace (as in sharky, collins, and others (NOT malcon, he is just a bit... misguided)) we will simply offer to help the noob not do things such as NQSsing, and others - same with any newbies.

 

 

The line is drawn at personal info, and/or at how utterly disruptive the person is. 

 

 

By menace, and utterly disruptive I mean, saying extremely bad things, that have to do with..... Baby making lol. Also, causing utter chaos (that is, of course, unless utter chaos is wanted by the players, for fun lol), being rude or obscene, major spamming such as sharky's crap, things in that utter, horrible range. The f word is not advised, but what can we do about it? Aside from my personal opinion on things, they are saying a rather common word, it's where words start getting related to... Baby making that it starts being a problem.

 

 

I hope that explained where we "draw the line"

 

Allow me to explain from now on lol.

 

And that was babaG, not lizzle LOL

Of course you are! lol

yay

maybe call this group "CP" for civil protection?

 

 

oh yah, some repeated background info on me: i was a cloner long ago, i blackmailed, and was REALLY mean. so uh, let me in if you trust me for this duty.

can i be a trainer? i would like to help the newbies if they listen. please let me know if i can!

You have to help them even if they don't listen LOL. But sure!

You can be in man! Sure, I like the CP thing!

Thanks!

thanks clubbie

 

 

 

 

 

 

                  

I actually think you're PERFECT for the training branch, considering your MAD... RAD..... Ummm... SAD skillz!

 

 

lol, no, I really mean it, you have great skill, valuable for training.

All members, please pay close attention to this post!

 

at 1:00:00 GMT I am hosting a PRIVATE game under the code macnotypantsnorton that's MAC-noty-PANT-Snorton (all lower case, and no dashes). All protection branch Agents are to report to that game for training!

I might be eating during the server, but i'll hurry

 

(cue adrenaline rush dnB music)

 

I want to cultivate good players ("more than moving targets") myself so I have been giving tips on flying and server settings for quite a while after playing someone that proves to be earnest.

 Of course, I have encouraged (and yes, barked at) players to only shoot quarry since my n00b days in 1.6.  I recently had what seemed to be a breakthrough conversation with the now-infamous -300 points mr. and I think he may be getting it........MAYBE!

I also preach internet safety when the opportunity arises. 

Although I support the concept shared in this post, I won't be joining this new organization but despite my rep as just a meanie, I do my part as best I can.

I can't find the game! D:

The best tip I can offer when dealing with players sharing or asking for personal info in a game is to first ask them if they have heard of STRANGER DANGER. That tends to get their attention.

I'm probably most known for my safety post and lectures to players than anything else to be honest, and I also take time to help a new player learn something if they ask me. But I do not support an org being formed in order to do this, I believe that simple knowledge and word of the mouth are what we need, not an org...so I will not be joining

So, you're kinda allied, but not in this group?

I really don't support the group, but I like the fact something is finally being done to improve safety measures.

oh okay

I dont know if im going to join either, but i have a question for dude. If it gets people excited about helping then why not? It may be a bit flashy but if it helps then why not? Im not saying you should join but im going to say its a good idea. Plus it helps to have a combined effort. This helps everyone so im gunna say im all for it until i see otherwise.

I'd also like to say that people like the dude are fine and shouldn't be thought badly of just because they dont want to join. They do enough 'charity work' on their own and if they dont want to join this thing its fine by me. You can all help others without being in a group but i think a group kinda gets people more excited and eager to help. So long as your helping, it shouldn't matter how.

very well said, and I do agree

you raise good points baba...

Why not, can't knock it until you try it

I will not join though...

Thank you baba, that was one of my fears, why would people who speak the same message be thought of or treated because they're not in this group, thank you

This seems like a really good idea! I'd love to be a part of it, although I'm not sure which branch to join. I know I'm qualified for both of them...Maybe I could be be on call for either one, or whichever branch needs a trainer or protector. 

Boy, I'd love to be in part of this... I've just got way too many projects at this time (and for a while in the future) I'll go for a temp for now, if you'll take me that is.

this sounds like fun.  may i join, please

No problem. 

And fun. Sure! Why not? Helping can be fun, dont make it a chore.

You have a lot of talent so id say a trainer but its all up to you.

"You see, in every task that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and *snap* the job's a game! And every task you undertake, becomes a piece of cake. A lark! A spree! Its very plain to see... That... a... spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down..." -Mary Poppins

Thanks, I'll remember that lol.

I second that.

Yeah... Perhaps take shifts? lol

LOL @ fc!

I totally agree! This is about having fun too yah know!

Hey, why not right?

Training branch, yes.

Oh I'm protection branch.

INdeed, I can't train today, my computer is giving me issues...

i'm getting some issues too (not similar to flynn's)

I'd love to be in the training branch, Flyclub, if that's possible.  If it isn't, I understand.  I'm not on a lot, so I don't think I'd be good in the protection branch.  Thank you for your consideration.  :)

OOOO THATS SOUNDS COOOL!

it is cool.

I ALWAYS MAKE PEOPLE NOT N00BS!!!!!

...

I would like to be trained to be an agent of the Protection Branch. I will be online more often then before since its summer, and I'm a member of Elite. Could I please join?

I want to be a Agent please.

I'd like to be an agent.

I'm on all the time anyways. :D

BAM!

hmmmmm it does sound interesting but I do that on my spare time anyways.....

*deleted*

I don't know what i should be... there is one big problem though ican't join your game flyclub! Maybe you could pm me the training program. i don't know how usefull i will be but i'd like to enlist as an agent seeing as there is less of them then trainers

*you didn't see anything*..............

What you people are getting involved with here could be very dangerous. My High School teacher was accused of being a pedophile and even when his accuser admitted that all of the accusations were totally false, this teacher lost his job and was unable to work as a teacher again because of what others falsely assumed about him.

 

flyclub, you are trying to do good here but the result could be disastrous in ways you can't even imagine.

Vigilante groups such as this are frowned upon by law enforcement agencies everywhere and are even ILLEGAL in some places and you should stop this immediately before a member of this group makes a horrible mistake and ruins some innocent person's life or gets harmed themselves. Everyone ask your parents and the local police department if hunting pedophiles on the internet is wise or safe for you to participate in.

 

flyclub is NOT qualified to train anyone on the subject of pedophiles. 

 

I never official joined CP but i would like to quit. I am also quiting the Elites and any other clubs i may be in.

maybe the protection branch should end because of what you said kruncher, but i think the temperaries and the trainers are ok, by the way flyclub i would like to change to a trainer. anyway this si flyclubs choice on where this organisagtion goes.

spitfire

I don't want to call out anyone so i will leave names blank.

 

One day, _____ Found the true age of a well known, and great player. This player was in no way a pedophile or anyone who would ever possibly harm anyone, but none the less, _____ overreacted (in my eyes, though it wasn't entirely their will) and banned this person from their servers and publicly humiliated them. This person, who was recently a great player on the game and was well respected by everyone, had to hide under a false name. This person is now gone, and why? Because he was born before you. He is a great person who doesn't deserve that treatment but it's too late now. Please do not ask me who this person was, i will not answer truthfully. Flyclub, I am not telling you to do anything, just think about what we have said please. Thank you.

thats all true...

maybe agents shouldnt deal with the pedophiles.

although i do still want something to do other than just play around, i could be a trainer instead, if thats ok.

Please keep in mind that mine and MacDane's comments are NOT anti-flyclub.

 

Dane and I simply agree that pedophile hunting should be deleted from the CP agenda because of unlikely but, quite possible dangers to all involved, including the Mars Explorer game and Home Site it's self.

so would tha get rid of he agents completely or just limit them to detering noobs and warning people about personal info?

 

i agree that the cp should just be getting rid of noobs and warning about giving out personal info

I think the model club is the one that enlightens the players to the dangers of giving out info and also helps them become better people and break them of their bad playing habits, thus letting them continue on and teach other players how to be good. Like a chain of people helping each other get to be the best they can. However, if you are not in a club, this doesn't exclude you from continuing the chain, always try to help newbies and noobs alike, but dont wear yourself out doing it.
