Though I'm 110% sure that was sarcasm, I'm just going to pretend its true.
Does this mean I can insult a League Official/Forum Moderater to his face now?~my rebutal
Well Imp, You asked for it, I do indeed have influence and friendship, at least among the unnamed below, I of course, am risking my butt, since It was my idea in general to start this, and my key plan, though not yet matured, is good enough now, I think some people were just afraid, others disliked the whole alias thing, bah, the best things are done by those who plan them. If you all recieved a PM from Freedom Knight, just PM whatever your opinion is back to me, you know what I'm talking about.
So Imp, whatever you plan to do with this topic, don't be hasty, since I have saved this document in the event you may try to cover it up, so don't even think about using your mod powers to delete/close it. It takes a mere Copy/Paste job to restore it.
Btw. all the numbers are randomized as are the names, so short of banning the whole ASB, you have NO way of knowing who said what, (you aren't squeezing info from me).
So I shall begin.
#1-and so it begins...-"Well the facts you've shown deem to be validating in my eyes. I'm noticing how the ASB seems more like a dictatorship instead of the democracy that Impereon seems to claim. Also the stuff he did to the business was truly unfair for both business workers and the other ASBers, or you can just plainly say it was unfair for the whole ASB. The whole ASB ends up getting screwed up economy wise just for getting rid of yen from the rich. I'm also disappointed in how he handled those battles you've shown me. Impereon shouldn't have been given modship in the first place if you ask me and I'm glad there are some people in this ASB who think so too."
#2-Errr...-"Imp sucks! He doesn't deserve to be a mod. I am on your side, Freedom Knight!!! Lets get Imp demodded!"
#7-???- "Impereon Char and ASHarris are too rigid (frigid biatches), sanctimonious and not compassionate enough. If there must be villains, please split yourselves equally."
#18-still going-"Ummm... Yeah, sounds good to me. I'm all for rebellion and all that stuff, I guess. You've got some nice reasoning there, but it's kind of one-sided... I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with that, every document like this is the same way. Just noting that Imp COULD have reasons."
This one is somewhat for and somewhat against you, I said all opinions, not all in my favor, just to prove it to you.
#20-Bah- "I agree, All of this Raising prises is just a stupid scam.It's making it hard for people with low cash flow to enjoy ASB. Also that part about him rigging the reffing then closing it when he didnt get his way, I believe thats simply abusing his power. If some one cheats even a high ranked official, they don't have the right to bend the rules to there will. Whats the point in rules if only a very few abide by them?"
#21-Meh-"I agree. Put me on your list. I'm new to ASB, but not to battling. I agree with all written against Imp(see Sooty's detaled bit below)."
#22-I bet you want to know- Imp and ASHarris bark out at me for trying give CERTIAN opinions on how ASB works and on how everything Imp and ASHarris ref, aint it so lucky that when their pokemon dies, they just somehow get in a lucky shot of Toxic/Curse/or some other cheap move dont u think?
I do to think Imp is abusing his own rules to his will, barking at any person who replys to something regarding him or ASHarris or anythign else that he wishes.
ANd also, ASB is a community NOT a kingdom for whoever owns it makes changes at his/her will, it takes the whole community to vote on something, not Imp doing what he wishes INCLUDING biasing some certian ppl I KNOW.
The only Reason Imp Got his Mod spot was because of tyger and the other abusin mods of ASB iv seen in the past, The so Called "Vets". Taking action on little things that should not have been done.
The Current Mods should be disregarded and rechosen by the Ppl of ASB in a vote, for ASB should be a fun place not a backstabbing, money eating, Industrail like, baise reffin place for the ASBer's.
For all the opinions i'v gave to ASB and for the some that were in the right place i deserved being barked at and the ones not, This is #22 telling you all that I'm agianst the Current ASB and should be changed for the sake of everyone to fun, not stressing.
#30-*insert unkowing comment here*-"ASB seems to be managed rather badly, with many blatantly stupid and possibly exploitable rules, and too many idiots with too much power. It's an improvement from what it used to be, but is still pretty bad, and something needs to be changed."
#31-Wouldn't YOU like to know- "I agree, some bad mistakes have been made in ASB in the past months, since I joined, I hate the economy, afterall, if this was suppossed to be like real life, then we wouldn't have anything to fight with!!
Some of these mistakes have been made on purpose, which bothers me even more, and I wish for a change."
And now, an opinion SO FRIGGIN LONG, I can't even read the whole thing
#37-Sooty(by his request only, you lucky dog)-
"Thank you, Brave Soul. I have found myself doing much more subtle acts to harass, if not end imp and a few other's reign, if not end it. It is certainly a courageous step forward to rally others. Before I post any opinions... may I have one request. I want to have my name revealed, since what I'm about to say would easily decode me from the numbers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Impereon has indeed displayed a huge array of talents, including battling, arguing, remaining poised no matter what, being sarcastic or persuasive and very logical, and more I'd list that'll probably be repetitive, insulting or some other crap people (*ahem*) would just quote me on and flame me (or rather, debate me on) senseless.
I have consulted some others as well, so I'll say a little about those though I'd just be reiterating their words unless they are away from TPM totally. I would like to begin with them, though there is one I would rather save for comic relief.

They are intelligent creatures as well as it has been seen many times. Therefore I suggest D_K you delete your latest post above mine, and accept the reffing for what it is. As i don't see a reason for it to be re-reffed. As head ref, I find the reffing suitable. Another such outburst and there shall be some consequences to be faced.
Also Sooty, you influenced the ref a few posts above, you don't dictate how an attack works. You, yourself said that a few posts above. I find that truly hypocritical. This is the second such post I’ve seen from you truly disregarding ASB rules. Although they broke them on two different accords, But as of now i am willing to let you off the hook.
Mana_Weed, don't worry your reffing is legal and it will stand w/o any changes being made to it. IF any changes are made by you, i will hold you in contempt and that will not even require a single warning since THAT IS FLAGRANT disregard of the rules.

I have quite alot to say about this. First off, the reason I still have these saved in my computer because I figured they'd come in useful from time to time. I was anticipating something like this. Or maybe it was premonition! *looks at the second quote in this section*
Just some base of my arguments to come later... look on.
==============================================
Some quotes fairly recent. More base and laughter. Kobold lord is Impereon, in case you peeps don't know =)
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kobold Lord: Kobolds were basically the coolest monsters in 1E and 2E AD&D.
Kobold Lord: Yes... Well, the computer games never give kobolds their true majesty.
Kobold Lord: If you ever get a chance, dig up Dragon Mountain for 2E and run it with your friends.
Kobold Lord: It's an entire mountain full of kobolds, and the Mountain is designed to kill L15 parties.
Kobold Lord: And no, they don't use "swarm with infinite cannon fodder and bury them under the corpses of our dead" method used in the computer games.
Sooty: How then? Guerilla tactics? Traps?
Kobold Lord: Dragon Mountain simply makes the kobolds as smart as they logically should be, considering they're supposed to be as intelligent as humans.
Sooty: That'll be pretty impossible socially
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I skipped some of my ramblings on my experience with roleplaying between his messages. I was being subtle, a little suggestive, but I guess he didn't have to catch the drift on the topic...
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sooty: Char says... Ditto: No moves take up zero turns. I remember this sig as well... Tyger smashed it when he was Head Approver. Find a new sig, please.
Kobold Lord: Tyger did tell you to find a new sig... And now, so will we.
Kobold Lord: You always use an action to activate a sig, no matter what.
Sooty: But but but but but =O
Sooty: Does it really matter what tyger says
Kobold Lord: Well... yes. But more because it annoys me when people try to weasel their way around the rulings than anything else.
Sooty: Rulings? What rulings?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There, this links back to the second bigger portion of the sources I have. Only the recent approval tower has the clause stating that all signature moves requires a turn to activate. Before that, they were following strictly to Tyger's rules, but then again, I have not seen them stating anywhere that they are revising the old rules.... more on this later.
==============================================
...
You guessed it, still more.
...
The first and perhaps the biggest problem of this impire and his advocates now are, few likes them. They might not state so directly, but you can be certain some of them are NOT happy at all, how the ASB is degenerate and practically the online incarnate of the broken central-business-district-society-present-in-large-companies. I'm going to start with the problem of the rules set.
While forming a utopian ASB (for us, heh), dear mods, is that there is a lack of sense in many rules now. Some of the rules can be THAT awkward. I know there is a clause stating that there is no sig that can have 100% accuracy, but ask yourself, under the conditions where your target is a dummy doll, sitting there waiting for you to try out and attack on it, how can it EVER miss? This value is not consistent at all. Does it show the accuracy when you do it from 100 metres away, or does it show the accuracy when you do it point blank? Since circumstances decrease the accuracy of a move, then it should not be considered in the signature itself.
Sense, sense, sense. Sense is everything. If I have a signature that involves gathering spit in a pokemon’s mouth and readying itself for battle, shouldn’t the accuracy be base 100%? The accuracy should only be reduced if I do it when moving, if it is confused or tries to do it while a sandstorm is going on. My point? Scrap the whole accuracy thing. Only some impossible refs bother to randomize and make a 90%-accuracy-sig used on a sleeping pokemon miss because it rolled a 1 out of 10. Absolute nonsense. And it allows chance for prejudice. The Impereon I know should know better than to allow such atrocious rules to be carried over from Tyger's rule. Remember again, you never did require our opinions on the rules.
Then again, even the most important rule of all doesn't make sense. 3 Actions per round, 3 Turns per round, 3 x (time in seconds) per round. None of them make sense at all. Fine, this is a forum ASB, this weird system is an 'environment' you have to adapt to, but this isn't logical, and we can’t do anything about it yet.
The economy here is TERRIBLE I tell you. 1 yen for a 1v1 battle vs 120 yen for a ref paycheck/week. Where is this? Vietnam?
The current rules need ALOT of revising, and to do that, you need to consider everyone's opinion and simply ignore the apathetic ones. Many would hate a change just because they fear the change will kill them.
Moving on to the problem of the lack of creativity beacuse of the mod's inability to embrace 'Anime Style'. There is simply not enough incentive to go ANIME. People don't go for an all Same-Type team because
1) They can only think of so many Flying related sigs, they don't wanna screw themselves over.
2) Why do so when vets will probably own you as their collection consists of at least 6 pokemon per type will beat you senseless.
3) No one else does so.
In anime, you can see clearly that the Gyms all have a theme. Their pokemon are 'designed' to suit their gym, their style of battling doesn't involve massive willpower because they are not the protaganists of the anime. Utterly crappy port over version of the Anime by ASB. Alot of pokes are avoided like Yanma, Wobbufet, Smeargle. ASB simply doesn't seem to allow them to perform at all.
Enough of my comments on the problems of ASB itself before I am actually challenged to run ASB myself. If Impereon is unable to share his views with everyone, his thoughts and reasons, he would be unable to appease the crowd. If Impereon is unable to give everyone a say, then the crowd will never fail to displease him.
Now for the more personal rants. I am disgusted by the attitude of some now.
*Not holding back anymore*
For example, Charizard04621. Recently I've had one of my signatures being questioned without a question in the approval tower. She made it very difficult for me by not trying to understand what two of the sentences actually meant and simply put them down. I explained it twice to her and in the end it was syb who approved me.
"I said that can't happen. Case Closed ect ect"
[Disgruntled]
This is exactly what happens around here… How is that democracy? Drawing from other sources, Impereon also said approvers (mods @_@) are not to be trifled with. He's damned right and what did I have to do? I have to act cute, sad, and pathetic to get through. If I went the hard way, even Syberia wouldn't have approved that signature. Well I am not cute, sad and pathetic now because I don't have to bow down here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IamSooty: No animosities between us, please
Charizard04621 : *shrug* Why would there be?

Bull****.
[/Disgruntled]
Look carefully now, many of you keep reiterating Tyger's words and rules, but never fail to disobey them when you feel like it. And once someone sees it's been silently declared as legit/legal, everyone starts to follow.
Impereon began the 'wave' of "Do as you see fit" commands, he also began the "Influencing the ref" technique, the "Reiterate what attacks do normally and would do over here" style. I would kindly repost some of Tyger's quotes.
(Do as you see fit)
I have seen the reffing, it is perfectly alright, Pokemon don't follow the word of their trainer WORD FOR WORD, they can deviate. They are intelligent creatures as well as it has been seen many times. Therefore I suggest D_K you delete your latest post above mine, and accept the reffing for what it is.
(Influencing the ref)
"Dragon_king, sooty and anyone else who tries to influence the ref once again in this battle, you shall be punished or even DQ’ed from the battle."
(Reiterate what attacks do normally and would do over here)
"Also Sooty, you influenced the ref a few posts above, you don't dictate how an attack works."
Apparently, they should all be against the rules which tyger set. Not anymore, I guess.
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charizard04621 : sorry, rules are a lot stricter now
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heh. For the rest of us, luv.
Of course, the more proper commands, techniques, styles and decisions began by Imp like "Doing nothing to recover fatigue" is a clear upgrade in the standard of battling. Thumbs up for that Imp, but thumps down for being so unintentionally? sneaky about the rules.
Next, I want to touch on attitude.
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Impereon:
When you argue with an approver, something like this can happen. So think hard whether you want to argue with an approver.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"something like this" obviously means "nothing good". What caused Impereon to say this was because I argued with IE, an ex-mod of the ASB, over a sig he just continuously said "No" to with no reason, no explanation or whatsoever suggestions attached.
*Elongated cusses about that attitude around 5 lines long*
Fine, so the such incidents doesn't happen anymore. But the horrid attitude is still present in certain people.
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I should purposely skip your post for being such an impatient nuisance, but I take pity on your pathetic plight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't that person, no matter who she is, simply reply that the time taken is usually that long instead of immediately giving a newcomer the frown? Then again maybe the ASB should have some villains to be interesting. Watch your lieges Impy.
...
Still not done :D X_X
...
Finally, my response to the given quotes. My personal comments will be emboldened (watch the puns ).
Impereon:
[Excellent. Optimal results for our gamble, Linux.
I direct the …]
Quoted strait from Imp Himself, In a battle VS DRWS. Now, is it my mistake that it’s the REF who interprets the move, NOT the user? Imp has written the Attack List Beta, so chances are that ONE situation for optimal results exist, Chances are, Imp has made that situation known only to himself, since he seems to have all the cards when it comes to interpreting the attacks list HE wrote.
I already touched on this point along with Tyger's Rulings as well. But this shows another HUGE problem. The attack list is something that everyone should cooperate and give ideas on. Having one person dictate how most attacks occurs and works is a blatent display of power. We're playing on your console/platform, and we don't have many choices because no one else has the ability to start it from scratch and still get everyone else into theirs. We're just using this platform that belongs to TPM, not a few single people. Show that, please.
Now, onto another piece of literature involving Imp and another fellow.
Mozz:
[I have been asked to ref this match. I am not a "ranked" ref, but then again, I don't ref here much. DRWS knows me, as does Impereon, so I have nothing to worry, I'd hope.]
Later, by Imp:
[gamewizard007:
If you mean "rigged" in the sense that I've …]
Funny, How you seemed to have read an unranked refs former matches, and thus know his style. Well, that hasn’t been awarded, apparently, to anyone other than you, now, I’m not trying to say you have a ref working for you, but…
Here comes Impereon's interpretation of things, and this 'brave soul's' interpretation of things. Neither of you are right, and I wouldn't be as well if I told you whoever is working for who. In case none of you realise, refs in the Anime are are tale-weavers, they are the man that waves the red or green flag in a battle, or the announcer of the battle. So if any sort of force dictates how attacks work, it is common sense.
The style of the ref is quite secondary, abuse it if you must, but please don't claim you know how someone is going to ref something. You are a MOD, what you say is going to affect Mozz slightly. Just because you claim you know his style doesn't mean you have an 'in game' advantage, you only have an advantage in this outside world. Just because someone claims his geodude has defeated a blastoise doesn't make his geodude better in the eyes of a ref when he fights a squirtle.
Now In the same battle, also later, by Deck Knight:
[If I may remind Mozz,...]
Next post, by Imp:
[You would do well to start minding your own business, Deck Knight...]
Now, if I may recall and see, Deck Knight was merely stating facts, apparently, Imp’s definition of meaningful must mean in his favor, basically, he’s saying, because Deck Knight is not the participant, any facts working against Imp’s favor should be null and void. Gee… so not flaming in any way (did YOU see any ACTUAL insults), stating facts relevant to the battle, and not agreeing with Imp are apparently SPAM now. Gee, I wonder WHO decided that? (Imp).
Since Imp already decided that explaning how things work is legit, both of them should have an equal chance. Who says spectators can't speak amongst themselves and spectaculate on what is about to happen? The mozz is a spectator as well, taking a neutral stand and simply carrying out the duties of allowing the match to MOVE ON.
Deck knight shouldn't have said "If I may remind Mozz", though. It probably made Imp feel as if Deck Knight wanted to directly influence the ref. But then again, if Mozz would be affected, adding that line or not wouldn't make a difference (especially after he claims he knows mozz's reffing style). I want to remind Imp again, that his posts are the MOD'S POSTS. Puts a new meaning to the word 'influence' eh?
Later, by Deck Knight(with quote from mozz):
[quote:

I'll ref it how I see it, not taking into account any post which doesn't contain the attacks for this upcoming round.
Reffing soon.
Tada, the mozz showz hiz powerz. But if he said "I've decided to be influenced." He'll be the joke of the day
P.S LIKE DUH, who wouldn't say that.
Sludge Bomb: The user spits out a glob of darkish LIQUID. This glob is viscous and hangs together well enough to be spat a fairly long way, where it proceeds to splatter. This LIQUID is very acidic, and anything that comes in contact with it may be either burned or poisoned. Good damage. Good accuracy.
Straight from the Attack List Beta. Now Mozz, you can use the Raikou special, or use Imps very own description (it is, after all, his battle), it's really up to you.]
Deck Knight's practically whistling over here =). Impereon uses the attack list against his opponent, spectators uses the attack list against him. Ironical.
Now, the last bit of evidence for this part, from Imp:
[Hmm...
Referee harassment, verbal abuse, lying about the league rules, spamming, match interference, poor sportsmanship...]
Referee Harassment, Verbal abuse, Spamming, and Match interference, and Poor sportsmanship, That can all just be regarded as about Deck Knight’s post stating facts of the definition of Sludge Bomb, apparently, all those rules are broken as soon as Imp doesn’t get his way with the laws of physics. As for Lying about the League rules, The ref is free to interpret attacks how he wishes, Deck Knight was just stating what would happen if this were to occur according to REAL physics, not Imp physics.
Someone tell me how the hell ASHarris will EVER disagree with our Impy *faints*. (Quote of the day, anyone?)
Impereon just used his MOD POWERS again in a MOD'S POST. Tyger's post in my battle was just an omen. This reflection shows clearly the back of the mod's palm, and his ability to swat. Now closing the topic is really pretty insulting to yourself Imp. I swear you probably regretted it after you thought about it calmly.
Lastly, by ASHarris:
[Can I not be sick in peace...]
Hmmm, now, Imp seems to be the only one evading trouble here, I wonder why, maybe its because he is a Mod, and not subject to any other rules and regulations, it appears he was the one doing the insulting earlier.
Someone tell me how the hell ASHarris will EVER disagree with our Impy *rolls eyes*. (Quote of the week, anyone?)
Let us also look at some professional grade stuff that affects EVERYONE, like, the Economy.
Ever since Imp was instated, prices have been upped severely, and WHY? Because a FEW ASBers had LOTS of money. Now, he ups the prices so only the rich can pay, what does that leave for people who have less than 20? Nothing. In fact, his New “Free-for-All” Tourney, he bluntly stated it was to throw the rich peoples money in a money abyss, and with a 500¥ entry fee and 200¥ per salvage ball, guess who COULDN’T enter the tourney. It was probably you. Thus, “Free” and “for All” was a pretty misleading title. In fact, Imp has set up a “money abyss” for this.
At the cost of eating up all the currency, Imp is going to give them Über TMs, legendaries or some overpowered crap in those salvage balls. Or otherwise just artifacts to show that the person once had alot of money and is now a pauper. Anyone who doesn't pour money into that abyss will probably find his account resetted.
This is the first step away from the pathetic economy present in ASB now, so I applaude the two mods for their effort. Hopefully it pulls through, because from what I see now, it's a remake of the lengthy 1-year GLT-like event that involves the currency instead of the Gym aspect of ASB. A little singlish to describe this... "Wait Long Long"
Imp:
[Just to make a couple things clear...]
There you have it, the money goes to a money abyss.
At least none of us has to burn with the money.
To close, Imp says he is the harborer of democracy, so, with your votes, he shall see what his “democracy” thinks of him. He may act like everyone has had their fair say, but I don’t recall the poorer people (or even the richer) asking for the prices to be increased exponentially. I don’t recall anyone voting on whether Imp should be exempt from his own rules, and I certainly don’t recall voting for Imp to impose the fear of voicing our opinions against his rule! Its time for the Impire to come down!
Hehe, maybe I won't respond to this statement =)

Sooty: Impereon you need to revise ASB from scratch. Problems include...
1) Attitude
2) Lack of true democracy
3) IMPOSSIBLE rules
4) Lack of Sense and Anime Style"
Done, now, this may come back to bite me, but Sooty does a MUCH better job at explaining things than I do. Still, however, is the fact that I needed my plan to show the feelings expressed, and Imp, unless you have a problem with humans having feelings, you can't do much, when the truth comes out, it hurts Imp.
#42-Well, I'm posting it, how should I know?- "In my personal expierience, I have found Imp to be rather pompous, overbearing, and seem to be exempt from his own rules. He has Moderator duties, his duties are to make sure his people are happy, and he has not done this well, in my opinion. He is also supposed to be the police, however, he tends to police people who disagree with him at any level, and favor those who "give bribes", so to speak. He seems to care more about the people with power, and stomp on people without it. And since he can grant powers, he can basically pick and choose who to stomp out at his whim."
#53-No more freebies for you Xp-
"I certainly agree. Although I haven't been in the ASB for a while, I have experienced my fair share of his... well... power-hungry attitude. After looking at the evidence in this PM, I can tell he hasn't changed. He really needs to shape up. Just because he can look smart on a Pokémon forum has nothing to do with if what he's doing is right. And it's not. I don't understand why he was picked to be modded in the first place. I'm guessing the mods at that time were intimidated by the way he tries to appear in his posts. Well, it doesn't fool me and my friends. If anyone, I hope Impereon sees this and knows... He needs to stop. His behavior is outrageous."
That will do it for now. Anyone else with opinions, either PM me or post it here, I have created Random Numbers for the whole lot, or, be brave and post it here. Imp. I'm the fish to fry, I have people behind me, and I'm the one who's taking the fire first! So come at me, if you will! Closing/Deleting cannot save you, I have friends who can easily repost this.
Mad props to all who gave me their opinion(whomever you may be), my accomplises, who shall go unnamed, and all of ASB, for making this a place worth fighting for!
Now. The final matter is at hand, Like I said, feel free to post, or PM me your opinion, if you don't want Imp threatening you, The truth WILL be known to him. Also thanks to Freedom Knight, my crafty alias, I didn't actually SEND the PM's, but I am the author. Imp, feel free to do what you wish, but this topic shall not die.
So Imp, you saw the beginning, there is my rebutal, do what you will, but I shall not be silenced untill all is well.
