Doug, it's well known that the mods here are fascists.

Martian relentlessly trolls me in Clash Royale.

Galleri has sworn openly to being a fascist.

Dark Demon tried to silence me on Discord - he's afraid of my truths!

Gerdler...isn't that baby food? Sounds fascist!

Vote TAN 2024 for Mod, and I promise to clean these forums up and get rid of the corruption plaguing them!

loooool I was about to be really pissed at BH but this is just funny (he didn't actually touch the wiki page, he probably just updated the html in his browser console and screenshotted it).

I don't recognize Martian's authority, can I talk to someone else?

Can the mods please make a Daycare forum so the kids in this thread can go there, while the adults stay on AT?

> TAN for pdm president

No thanks, not again.

Has anyone else noticed the poor moderation on these forums for the past 20 years?

If you elect me mod, I promise to boost the user base by 500%, reduce troll posts from Josey and BlackHole by 100%, and bring Mehul to justice for selling EE to Swirve.

Vote TAN for mod 2024!

Can someone explain to me why I should be calling Josey a racist, bigot, and groomer? And can I add anything to this list, like possibly a horse-whisperer?

Figures he only has white ones and no countries of color.

If everyone consistently tells you to stfu, even the new guy who hasn't been here even a week and has no idea who you are, then maybe *you* are the problem.

No wonder no one likes you, it's because you never shut the fluff up.

I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt but now I know why no one takes you seriously.

...didn't you just suicide? Isn't that what your latest troll thread is about?

*help kill suiciders

I am an advisor in PDM at the moment and do not dictate policy. When I was running PDM maybe 10 years ago, I'd say yes, we'd be helping kill the suiciders. Different times though.

As I understand it, aren't you also a suicider?

It's really weird to see this animosity between rival suiciders.

By "we", I mean Paradigm. There is no "combined entity" - the other PDM tag will be transitioning over to the new one. A unified PDM was never in question. M4D is not part of PDM.

Paradigm will not associate or support suiciders. They will be killed on sight. I'm not sure how it is nowadays, but back in the day, we even used to help suiciders who hit other clans.

Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing more of that.

You may have been right about some of that before (I'm honestly still out of the loop), but there's a new sheriff in town, BlackHole. We will not support any suiciders, period.

Doug sells his bushels below private market value, if you know what I mean.

Doug was fired from his job as a waiter because he kept asking about all the tips.

Coalie wants to play skin flute in Doug's orchestra.

Haven't you seen any zombie movies? It doesn't matter how slow they are if you have 100 chasing you because 1 cop pulls you over and has to call in backup because he fears for his life.

Yes but all they have to do is get you on the ground before they unload their magazine into you to get you to stop resisting. :D

Don't be a fool, cops are trained to shoot when you turn your back on them!

There's two things Doug always talks about, and those are guns and "guns". Sounds like Coalie might give him trouble with both.

You know what, Josey? You're right.

Doug, thank you for everything you've done for Paradigm. You helped keep it alive, you helped it grow, you provided a space for people to laugh and have fun and play the game in peace. I'm very grateful for your contributions to the clan, and continuing to make Paradigm a great clan for everyone to play in. It's my home, it's your home, and no matter what words we may exchange, it will always be *our* home.

With heartfelt gratitude, thank you Doug, and thank you Josey for calling it out.

Crooked Coalie at it again

You have no power here, Coalie the Grey.

mrford is a legend.

Anything TAN says is worthy of telling the entire server.

Did you know I had a baby recently? Also worthy of telling the entire server!

The following message is my personal understanding. I am not a current Paradigm leader nor do I speak on behalf of Paradigm.

That said, there's no actual drama. Since Doug owns the PDM Discord server, he has repeatedly deleted posts and would gaslight people. He's deleted whole conversations, deleted a forum that funnily enough was for members to speak their minds, repeatedly went against Drow (who is President). He's been accused of running multis and of giving out country numbers to suiciders (these allegations haven't been proven, but given his erratic behavior, it's believable).

There is no actual drama, no coup, nothing like that. Drow is exercising his authority as PDM President to remove Doug from leadership. Since Doug owns the server, that unfortunately means moving to a different one where he doesn't have any authority or control.

The new Paradigm tag is the official one run by Drow. The old PDM tag is still run by Doug - we're waiting for those members to move over to the official one at this point.

If Doug were to resign from his position and aid in a painless transition, he would be allowed to join back up with Paradigm with the understanding that leadership roles are forever off limits.

So no drama at all, just a bit of spring cleaning.

Once again, this message is strictly my own understanding and is NOT an official Paradigm communication nor stance.

Paradigm is the actual Paradigm tag now, so have at it!

There's a reason BlackHole was impersonating me!

o7

Just so we're clear here, this is NOT a coup in any way, shape or form.

Drow is President of Paradigm. It is his right to remove any leadership position as he sees fit. I won't get into the whys or what happened - that's up to Drow as leader of Paradigm.

I just wanted to clear the air that this is definitely not a coup, because Drow is still President of Paradigm. I won't address the silly conspiracy theory nonsense.

Cheers.

On behalf of cult leader Drow, all your land are belong to us.

Wait BlackHole you ran multis??? I've no sympathy for you anymore!

This may come as a shock to most of you, but I didn't list my country above, this is in fact mine:

The Arabian Nightmare (#481)

*surprise pikachu face*

Say one thing for Josey, she/he/they know the difference between libel and slander!

I'm on Team Josey now. SuperFly must apologize immediately!

Doug is gatekeeping 69ing now??? When did that become a gay term??

He's lifted the temp ban, so don't send any more chems to Doug. Just nukes.

Not sure about Mercs, but SOL have historically been trigger-happy and will start a fight over nothing, or even because they're simply bored.

You should let the Free Market decide your fate!

Pffft are you Head of AT, hmmmm?

Doug gave me a temp ban on Discord. Send all your chems to him!

Jesus H.W. Christ, I've been here a week and we already have:

1) A person who can't let the past from another server go.
2) A person who keeps bringing up the Free Market as if that applies at all to this crappy game.
3) A person talking about NPC virtue signaling.
4) A squabble between clans that seems pretty petty and somewhat personal.

...I've missed you, AT.

As spiritual leader of Paradigm, I've decided to give back to the community. The following countries can be considered farmland:

The Arabian Nightmare (#481)

You're welcome!

[NOTE: This post has been edited to remove the random-ass country names I put in here because people be complaining for some reason. I've put mine instead.]

Well fluff.

Slagpit is so dumb when someone asked him about his family tree, he went outside to look for it.

NEXT!

You can't spell SmeLly AGed armPIT without Slagpit!

Check. Mate.
