I mean not to offend, KeyGuy, but Duck _is_ the one you have the closest relationship with. It's already been confirmed that you two often talk; of what, we don't really know. That's often why people in positions of power often can't afford to be friends with anyone; familiar or friendly, but not close friends unless that person is a respected co-GM or the like. Duck doesn't exactly have the best rep with most of us, despite being one of the longest roleplayers in the series. Each time, he's been rather... Mary Sue/Gary Stu, what with the perfect magical powerful nations.
We're writing something new, trying different things. I don't particularly like how, while we all, including you, KeyGuy, even though you have humans every time, are writing new things, different technologies and new concepts, Duck has been pretty much the same as he first started. He's improved a bit, yes, but I've not seen much challenging bits from him. He can do much better writing, I know that, he just doesn't want to step out of his comfort zone, as he said, and won't do it for anything. He wants to play perfect nations who get what they want. After all, he had been planning to take over the GM's nation and control it, and it backfired horribly. And he was mad at the very suggestion of him not winning. What rage must have burned when he had his fleet annihilated?
The problem I have is that if someone else were to act as Duck, they probably would be banned. If they did not talk to you, Keyguy, on a regular basis and formulate plans and stuff with you, then they would probably be banned. Nearly banned three times- no one else has, except me, I believe, if I remember correctly. I've been banned for... what was it, I forget. Would anyone like to tell me what I was banned for again? Compare it to what duck has done, too. If you all think that duck losing GM powers is all fine and good, then I'll shut up and watch duck from the corner of my eye, but no longer pursue the topic of anything relating to duck. But I do have a problem with both what I think might be unfair favoring, and about duck's Mary-Sue Gary Stue nation copy-pastes.
Shoot me if I'm evil for continuing to pursue, but I'm the one trying to use the pile driver. If that means I have to hit it a dozen times to get the point through, then so be it. If I must stop beforehand due to intervention, then so be it.
