Wait, so is everyone justifying him botting OR WHAT ?


Just as fucking bad, should all be banned.

If "Joe" was banned there would not be a "LOL" topic. If "Joe" were banned half of you wouldn't care and the ones that do care are probably other "Joes." Vandango isn't a Joe, he was a Mod, a figure head, a symbol, and he did a splendid job. It was a slow and steady devolution done a slippery slope. It all culminated today when He banned himself then MSNed SG with a picture of his bot and multi-clent. Vandango did his job well, ended it on a bad note, but ended it with dignity. YES, I said it: DIGNITY. He did not hide it, he did not lie, and he did not try to weasel himself out of the situation. For that he earns my respect but his actions in game will not be easily forgiven.


The reason this topic and the other were made is because of the way Vandango acted on the forums. For a long time he acted legit on the forums, whether or not he was I dont know, but to see someone go from hardcore legit to botter is a big change.


It was a process that took nearly 9 months. From Hardcore Legit, to neutral, then bot support, and finally (today) botting. Vandango really struggled to stay legit and the only reason he did it was because of SRF. He has had many weak moments but he could not hold the floodgates back any longer. This time they collapsed.

He actually posted in the EL that the only thing that was keeping him from botting was SRF. The more I think about it the more I feel like I saw this coming.

As i said before as well, i do not justify, nor approve of him botting, and am quite frankly disappointed in the lad.

However, what im pushing for is for people to give him a little respect for what he did as Vandango the Green Name, not Vandango the SRO Player. Trying to avoid this becoming the same as the topic which just had to be locked...

Internet, serious business. Heh. Also if he defines sinning by botting, then he needs some Sun. And I don't mean Silkroad Sun.

Umm that is the steamiest pile of bullshit I have ever had the misfortune of stumbling across in this forum, no offense.

You make it sound like botting is some kind of natural behavior that everyone is fighting against. Yeah, everyone drives down the highway and someone pisses them off but only like 1 in a million people pull out a shotgun and slaughter the other driver and his family. I mean please, we are not animals who are slaves to compulsion, we are humans who know right and wrong. If you have to struggle to do good things there is something wrong with you that only Lithium can fix.

Someone's inferring to much. That post was about Vandango and Vandango alone, some people are weak. For him SRF was a crutch that kept him walking in the right direction. I'm going to catch my self here before I go into a philosophy/psychology spin-off. Some people are strong enough, others are not. The Human mind is a fragile thing. It was not instantaneous. It was not impulse, this is not a case of nature, but a case of nurture. Oh there I go. Well, it was really a mix. When the line becomes blurred it is easy to loose sight.

For me the line is strong and steady:
Legit|Illegitimate.
For some there is no Line.
And for others the line becomes a blurry mess. When that happens the line is gradually erased.

Is it just me or does that example clearly show mere scraping at a though of nearly possibly being acceptable as a possible comparison to Dango's Case?

There is no psych spin on this. It's just another weak ass gone bot. I LOLed for Asya but I am neither suprised nor do I give it some kind of psycho-social significance.

Floodgates.... what a dramatic crock of BS that was. You should get some kind of forum Emmy award.

@Key-J Im pretty good at translating but your sentence throws me for a loop.

No its not redundancy. You somehow feel the need to coat it with dramatic inner struggle sugar to make him seem like less of a __insert scathing invective here__.

gtfo already you're full of sh1t

At least Dango had the decency to ban himself, acknowledging what he did was wrong and that he deserved to be punished instead of BSing like half you ppl.

Im not gonna justify for criticize, its just a shame to see another good member of the SRF community bite the dust...

So is this like a soon-to-be dead person saying, "Don't cry at my funeral, laugh at all the great memories?" I would assume Vandango doesn't want SRF crying.

We should all be lulzing, right?

PS: Garfield is a botter.

He missed the "t" on "thought".
So he means that her example barely had anything to do with van.

Wtf's ebonics, lol.

Also, I don't think Van should be mocked, but I always knew he botted, I mean, he didn't bot his old archer char, but that new one had tainted marks all over it.

He was a pretty cool guy, and he still is, he's just succumbed to his temptations.

On a final note, @NB: We have a sense of right and wrong, but in a world where murder is the norm, those who do not kill are viewed as wrongful and weak, and overall just viewed negatively. In SRO, botting is the equivalent of murdering in the previously mentioned world. Botting is normal, and not botting is considerend strange (though not weak, it is indeed viewed as weird nowadays).

By definition, normal is what the majority of people do, which is why you can never say "my family is strange, and I am normal", you can only really say "my family has made some choices I would not have made".

Anyways: Bye van, it was good having you around, good luck with whatever you're doing.

Mind reading would make this discussion a lot easier. Vandango's case was a case of inner struggle. Those who are weak do struggle to stay the course. You cannot deny that. We, at SRF, like to look at every case individually; however, the results are almost always the same.

Spewing more ideological psychology bullshit again? Inner Struggle this, Inner Struggle that. Barotix, I like you, but the over analysis is bugging me.

How would he feel , when he wakes up , and reads LOL topic ...
How would he feel? Is that right, after all he done for SRF?

I just wanted to show him, that behind all the haters, there are alot of people from SRF that loves him.
