So sorry, but my view on this issue is just as adamant as you claimed your view on signatures to be.

Your stubborn-ness will be your downfall, Mak. Politeness won't help you there...

My KW Bio
How I joined
I just happened to type in the KW adress. I clicked the forum link, and there I was. After some kinks in the registration process, I was Member 1,747 aka Red Knight*the first name I used*
My 1month or so hiatus
I am going to explain the events in my personal life leading up to this. I was at an emotional and a mental low-ebb for a long time. I truly hit rock-bottom around about mid May. I cut myself, using a compass, framed my math teacher and almost got expelled from school.

After this, I needed some time to be alone and think about my life in general. I even contemplated leaving the forum. After my holiday in Canada, lasting from 6 of June to July 4, I still had more to mull over.
My 8 day hiatus
This lasted from Augustus 4 to August 12. I still had a lot to think about. I was going to be put on meds on the 13th of August. I'm not going to go over the events of that hiatus, but there was 1 person who made that 8 day hiatus somewhat better than what I had hoped.
The Least Favorite Sengoku Person Incident
I've forgotten when this was. It started when I made disparaging remarks about Hashiba Hideyoshi. Honda reacts to them. It was a multipost arguement with some interjection by Slick.

This lasted for quite some time until me and Honda called it quits.
Problems I've seen so far
1. Some mods are given too much power and they don't how to use it
2.Some people are responsible for too may things
Good things
1.This forum has made progress
2. There's been a lot of effort to make this forum a better place

You forgot the numerous X-Men characters and historical figures that had nothing to do with that time period.

After Sean left, I had a bunch of stupid arguments with Honda Tadakatsu over practically nothing. After awhile that stopped, because we weren't actually arguing over anything important. There was peace in the staff for awhile since Kham was gone, but I think we allowed him to come back, whereupon he was good for a short while and then started screwing with the board again. Come to think of it, Kham basically caused most of the chaos and arguments in the staff for quite a long time. The so-called 'civil war' that GYA mentions was nothing more than a petty feud that began between Honda and Sean and was extremely exacerbated by my 'entrance' into the fray. The reason that got so chaotic was because I favored a 'democratic' kind of staff where all the staff could vote on things before they got done. Honda didn't agree with this, but he and I sided anyways because he didn't support a staff where Sean got to call the shots. I got pissed over several occassions where Sean did things without so much as even bringing them up in the staff forum, but eventually things stopped getting so out of hand. I would then go on to oppose every leading staff member who tried to do things without counseling the other mods.

GYA became an administrator either after Sean left or after Insight left. I forgot when he was one, but I was there to see both Sean and Insight leave. I started to play a huge freakin' role in the staff. I started increasing the amount of stuff I did and getting involved with issues like 'how to handle members like MizzleSunBizzle' and how we would warn and deal with members. I favored a lenient policy, because I felt that members like MizzleSunBizzle did more to help the forum than hurt it (and just because some stupid people were offended by him didn't mean crap). I became a global moderator, and started making threads both to show the members how chaotic the staff was and to get member feedback on how to reform the staff forum. Eventually, the moderators started siding against me because a lot of the time I was all for kicking them out of staff and bringing in new blood (like Lord of Wei, etc.).

MizzleSunBizzle started getting unnecessarily warned by moderators. He eventually quit the board, but before he left he, me and HondaTadakatsu made the rules that are currently on the forum. I had two main goals with making the rules. One was to be more specific with what was against the rules and the other was to be less specific with punishments for the rules. Sean, the previous maker of the rules, had claimed himself that his rules had been a rough draft. In any case, even though we made the rules, I would have to post them in the staff multiple times before they were finally adapted. In fact, they weren't even put up until Goldensummit was made an administrator, an event which happened WAY the hell after me, MSB and HondaTadakatsu had made the new rules in the first place.

Goldensummit joined. I was at first friendly with him, Axomme, LizaVetaVath and Chin. This changed, however, as soon as we stopped talking casually and started having serious discussions and/or debates on things. Actually, most of the time LizaVetaVath agreed with me when we had these, but Axomme became alienated from me after awhile. Cao David came here with the stolen work of TheTwoDud. This would not be turned into a RPG for awhile though (in the meantime, I started roleplaying with Jbrace, Raistlin, Zeros, Cao David and others on TheTwoDud's actual site). Finally DWCC would come to the forum. Wu (under Goldensummit) would win the game, and I would go on to make most of what became Samurai Warriors Conquers Japan Version 1.0. Goldensummit, TheTwoDud and GYA would play the significant role of modding all the different 'Warriors Conquer' games that emerged on the forum.

I started really wanting to change the staff. I tried to reform it in numerous ways, but most of the time the staff voted against everything I proposed (a lot of the time they did this for their own selfish reasons too :/). At some point in time, and on a completely unrelated note, the forum moderator, Amirah, left the staff. Before she left, she DEMANDED that I edit the first post the 'Post a Picture of Yourself' thread to include all the links of pictures that people had posted of themselves. This I did, though it take several hours and should have been her job since she was a moderator of that forum. Ironically, this and other minor things I did in the Picture/GFX board would end up amounting to more than both Amirah and LizaVetaVath did in that particular forum (when I would point this out later, LizaVetaVath would become very angry; that particular episode is mentioned later in this post).

One of the few things that the staff agreed with me on was regarding the banning of Karl_Eichholtz, a.k.a. Inspector Trout. HondaTadakatsu had long wanted to ban him, but I made the final poll which resulted in his permanent suspension from the forum (it was supposed to be temporary, but he hasn't returned). My biggest reversal happened when I put the quote 'Plan and simpel' (written by Cao David) in my signature. This pissed the **** out of several staff members, and resulted in a long battle of Miho, Goldensummit, Cao David & Divine Justice vs. Me, HondaTadakatsu, Jin and some others. It shouldn't have even been an issue, because I was merely quoting something that CAO DAVID HAD HIMSELF SAID.

Before this Cao David battle was going on, GYA posted the amount of mod actions everybody had. When I saw that I had the most actions, much more compared to other moderators, I was flustered because it seemed like my colleagues were all talk and no action. The posting of mod actions by an admin led to a great change in moderator work ethic. Suddenly, getting a lot of mod actions became a goal worth attaining, and conflicts broke out between members over who was and was not a good moderator. Nouhime and Jin, two senior staff members, were particularly aggressive in their quarrelling. Jin, though having less mod actions than Nouhime, had power over less boards than her but had been a mod for more time than her. When it was pointed out that he had less mod actions, one of the legendary battles between these two moderators would ensue. Another would occur over the release date topic, and at one point Nouhime would complain to Inspector Chin about Jin, resulting in Jin's temporary exile to the Dynasty Warriors forum.

In response to the mod actions that were listed, I posted a giant moderator reform thread where I tried to give each moderator certain tasks to complete to make the board better. Many moderators got PISSED at me for this. LizaVetaVath and Zhuge_flea went off on me the most, if I remember correctly. Many of the moderators that I shunned were ejected from the staff later on (ironically), but I was so frustrated at how defensive they were getting and how much they fought against what I was trying to accomplish that I asked to be banned after many arguments in the staff forum between me, Goldensummit, LizaVetaVath (who later admitted she was a bad mod, according to Shaun *cough*), Miho and Inspector Chin over moderator reform and the whole issue about Cao David.

I tried to make the board better through reform, but I could never accomplish much because reform involved getting rid of bad moderators and putting in better, more efficient ones (and the current moderators would, of course, not agree to a reduction of power). I couldn't handle the conflict, and so I kicked myself out of the forum.

"Never decrease the koku (revenues) of a vassal under you, but do not increase the koku (revenues) of a vassal too much, too quickly as then you will never need to decrease your vassals' revenue in the first place."

The Koei Warriors staff had raised too many people to too many high positions too fast. Because it was so difficult to decrease their status while keeping their loyalty to the board, problems were bound to occur in the staff, and I was blamed for these problems. Since then, many of the people who made it into the staff without much qualification have been ejected from staff. Some, like Kham, have even been banned.

Quoted for nostalgia.

You've also forgotten my brief 2 week stint as a moderator which ended with me getting booted off staff for actually doing my job. I've probably been the only mod ever demodded for doing so.

What are you talking about? I was de-modded for nothing as well. I asked to be banned, and then when I came back, they wouldn't let me mod again.

The chance of that happening is about zero. I have many enemies among the staff and VERY, VERY few friends.

Honda has influence in the staff, whether the staff wants to admit it or not. I consider DJ to be his pawn, more or less.

Blue Eyes Oni-Neutral
kongming's disciple-Friend
Miho-Used to be an enemy, now a friend.
Neo Juste Belmont-Neutral
Sengoku Robo Samuraioh-Probably an enemy
Shizu-Neutral, possibly friend?
Shogun-Neutral
Sun Ce of East Wu-Neutral
The Dragon-Friend
TinyCaterpillar-Probably Neutral
WillxDiana-Enemy
Wo Long-Enemy
Zhou Yu-Enemy
Blackkite-Enemy
Guan Yu's apprentice-Enemy
Jsun-Enemy
LoW-Friend
Nouhime-Enemy
Divine Justice-Enemy
Goldensummit-Neutral
Insp. Chin-Enemy

By my counts I have...

About 10 enemies
About 7 people who probably don't really care about me either way
About 4 people who I can count on as 'friends.'

And most of the people who are neutral or 'friends' are not high-ranking staff members. I'm not even sure if some, like kongming's disciple, are even active anymore.
