Discovery Server

[Wolfpack98]

Okay. First, i'm not an active admin anymore. Those of you who know me and remember me know that I ran the Discovery Server for Igiss during the last year and half.

A lot of people didn't agree with me. A lot accused me of "admin bias". Even more thought I sucked, plain and simple.

However, there is one thing that EVERYONE should be aware of. Discovery Gaming Community and the servers it operats do *NOT* fall under the jurisdiction of any single country. Only the server owners fall under that jurisdiction. I believe the RP server falls under Cezh authority. the PVP server under British Authority. The server owners must follow their national laws, and so do the individual players.

However, the servers do NOT fall under the jusidiction of any sort of Bill of Rights. No constitution in the world can control these. They never can. Why? it's called "International Law."

Before someone yells that someone violated the rights as set forth in the US Constitution, it will never stand up in court. It must be proven and have tangible evidence. Recent court cases show that the internet has no national boundaries and as such don't qualify to be tried in court like this. What i've read on the forums lately (the ID threads) tells me that some of you have next to no understanding of the internet and it's dynamics.

I'm a Network Administrator as a real life job. I know the internet laws as it's required to know these laws to provide services for my company. US Constitution only applies to ME and my servers only. What happens ON the server, yes, applies to US Law, but what someone else does to another person does not. Violation of rights? only if there's a server rule that states specifically like that.

With Discovery, it was NEVER a democracy. An admin's rule is absolute. Yes, you can "appeal" the ruling, but you cannot argue it. You don't like it? Appeal it. Don't argue it. Calling a Vote of No Confidence on an admin is just utter bullsh*t and frankly, it's a cheap way out of an arguement.

I left this communtiy over this kind of crap. I can clearly see that nothing has changed. Nightfall now knows the situation I was in, and frankly, I feel bad for him.

Finally... This is supposed to be for fun. If you can't follow simple rules... Get the hell off of the server. If you can't live with the way the admins work? Get used to it or get out of dodge. It's not a democracy. Only person who can kick an admin off the team.. is Igiss. No one else can.

Don't like it? Tough. Life isn't supposed to be fair.
