Note: The following thread has been created in order to question Whitakker's stance as a member of the Tales of Phantomile website, and to see if he should indeed be deemed a problem to the boards in general. Argis first began questioning Whitakker's conduct several weeks ago, and his eyes, the current situation warrants his banishment from the site. The following does not concern the banning of a member in any shape or form, contrary to the wishes of a few select individuals on the site. Instead, this 'trial' is simply to determine whether or not Whitakker deserves these charges being brought against him. If he is found guilty, suitable disciplinary action will be taken, although it is not in any way ToP's intent to lose valuable members without first allowing them ample opportunity to defend themselves.
This thread will be conducted in the following manner: Argis will make his initial accusation, and Whitakker will be given a chance to respond. Following this all of the original five members of ToP (Argis, Thanatos, Nicholi, Electra, and Syrant) that have not already spoken will be given the opportunity, siding with one party or the other. Each of these original members gains one vote; all other members are to observe only, and are not allowed to post. If necessary, an appeal can be attempted if the arguments of either side seem particularly faulty. If this is the case, a poll will be created, and all ToP members will be free to vote and state their opinions.
Also bear in mind that the following is conducted in a partially role-played manner, with players represented by their characters--although items discussed are naturally out of character. Posts written in the incorrect format will have to be retyped. PM Thanatos with any specific questions on this unique format, or follow the example of the starter.
(All of this is done with Nicholi Anhelo's full support. Any complaints should be promptly shoved where the sun does not shine.)
Members Argis vs Whitakker: ToP Case #1
The room is massive, its walls and floor covered with a beautiful, glossy mahogony. The most immediate object visible within the chamber is that of a gigantic judge's stand, with a small sign reading "Out to Lunch" on top of it. To this impressive stand's left sits Argis, and to its right sits Whitakker. Seated at a small table facing this arrangement are, in order: Thanatos, Syrant, and Electra. There is no jury; instead, any additional members that wish to view the proceedings have taken seats where they can view the entire trial, although they will be unable to comment on the process.
And thus the case against Whitakker commences...

Nicholi enters the room garbed in his usual atire sans his various armaments. He now holds a gavil in his hand as he approaches his seat. He sits down and removes the OUT TO LUNCH sign from the table. He looks upon the fellow members and begins to speak.
"Let the case of "Argis vs Whitakker: ToP Case 1" begin."

Hello, my case is against Whittaker for being overly cheap (not good role-playing skills.) Second His need to Spam contently (which disrupts the flow of the site) which both he has been constantly warned of. Also he has flamed members by insulting post. Here some evidence of these infractions. If I win this trial and he is guilty I wish only that his max punishment be … Post reduction and suspension for one (school) week. First [quote author=Whitakker link=board=RPG&thread=1100896010&start=8#0 date=1101418896 If one were to look at the scene from Skye's view, one would see a lone figure surrounded by some thirty-odd adversaries. Whitakker begins chanting the Edict in his head, waiting for them to make the first move. Finally, one of the mob stood out from the circle at Whitakker's left, wielding a pair of short swords. Whitakker grinned slightly* "Pathetic..." *The man(if you could call it that) bullrushed Whitakker in a flash, blades swinging in lethal patterns. Whitakker simply smiled as he saw a gap in the pattern, ducked under, and thrust his blade into the man's chest* "...Cut..."*was all that Whitakker whispered as he dispatched the first adversary, silently, swiftly slipping back into the Dance. Another came at him with a spiked ball and chain. He met the same fate as the first, with a quick slash across the midsection.* "...Everything else is secondary..." *Yet another attacked him with two short axes. He was sent to his death with a brief block of his blades, and the sudden appearance of a blade protruding from his back.* "...That is your duty..." *And so it was, seeing that he could not be taken down one at a time, that the Mass-possessed began advancing on him in twos and threes.* "...your purpose..."*Whitakker chanted as the teams went down with only a little more effort.* "...your hunger..." *After going on for some time in this fashion, Whitakker had reduced their number to twelve. But the Dance was slowly sapping his energy. Though it would be a while before his performance would start to lag in efficiency, he could feel himself grow weary from death. What was worse, his opponents sensed it as well. Things did not bode well for Whitakker... [/quote] Second [quote author=Whitakker link=board=RPG&thread=1100896010&start=17#1 date=1101953506 *The squadron of five Mass form a semicircle around them, armed to the teeth with melee and ranged weapons. Whitakker activates a feature on his sawblades, and sends them flying with uncanny precision and speed in a crisscross formation. The blades hit the targets on the ends of the semicircle in the neck and lungs, effectively cancelling them from existence. Then the blades arc up into the air, and head back toward the enemies, as if it had a will of it's own. As the blades fast approached two other Mass, they made an attempt to dodge them. But it wasn't enough. They would've barely escaped, if it hadn't been for the fact that the sawblades had extended in midflight. So instead, the blades cought the two men in their jugular, spraying blood into the air. Whitakker pressed a small button on his belt, and his blades returned to him like deadly boomerangs. That left one more Mass left from the group. She was wielding a shotgun, which she promptly leveled at Whitakker. Whitakker rolled under the gun as it was fired, and upper-cutted her in the chin. She hit the floor, and Whitakker silenced her with one shot from his PPK in the chest.* "Anyone else?", Whitakker asks Nicholi...[/quote] Third ...Impact.balance to life-death. It is the dance with death." [/i] *Whitakker chants the Edict as he solemnly obeys it, flowing through the guard, cutting foe after foe down utterly. Now, the line between friend and foe is blurred, and only the Edict remains clear. There was to be no end until they were all cut down......Whitakker was dancing with death.[/quote] |

*Whitakker listens detatchedly to Argis' poorly constructed accusations. I doubt if he's even put any thought into his charges. As Argis finishes, Whitakker calls across the table to him.
"Are you quite done? If you are, then say so, so I can prove your charges utterly irrelevant."

*Seeing that he would get no reaction from Argis, Whitakker gets up from his seat, walks around the table, and stands in front of Nicholi.*
"I suppose that it's high time to defend myself, though it's not as if it'll take much effort. *Speaking to all*
Argis has brought charges against me, for what he deems cheapness, spamming, and flaming. All of which are grave accusations in a role-playing atmosphere. The real trick, though, is to prove my guilt in front of(what I guess I shall call him here) Judge Anhelo. Argis has brought forth what he has called "evidence" to pin on me.
And so, it begins.
I shall now point out the flaws in Argis' accusations, making it quite clear to the Honorable Judge Anhelo that the said charges are completely useless and utterly irrelevant to ToP at this point in time.
First, Argis has accused me of being "cheap".*heavy sigh*As if we've never heard of this complaint from him a thousand times already. And when Argis calls me cheap, I can only assume he refers to my role-playing ablities, especially those pertaining to the Mission, as in the excerpts from my past posts he quoted. May I direct Judge Anhelo's attention to the date of these original posts. Take your time. Yes, that's right, they were created at least two to three months ago. That was a long time ago, all things considered. I will freely admit that those posts were what many, even myself, might possibly call poorly done, even the dreaded word, "cheap", a word with which Argis seems to be quite fond of. But that was then. This is now. I would like to believe that my skills as a role-player have improved since then, and I pray that Judge Anhelo believes that too. In short, I believe that Argis has been living in the past, not able to let go of my past wrongdoings, and has forced this court out of spite towards me. So I think that his first point has been shot to pieces.
His second charges me with spamming on the OOC boards. Once again, that was something I did much more frequently in the past, not even hardly as much anymore. I will admit that sometimes I speak out of place, or on subjects that don't quite involve me. Argis took this charge so far as to say I did it to increase my post count. *real heay sigh* At this point in the existence of ToP, only extremely pathetic morons and lesser schmucks try to shamelessly increase their post count. That wasn 't, nor is it, nor will it ever be, important to me. Again, that charge was brought against me out of spite.
And thirdly, the most irrelevant charge of them all, Argis has charged me with flaming members of this site. I believe all of the original members of this site remember the darker times ToP has been through, a time where no one obeyed the rules, where chaos reigned rampant throughout the boards, and everyone did their own thing...terrible times, now that I look back on it. I'm sure all of you feel the same way. Thankfully, those times were vanquished, thanks in large part to Judge Anhelo and Thanatos. I am forever grateful to the two of you for bringing sanity and order to ToP. But I digress. Yet once again, Argis has been dwelling in the past. If I have truly flamed anyone since then, then I would ask that Argis quote any of my posts he deems insulting to fellow members of this site, and then Judge Anhelo will decide whether it is so. But I am quite confident that you will find no such post. I have changed my ways since then, something that Argis has failed to notice. I must say, I am disappointed in you, Argis. You would let your hatred of me go so far as to involve every one on this site in this meaningless attempt to accuse me of sins that I have long repented from. I ask you to OPEN YOUR EYES!"
*Whitakker finally finishes his speech to the Judge, and sits back down.*
"It is now up to all of you to decide this matter. Who will you side with? Think about what I have said before you act."

And as for my evidence supporting his spamming problem First I feel your pain, Kimato.....  Second After realizing how unnecessary that "Yo" was in there, I hastily deleted it. Now it looks better. Don't know what Argis meant back there, but it doesn't matter. Third Ahhhhh....do I sense a certain tension toward a Mrs. Agnew?? 'Course, I don't even know who she is, so I can't comment on her...yeah. Forth Yeah...Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, you punks....j/k. ;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D[/quote Fifth *heavy sigh*  grow up folks Sixth Maybe Whittaker don’t want to be on this site due to the fact it hurt him in real life hmm…. Seventh Eighth 1. Gundam Seed 2. Evangelion 3. Rurouni Kenshin 4. Endless Waltz 5. Excel Saga 6. R.O.D.(I've only seen one movie...) 7. Errrrr.....can't think of any more...not terribly knowledgeable about WHR, CB, FMA, GITS, or any of those. Sorry. On which I can a sure you all I have no problem with just posting less than 7 on the TOP ten, but I can also assure you… Whittaker has only seen a few of the maybe 2 or three ye he put s on there to increase his post count. Ninth Very impressive.  Tenth Eleventh and for old time's sake............... REDWAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!;D;D;D;D;D;D Twelfth *Whitakker, leaning against the same wall as Nicholi was, finally decides to speak* "Master Nicholi is unerringly correct, Argis. There is no purpose for this show of hostility, especially toward a former comrade. Did the thought ever enter your mind that maybe the reason Syrant and Thanatos are here is because they simply wanted to wish you well, and had no ill intentions? No. Instead, you chose to attack them out of sheer idiocy and spite. What message does that send your people? And more importantly, what message does that send your wife-to-be, Mina?" Whittaker did not come with me and my village at the time was totally fortified and some how mercurially he appears and might I remind you his post was doctored October 15 when the post before that where do on October 3 and I know before October 15 that post clearly said he turns back to the manor! As for the flaming he is not just flaming me her has flamed multiple people. and if you notice these are mostly recent and chrchhill put it the best " those who don't learn from history a destined to repeat it!" |

As for the flaming he is not just flaming me he has flamed multiple people. First "All I want for Christmas is for Argis to learn how to post, for Argis to learn how to post, for Argis to learn how to post, for Argis to learn how to post...." ;D;D;D;D;D;D;D I agree my post are misspelled, but that is your only attack block. While your are as well and if I notice then everyone has...AS well as bluntly pointless along with it content of idioticy. Second Unfortch, I was unable to attend Friday's match(I'm sure my presence was sorely missed?)  But I shall be at it again this week, with the same list as before. I wonder if Syrant will be there to "pwn" us again? Due to the fact you have no say in this you hold no power you are flamming the site itself which can be thought of as treason! Third We would probably revere you more(not really:P) if you could spell "Beware" correctly.;D This comment was made to Syrant for misspelling a word when he himself has done the same…<br> Was that last post really necessary, Leif? Fourth ...And how dare you get mad at me when you can't even spell "haven't" correctly. What would Mr. Bailey say? I can see the tears rolling down his cheeks now.... He makes this comment to Nicholi fifth *heavy sigh* grow up folks He is impaling that we are all immature brats!! Sixth Was that last post really necessary, Leif? He already is flamming new members post Was that last post really necessary quote] now was that necessary? You are just as guilty as Leif if not way more…<br> Might I add he scared away Hanson Crawford while screening him Nicholi had to beg him back.. Please end this madness this virus on our site I think Whittaker makes the best summery of himself I haven't lost my mind, I just sold it on Ebay!  :-/  O.O.C. I was going to drop it but nooo... you had tobring it up agian |

"Due to the "flip flopping" of one, Mr Agis Boren, over the need to still hold this trial, I hearby suspend this case until it is necessary to bring it up once again. I would like to give Whitakker, as well as the rest of the site, a warning though. I do not ask that you not flame or spam someone, I DEMAND it. Acts in character such as "cheapness" are prohibited. I also do not ask that you use proper grammer, I DEMAND it. If you fail to use proper English, this being the use of punctuation and spelling, it causes problems such as incoherncy of the story and makes it difficult for others to understand the point that you are trying to get across. This case is now over."
