Good to get some closure, I know some of us got a bit angry over the mistakes that were made and doubted whether there was any point in continuing the farce that is CSM. Deep down we knew that in the end it would all be handled professionally and we could get on with the game that we love with lessons learnt.

Edit: Sorry for making a new thread but I couldn't find any open on the topic.

i'm going to laugh my bollocks off if it turns out those 30 scorpions were intended to be lottery gifts and blink "stole" them and kept them as personal gifts.

that's the only way it makes sense to redirect us to the two stickies.

Silence, we kill you!

The Gaggings will continue, until moral improves!

We've altered the plan, pray we don't alter it further.

First they came for the Guardian-Vexors
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Guardian-Vexor pilot.

Then they came for the monocles,
and I didn't speak out because I didn't wear a monocle.

Then they came for the Scorpion Ishukone Watches
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Scorpion Ishukone Watch pilot.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.

yeah but the difference is, all 3 of them are bellends so even if you did vote you'd have still been stuck with a bellend.

Here's what I wanna know....

Why is the word 'gate' thrown on the end of anything that might be considered a scandal? What gate was involved exactly?

I know what it is. The Watergate scandal took place in the Watergate Hotel, a place that exists and has the word 'gate' already in it, making it relevant. The only thing I can think of that might make sense is suddenly, everyone wants to uncover some big scandal and they want their scandal to be just as big as Watergate, so they use 'gate' on the end to make it seem bigger than it is. It is most frequently used, I've noticed, when there is no scandal at all, like Climategate, or this rubbish.
