The blog I looked at was titled bannable-offenses. @ http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com
I'm sure when I remember html, I'll be able to put these as links instead of just text.
The guy writing calls himself GM Dave and is a GM for Final Fantasy XI. The reason for this is because he does not want to get fired by his boss for leaking company secrets and the like. Dave himself
is the stereotypical PR guy who hates people. It isn't really his fault, the players
are just really stupid. Dave does seem like a good guy, maybe with a little superiority complex but he does blog some funny stories. Maybe he is a hero of sorts, eliminating the criminals of intelligence and protecting the general public.
Perhaps not but he makes it sound like so much fun to be a GM.
Essentially this blog is so interesting is because he has a conversation with a player in each entry and generally insults them. After he has used alot of the unbanned curse words, he will ban them. This will also happen in an intriguing way, rather than just logging them out and banning them, he will warp the player(s) to a dungeon with no exit and let Jourgamund eat them. Ok, maybe not every player got banned but at least Jourgamund got fed every entry. These are just of his adventures in-game, he also talks about what it is like in his office. Normally about how the employees get stupidly drunk during server checks and patches and this being the reason they always take over 5 hours. Dave personally likes to annoy his boss at certain points as well in order to look like he is working or to avoid having to do something. More recently, he has slowed down his writing to talk about his wife/girlfriend and the tales of his ignoring her in order to play FFXI. Also he throws in rants about pregnancy and his new, albeit messy, baby. Although he does love his wife/girlfriend and child he seems to find something new to rant about. Unfortunately these are few and far between as some of the GM Dave and Susan skits are some of the best.
Hopefully in the future I will be able to develop a style of blogging similar to his as making people smile grabs their attention and brings them back. I kept going back to GMDave's blog because of the tales of idiocy he told and of course the dragon eating. It is a shame that nowadays his blogging has been sent to the bottom of the pile.
