No warning, no thanks for all the fish, just fuck off quietly please....

So after 2 dead consoles and being shafted, what's my opinion of MS right now???

At least now I can unleash on what a severe pack of fucking self-righteous fucktards those people were. I wish I'd copied a few of the dumb arse threads out of there for everyone's enjoyment, but I didn't expect this to happen. Be thankful that an Ambassador has no actual power over anything.

I wish I could remember most of it. I always try to purge it from my brain.

They were offended by everything, they went dobbing to the forum mods over every little thing, and I was so sick of the exact same threads every time a new big game came out - "Ambassador work is about to increase!"

The fact is, most people add you because they in some way think you're special, and the Ambassadors lap it up. I had one guy from the US leave me the most dribbling voice message, thanking me for accepting his friends request. Then that was it. He just hovered on my friends list till I deleted him.

The last round of recruits were done via each Ambassador selecting two "padawans". So ultimately, you were responsible for everything done by the two people you decided crawled up your arse the most.

Seeing a theme here?

The sad part is, it actually was rewarding helping the people who genuinely needed help, and I would have been more than happy to continue on just for that part. I will not put my hand up and request to be a part of all that BS again though, especially when I can't say a nice thing about the console itself right now.

I'm trying really hard to remember this awesome spack thread that was in there. I know it was Jewish people cracking a shit over the offensive and M rated gamerpics.

Its even more special when I'm on your list.

Having a Sarcastic Bastard to the friends list is like having a gold penis, it looks and sounds good but its usefulness is limited.

Wait.. i should think before typing.

well, now i can say what i think of ambassadors.

basically wankers who think they are special because of it, and think its some sort of achievement and that we actually look up to them when all i feel is disdaine, im sure some are alright, but only a small %.

Have they actually revoked your ambassador status? That link reads like they're just accepting new ambassadors, unless I missed something. I only skim read, didn't peruse.


I've always thought that the idea of ambassadors was a wanky/juvenile idea anyway, sorry Hiss. If you're no longer an ambassador, you just shot up about 50 esteem points in my eyes... :) (not that I don't already hold you in high esteem, and to be honest I could never understand why you wanted to be an ambassador in the first place...)
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

Yeah, as it says there, they've wiped the slate clean. I no longer have access to the super secret forum.

To be honest, I became an Ambassador thinking it would lead people to here. It never worked once, but it was fun doing the intended work of helping n00bs. Usually, it was genuinely nice people who aren't all that tech savvy. They needed to get some footing, I gave to them, they were thankful, we all moved on happy.

After spending all day working for whiny assholes who demand I use my skills to help them without a single thank you, or giving my advice online only to be drowned out by some out of work, middle aged housewife who thinks she knows better than me, it was good to actually use what I'm good at to help people who were actually thankful that I was doing so. I was using my powers for good.

The concept itself is a good one. It was just obviously very thankless from MS themselves and promoted the many wankers that you all know the program for. I never participated in their stupid forum of bullshit, and the one time I did it was against their over moderating and my post was swiftly deleted. Good intentions spoiled by self important knobs.
