#themanadrain?

[MuzzonoAmi]

What's going on here? It's saying I need an invite to join, is there a reason for this?

[kirdape3]

It happened to me, too.

[MuzzonoAmi]

Could you get in? Or do you know why this is happening?

[19:59] #TheManaDrain unable to join channel (invite only)

According to Kerzner, blame the Dutch.

As always !!!!!!

Uh? What did we do now? And how did we do it? - Bram

[jeek]

Situation is under control. Move along.. nothing to see here.

--- You're inviting Zherbus to #TheManaDrain (irc.servercentral.net)
--> Zherbus (Zherbus@h0020e0708145.ne.client2.attbi.com) has joined #themanadrain
<jeek> If that's really Zherb, he should be able to get ops.
--- TMDbot gives channel operator status to Zherbus

[Zherbus]

I restored peace.

[Often Lost]

Good job.

[Bram]

Erm....

I think I did it. I didn't mean to, though

I tried to plusvee someone yesterday and a message appeared saying 'BR4M sets mode: +i'. Obviously, I had made some weird mistake. I'd never seen that before, wondered what that was, and why the person in question didn't get voiced, but nothing happened, so I basically forgot about it. Then I went to bed.

Now everyone's talking about the 'invite' problem (the first post in this thread was like half an hour after I left the chennel yesterday). The moment I read this thread, I felt a creeping suspicion that *I* was the culprit...

EDIT: OK, LevelZero figured out what went wrong:

<BR4M> check out this thread:
<BR4M> (link to this thread)
<BR4M> apparently, somethign odd happened
<BR4M> and I think I did it.
<BR4M> LZ: maybe you can explain what happened.
<BR4M> I tried to plusvee someone yesterday
<BR4M> and a message appeared saying 'me sets mode: +i'
<BR4M> I wondered what that was
<BR4M> but nothing happened
<BR4M> now everyone is talking about 'invite' stuff.
<BR4M> and, according to the time stamps, happened shortly after I did this.
<BR4M> think the two events might be interrelated?
<OliverD> definitely
<LevelZero> lemme check my logs
<LevelZero> [01:39] *** mode/#themanadrain [+i] by BR4M
<BR4M> that's what I mean
<LevelZero> so that's what you did
<BR4M> is that the invite thingy
<LevelZero> you caused it to go invite only
<BR4M> but it couldnt possibly be a typo. The i isn't anywhere near the v.
<LevelZero> what exactly did you type?
<LevelZero> since /mode lines can occasionally be fucked
<BR4M> '/mode #themanadrain USERNAME +v'
<LevelZero> right
<LevelZero> wrong way around
<BR4M> whaaaat?
<LevelZero> it's +v USERNAME
<BR4M> fuck
<BR4M> and so seeing as how it was wrong, instead of doing nothing, it decided to fuck up the channel?
<st00mie> people got pissed off
<BR4M> I can imagine
<BR4M> I'm real sorry
<st00mie> zherbus couldnt get in
<BR4M> Maybe I'll send them flowers
<BR4M> or cards
<st00mie> and there have been discussions about disallowing dutchies ops
<LevelZero> BR4M: was there an 'i' in the username?
<BR4M> dammit, I should just use the mIRC mouse button activated controls.
<BR4M> trying to be smart is just not for me
<BR4M> LZ: yes, there was an 'i' in the username...
<BR4M> fuck
<LevelZero> that explains
<BR4M> it's all becoming clear
<BR4M> I'm so sorry

Apologies to everyone who couldn't join the channel yesterday because of my blatant stupidity. And sorry for the hassle, Z.

After thread hijacking, ISP moved up to channel hijacking

[Bram]

That's not funny dude. It was an honest mistake, and I already feel like an idiot. No need to rub it in

[Toad]

Awww. We still love you Bram

[Dr. Sylvan]

Awww. Kerz still <3s your ass, Bram :D

[wuaffiliate]

Awww. Kerz still <3s random man ass

[Kerz]

Blame the Dutch

Told you so.

Awww. Kerz still <3s random man ass

Your mom is a man? Oh...god! Ohgod! Oh...oh god! -shudders-

<3 to Steve for stopping the havoc that BR4M started.

[DavidHernandez]

<BR4M> Maybe I'll send them flowers
<BR4M> or cards

I need a Beta Lotus or a Beta Ancestral.

Dave.

[kirdape3]

I was honestly mad enough to let the Spanish back into your country.

[Dr. Sylvan]

I was honestly mad enough to let the Spanish back into your country.

They're going to need another continent bursting at the seams with silver to fund it again.

[kirdape3]

No, just let the Inquisitors in.  They'll be all mad full of fanatic zeal and just start burning Dutchies at the stake.

[Bram]

Since I'll never hear the end of this even though it was an honest mistake, I decided to make a little something to commemorate the occasion:

[Dr. Sylvan]

Bram, you have rendered me speechless. I award you three gold stars.

On top of the ones Matt issued so long ago, you are now virtually assured victory in this session of MarioParty.

[Matt]

Holy crap that is awesome. The look on that guy's face will keep warm through many a winter's night.

[Saucemaster]

OMG Bram I think you just became my TMD hero.  *That's* how you convince people of your opinion.  Photoshop > Philosophy.
