Hello, my name is Sean Wallace. Mandalore Da Beast. The Real Mandalor Da Beast. I'm a proud member of DCI, and a huge SW minis fan.
It has come to my attention (about 3 weeks ago to be exact) that I am not wanted on this site, because I am "dsiruptive", "Disrespectful", "angry", "Violent" and just a flat out bad person.
This will be a long post, so please bear with me.
I moved to Nashville about 5 years ago to seek better opportunities (I was formerly in NY, brooklyn to be exact) And the only real opportunity that I found was SWs minis. Afetr that, work came into the fold. I made it my business to teach any and all how to play this game. I came across Bloomilk a year ago, and was excited because of all of the trading I could do and chat every once in awhile (I say once in awhile because I worked crazy hours.)
Me my GF had our own apartment for a few years, and then she sudenly lost her job, and it was time to find roommates ( it was nesessary, I couldn't afford it all myself), so we moved in with another couple (male and female), and it was pretty good for the most part, in the beginning anyway. I taught EVERONE how to play this great game, and got alot of folks to even buy there own boosters (which is a feat in of itself with some people). I'll try to cut this shorter. Some of the friends I had were people who dishonest lowlifes (had I known this before, I would never had associated with them)
I went to my 1st Tourney in Owensboro back in.....august maybe? and I had a blast and met alot of great people. I wouldn't trade it for anything. It was so much fun that I and my now Nemesis SithFlyOnBasalisks decided to make a tourney in Nashville. he had to do all of the preliminary stuff, because I worked crazy hours, and he was jobless. He became a TO (not sure what that means, O...tournemant Organizer?) which was cool because now we can have events in Nashville.
I noticed weeks before that I couldn't sign into my Bloomilk anymore, saying I was temporarily suspended, I thought nothing of it because my 2 other friends said they were having the same problem (What they didn't tell me was that they got my name banned, and they went as far as to lie to me by saying that it was a system error) I believed, because I know nothing about computers, so I was left with little choice.
Here is the Bottom line guys. I messed up. I know I messed up. I should have been more resposible with signing out whenever I completed trades. I know this, just look at the mess it caused.
I apologize to Shinja 1st and foremost, because apparently he has been having to deal with this crap for a while, and he shouldn't have to.
I Apologize to Dean Miller. He was threatened to have his face broke (Which I swear to GOD, was not me).
I apologize to Bill Russel for recentlygoing after him for things that were said about me. I had no idea that alot of things went down that shouldn't have.
I apologize to the community for having to deal with all of this unnecessary garbage, this is a site about SWs minis, so that means we all have to act like brothers in arms, because we need us to survive our favorite game.
I am just sorry. I really truly am.
I don't expect you guys to believe me, heck, all of the PMs I have been getting from members saying what "Mandalore Da Beast" did or said to them is enough for me to understand your convictions.
I'm not trying to fight with anyone, its against my programming, but all I want is to prove to you guys that I am not that Monster that my former associates made me out to be. They are cowards who had to use my name to incite their foolishness, all at my expense.
I just want to get back to trading, I have so much crap, between Ebay and trading, I can complete my sets. Even if you guys don't want me on the general forum, I will stay off, but please, you have to believe my sincerity when I say I'm sorry.

Sorry, I have recent examples to doubt your story. The chain keeps on continuing. If you had been this upfront with the Beast account, before you denied who you were, it might hold some water. Too many chances have been burned. If this is true, I am sorry, but we cannot take the risk.

The other problem, Sean, is that apologies like this have been made in the past, and then your (whether you or your friends through your screennames) behavior quickly went back to the old ways. So there's really only two options here:
1. The entire thing is the fault of your roommates/friends. In which case, either you or your friends have apologized and then reverted back to old habits shortly after, leaving us with no confidence in your apologies.
or...
2. The entire thing is all your own doing, and this is yet another attempt to 'pull the wool over on us'.
Either situation is not good, and as Sithborg said, in order to maintain a healthy community, it must not be tolerated....EVER.
Honestly, I posted in DarthKaotic's thread yesterday EXACTLY what would need to be done in order for you to be able to participate in the forums in the future. But this thread here provides more evidence that you aren't interested in that. You are more concerned about 'clearing your name' than you are about actually being a member of the forums.
You want to know how to clear your name, how to prove that the past actions were the work of your lousy friends? Be a member of the communities, and contribute to the site, don't be disruptive, and don't be anything that could possibly link you to your old past. Do this for a long time, like probably a year at least. Then, once you're certain that you've earned the respect of the other fellow board members, and you actually have some 'good works' to back up your assertions that you really are a good person, then you could let the forums know your real name. Then you could go back and connect whatever dots you want. But at that point, you'd be able to point to a good track record for the previous year, or however long, and say "See, this is who I really am."
But honestly, I can't blame Shinja or the mods if they aren't even willing to give that opportunity. When it comes down to it, it's about burnt bridges. Things were already way out of control in November when Dark_Jedi_21 came to help you run your tournament. At that point in time, you should've been making these kinds of posts, and making these kinds of changes back then. Not now. Not 6 months later. So in that light, it doesn't surprise me in the least that Sithborg would react in this manner.
Honestly, I am prone to give second chances, but as I said in Kaotic's thread yesterday, this is like a 10th chance for who we know as Sean. And at that point, there's certainly the question of "is it worth it?"

Lol, I highly doubt this is any truer than the other 13 stories he's told. He's like the boy who cries wolf. It's never his fault, always someone else'. This story is further denied by the fact that several of the things he's done, weren't even done through bloomilk. Some were done in person (unless he wants to argue that his roommates were playing as Sean as well lol), some were done via his own email address, some through AIM, etc.
Further, he's been told multiple times, if he had simply come back with a new user name, never talked about this issue, and acted with good behavior, no connections to MDB would have been made - and all would have been well. Instead he keeps making up a new story, keeps blaming others for his problems, and keeps talking about it. No one cares - it just needs to be done. MDB and his multiple accounts are banned. Story over. No one wants to hear about it any longer. It's just too bad he can't leave it alone, and has to keep using this forum as his personal playground.
Oh and let's not forget he's used his multiple accounts (including several of the recent ones) to rate squads with 1s and 2s out of spite. But I'm sure that was his roommates too :)

I appreciate the apology.
But I am asking you once again (publicly this time), to leave this site and never come back. Find another place to do your trading. Every new account you create here will be permanently banned. Every new IP Address you use will be banned. That goes for your friends, relatives, and roommates as well.
Your cooperation in this will go much farther towards proving you can be a man of character, than creating more new accounts to try to defend yourself.

To the OP, I would recommend the following:
1) If you are hard up for money, sell all of your mini's and walk away from the game. It is obvious you have unhealthy relationship with the game, so you will be able to solve both problems.
2) Find something else to do with your free time. Take up a cooking course, start doing yoga, pick up a martial art, something. Look into free colleges around the area and explore another hobby where you go to a class, meet people and interact with them on a face to face level. It will help ease your stress level, you'll learn something new, and it will take your focus away from mini's and this website.
3) Just go out and enjoy life. Star Wars mini's is fun, but it shouldn't be the focus of your life. If it is, I suppose it is ok, but there is so much more to life than a game. If you can't strike a good balance between this game and your life, then I believe you have an obsession and should seek immediate counseling. An obsession, regardless of what it is, will hamper your daily life, your job, your relationships, etc.
I wish you the best and hope you find that balance. But until then, I suggest you never come back to this website or any SWM website and really consider what is important in your life. In fact, I say this to everyone who sometimes feels like SWM's are beginning to influence their lives in a negative way. Your long term happiness is more important than a table top game

Having you on bloomilk in any capacity Sean would be a mstake, onr can repeat the same behavior amd emulate the same behavior in multiple formd of communication with multiple warnings and expect a different result.
Goodbye and good riddance.

Sean,
I realize you are trying to save face somewhat by this apology and the fact the circumstances leading to this point are very old.
But I want to direct you back to the beginning. You threatened me because your wife worked for an airline and you could get here easy (free flights). Now in your apology you only have a girlfriend.
Your enemy SIthflyinonbasilisks then invited me to call you and work things out. I called and everything seemed to be worked out. I offered to give you help. It wasnt Sithlfyinonbasilisks I talked to because I had already had several conversations. Then a month later you went back to threats and the what not.
I think you need to just own this completely and move on. Own all you have done no matter how bad of light it casts you in. Because whether it was you or someone else as you allude you are completely responsible for the actions. I also cannot believe that all of this went on under your roof without you having any knowledge. So just own it.
Let some time pass. Then if you want try again.
You have burned many bridges. I mean you went over to Starwarsminigames.com and ripped the guys that showed to Nashville. Saying they just came there for the prize support and took it. I mean come on. Everywhere you have gone you have left a path of meaness behind. This is a game and people want to have fun.
I think at some point you do too. But at this point I think you have lost the ability to do it.
I will accept your apology and tell you also that contrary to your belief I dont have any other smurf accounts on here. I have tried to make one I wont lie. It is for the gamers booster league and apparently you cannot use the same email address so that messed me over.
I wont lie to you and tell you that I dont know some folks who do have extra accounts on here but I am not one of them.
In the end I hope you actually mean your apology and will abide by shinja's wishes as this is his site.

I was just insinuating in a kinda star wars like way that there is a sith lurking around. Not in the mods. Just you know Kinda like Darth Plagueus, in the shadows trying to stir things up but unlike DP he's not accomplishing much.

I would say it would be more prudent to be careful about throwing accusations about who is who. His statement is too ambiguous to mean much of anything.
