Draco Icebane, Draco-Handsome, or that asshole was a standard member of the MFGG forums who joined on about October 22, 2001. He was indefinitely banned on August 2, 2008, an ultimate result of his extremely outspoken nature and controversial morals.
The most immediate impression of Draco is that he is not one to back down from a clash of opinion regardless of the circumstances. Most of his arguments arise from his blunt, inelegant wording that expresses his own strong and often inappropriate opinion; the harshness of his disagreement often provokes others into thinking that he is attacking them.
In his earlier years at MFGG, Draco maintained a controversial celebrity status, as some members respected his resolve ... but more recently, became less appreciated as the subjects of arguments became less acceptable and he was identified by the public as a furry. Recently, Draco's preference for characters no longer biases to or against furries as compared to humans.
Draco holds the record for the longest avoidance of an indefinite ban while issued a two-page warn log. Some of these warns are so old that the accounts for them no longer exist (see Kritter and his five or six accounts.)
Someday, Draco is going to change; and then he will try to return to MFGG, the first web forum he ever posted on. Until he can make up for the eight years he tattered the forums' image, away he will stay.
Contents
Achievements and Hobbies
Draco starts and rarely finishes several projects primarily in Klik programs.
Ultimate Mario was announced as soon as Draco arrived, right there in his first topic or immediately after. It was noted that his fangame was generating very loud sound effects for no reason -- it was repeatedly playing the Shine Get fanfare from Super Mario Sunshine over itself, due to a coding error.
Hexis was going to be submitted to a Minigame Competition -- For the King, back in 2005. Draco spent too much time planning amazing things for it, and it never reached a functional stage.
- Mario Awesome - The standard "Let's make an awesome Mario fangame" deal. It is not finished.
- Hexis - A puzzle game that was never finished either.
- Fire Emblem Online - Ryo didn't do it
- Origin of Mobius - Yeah like Draco can do an indepth RPG in any practical amount of time
- Rockbell - If he finishes that Mega Man engine, maybe he can make this game!
- There are several thousand other projects underway.
Some members suspect that Draco has a sort of mental disorder preventing him from concentrating on a single task at a time.
It is more that Draco is impatient because of his lack of anything productive to show as a crowning achievement, and thus he frantically begins ambitious projects that may never be finished.
Member History
Early Years
Draco joined shortly after the Great Kyle Flamewar on October 22, 2001 on the ezBoard, where he released a demo of Ultimate Mario, the "worst best Mario game ever". It held one test level and a myriad of horrendous programming errors, not the least of which was playing extremely loud noises for no conceivable reason. This project is in its fourth or fifth incarnation, and the name has not been decided upon. At this point, Draco was extremely polite and borderline naive, because he understood and respected the idea of The First Impression.
Unfortunately, this respect for a good impression faded as familiarity bred contempt. (Draco has never been very tolerant of personality quirks.)
Most of Draco's time was spent having arguments with several regulars, such as Quicky and Kritter. Constant arguments led to Draco receiving warns and bans at an alarming rate, which was only broken with King Piranha Plant's specific attempts to receive as many bans as possible. Draco would later make fun of the KPP problem in many mock plays, which the administrative team did not entirely appreciate, with one of his comments about a standard member resulting in another ban.
After the shuffling of the strike system and the resulting switch to only temporary bans, Draco was often only in posting condition for a week or two out of every month, which is a very depressing reflection.
Defiance of the Trasher
Trasher once banned Josh for fifteen days for accidentally replying to a topic simultaneously with Trasher's specific order not to, and Draco was informed by a frantic Josh through an instant messenger. He contacted FanGuy and asked him to take a look at the situation. The result at FanGuy's own best judgment was the lowering of Josh's ban to five or ten days, while Trasher was suspended for five days along with Delmore (he and Josh were why Trasher ordered the halt of the topic.) This sparked public outrage because everything a moderator does is taken as wrong.
Draco wrote a poem entitled "The Graven", a parody of "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, to explain what had happened. Although it satirically villified Delmore and Trasher, it was generally well-accepted and recieved moderate praise (although it broke the rhythm.) Draco was never issued any warning, verbal or actual, for its inappropriate timing or theme.
After That
Various dramatic events led to further problems in Draco's relationship with the administrative team, including an argument with Yoshiman, who was actually trying to lessen one of his sentences. Draco had become incensed because Yoshiman was simultaneously scolding him for whatever the offense was.
Draco was indefinitely banned on August 2, 2008, when he performed a Super Freak-Out and stormed off of the boards.
