Hey, there's a name I remember fondly. Thanks for being one of the good ones, bud.

Arm had 15 people on peak today. Crazy low for a Sunday.
I think if they botch this response they've definitely got a dead game on their hands. Even the hardcore boomers won't be satisfied with 15 people on peak.
Question is, how long will it take them to get to the damn response? They're bleeding more players by the day.

Yesterday was Cinco de Marcho. That's always been a historical lull period. /s

Damn, it peaked at 15 on a Sunday? I frankly hadn't thought that this recent mess would actually kill the game, but now I'm wondering. I had spent the last six or eight years hoping Arm would eventually work its way out of this mire of stagnation and degeneracy, and once more become a game I could play for more than a month or two our of the year. That's looking unlikely. I never hoped for the game to die, but if it can't save itself, maybe it's for the best that it steps aside. If you can't set a good example, at least serve as an effective warning, or however that saying goes. Staff drove this game into the ground with their incompetence, complacency and malfeasance, plain and simple.

Fragmented's post on the GDB has real vibes of 'if you dress like that, you deserved to be assaulted' that has that delicious toxicity that I've rarely seen outside of a man who has played Arm for 15 years.

That about covers the people who decided to keep playing, I bet.

Wow. Fragmented's post is awful in all kinds of ways. I hope he enjoys his dozen fellow players across the globe who feel the same.

I *loved* Armageddon. I hope they get better. But when I played, I was subjected to manipulation, gaslighting, and unfair and uneven measures. I tried to resolve these issues via the proper channel, and was brushed off. If I didn't care about the players, the settings, the lore, and the history, I wouldn't be here. That's why I posted legit feedback in the non-player feedback area, based on my experience - things that would have prevented at least some of the discomfort I felt. But I just HATE the game. No. I hate that people who remained behind the curtain gave me a complex about staff members on games and traumatized me, and I hate that it was covered up. I have always and will always care about the good, respectful, thoughtful and lovely players and friends I made over the years. It's clear people aren't happy, maybe you're lucky enough that you didn't have a bad experience, but discrediting everyone else's experiences as 'woke' culture. You better woke up and get your head out of your hole.

I think halcyon's post was the last straw for me. A brand new player moderator, supposedly the first step in making the game a better place, is advocating for a player witch hunt and permanent bans over a stupid bug that has been fixed for a year. This in a thread calling for feedback about massive systemic change following egregious staff rule breaking and irl stalking. I left the discord and the tiny spark of interest I had in the game again (which I think I see now was the "I can fix him!" part) just sputtered out and died. i was promised a minecraft server where is it

Sometimes I'm reminded the people who play this game are literally old men. This is one of those times.

Also, this is like the Stanford Prison Experiment all over again. The switch-up of these player moderators into already talking and acting just like staff is honestly super comedic.

The shoutbox says what it is, not that it really matters.
