Tuluk closure spoiler thread

If Tuluk operates like Battlestar Galactica's fan theory than Allanak should be worried. There is a fan theory that cylon-ism? could be transferred via sex, probably because of all the rampant sex on the show. If mindslave parasites could be transferred via mudsex (prometheus reference) than Tuluki's could totally destroy Allanak!

Tracing the infection is just a matter of following who slept with who among the crew of the Galactica. The biggest evidence for a Cylon sex disease is that all Four of the Final Five Cylons either slept with Cylons or have links to people (carriers) who slept with known Cylons... Personally, I see the Cylon sex disease as a great way to pay homage to original series Star Trek. I always wondered how Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and other crew members could have numerous horizontal intergalactic alien interfaces and not come down with a case of sexually transmitted space cooties. Meanwhile, there were tons of galactic bugs going around: the aging virus (The Deadly Years), diseases that only affect grown ups (Miri), to the sweat transmittable disease Psi-2000 virus that caused Sulu run around shirtless with a fencing sword (The Naked Time). Not having an STD on original Star Trek (too sensitive an issue for the sixties?) was a real missed opportunity and could be rectified by Battlestar Galactica.

Plus, if Cylon sex disease eventually leads to topless Galactica crew members with fencing swords, I'm all for it.

I didn't write anything above this and am not partial to topless people fencing with swords, personally speaking.

I liked what Rath was doing with Tuluk, and i think given time the playerbase wouldve balanced out again more or less. my only issue with tuluk was that it was just so damned derpy, but there were good players up there.

As long as they dont do the lights in the sky thing again and keep the tense atmosphere going for regular players, this could be close to the Tuluki rebellion plot in scale. Something like this is what was missing from the game. The war thing just wasnt doing it...the game needed tension.

Sorry but Nyr already explained that the main reason tuluk is getting closed, is more or less because staff is feeling lazy and wants to reduce work load. The rest of the 'reasons' are just feel good bullshit that never really mattered to staff in in regards to closing tuluk, they just want to do less as nyr has specifically explained.

I want to like Rathustra, since they seem like they put effort into the work in the north but man talk about butt hurt. They bought into the staff arrogant bullshit attitude, and spoke out like they were big fucking shit when people were discussing closing tuluk, only to have all their work sacked, ultimately fucking forcing them to eat their fucking words.



Not even four months after this statement was said, tuluk is being closed. I too would hate to participate in the any forum where the big statements I've made have turned into nothing but hot air. I can understand that, however I am hoping the other bullshit said in that last quote still holds some water.

If a southerner went to tuluk, he could expect to die, many did. If southerns went into the rinth, they could expect to die, as many have. If northern tuluki when into allanak they too could expect to die. So since tuluk is simply begin made fucking virtual, I don't see why this should change. People can still roll tuluki, but expect life to be harder.There were many Tuluki players 'displaced' after the war changed,because everything they liked about the place became more and more shit with the constant changes and they didn't get any special fucking treatment. They just rerolled elsewhere or left. Thems the breaks. Don't see why northerns should have an easier time in the south, just because it was Rathustra pet project and other staff members seem emotionally unstable over this.

Seriously everyone is afraid of rest of the game getting fucked over this because staff is trying to accommodate other people in places like allanak. So why try to alienate the rest of the playerbase by coming out sounding biased towards the few people who put up with the shit called tuluk? Again I know there is a lot of butt hurt right now, but just remember the rest of the bullshit spewed in the last post, '...more armageddon players'.

Oh and considering the amount of work it would actually take to restart and reopen the Tuluk again, I really wouldn't count on the place ever returning. lol.

lol so many things with this sentence. "building a place to play that was difficult to play in" what is that supposed to mean? why is it seen as a positive thing that a major city is "difficult to play in" especially when the goal of Arm has been to draw in newbies?

second, nowhere was maintaining player density mentioned, cited, or hinted at all in the posted message:



but hey why let something minor like a complete contradiction put out through official channels prevent you from coming across like a condescending dick, rathustra.

Naw just ignore him and find out here hes not in charge of shit

The reason I think Allanak is as successful as it is, is because it's simple. Players always know what to expect in Allanak because for the most part it hasn't changed in a very long time. If Tuluk was similarly simple and given a few years without having things mixed up, It'd be thriving.

Well, they need to learn their lesson from Tuluk. And Arm 2.0.
