Automated Ball-Busting Spamcrafting Account Notes

You seem to be saying that I am outright lying about Nyr discussing the auto-flagging system, which isn't true. He did say it was to be implemented and was already being worked on at the time.

You also seem to be saying that the notion that the staff would cut away at a group of players who had formed up within a large and successful clan because their own clans/projects were starved of players is absurd. Actually, it's not. Sargax's player discussed having his play OOCly "steered" at roughly the same time, so unfortunately, I don't think metagaming to an unreasonable degree from the staff side of things is off the board.

Just because you have been left alone does not mean that others have been free of having their play altered to suit some "vision" of how the game is supposed to be at any given time. And what I am saying is, is that this vision has fallen short in huge ways in recent history, so steering players toward some "thing" while simultaneously affecting their play in noticeable and negative ways, well, it seems to have panned out like that in the not-too-distant past.

As as far as what, in my day, would cause me to want to write about things like this?  Well, I think there is merit in talking about Armageddon. It's good to exercise critical thinking about something that means a lot to you. I think maybe part of the reason as to why some things happen on Armageddon like they do rests in the fact that not a lot of critical thinking occurs about the right things. Also, until this board, there wasn't really a way to think critically about Armageddon without being censored, spoken down to, browbeat, etc. 

For the vast majority of my time playing Arm, the atmosphere led to people being scared to exercise criticisms against the game or the staff. It's probably true that some aspects of the game warrant more criticism than others - and that certain lesser parts seem frivolous in the grand scheme of things. Well, that doesn't change the fact, until recent history, such discussions were a quick way to get a player blacklisted. 

Well, now there is a place to discuss some of the things that some players see wrong with the game. Some talking points definitely have more merit than others, but I feel as though some players are just happy to finally be able to write how they actually feel about some things without fear of swift and brutal punishment. Then again, most people still post from an anonymous stance, so I suppose that the fear or speaking out against the staff - regardless of whether or not they are acting appropriately or inappropriately - is very much alive. 

@kronibas, I wouldn't say you're lying. You just don't have all the information, and you go out of your way to say you aren't going to prove you're right. Yet the burden is on you to prove what you're saying, not on us to prove you wrong.

Since you brought up Sargax's player's templar, I would say that staff shouldn't have told him to stop his plot. They should have told his intelligent twink HG assassin to stop ignoring large amounts of virtual and NPC soldiers in the same room just to go after PCs. Sargaxs player couldn't have known that about his HG though. That is another issue entirely though.

Kronibas there is a reason I posted multiple character logs and even request logs. I wanted to demonstrate to anyone who might question my statements and my experiences with staff that I was willing to show evidence and let them decide. When you first went rogue and outed yourself, I told you to post your request tool history. Afterall there is nothing to lose from doing it because you outed yourself as the real Kronibas already. Not to mention I confirmed yesterday that I am still not banned despite my posts and I have very much proven that I am Jeshin from the GDB and game.

But seriously people, don't post stuff that outs yourself unless you're willing to be banned. I only mentioned that I remain unbanned because some people claim that posting on these boards no longer leads to immediate banning and by all the evidence I have from my own account that is technically true.

TLDR - You want credibility Kronibas? Put your shit on the board if you have it. Find GDB posts. Copy paste your request tool logs into a google drive and link them. Provide RP logs of your characters. Give us your social security number, birthdate, and mothers maiden name.

There were always caps on clan membership. Always. Whether it's AoD, Oash, or the Guild. The Byn is the only real exception, due to the theme of the clan. It's the Byn, the Bin, the semi newbie-school, the expendables, the quick to die, the constant wheel of 300 sid recruitment fee and looting their corpses when they die to something stupid. Occasionally, the Byn starts hitting numerous good players new and old and characters begin surviving, which tends to swell up their numbers enough for staff to begin imposing caps. But that's not a penalty, or a punishment, or anything new really. It is simply a matter that Byn is one of the 'few' clans that does not have a cap, since out of 5 people recruited, 1 survives a year. But if things roll in a way that out of 5 people recruited, 4 survive. Then hell yeah, a cap will materialize. That is nothing new and nothing strange. Most clans, Wyverns, Tor, AoD, Legion, Winrothol, Oash have membership caps right from the very beginning.


I cant even comment too much on the whole automated note on spamcrafting. It's so ridiculous, I find it to be an awesome april fools joke. If ever the Imms wanted to assassinate any shred of Kronibas's credibility about his words and statements, they dont need to bother. He's doing it all on his own.

I'm just grateful that these Boards do not massively jump on the bandwagon of "Bash The Staffer", no matter how ridiculous is the topic and actually ask for something concrete. That, in my opinion, adds an immense amount of credibility to the message these boards sometimes carry.

*sigh* Kronibas, I really don't like having to do this.

1) The lack of clan caps when there were no people in clans does not mean there were no clan caps. It just means that no clan had become populated enough to warrant a capping of its recruitment

2) While I disagree with clan caps as a rule (see my posts on the matter in several locations on this board) they have nothing to do with the original assertion of this thread.

3) If anyone knows when the first clan cap was implemented and has some kind of date or request tool or post we can reference that'd probably help sort out how long they've been in place. Or if someone was willing to post in ask the staff about it.

Bitterflashback always super helpful still want to know who you are/were/is
