Maybe you should try another MUD, a hack and slash or something until you're in a better headspace.
Is your computer good enough to game?

Well shit, Kron, this is what you get for hopping on a plane to a foreign country and not obeying their "laws." The People's Democratic Nation of ArmageddonMUD would fall into anarchy without "laws."

I wish they would listen to Old Kank and just release the damn code... the only reason i like playing Arm is the permadeath and roleplay. My computer is a $200 Wal Mart special. i wasn't having any trouble playing Arm... i think it helped me. but then the retention thread was brought to my attention and I see imms betraying their real attitudes by talking shit. haven't they read some of the stuff Nyr wrote to other players? why would they not be horrified by that and have some UNDERSTANDING as to why so many people have come here. even malken came here. with him being one of the main ones talking shit. i just genuinely do not understand.

who did i flame? i wasn't trying to flame mordiggan... i just got upset when i saw them making NO attempt to understand why people came to this board. yeah, it upset me. i automatically asked to have my account deleted after getting that upset, though. and then malken flames me... and in return, i flame nyr... so they perma ban me. so they delete my post, not malken's, and then ban me. ??

Dude, there is absolutely nothing about Arm's code that makes it irreplaceable. You could make a MUD with roleplay and permadeath using many codebases out there or writing your own.

*hug bitter*
Doesn't take much to be nice someone. Thanks dude. You're a good guy, and i mean that. If everyone who played Arm was as smart and nice as you, it would be a lot different of a game from an OOC perspective.

some staff on Arm like to be confrontational and standoffish... if they would learn from nyr that escalating conflicts with condescension or snideness isn't the way to go, they would keep more players.
not saying they should go around kissing everyone's ass, but a little understanding and empathy go a long way.
just seeing a couple of posts from bitter calmed me the fuck down. as opposed to half a dozen ones poking at me.
this is supposed to be a community but only a few people act like it. many, it seems, are still on that "us vs them" kick, at least from what I saw on the retention thread.
the world is full of too much senseless damn barbarity as it is. things like ArmageddonMUD are supposed to be a haven, not a source of shit talking against players with legitimate problems.
reading just a small sample of stuff nyr wrote to players demonstrates that many concerns were, in fact, legitimate.... again, it is hard for me to see how staff refuse to acknowledge that unless they were friends with nyr. like urine moose.

so they said it wasn't the last time i'd be banned... then at the end of it they said it was the final ban.
i must've pissed off someone so bad they could barely type or think straight. Heh.
whatever... banning me for flaming nyr is just refusing to acknowledge how many people he has flamed/insulted/been a total dickweed to.
the staff should be denouncing him and what he did. instead they're banning people who are glad he's gone.
Sorry...... that's not the change I was expecting.

no one ever apologized for halaster or bhag's abuses, either... it's like they don't ever, EVER want to acknowledge it publicly when people make a huge mockery of what a solid leader admin is supposed to look like.

my only hope is that someone will come along one day and do to nyr's legacy what he tried to do to sanvean's.
retcon his retcons, re-write his docs... fire his friends who are still on staff... just clean house of everything nyr.
it will be a glorious day, indeed.

Dude, there is absolutely nothing about Arm's code that makes it irreplaceable. You could make a MUD with roleplay and permadeath using many codebases out there or writing your own. We've always talked about how Arm is easily replaceable if some one dedicate came onto the scene, had the motivation to get a half-decent code base done, and stick with it. The only thing Armageddon has is really is a loyal community and the documentation infrastructure in place. I'm always curious about EoE but can't bring myself to play or try it out. What I hear from players and former makes it sound like "not my cup of tea". If anyone, brought a nice modern engine with features not seen before, had a solid team of dedicate staffers/builders. The other RPI's would find their lunch eaten over the course of a year. But considering how I've seen players from both Arm and EoE act when regards of game staff/creators then I can't really blame some one for not wanting to deal with such personalities. No offense to anyone.

EoE has some code that has been sorely lacking in Arm for a while now, the ability to look in diagonals, for one. Their smallish staff is very active, and if you want to craft things or report a bug they will go out of their way to implement it right away, in my experience. My personal experience with them is they were assholes, but ymmv and it's a well-made game with active staff (for better or worse) and a lot of fun shit to do. Myself, I'm banned from EoE, even Arm's staff hasn't banned me which says a lot, I think. My advice, if trying EoE, is to have fun with it, but the second it seems like staff is shitting on you, take a step back from the game, take a deep breath, and come back when you're calm. Their conflict resolution skills are kind of shit, but if you can get around that, you can have a fun time with the game.

Kron, you had to know when you made that post that something was going to be made of it. You shouldn't let weak personalities like Malken bait you out.

The staff really are what's wrong with Armageddon. There have been some great RPIs in the past, but now Armageddon is the only reasonable permadeath RPI on the market.
Would love to see a few programmers and builders get together to right the wrongs of Armageddon. Bitter? Delerak? Lulz? Ah, maybe one day. Anyway, I feel you kronibas. I really wish I could go back to enjoying Armageddon. Fuck the gdb and the staff cliques and fuck the losers on here that treat it like a secondary gdb.

I was not in a good spot for that post or the one i made in the same thread beforehand.
kmart... you said you have me on facebook. so... you probably saw that meltdown i had there at the first part of the week on there. it's not just about Armageddon. after that melt down is when i sent a request to have my GDB account deleted because i just didn't trust myself to communicate about sensitive shit like the retention thread. but i had already read it and gotten sorta upset.
i'm proud of myself for just walking away from it after i originally necro'd it... i am. that took will power. but then several days later i saw Nergal's attitude and malken making jokes... hell, even laura mars had a laugh at my expense despite her idol catching a felonious arrest for the same shit i did (weed)... so i was just upset. and had been upset.
admittedly i was surprised that they would delete my post and not malken's. not as surprised as i was seeing staff members slam this board instead of nyr (what they SHOULD be trash talking, not those he abused), but yeah, genuinely surprised. and it was disappointing.
anyway... i am just going to step back and try to fix myself before playing the game. good luck to people still playing. like i mentioned in my post to chaosisaladder yesterday, i hope the new players have fun. I'm definitely jealous. Wish I could just start with a blank slate, but out of 16 years, i have never played Arm from any account except kronibas and don't intend to start.
wish me luck.
