I am Jack's banned thread

This is a bit of a tangent, but please explain to me how describing an action loop in a game is "assaulting" that game. I don't normally quote because I am forum retarded and I normally fuck it up but someone up there said an example of an "assault" is revealing the routes and items that merchants can use to make money.

Why?

I don't know if you know this but games are designed based on action loops. Even games that aren't designed with that intention follow the same principal. This is an action loop.

Login -> Gear up -> Hunt NPCs -> Get materials -> Craft or Sell materials -> Sell Crafted materials

To be a hunter you do this, basically. It is a loop which begins and ends with you having successfully accomplished hunting. For merchants that loop includes selling stuff in another place because duh different places have different prices. Just because RP games have RP doesn't somehow make understanding a mechanic a dirty thing because understanding a mechanic doesn't mean you'll ignore RP to take advantage of it. However knowing how the mechanics (and world) works just means you can make more accurate concepts that work with the game world instead of against it.

TLDR - Explaining shit even active plots is not an assault on the game. At worst it's against the wishes of the staff and players who want to stay in the dark. But otherwise it's just folk talking because people like to talk about stuff they like.

All people like Malifaxis or lurklard or whoever can really muster is a snarky comment or two without really getting into the meat and potatoes of this board.

They would rather make blanket statements/accusations instead of addressing some of the real problems, like abusing staff powers to help out your RL girlfriend's character... it's reasons like that which made this board swell, because if that shit was ever brought up on the GDB, it would get deleted in a blink.

So, posing as the righteous good guys, all some of them can do is feign snootiness, refusing to face how maybe they're a little resentful that actual wrongdoings - involving themselves/their friends - have been brought to light here.

Nergal was cutthroat, right? Well, you can look at that thread in the general discussion section posted in late January on the GDB to see the collectivism towards this board that has become the party line.

What's disappointing is when good players turn into the exact sorta Nyrfrey's and Halasters that they once talked trash about - when people you genuinely considered your friends grow resentful for having their misconduct pointed out and choose to follow in the footsteps of wretched dickheads instead of even attempting to broker resolutions or repair broken communities. Instead of being the bigger man and trying to right the wrongs of those who came before them, like Nyr, they keep the wounds open to appease those that granted them authority and even throw in a little salt to show they're For Real in their hatred of this board... which is one of the only places to speak freely about ArmageddobMUD outside of the group aim chats led by the same people that would criticize this place.

As if breaking the rules in private somehow granted them the right to act arrogant/spiteful. Spare me, lurklord, that kind of sneering condescension, and maybe go fuck yourself, too.

I don't think this board is the forum equivalent of Bernie Sanders having a bird land on his shoulder while mid-speech behind a podium but at least it serves to escape the authoritarian impulse to crush dissenting opinions about real issues that has become par for the course for the GDB.

I bet many of the people looking down their noses at their forum supported Sanders yet do not grasp the hypocrisy of embracing dated ideologies held by some members of staff that embody some of the worst things they hate that are currently going down in the United States, like media censorship, cries of fake news, etc.

That's just dumb... Hopefully just really trolly and not serious 0_0

multi-dimensional lmao

what even is going on here anymore

We lost our way Senpai!

Amos's Boots; you're either a good troll or a fucking retard. I honestly can't tell.

On a side note, is Armali really still alive??? That character would have to be like 80 at this point.
