That implies that the reason for ragequitting and bittervet was illegitimate.
Games have a lifespan before the shit builds up. I explained this to a few people but basically...
You can play Armageddon for about a year to a year and a half before the bullshit piles up and the games issues get to you. Shorter if you have direct negative staff interactions.
You can play Haven RPG for about 8 months.
Arx about 1.5 - 2 years.
SOI forever (if you don't mind being alone).

Inconsistent rez policy has been discussed and lambasted on this forum already. Consistency or bust.
EDIT - Especially because being present doesn't matter on a text-based game where you can see the runlog with timestamps if you want.

PS - Admitting staff accidentally killed people due to incompetence and then didn't provided rezzes even when players put in requests for rezzes because of irregularities is not better than this staffer went out to axe someone. Covering up mistakes and punishing players despite knowing it was unintentional or an error is actually worse.

My last serious Armageddon character Elrum 'banished' Irofel had more animations than my others. I was probably near 20+. The fact 'banished' is his middle name might clue you into the longterm trend of those animations. I think staff animations are like smoking. Everyone knows it's bad for you, but it can be enjoyable, and sometimes you really really want one. The high is good, but hard to keep longterm. Also like smoking it is a foregone conclusion that no one talks about that staff animations are linked to staff abuses. In that inarticulate, shrug/meh/gut feeling. Why? Because unethical and questionable staff mean you expect unethical and questionable animations and some claim of bureaucracy behind the scenes preventing that is pretty laughable. Was there some kind of weekly runlog check for animation commands? Did you have to submit TPS reports? Is that system why we have 10+ staff and like no significant amount of game plot over the years?
It's okay though just like Lucky Strikes from Mad Men, this new generation of staff is 'Toasted' and they're okay.

#1 You don't need to apologize to me. I never appealed my ban. The communication between staff and I are actually available on this board and probably on that archived mudconnector thread. I have said (multiple times today) I was a valid target for a ban which is why I never appealed it.
#2 I am glad you finally admit that it is what I did NOT say and not what I said which is the problem. My actions speak louder than words. I never hosted the material. I never supported spreading it. I never brought ANY of the discussion about it to my forum. I did nothing to publicize beyond TMC and this forum that there was even a ridiculous attack on me and my community for something we didn't do.
I know for someone who writes a lot but backs things up little it might be a foreign concept for you to understand speaking through action, but I did. It is not my job to defend Armageddon (although I have been fair to it) and it is not on me to announce my support or lack thereof towards something.
#3 Whether you like it or not I am a public figure in the community. Am I a big figure? No. Am I a particularly good figure? No. I am however a figure because I write what I mean and I don't quibble. When I edit I post I clearly mark it. I never take back what I say. I do it all publicly, openly, under my name. I do this because I believe in honesty and I enjoy a good debate/argument. I had very high hopes for OR and for my game. They didn't pan out but that doesn't mean I don't have hope for the genre and it doesn't mean I don't still make posts to that effect.
#4 No one is saying that Staff cannot do whatever they want. It's their game they can do whatever you want. You can do whatever you want. People are saying, hey maybe those other people are wrong... or assholes... petty... or culpable in some skeezy shit that happened in the past.

I might argue some of those changes are not because of these boards but the larger game culture in general. Like MMOs, Single-Player, etc etc. Armageddon does want to retain players. Gaming culture has moved away from the older Arm culture. You are likely to see the pull whether this board existed or not. It's just the inertia of player expectations against the traditionalism of the old way they did things.

So I can stop derailing threads.
Qwerty
$100 bounty payable anyway you like
Proof I supported hacking of the code dump or wiki leaks.
Rules: You have to cite something. I don't care if you cite 100 posts and go the first letter of each post spells out I support hacking. I don't care if you cite this post and just the I support hacking bit. It won't win but my point is. You cannot just link wholesale to a thread and be like. You decide! Provide your evidence, sir.
EDIT - You have 1 year and 1 day!

I believe that is a list of confirmed banned players that posted on these boards about their bans and how they were related. Anyway as for my personal ban. I have LONG maintained that when I posted by request tool history I was 100% a legitimate target for being banned. Furthermore, I maintained that if you violated YOUR games specific policies on OptionalRealities you could/would/should be banned. That I had 0 problems with administrators following their own stated policies. I could disagree with those policies but I believe if you have a policy you should follow it consistently. I didn't care that I was banned. I cared the pre-text for my ban and I carried that they might target USERS of my forums who did not have anything to do with anything. EDIT - But I'm a big failure fail pants and don't have active forums anymore  |

Fun fact
I have never actually looked at the wiki leak (or the code dump). Even after the claims that they were pulled by someone with legitimate access and not hacked.
I did DISCUSS multiple ways the staff could actually salvage plots and NPCs from the wiki dump.

You couldn't even cite a specific post you just linked to the threads wholesale?

So you're saying your gut said I supported HACKING as a means of getting information and that is your evidence? Then you link to the public threads where I didn't actually support HACKING?

I was actually attacked both for the code leak and the wiki leak  so take your pick. I'm glad that Armageddon staff get to punish a community voice for discussing a community topic. Mayhap they would like to ban other community voices in the future (who aren't even playing anymore or never played to begin with?) |

I wasn't punished for years after I outed who I was until the code leak happened and then Redranger and I both got banned. His got lifted. Mine did not. Have you appealed? You should appeal, if not. I don't think any real damage was done by that code leak. I think the code leak was the best thing that ever happened to Arm discussion. It spills literally zero secrets, ruins nobody's fun, and enhanced the enjoyment of all of us code grognards because now we had a consistent basis for learning. Even though significant portions of the code seemed to be superseded. I spoke with Adhira via the request tool. It was determined I was a baddie. Also I have said multiple times in the past that I had violated the games rules by posting my request tool history on these boards. I used to even point out that I had yet to be banned. Then the code leak happened a significant time after I quit and I was banned by association and my own forum was attacked on Mudconnector by Nergal. I reached out to staff to obviously go hey Nergal appears to be trying to drag my name through the mud. There was an entire thread on Mudconnector before they overhauled their forums of Nergal attacking me over a code leak that was 1) not on my forum 2) I never asked to happen 3) I refused to apologize for discussing. armageddonmud.boards.net/post/27994/thread |

so take your pick.
