Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo

@Warlander IMO it currently feels like those parasites/fungus that hijack bugs so they can reproduce. The bug’s still walking around, but it’s already braindead/not in control any more. It’s the parasite wearing the corpse until it finds the right conditions.

@SolarFlare One of several varieties of Cordyceps fungi. In which case I’m guessing the fungi are a certain group of staffers and one headwiz.
But to continue the simile, based on my own experiences, that bug can stagger around brain-dead for a long time before it finally keels over. Guess time will tell.
-
@Das-Auto Given that Mace Windu is the guy who almost defeated Darth Sidious, this sounds just like Banshee’s cup of tea.
-
@Warlander There’s also a bunch of parasitic worms that live in mantises and then explode out when it goes into the water.
-
@SolarFlare I’m so excited about using those in future plots.
-
@Arethusa And don’t forget that if you don’t log in for X amount of time (30 days? I can’t remember how long they set) you lose your ships, weapons, Vendor ownerships, etc.

@icanbeyourmuse said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:
@Arethusa Did the events say only Kora types can go? I would go to scenes to get rp that are not my thing if they are open even if the focus is specific people. I don’t know who Discordia is or anything and only loosely following this thread. Is she someone who has shown to be one of the bad people on the game? I try not to paint all staff with the same brush even if they staff on the same game.
Kora events are almost always exclusive to Koras, or their few non-Kora friends. It’s a highly elitist and exclusionary group (go figure, with who the players are). Unless you’re a hot female, then they make an effort to bring you in because Kora is basically a big brothel.
Getting anything on this game sounds complex. I assume the reason for limited ships relates to trying to get people to rp together. I don’t know if that is true. Though, Getting attached doesn’t necessarily mean ‘physical’ things. I have seem people invest in the characters stories and the people around them. I know I have stuck around on a game for people I enjoy talking to/telling the stories with. It sounds like it is a lot of hard work invested into achieving anything on this game, though. So, I don’t entirely blame some people for clinging to their character despite everything said about the place.
Ships aren’t limited. Cool ships are. Everything of value is hoarded, including good ships (fast, good for cargo, prestigious), leaving crap for the average player. At least that’s been the case, a whole lot of ships have probably been recycled with all the bannings and exodus.
-
@crawfish They’re terrifying. Do not click unless you want to see a bunch of worms exploding out of a mantis.
-
Confirming that the rarer ships of departed individuals were scooped immediately by staff alts and Koras who know staff alts.
To perhaps no one’s surprise, the only things left for the rest of the player base are table scraps. This is far from the first time it’s happened. It won’t be the last unless AoA dies beforehand, which is looking like a very real possibility considering their active player base has been reduced by around 2/3rds.

As I said before, denigrating sex work is no bueno.
-
@SolarFlare I’ve probably seen it! It’s horrible.
thank you for the share!ETA: yep!
-
@Pavel Is anyone denigrating sex work, or are they denigrating an insular cluster of dudes who apparently only have interest in women if those women can be paid to be sexually available to them?
-
@GF I’d say that describing such an insular group of people as a brothel counts as a denigrating remark against such establishments, yes.
-
@Pavel Clan Kora is probably more like suspect organizations like NAMBLA. The literal old guard get all the benefits, while the newbies get nothing but exploited.
-
@Warlander Well, frankly, I don’t like the implications of that analogy any more than the brothel one.
Y’all need to work on your comparisons and analogies.
-
Today I learned that a brothel is a place for paid sex work, and not a place where people go to have sex without monetary exchange.
In light of this, my play on words using the 1984 slogan doesn’t land as perfectly as I thought. I’ll remove it.
-
@Pavel A pyramid scheme is word people are looking for. Examples include Vampire Clans; Cobra from Larry Hama’s G.I.Joe comic book; Amway; Ponzi schemes. The protection racket that Girl Scout is running in my neighborhood is a completely different thing. Which reminds me the first is coming up I’m a box short on short breads can someone front me some cash?
-
Bang Bus. Clan Kora is just one big bang Bus at this point.
