Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo
-
@Anony-Mouse I will never side eye a gamerunner not wanting players to run discords about their game.
I mean, clearly this Cujo is a real piece of work in every other regard, but on that one point? Yeah. I got burnt out trying to mitigate all the harm players caused each other on player run discords.

@hellfrog Indeed. The only game I know that does this is Sindome, and well that is a trash fire. Meaning the thinking he can cover things up, not the discord bit. People will always talk, but if it is good or bad is not my debate.
(EDITED: Clarity)
-
@BloodAngel I run a Discord that’s tied to my game. And while I would love to not need it(and I have tried, believe me, to discard it), I think the only reason it works at all is simply due to the fact that there are barely more than twenty people on it. If the game was larger, nah. Hard stop, that’d be relegated to garbage bin.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

@Testament No I mean it’s against the rules of the game to talk about the game. PERIOD!

@Anony-Mouse said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:
On AoA, Cujo & Creeps also listen in on pages. They also have the habit of quietly removing players’ ability to speak on the Public and Newbie channels. I know of several people who had this happen after they spoke up on something Cujo didn’t want to hear about (a subject Cujo himself brought up in one case, and in another case giving chargen advice on DSS), or said something that made him look stupid or uncool (which was only pulling off his mask). If you’re still on that game, don’t say anything in pages you don’t want them to hear. They will.
I am very, very, very, very much aware as a former Staffer that use of the suspect system was not to protect other players. AOA paired with Generations of Darkness where Kitty also abused the use of the suspect system has made me VERY wary of playing anywhere that has Penn or Rhost.
I have very vivid memories of being a victim of the suspect system when I was struggling with an OOC romantic relationship with another player/staffer where I was talking to someone else about it and those pages were passed along to the person I was with at the time.
When Staff starts using a system meant to protect players from abusers to instead spy on players they don’t like or to get dirt on people, that’s a big red flag for me.

It’s amazing how you don’t even think about a game and suddenly it gets brought up, and you’re like:
Wow, the shit I remember thinking was “okay, but sketchy” in my yesteryears and now going “Holy shit that was abusive in reflection,” and it is obviously still going on.
No one has publicly called them out for it before, and I just walked away from AOA after an attempt to come back 8-ish years ago and never looked back.
-
I am mostly mystified that this dude hasn’t been tarred and feathered on the public commons before. So to speak.
let it be a challenge to you
-
@sao Yes…yes, so to speak, yes…

@sao Kick him into the Sarlacc pit, he can spend eternity with his bestie.

(I believe Banshee used to be a coder on SerenityMUSH)
I played one character on a Firefly game, but unless I am mistaken it was Into the Black, not SerenityMUSH. I have never staffed on a Firefly game.

See also: weekly +paycheck also pulling percentages based on the skills, but the careers being in no way balanced. Some careers need 20 skills, but pay less than another that only needs 8?
Or maybe they finally fixed that.
From its conception, my code has always been balanced around a specific target number of credits earned per xp spent. This has never been true.

Banshee, Cujo’s best friend and resident lurker, has also been known to creep on the ladies from time to time, some of them my friends.
This is the first I’m hearing of this.
Also, I’m not a “resident lurker”, I just fix code–Most often without saying anything. I didn’t know anyone was expecting anything else of me.

Well, now you’ve heard of it. So what are you going to do?

This is Banshee, and before anyone takes him seriously, know that he would modify Force code on the fly because he was losing a combat scene.
Still, now that you’re here, some questions have been asked that may be answered.
- Why are @pemit and @remit not restricted when players like Hadrix use them to fake rolls?
- Why does @sweep send a staff-only alert when a player uses it?
- Why did Force Lightning change right after your Sith character lost a fight?
- Why did Force Deflect change right after your Sith character got shot?
- Why did you appear in this thread after it came out that staff set a romantic partner suspect and snooped on her messages?
- If you’re a coder, why does Cujo keep telling people he doesn’t have a coder?
-
@GF Well, I can’t prove that I didn’t do something someone accused me of, so I’m at a loss there. All I can do is welcome further enlightenment regarding those instances and check my behavior into the future. I don’t know how to provide restitution for something I don’t know existed and still do not know to whom I owe it.

-
@64bitjedi So, just to be clear on this, your response to being told your behavior is creepy is to say you can’t change until the people you’ve creeped out reveal themselves to you in your position of authority with all the risk that entails, and also personally instruct you in how to do better in the future?
I’ve spent the last five minutes trying to think of a profanity that encapsulates my exasperation, but nothing covers it. Never mind. Just keep on doing exactly what you’re doing, 64bitjedi. Clearly the fault rests with all your victims being too lazy to do the work of making you a better person.

If you’re a coder, why does Cujo keep telling people he doesn’t have a coder?- Because nospoof exists, and nobody has suggested to me that was happening.
- I don’t know who set that up or why.
- On March 11 2020, we posted an update to the Force Skills specific +attacks. AFTER the conclusion of the referenced scene (in which I realized it had not changed), on August 17 2020, I posted an update, stating: o +sinfo electrokinesis now reflects the intended update from March in its text. It is entirely possible I forgot to make these updates to the helpfile themselves.
This post still exists, and the timeline associated with it. The update was made after the conclusion of the scene and posted publicly for all to see. Heck, you can still see that post. +bbread 8/128. - I dont recall +force/deflect being modified, other than turning it off when we added the more robust command of +attack/deflect.
- My understanding was the claim regarding a member of staff setting Blu suspect was done by a very brief and former HeadWiz of the game. Blu and I have a history, and it is possible nobody told me about this or the spying on her private scenes because I would have responded poorly to them doing that.
- Because I don’t do everything he tells me to do.

@GF No, I also said, “and check my behavior into the future”.
