Why is Pack closing?

@Tat Just imagine if they didn’t get banned, and they stayed to play. That would be one toxic person.

So wait - the guy in the log with Macha was reported and verified to be a creeper, too? lol

This same player, however, also did do some shady stuff by going through staff to ask to be given a home at another player’s build without speaking to that other player… Who was someone who asked for non-contact with them, and when I called them on it they told me “I was hoping we could be friends again”.

Game is still down, I’ve tried to restart it, tried restarting the full server, and tried doing a devstart. I’m not sure what happened as the logs aren’t being very helpful. I’ll try to get it back up.

ETA: Is it irritational paranoia to wonder if the game going doing when I’m busy RL isn’t just a coincidence?

@Cobalt I get you. When @Pavel installed the spoiler tags without warning and the forum crashed I was like at the error message. WHO DID THIS, ETC. Turned out it was Pavel added a much-needed and much-appreciated feature, BUT I STILL HAD THAT REACTION.

If it’s any comfort, the people you’ve listed as possibly having a grudge against your game have never showed the skill necessary to take a game down before, at least that I’ve ever heard of.

Cian/Bear was also that1ginger and Yossarian on Ares. He’s also a known associate of MacKenzie. The two are often found on games together and allies.

They’ve had a few other names as well, previously played Arx before getting banned from it for winding up staff for a laugh. Usually they just change their discord name to the new persona. But definitely one to watch out for.

You know, reading that log reminded me of those old, cheap, pulp, paperback romance novels that used to be popular in the 1980s.

There was a whole genera of them about women “sexually healing” broken men. The books basically revolved around a woman picking a man with a problem then “fixing” him until he was her perfect romantic partner. The very epitome of bad fantasy because it never works like that.

Didn’t hang around long enough for the game to close. Macha/Mackenzie drove me off by being a Mean Girl, and mispaging some smack talk ABOUT ME to me mid-scene, where I wasn’t even interacting with her.

Not @Cobalt 's fault. I just wasn’t interested in that crap. It was a great theme that sounded like a lot of fun, but that interaction just killed my drive.

@Tanvia

I’m sorry that happened.

[Tanvia]

@Cobalt Not your fault! I don’t blame you in the slightest. What RP I did have was enjoyable, especially in what staff-run scenes you had the time for.
