@Pavel You’re shitting me right?

Seemingly not. It’s entirely likely that the salesman was fabricating that particular sword’s provenance, however.

@Pavel Oh yeah for sure. Lol so that just slightly changes how that story goes

It’s a guy with a mall wakizashi, his elder brother’s castoff trenchcoat one size either too big or too small, and faux-Lennon sunglasses with a red tint, trying to use a “demonic” voice to pick up girls.

Yeah, we’ve all met Josh the Obtenebrous.

I feel so attacked right now.

On the topic of wrongfun:
Oof. Today, on my way out of Liberation, ran across a true gem of a mammal, and they were very much clear on how all of the player base were having the wrong kind of fun and that they alone merited the use of a specific out-of-use book to generate their character, because reading posted help files am difficult, apparently.

Can’t say I’m not excited to see them flare out dramatically when the game refuses to kneel to their higher wisdom, as it’s cheaper than cable TV and less fattening than donuts.

@OnceWas This will be a fun read when I get home. Was the WrongFun book the one with Mummies, Wyrmies, Nephandies, or some other mystery book?

@Jennkryst No, it seemed to be a catch-all collective about how Liberation is running the game wrong, I presume. The log of the convo is available on request via DM. Maybe not my best work, although I have no worries about it.

Jennkryst

@OnceWas Of course they’re running it wrong. Anywhere that refuses to let me play the very niche antagonistic spheres I want to play is running it wrong. They should work on that.

It seems that, of late, the game’s website has been under some kind of DDOS attack (according to bbposts to that effect). So if you’ve tried looking at the site and it hasn’t loaded that’s likely the cause.

I know people DDOS websites for incredibly stupid grudges (I remember an internet reviewer whose site got attacked for not giving a video game a high enough score), so I wonder what imagined or real slight the attacker has against the game.

I have my own suspicions on who it would be, but I don’t have the facts and I’m not going to accuse someone of a crime simply because I think th

I actually don’t think its that weird. There’s a lot of reasons to wait. As the above posts show there are a lot of different people that have a grudge against the game and the people involved in it. So it could be any number of things. People take their funtimes very seriously. Here’s just a few reasons I can think of.

There’s the obvious idea that if it something like this happens right after an incident, everyone will be pointing the finger at the person involved in that incident. Since this is an actual crime, something you can go to jail for, you don’t want to go in hot and be the prime suspect. At least if you wait there’s time for other suspects to be viable.
Sometimes you leave off a situation feeling one way about, then later on realize that you view it differently in hindsight and have different feelings about it and what you want to do about it. Like, if you leave the situation feeling righteously justified and then find out that no one agrees with you, everyone wanted you gone for a long time, and everyone you thought were friendly with you come out to say you were the problem and that this is actually to everyone’s benefit, then your illusions might start to break down, especially about taking the high road. You might decide to try to ‘get even’ after taking months to realize you weren’t the hero in that story.
Sometimes other things happen in the intervening time that compounds the problem and triggers other reactions. Like, if you got kicked out of that game, but your behavior in that incident causes you to get you banned and booted from any other games you might want to play, but this world was basically your whole world and you spent 24/7 in it, but now you’re not allowed in any of those worlds and you can’t do the thing you really liked doing and instead have to fill your time with lesser fulfillments, then that could build up some serious angst over time until you do something silly and illegal, months after the initial incident.
It could not be targeted at all. It could be random. I mean, its not likely, but its always a possibility.

Don’t forget we moved!
