Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo
-
Yeah. Gonna call BS on this. Cujo has known Rey’s player for a long, long (like well over 15 years by this point) time. He went so far as to tell ME when I was on staff that he was bringing her on as Rey from outside of the game because of how well he knew her. There is absolutely no way he doesn’t know how she behaves, and also this is far, faaaar from the first time that he’s driven off other people in response to Rey being upset about something.
This is what he does though. He outright lies about things to try and smooth it over, so you think well maybe I’m wrong to be as upset as I was. You’re not. He is manipulating you because the ONLY thing that matters to him is that he keeps the numbers up on the game. He is placating you to try and do that. That is all.

Rey’s player
I was worried for a moment you meant a previous player of Rey, who I haven’t been able to talk to since THE GREAT MIGRATION, and since CatLawyer appears to have stopped paying the bill, has vanished into the aether.
Alas, woe, etc and so on.

Okay at this point I need to ask that people actually post new episodes of drama I want to read instead of turning on the reruns.
(I’m being sardonic and not serious about actually not posting in this thread. I just want something to sink my teeth into.)

For some reason known only to Cujo and his cabal, every page on the wiki is now hidden behind a login screen. This includes the page with the connection information on the game.
Nothing makes people want to make a character on your game more than having to have a make an account on a separate website first just to find out how to connect to the game!

My guess would be control. He has always hated the fact that people who oppose him can still see what’s happening on his game, so this is just more effort to lock it down. They just don’t have competent enough people to make that happen in a workable way, they ran all of the competent people off.

Oh look, I was waiting for his patented
stfu bribeGrid Appeasement Tactic #23 to show up.We’re running through the Cujo Conflict Resolution Handbook again, which looks something like this.
- Let a bad actor run roughshod.
- Deny all involvement/responsibility.
- Tell people what they want to hear (zero regard to the truth) so they shut up.
- Hey look free XP!

Best I can do is cheer for his hockey team.

I lost my login here for so long. And somehow this nonsense is still going on.

I wondered why you went all quiet.

The bonus XP happened this time last year.
That’s how I made Roan. -
If that place weren’t such a s-show with all the issues, most of it on the staff’s end, it would be tempting. Been wanting to get in on an active SW place for ages, but the drama and cliques of that place…

@Roo I get on fine without them.
Make your own activity/stupid ideas. Worked for me. Currently working on a combat alt, Foxy. -
@Hobbie Agreed. DSS is a dodgy system at best, and the way AoA runs it (with its 200+ skills that need to be at 80 or above to be considered competent, dozens of language skills that need to be at 100 to understand what’s said in the language, total lack of transparency, ability to rig the dice to roll low to screw over players you don’t like, downright broken healing systems, glitchy space grid, etc., etc., etc.) is much, much dodgier. Especially when you consider that the effort to expand the stats gulf between newbies and dinosaurs is ENTIRELY deliberate.
Its own creator abandoned it for SW D20 SAGA Edition… and if you ditch a system for something as horrible as SW D20, it’s GOT to be bad.
If it could be broken down to base DSS, with an unbloated skills list, a language system worth a darn instead of one that eats up dozens of skill points, and all new and better systems to do what it currently does, it might be worth it. But the present DSS used on AoA is a disaster that just needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up.
(Catching up from an absence of most of six months; RL has not been kind of late.)

@Jennkryst Be careful with this one.
I have been involved with two games based on the FFG Star Wars system. The first one was proposed and promoted maybe six years ago, then went silent for six months without ever opening. And when word finally came from the developer, he said that he had become completely disillusioned with the system and was no longer going to open a game using it!
He did offer to open a Star Wars D20 SAGA Edition game if anyone was interested. Since most people there were trying to get AWAY from the horrors of SWD20, no one was.
The second was Star Wars: Chontio. The system it used was less the FFG Star Wars system and more the Genisys system, which is almost identical. The game was open for less than a year before finally closing down when the gamerunner got depressed about not seeing as much of the type of RP he had wanted to see on the grid.
The system definitely has its ups and downs. It works overall, but getting more than two successes in a roll is very rare. Difficulties requiring three successes aren’t as rare.
I hope you try, and I hope the game does well. Chontio was fun, overall, and I wouldn’t mind seeing it or a game like it return.

@Warlander I have manically drifted to multiple other ideas, Im sure I will wander back towards Star Wars at some point, though, so if someone prepares the code in advance and its ready to go the moment I am back in high-energy Star Wars mode, huzzah! Until then, there are like 6 and a half other settings in my brainstorm discord Im bouncing between.
