Wow, I looked into this, as it seems like a fun game to play, so I started to look around on the ss13.org site.

Oh, my, god.

The forums are a hazy mess of bots and angry posters decrying the goons, decrying the developer, decrying the decryers, and basically just swearing at everyone.

The wiki is practically empty, with nearly all the articles being filled by bots.

What happened here?  And how did the original developer of such a cool game become such a pariah?

More importantly, why didn't a similar thing occur here at B12?  What determines the success of independent developers?

You don't want to know.  Trust me.  There were two forums before it, which were a bit better, and didn't have spambot issues.

Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

So yeah, horrible metagamers that round. Johbson, remember how I said I was only non head AND lawyer. Well, everyone ran into my office and arrested me for being the revo having done nothing at all. Woose was a part of that.

On behalf of the sanity of everyone, I have taken the server down for tonight.

Also, beorn, weren't you throwing smoke bombs and spawning C02 as well? And turned invisible with a cloak?

Alright, fair enough. Not sure what the complaints were though.

Woose, no. Andrew I think was the one throwing smoke bombs, I went into my filing cabinet to hide, and I spawned CO2 after everyone arrested me for no reason.

Edit: Oh, I was the Revo leader that round, so if I DID have a cloak, I would have used my signaler.

It's hosted during the weekends fairly often, it wasn't just shut down because of that.

Beorn, sorry then if you weren't cloaking. I was nearly AFK when shit went down so I was kind of confused as to what happened. I guess people assuming you were the Rev leader was due to mind powers/telekinesis.  :P

I jumped out of a filing cabinet and said boo. I was then tazed, handcuffed, buckled in, blindfolded, and beaten. All with no evidence and no reason. They didn't even empty my pockets which still had the flash in them.

Maybe later, before I go to bed, but for now, no server, I think everyone needs some sleep. Plus I would really like to play something that isnt SS13 and when I host SS13, thats all I can play without extreme slowdown.

Also, OTT stands for what? Open Transport Tycoon? =p

I think the word you search for is "sentient". Not sapient. Seriously.

Sentience is the cerebral ability to feel emotion. Pain, pleasure and so on.
Cows are sentient.

Sapience is being able to act with appropriate judgement. To actually think and not just follow instinct or prescripted commands.
IE: Homo Sapiens.

Seriously.

I'd never want a sentient AI, it'd eventually just start sulking and write dreary poetry.
