That's really quite lame. What did I get banned for, being a half-knowledgeable player? Bah!

It's not like they can hold the 'terms and conditions' or whatever you had to accept in the sign-up process against me, you click that link and it takes you to some random page that has neither terms or conditions on it. At least it did at the time I signed up. :\

Bah.

[Sappho]

Sounds like they should get the game ready to be played and managed before opening it to players, beta or not.  I haven't tried to sign up yet - I think I'll wait until they sort themselves out.

[HailFire]

I'm in Denzi's town.  I believe he has indeed been banned, all of his messages have been edited out and threads locked.

Hey, sweet, we're in the same camp.

Also, I'm pretty sure that 5 of the six dead guys here were banned, since their cause of death is listed as "Shot in the head!" and I don't think anyone here has a gun (the other guy drank cyanide), and their posts on the town forum were deleted as well.

ED: What does building with a box of matches do?

[Zangi]

So basically, they are going on a banning spree already.  That is really nice to know.

I'm not sure it would be fair to say banning spree- there's 32 living citizens to the 5 who may or may not have been banned.

Denzi, have you tried joining another town? It's possible you were just killed arbitrarily rather than being banned (though I don't know how the death system works; there could be a waiting period before you get to reincarnate in a new town).

Also, building with matchsticks requires a log, so I assume it's a campfire of some sort.

ED: Our town's gate's lock has been completed! Jubilations!

[Sowelu]

Matchsticks allow you to make a very pleasant scale model of the Eiffel Tower.  Hey, everybody needs a hobby.

[Denzi]

Nah I wasn't killed. What happened was I Was playing and looking into starting to build a work shop when all of a sudden I was back at the front page. I figured 'Huh, must of timed out or something' and tried to log in again. Kept getting 'incorrect password' even though I knew I Was using the right password. Spent like 10 minutes trying out various different ways to type the password (like typing it in all caps and all lower case, incase I accidentally had caps lock on on accident)

No dice, can't log in, they just changed my password to something else and when I try to sign up again it gives me the 'incorrect invitation code' error.

Really a silly move "Oh hey, this guy did his research about the game and is talking about a function that, while it is mentioned in the help guide, isn't actually implemented in the beta! Lets ban him!"

I was having a lot of fun with it, but now I know I most definitely am not going to spend any money on the game....

The French were adept of the "Losing is Fun" philosophy long before Dwarf Fortress.

I'm French and this made me lol hard

Does midnight come at real world midnight or some in-game time?

[Cthulhu]

Technically, most of us are using an exploit to play, since we didn't actually get codes.  I'd consider that bannable, so maybe that's what's going on.

[Denzi]

Shouldn't be bannable though in my head, if they left a hole in there and a couple extra testers got in what harm would it cause to leave them in? Big woop, a whole six people got into a town that only had at most 12 people (at the time I signed up, there were 11 people besides me in the town, and four of them got themselves lost outside)

[Ricky]

how do i get a beta key?

[Fikes]

You used an exploit to get into their game and they shouldn't ban you? That's Madness!

Is the game fun?

[Denzi]

Just how is it an exploit? At best it's a bug on their end for not setting the log in process to authenticate the invitation key. I could understand getting kicked if I, oh, hacked my way onto their server and added myself an account. But them leaving an opening (That everyone who simply forgot their invitation key would use as well) is a different story.

[Sowelu]

Exploit or no, they didn't want you there, so they removed you.  Cry moar.  It wasn't open to the public yet and even if they left the door open, they subsequently escorted you back out of it.  That's their decision and I don't think they care much if it makes you upset.
