Wait. So you hacked the game and you didn't have a lynch mob after you?



No, I only changed Evo's alliance site, not the game.
I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

It's been a lifetime since my beef with you existed, why still bother to even lie about it anymore it's not like it has any impact on current game play. I know what you did, you know what you did, pang knows what you did, qzjul knows what you did, granted of those only i accused you of using database access to give out my country number and pang admitted you likely did it but wouldn't take any action regardless.

I dont deny knowing about suicides on evo before they happened, i never sponsored them in spite of "proof" being posted that I aided someone by nukevil? (I want to say nuke though it could have been that fluff ex ix then rival guy sanjivaiafsdaf or whatever his name was?) which when proved his math didnt add up simply suggested that I was so good at hiding it that I changed my nw change to 0 (which granted if I did sponsor a suicide I would be that good as to not have a nw change but still could up with a better explanation than that), but when people told me you were going to be suicided I gave 0 fluffs.

Ego and choosing not to be modest are two different things. There's an element of truth and an element of trolling to most of what I post on AT, isn't the latter what AT is for?

And for those of us that played long enough to remember when you actually played and quite openly claimed to be gods gift to FR it's really quite amusing to reference my ego. My assertions are based on legitimate understanding of the game and skill in playing it. I wonder if I'd get banned if I posted what things you did back when you did actually play. I assume I would, don't think you'd be able to take the bruise to your ego.

Whine-bragging like usual, then answering his own questions about my intentions + threats about outing me for things I'd actually love to talk about :p I don't talk about them as a courtesy to the others that were involved -- you're in that group too, SS. :)

For the record, and as I said last time SS made this threat, I'm more than happy to talk about anything I ever did while playing. From writing bots to market manipulation to special access I honestly don't care. I moved on from playing to leading to hosting admin to game admin over like a 17 year period and my attitude toward the game evolved as my role did. The petty fluff that I used to get so involved over makes me laugh today at how dumb it was. I'm glad you're still able to cling to those accomplishments like a badge of honor.


I'm part of that group? Name anything I ever did that was outside of the games rules, literally anything. I plotted and manipulated the same way that anyone did, but the difference between me and you was I never cheated.

You want to talk about stuff, lets talk about why you were went from head fr to excluded from all leadership discussions when I became don. How many countries were you running in e2025 under singapore ip addresses along with reignz and doll under the guise of safe list? My memory says 17 but I could be out a few.

Its a two sided coin - excluding 50% of the game play from the discussion seems hollow.

Also, FWIW, if you add up the collective NW of non-laf people that were taught basic netting skills by the likes of En4, DDan, Raheel, NiteL, oldman, etc - you would have an awful lot of NW over the last 15 years.


Realistically the reason I dont rank dragon is because dragon performed against fluff players. Being a breaker against war alliances isnt that hard... If dragon had a standout war performance against people like eug, chun, xin then I would have ranked him higher, but the fact is vs those guys he would never be considered a breaker all he did was wall, which granted his walling was top notch, but as far as wars go you can be a finisher all reset, you're not winning your alliance anything. I think given enough focus and exposure to top tier players he would have matched them, but he just didnt have the exposure to know what to improve in SoL and probably never really cared as he seemed pretty content just being the best of the warmongers.

Actually, TC stole DB credentials he shouldn't have had access to by crawling a bunch of files that were poorly protected on the server's file system. Hanlong abused it instead of alerting me to it, as someone who professed to be looking out for the best interests of the game wouldn't do. Both are in the fluffbooks for that but we don't need to rehash that again.

I don't care what Evo admins did to their own site. It was theirs to do what they wanted with it. If they ever did it to Boxcar, that would have been tantamount to doing it to the game.

It doesn't matter, my whole post stated it doesn't matter anymore hence why i asked why you bother lying about it anymore. I'm more than open about how i messed with evo and essentially turned you from neutral to enemy because i didn't like your leaders and to avoid more damaging wars with ix, wog, sol and sof. It's been what 8-9 years since I was don? They are just funny stories now rather than having any impact on the game.

Still denying I ran a network of suiciders? I was never even accused of that before, but for what it's worth I never ran a network of suiciders against pdm or evo. Dont get me wrong I was told of the odd suicider hitting before they did but I assume thats just because people knew I didnt like you so it was a way to brag.

It's not a funny story. You just made it up. Since you want to hear funny stories I'll tell you one. Back when the game was still new a certain alliance accused the admins of changing the game rules to penalize them and to benefit someone else. We were still trying to be good game stewards back then so we did a full investigation. It turned out that the game functioned exactly how the alliance thought it used to work. Nothing was changed. The guy who failed a grab just did the math wrong. At the time I didn't realize that was the first in a string of hundreds of similarly baseless accusations from a loud-mouthed, destructive group of players.

A lot of the conspiracy theories thrown out really are quite mundane. I don't think that people understand what having full access to the game's code and database actually means. Who gives a fluff about a country number? If I was out to get a player and I didn't care about ethical boundaries I could have done something like edit the IP of a country that got grabbed a lot to match the IP of the player. The player would then get deleted for cheating. Since it's impossible to prove that a player isn't cheating that player would have been screwed. The players who think the admins are out to get them should think about why that never happened.

On the subject of cheating, some players seem to have the idea that as long as you don't run multies anything that you do in the game or on the forums is okay. Not running multies is the bare minimum. There are many different types of cheating in this game. Some range from extremely destructive to arguably beneficial. There are also many different ways that players can interact with the community. Some of them are extremely destructive. It used to be disappointing to see the pride that some players take in being so destructive.

Um ok? I don't remember ever suggesting anything about attack formulas that was wrong, dr formulas were wrong which I told you and provided evidence of but you know... why would you listen to me it's not like I knew anything about the game or anything.

There aren't really many different types of cheating, there are things within the game rules and things outside the game rules. There is unethical gameplay i.e. sending spies into other alliances, and things of that sort granted that was once common place again it was something I never did. If you think my time playing the game was destructive by positioning laf to the in the best possible place then I'd say you and me have differing views on what the game is.

My douchyness was political and grew my alliance (we went from what 4-5th? best alliance to the top alliance in the game both netgaining and warring, without anyone really close)
Your (and anon/kj can get grouped into this as well) douchyness was out of being sour with no thought to the impact it would have on your alliance, and took evo from a 70 odd member alliance with a relatively high standard to a tag that I wouldn't trust to beat a spam tag in a war.

You really want to argue I was destructive by warring you once and then giving you a three reset pact? Granted I ran a few more wars after that, but they were wars you got yourselves in while I was completely away from politics, that was just for the enjoyment of hearing your whine.

The people that destroyed the game were the ones thrust into leadership due to a lack of alternatives that didn't know how to run an alliance, and those that while capable were too bull headed to compromise for the benefit of their alliances. At least from when I last played LaF/SoF was the last power coalition, the fact that they ran the game for so long without much competition reflects badly on the people leading the rest of the server rather than the policies laf/sof undertook.

Not everything is about you. I thought we were having an honest discussion here. Instead you replied to what you hoped I wrote instead of what I actually wrote. You even edited out the paragraph that you don't want to respond to in the quoted text. That's cute.

Let me try to steer you in the right direction. In no part of my post was I saying anything about Evo. I'm sure that your political maneuvers 10 years ago were just sublime but who gives a fluff? I don't even remember the stuff that you're talking about. It's not important to me.
