I- WE Love Sled (Wisdom)
•
12th August 2020, 05:57 PM
Hello everyone,
I think we all need some wisdom in this rough time. If you don't know what's going on, which I'm sure you do, there have been some altercations between Damen and Sled about something being said in a place unrelated and unmonitored by the DSGHQ. I'm not going to go into too much detail about what had happened, I just wanted to lay down the foundation of what happened from what we know by the given information that has recently emerged. Nonetheless, I hope you indulge in what I have to say about everything.
This was all crazy and it all happened so fast. I guess you could say that you could foreshadow this due to the post about the mailing system being the catalyst for this issue, but besides that, there was really no indication that this issue was going to prevail. I think that there are a lot of emotions in the air right now on both sides which can be both good and bad. It can be a good thing because it lets the community know how people are really feeling deep down instead of hiding the true emotions felt by the people in the situation. It can be a bad thing because when we use emotions to make decisions, that's when the choices we make could end up not being the best ones for everyone.
I think that it's great that Damen took into consideration everything that Sled had said and had been willing to work with her about the situation. He's in a vulnerable stage and he's admitting to some things being too harsh and out of line. He's willing to put in the change and to help everyone else move forward from a negative situation. With Sled, I think that it's great she's still on the forums talking about the situation publically and not keeping us in the dark about everything. She's being blunt and laying all of her cards out onto the table. I think that's what we all really need right now, straight bluntness and facts.
Once all of the information is out, I think we should all sit with it for a minimum of 24 hours just to soak everything in. Sometimes when things drop so unexpectedly, you sit there and try to process what had just happened. Not knowing all of the specifics and still trying to process things while trying to find a solution could also hinder your ability to address everything and see what can be done. I also think at the end of the day we're going to have to respect everyone's choices and be professional about how people take the situation and what they would like to do after trying to find a solution. If people want to leave after everything, let it be. I think that should only happen though after trying to find a solution is worked at.
So yeah, I hope this helps...

Thanks for including me in this post, Lou. It's great to see that out of a lot of people you can see that I'm not a rude person, I'm just blunt. I don't really know when the whole idology of me being a rude person started, it's kind of just been a thing going on for awhile. I'm just a blunt person who thinks logically. I'm happy you were able to describe me that way.

It's sad to see you go, but I completely respect and understand your decision for leaving. I know that we weren't too close, but you were a person that I could talk to when needed. Good luck with everything.

Thanks for this video, it's nice to have a visual explanation of how DMT works. This clears up confusion for sure.

I fully agree that DMT should be removed from the game as a mechanic as there is no way for people to know that it is happening other than them being attacked and killed. In other words it is too late. Alatar had abused DMT to strike people and in the process killed FlameDeathX rip that legendary acc
And in the process I had used my main to counter the attacks that Alatar had done in trying to eliminate his account that he was using for it.
We didn't have much else against anyone. Literally everyone in the war for NWO had normal health and some normal damage sabers. If you're going to nerf or remove DMT; nerf and remove the extreme OP health and extreme weapons.

Only wusses use dmt to kill
It's either use DMT or waste gold and kyber on another account that'll just be sniped from the walls anyways.

DMT essentially allows killing with no chance of reprisal and is being used for highly targetted attacks on staff members. Like Sled said, this is quite concerning. Hopefully something can be done about this problem, as it only seems to be getting worse.
These were not highly targetted attacks on staff; these were highly targetted attacks on people in the war, and staff happened to be in the way. Shah was an exception and even then there was payment to kill them.

if this continues there's just simply not going to be any moderators left the game is truly going to become hectic. something needs to get done soon
Things are already hectic WITH the mods. No one is targetting JUST mods.
Loki wrote on 9th July 2020, 12:01 AM:
Honestly, there is no good reason that DMT should exist in the game. And the fact that users who aren't trustworthy have it is very alarming.
The fact that it's all that the side that is known for being evil has is just sad. The fact that we have to resort to these cheap kills because the crimezone ignores us is just depressing.
Dice wrote on 9th July 2020, 12:20 AM:
Yeah can we just ban whoever uses DMT from this point forward? How did these users even get it in the first place? We deserve to know.
Had to find sources for things like DMT eyes. Also; sure.
The fact that so many of the Moderators are being killed by DMT makes me think that it's not just an accident. It's gotten so bad to the point that we're being warned not to go to places or use special abilities some of the Moderators don't even have to protect themselves. Some Moderators have no defense, so they can't even log on which is going to make them look "inactive" and make them get bashed by the community. I see how you said there was high attacks on people in the war, so what do Moderators have to do with the war exactly? It's been made pretty clear that Moderators have no Crime Zone involvement unless you hold a rank like Detective Inspector, Detective Sergeant, or you own an island that gets dragged into Crime Zone at random. I get that Crime Zone may not be noticing the evil part of the community, but why make people who have not done anything to you suffer? The deaths have been causing fights and some drama amongst the staff team of who is being revived first and crap like that. It's just annoying in all honesty. Doing the math, almost 1 Moderator has died a day since the beginning of this month.
I wasn't aiming for Moderators at all; I literally had no intentions of targetting moderators. If you don't understand; basically, it doesn't matter what room they're in, DMT shows you EVERY user in EVERY room. And also, it pauses at a certain position. So if they move towards the area that is being swung at, they can still be hit. This was not me "Targetting Moderators". If any other moderators died at any other time? That wasn't me, and I have no control over that.
I just don't think it should be used period. Considering the fact that you just informed me it can kill anyone at random, that makes it way worse. It's a very powerful weapon that puts everyone at risk, even people who had no involvement in anything which has typically been the case. I know that's all statistical and all about the odds of a Moderator dying, but it still aids the point that it shouldn't be used and become nerfed nonetheless.
Don't just nerf the DMT then; nerf the powers of the good side as well. Because that's quite literally the only reason this method was resorted to.

Execution? That's a little bit much over gold payments, you don't see banks in real life killing people because they didn't pay stuff on time. I'd say being arrested until it's paid would be much more appropriate considering too many accounts die anyway

Murder Mystery is one of the most fun games that has been brought to OldCP. With Baffed's Quest added along side it, the game nights never fail to satisfy me.
