I'm aware you have been asked to do things to alleviate the lag. I've been on 10-15 nights myself, which is how I got such a bad taste in my mouth about the afk people and all the simucoins going in. As I said before here and in another thread, the lag is not your fault, but bad design. Denying that you cause the lag however is absolutely going to make people turn on you, because nobody here is that stupid.
Fortybox: the ;treim script (available on the ;repo and in a public github repository) was updated numerous times to help address the lag. Just sayin'.
Stumplicker: I'm very sorry you had such a negative impression of the reim nights with HOA. I was holding some west coast reim nights at 8 PM pacific for folks – perhaps you'd be open to giving those a shot if I start them up again?
Tgo01: to be fair, I was gobsmacked to learn that high steel and low steel were made enchantable. Neither of those are on the material difficulty chart for enchanting from what I can see, and were previously unenchantable (at least I know high steel was). I had the same reaction as you quoted when that was made known to me.
Honestly, I know you well enough to not even have hear you say this. It was my assumption from the beginning, and one reason I defended you on this from the very beginning.
I personally did not get involved in this just because I have a beef with HoA. Honestly, you know I don't like your MHO (I mean, I did get banned from your Discord, after all.), but that doesn't mean I have a quarrel with each individual member. I don't usually take forums and Discord chats personal, and I certainly don't take ire just because someone disagrees with me. It's why I'm not afraid to take your side on this (in regards to Nodyre specifically), regardless of my feelings toward your MHO.
I guess why I am saying in all this, is simply that my opinions on this matter are not clouded by any ill feelings toward your MHO, though great those ill feelings may be. I can only hope that HoA members look at their fellow members with the same unclouded eyes, including yourself.
I personally feel that enchanting Coraesine was an incredibly serious matter, and you won't hear me try to downplay it. I also feel that those who did so knowing it was wrong, got off with a very light punishment.
And frankly, to get onto some of the anti-HoA train a bit - This certainly seems to be a trend with your MHO, in its refusal to just admit when wrong, instead of bloody defending your position to the death even when you were in the wrong. Even I, though blunt and opinionated as I can be, always try to admit when I was wrong about something (Assassinate my character all you want, but I firmly stand by this statement.). But HoA is too elitest to admit being wrong.
What they are referring to as far as crashing/slowing the game down goes back a couple of years, way before I even started a Patreon.
When the GMs came a knocking a few months ago suggesting I was contributing to the lag (I wasn't) I refined my scripts and my methods even further to help alleviate the problems as much as I could. But I guess I did that "for the money I get through Patreon."
