Tikba is toxic personified and yet has the audacity to call me and everyone else he disagrees with toxic.
There was a thread created to call out the supposed MA armies ruining the game, yet the original poster (another part of the hate brigade but to a much lesser extent than Tikba) only really called out me. Since there is a supposed "no harassment" policy on Discord, they aren't allowed to say "Dreaven is ruining the game", but apparently they are allowed to describe me to a T and smear me in that fashion.
Here is an example of what I mean:
Mentioning 29 characters all doing bandits in Icemule. Gee, I wonder who it could be? Anyone who still plays this game knows exactly who they are referring to, yet they can openly call me a bot (implying I am afk and don't respond to the game environment) with no repercussions. I'm just surprised they haven't tried "I'm not naming names, but this person's name rhymes with Breaven." I mean why not? It would probably work. From this point on in the discussion people were free to openly smear me by just referring to me as "29."
But Tikba, as per usual, just couldn't help his hate-filled self and had to take it too far with this comment:
Just flat out saying I need to be banned from the game, which is of course the real entire point of the discussion to begin with, under the flimsy pretext of "No no, it's ALL multi-account groups!"
And again rather than actually, oh I don't know, doing something about Tikba in particular since he seems to be the reason why so many rules need to be made and why so many discussions need to be shut down, they once again shut down the discussion, and of course before I had a chance to reply to most of the nonsense the usual suspects were spewing from their various orifices.
Since I know a lot of these people secretly visit these forums (they can't admit it in public or they too would be shamed), I'm sure some of my replies will find their way back to them.
Here is a comment from everyone's favorite clown: Whirlin
Basically the number 1 complaint is supposedly that MA groups are creating large swarms making the hunting grounds unhuntable for non-MA groups, so people, who don't even have multiple accounts, were trying to come up with solutions such as having particular rooms in hunting grounds that swarm and other rooms that are normal, that way the MA groups can head to the swarming rooms and everyone else can stay safer in the non-swarming rooms.
Even though this would in theory solve the number 1 complaint, this was shot down by people such as Tikba and Whirlin for various reasons. The laughable reasons Whirlin and other gave is "But...but it pulls time away from the GMs!!111!" Okay so fixing issues affecting players suddenly isn't important if the GMs have to actually, oh I don't know, WORK?
Some of their solutions to ME (yes, literally telling me what -I- have to do because they have a problem with the way I play the game) is that I should do OSA. I told them I hate OSA, I honestly truly just don't like it. If I found it enjoyable why wouldn't I do it? Their other solution was for me to play Shattered, like why? Why should I play Shattered when a solution (swarm/non-swarm areas) has been presented? Oh right, because it has nothing to do with swarms, it has everything to do with the fact they want me removed from the game, and they aren't even shy about saying this, the GMs just laughably say "Well...they didn't specifically say your name!!!"
Whirlin putting reasons in quotes, as if I A) owe him or anyone else a reason to begin with and B) basically accusing me lying about the reasons I did give, but he's too much of a coward to admit this because while it's obvious it's open season to smear me on Discord, he's too afraid to tempt it and risk his precious Envoy status.
Whirlin and several others heavily imply (with one person flat out saying it and again with no repercussions) that the reason I am not moving to OSA or Shattered is because of "making" money off the game. Which is funny because I never/rarely see them bitch about people who make money off of paid events such as DR and EG. I guess they are fine with people making money from the game as long as they are plopping down 1k at a time in the form of SimuCoins. Imagine having to live with someone this insufferable that they turn a blind eye to something they supposedly hate as long as a multi-million dollar company is making more money.
