Claims, Theft, Etc.

I have the entire chart saved as an html doc, I don't mind giving the page code.

Now that I see his name was cogan, yeah that was me. Check out his house.

JTG: Nice job breaking it, hero.

I think what happened is Dwarfu was attacked by grievers ingame, grew upset, and removed the foodchart.

This text seemed to me to imply it was sabotage of the food chart site, not in game:

Griefers win, I no longer have the strength to recover from another absolute sabotage. I won't be back.

Could you post it here or pm it to me?

It doesn't allow me to attach .mht files :/ Mind if I use a rapidshare link instead?

Thank you.

Well in that case you have some nice codemonkeys working against you all or some very malicious people who saw the chart was unprotected. Maybe Zdazzle had his password stolen, considering he had really been playing the game a while, and had his hearthfire still in bluehaven, a thief would have left. a whole new slew of probabilities for yesterday's events.

Thanks But nah, I was roleplaying my character (or trying to at least) to give the nice guy/helpful guy but secretly a thief role. It just didnt work out as I had planned, oh well. On to another character, thus being a farmer, so don't judge from my past! Yo. lol, he's different so if everyone could not kill me again, it'd rock!

My sincere apologies to those that used and appreciated the food chart. I enjoyed making it. I'm actually surprised there were that many that used it. I'm happy it was salvaged and continues to assist you under new caretakers.

I, however, will not be actively participating in the testing of the game anymore. I play (and test) games to enjoy myself, which I am no longer doing in this case. I hope it goes differently for the rest of you.

I debated whether or not to address JTG (since he claims he vandalized my place) and decided I should. JTG, I actually defended you previously for your actions because this is an alpha and game mechanisms should be tested by us and evaluated by the devs for what works and what doesn't. However, since you alone have 'tested' this side of the game profusely, as I'm sure others have, and almost everyone and the devs are aware of the shortcomings, what remains is simply you wandering around being a twat - not really testing or looking for gain, but just to cause grief because you can.

The greatest assets an online game can have are the players, especially those happy few that go above and beyond to enrich not only their experience, but experiences of their fellow players as well. Unfortunately, when things aren't right, these players are the first to go, leaving entire game-worlds wanting for their absence. Even fully released games are not safe from this - UO saw it, in a slow dwindling decline, and SWG saw it, in a swift exodus (though, for vastly different reasons). I'm sure you all can come up with other examples.

Anyways, I never really wanted this to turn into some statement post, so I'll shut up and quickly be forgotten. For those that get it, hopefully we'll run across each other in another world, and it will be glorious.
