Go, go, Caliya!!

Already deleted. They even removed Budner's post and the rest of that part of the thread.

And that fucktard Starr has the nerve to tell people on Steam they don't hide anything negative. What an ass and a liar.

So I'm starting to wonder if they are also restricting negative discussion to pledges as well so they don't discourage new backers.

I guess it's time to pony up $45 and create my spy.

Caliya's post, #39 in that thread was deleted. It was a reply to Aldo.

Aldo said:
I am on the same roller coaster. My feelings about the game, the mechanics, and etc. have been all over the place since I joined. I have decided to stick it out and make the best of it without losing hope for a game that suits my fancy in the end. If you decide not to stick it out, then let me be the first to ask: Can I have your stuff?

Caliya replied:

I had to laugh because this is what I saw happen in UO all the time, when people were so upset they left the game. Can I have your stuff?
But seriously, posts of this nature, and all the others insulting Nemo are proving him right (unfortunately).

I mean, people are essentially saying, "Don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out." And I can truly understand that attitude. There's no problem with that attitude or the people who want naysayers to leave.

Where the problem exists: if someone that's been invested and committed to the game leaves, how many more out there are like him? Who don't post? Who left the forums long ago? And who will never invest more? And will never play the game precisely for the reasons Nemo outlined?

I mean, yes there is a community here that supports the game. It's a niche market and community. If the game succeeds for them, that's really great!

But I think the point is: it's not succeeding for a lot of people, and possibly too many people. And the game, if its reputation goes down, you won't get more funding for the future. So we all have a stake in the game, even the naysayers who invested.

We should see her here soon... :-)

Yup. This is also why I can see why kb is so upset about certain things. We were sold participation, and when some of us participated at full capacity what happened? Ignored due to a serious failure in the crowdfunding model or passed over for favourites who donate more and suck harder.

Well, that's kind of where I'm at right now. I've got $800 into this so I guess a bit of  offline or SPO will be a diversion when I'm sick of other games.

I still wish I could sell my account, but I'm worried about doing that too soon. I'm wishing Port will fuck up somehow and there will be a cry for refunds. Hoping.

Hi everyone! Mordecai private messaged me on the SotA forums while all those posts were happening. So I decided to check out what's being said over here. I do not participate in any other forums and this is a rare appearance for me, but may become more.

Both that asshat Koldar and asshat Mystic have deleted at least a dozen of my posts in the last 3 days. The post that started this thread, yes it did happen and yes I did say that (and the others that got deleted). They are engaging in harassment to either make me leave or using my posts deletions to eventually ban me. There have been no reasons given to me, only that I was either "off topic" or "outdated information." I then asked them for clarification which information was outdated so I could know what was updated. They deleted that post too, saying it was off topic.

A post of mine that felt sorry for someone that had triple bypass surgery and told them I was sorry they had to go through that was deleted as "off topic."

A post of mine that joked with Budner (I was clearly joking) that I wanted to tell him to F off in the game was deleted as "off topic and inappropriate content" even though his post still stands, saying someone can come tell him to F off in the game.

I will probably get banned and join the rest of you here. But honestly, I really am probably going to leave the forum, as someone here predicted. It's just not worth my peace of mind.

Duchess Wildhair-up-her-a## seems to think just because she paid as much in the game as the cost of a car, entitles her to abuse anyone who disagrees with her, and her posts stand. I think her hormones are off, as she's out of control. So it's clear that everything I post, she's flagging as inappropriate. Poor little thing can't stand it when someone tells the truth and makes her scared the game will fail.

Most of those guys that are the most distasteful and nasty spirited are blocked to me, I don't even see their posts. They aren't worth my time.

The lack of ethics in that game development floors me. The greedy bastards are so busy counting their investments they don't even notice Portalarium is taking advantage of them too.

For the record, I am not a guy, I'm a married woman. My husband left the Shroud forums awhile ago. He doesn't even want to play the game anymore. Oh, and believe it or not, I never made a backup account on Shroud. Not that it matters now, with the $5 charge. I wouldn't give them another dime just to troll on another account.

Can't remember if I ever said you had a wang, don't remember saying it though

It will be interesting if real accounts start to come out of the woodworks though with real opinions... Especially when they get crushed and shat on by the rest of the forum like you do. So easy to see this coming.

Agreed. If everyone wasn't censored to hell, you might actually see meaningful dialog take place over at their forums. The moderators are so inept and make such bad decisions, they are partly responsible for causing a division in the forums. I see you guys in here slinging it out but I don't see the kind of vitriol here that I see there - at least not yet.

Btw, I like the title of Insane Carebear. Can I keep it? lol

Give her the tttle "Insane cum guzzling bitch." iM appreciates that shit much better. As in IMs words, "Just bring a rag."

By the way insane cum guzzling bitch... The dumb shits just flat out delete threads when they get too out of hand... They've been owned on several fronts.

Right!!??

I mean, I can't even insult myself over there, they moderate and delete even those posts!

Thank you for the welcome!

I've always tried my best to not attack character. Any decent moderator also knows this. But Envy, Gracekain (who now has other forum names), "Duchess" Wyld(something or other), Drocis and some others, regularly attack my character and get away with it. Because the mods want them to do it, those posts remain.

I'm not always level headed and yes I've gotten mad. But the posts they've been deleting recently were not even attacking staff or ideas. It was questioning their funding model. When many of us started using the industry-term "whale" the ones who know they're damn well guilty, started crying to their moms that I accused them of being terrible people. Now they'll ban the word whale, as they also banned carebear, land barons, and bourgeois.

In reality, it is not the fault of the whales for their own obscene behavior. Portalarium created those monsters.
