Stalkers actually just shut off cron for about 9 hours this time. Frankly I have no idea what they're even trying to convince people of at this point. The server gets shut off randomly at the VM level, which has nothing to do with the game, they stop cron, which I didn't write, and sometimes they shut off the server right after I use ssh... which I also didn't write. So there's three problems occurring due to them currently and I don't even know what they're trying to sell as a lie at this point because they stopped making sense a while ago. I just ran the appropriate scripts, so the game state isn't even affected.
Though it may be part of the game, having a large portion of the "old players" conspire to lower the salaries to nothing is counter productive to the games player base. Understandable they'd want to keep the power to themselves but this is getting out of hand. "Won't somebody think of the children!?"
I'm not sure why you're telling me? I didn't tell them to do it. There are also a lot more of you than there are of them. So you can probably do something about it if you'd like.
