Under rating threshold (show) So now that the hurricane is over, and we're largely unphased, what are you going to throw at us now delos? I know it's randomly generated, but you should really add a personal button for yourself. Like, a developer screen with giant red button for "nuclear mishap" and a bunch of smaller buttons with stuff like hurricanes and riots and tsunamies and stuff.

Well, I disconnected your account so you can reroll, but you won't get into the hall of shame that way.

Under rating threshold (show) Aight mate, I know you're a proficient programmer, but please get a different hosting company that doesn't glitch out on us at 1:00AM (prime time for clouting) Or at least gather some evidence and report the stalkers to somewhere or something.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

Feel free to use the time the game is down to go after the people I listed. You have the power to do something about it already. You can also contact the hosting company. Writing comments on the game, however, doesn't do jack shit. Aside from that: 1am is not peak playtime.

Developer response from delosford

Feel free to explain how cron just shuts itself off for 9 hours. The hosting company has also admitted the mysterious shutdown problems are due to their servers, not mine. Though I doubt it's the CIA or FBI doing it, as you would know if you had been paying attention. It's also a fact that the game has literally never crashed, and the only downtime of any import that wasn't caused by the stalkers was when I moved the server (which stopped their efforts for a while, which is partially how I know they're responsible.)

Under rating threshold (show) "The arbitrary game clock? Does anyone actually care? Everything happens at the same RL time." I overdosed taking one hit of cocaine after doing no drugs for 30 hours.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

Ok? That has nothing to do with the numbers on the clock. I can, however, tell you that players have absolutely no idea how overdoses work and a lot of mythology about them is circulated by people who try to game the system. There are purposefully a number of random elements in the system to stop people from working it out.

Based on..? Oh, the arbitrary time you got used to? Ok. Well, that's not really a problem, but I guess since it seems a couple people have gotten really OCD about it, I can change it back for you.

Developer response from delosford

I'm not sure you know what broken means. That also lasted for like 10 minutes. If that's actually the best you can come up with for "broken" in the 5+ year history of the game: I'm pretty sure you just proved my point.

Developer response from delosford

They're definitely annoying. Looks like they're mostly jealous that the game runs maintenance-free, when the shitty-ass cobbled-together systems they run require constant attention to keep running in a reasonable state.

Under rating threshold (show) EOD didn't trigger again.

Developer response from delosford

Stalkers shut off cron again. I didn't write cron, and cron doesn't have bugs like this, so it's obviously not a natural occurrence.

The stalkers is what's wrong. Also had a downing after an ssh login. So more info is getting released. Rejoice!

Sep. 11, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) This game is awesome! What do you think about a way to save equipment as a set? I like to accessorize for the occasion, i.e. Armor when i'm afk, high speak when passing bills, etc. and it'd be nice to just choose an 'outfit'

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

You should gain a better understanding of what stats do so that you can build a balanced set of gear instead of stat stacking (which is not optimal play).

Under rating threshold (show) I don't think EOD happened, at least not completely, the nation stats are the same as yesterday.

+ - !

(-1)

Developer response from delosford

I ran the scripts manually to compensate for what the stalkers did. It's possible things just didn't change much. If any bills still didn't get applied for some reason, they'll pass/apply at the next EOD.

Under rating threshold (show) Stalker are indeed a plague. What's fun in the possibility that you can't play the game when you should(as someone says)? Anti-Stalckers, as long as anything is legal and not dangerous, I will indeed support you as much as I can (but I can't do much). You already won my gratitude.

Realistically I won't be advising anyone to do anything, but the information is there should anyone see it.

Under rating threshold (show) Server is down. I hate this idiots! What's wrong with these 'Stalker' guys? What wrong have we done? We're trying to enjoy a perfectly awesome game and they come in and ruin everything for us! Dammit! Hell, i'm going to find a way to let them taste their own Cyber-Medicine! Maybe i'll rally some users to start a Anti-Stalker Revolution! Who's with me!!??

+ - !

(4)

Developer response from delosford

Well, you'll all be getting a rather lot of information about them today. I'm thinking home addresses, workplace addresses and license plates. They keep it up and everyone from their immediate families get released. Let's see if they care more about them than themselves.

kiraninja

Under rating threshold (show) And after they finally let the assassin into the hospital he kills El_Raton just because. Afterwards he has the nerve to try to get back into the hospital and they tell him to go away again.

sir, you're going to need to stop stabbing people. It's against hospital policy unless you're a surgeon.

No, the server was manually shut off by the stalkers. As such, their home addresses are going into global today.

Under rating threshold (show) I really like the Stalker Idea thing, it gives the game an extra twist.. You are trying to save the country while the programmer is threatened and sabotaged. Its like "The Neverending story"

Under rating threshold (show) Delos, I just want you to know that I have made a religion out of Timecube, and now yell at my friends "You probably don't know even the 4 day! You are a liar!". It's more fun than being a pastafarian

I think it sort of is a religion already? But like... with one follower. So maybe you're like, a splinter faction of timecube.

Under rating threshold (show) Perhaps a private investigator could be hired to look into the whole stalker issue. Either that or offer a bunch kreds or whatever to anyone who can do some successful amateur investigating on the matter and is able to dig up some concrete info on who is exactly doing what and why. There's got to be more to it than just that info posted in global.... If you pull the thread.... the sweater will begin to unravel......

Developer response from delosford

I have various federal entities looking into things already. Though, sure, anyone who wants to dig up information on this and give it to me can get cosmetic item rewards. Why not.

Developer response from delosford

A few people pay/blackmail/etc a lot of other people into messing with my life, including the game. Most of their attempts to mess with the game have slanderous undertones, as they try to make it appear the game has bugs that do not exist.

Stress can get down to -20%. It's kind of like a rest bonus for less active players.
