How can we lose so much more than we had before

Personally I am more curious to see how the case of Five Hundred Pound Diabetic Star Trek Online Player vs Perfect World Entertainment, Cryptic Studios, et al goes in court.

Is that the old red matter thing from the Collector's Edition?
It looks like the new red matter capacitor, which they've given out a few times. The only difference is you can only claim it on one character instead of all of them. Cryptic has been really alt-unfriendly since DR launched.

On cryptic getting sued over DiScObAlLs

I never said I had it someone else that does said that. lol, I am just mentioning what the person with the source said. Also they do have laws against it in certain countries. You will be surpised, there is some very odd laws on the books. but laws against harrasment is on the books for good reasons. They can be legally sued over it.Maybe it will get thrown out but in some places it might not be.

Cassandra mentioned their memorial in ESD zone, and someone mistook it for Dental's. This launched a mini-meltdown.

[7/23 11:20] [Zone #1] Cold Ethyl@aloishammer: Indeed, great ships at that beautiful Anton Yelchin memorial the other night. Kudos to Dental for that great show of love for a life lost too soon.
[7/23 11:20] [Zone #10] Cassandra Saturn@rcassandrasaturn: gently caress Dental
[7/23 11:21] [Zone #10] Cassandra Saturn@rcassandrasaturn: i had nice private memorial for Anton Yelchin before they did their event. it was in response to my memorial event
[7/23 11:22] [Zone #1] Cold Ethyl@aloishammer: At least Dental doesn't troll by claiming they're going to give away things they don't have like that troll...what was his/her name again, that was begging for keys?
[7/23 11:22] [Zone #22] Azure@warlorian: Cassanadra?
[7/23 11:22] [Zone #22] Azure@warlorian: she begs for keys a lot.
[7/23 11:24] [Zone #16] Chip@chrislauren: ugh... Dental...
[7/23 11:24] [Zone #10] Cassandra Saturn@rcassandrasaturn: Dental is also known for disrupting Leonard Nimoy's memorial event on Vulcan
[7/23 11:24] [Zone #12] Leordi Gaforge@taylor1701d: they only dirupted if your attitude was set to view "party balls" as a disruption
[7/23 11:25] [Zone #1] Cold Ethyl@aloishammer: Funny, I was there and saw Dental celebrating Nimoy's life while a bunch of sad sacks whined about it not being morbid enough. Different strokes I suppose.
[7/23 11:25] [Zone #10] Cassandra Saturn@rcassandrasaturn: guess whose Nabreeki has it out for most hated person on his list that dates back to 2010
[7/23 11:25] [Zone #8] What the I-I E I_ I_ 04-29@drolkrad1: Your imaginary friends,..dental
[7/23 11:26] [Zone] Nbreeki@nabreeki: people whined and moaned about Vulcan, so we took their advice and hosted our OWN memorial event, and people still whine
[7/23 11:26] [Zone #10] Cassandra Saturn@rcassandrasaturn: Nabreeki has been attacking and insulting lots of players
[7/23 11:26] [Zone #12] Leordi Gaforge@taylor1701d: Actually...tbh, the nimoy pilgrimage everyone made to Vulcan was the most glorious thing I've seen a community do in any video...even MassivelyOP had a report on it
[7/23 11:26] [Zone #10] Cassandra Saturn@rcassandrasaturn: not to mention he degraded lots of girl gamers
[7/23 11:26] [Zone #1] Cold Ethyl@aloishammer: Dunno, whose incessant self-focused behavior has brought down Nbreeki's ire on their persecution-complex-infested self?
[7/23 11:27] [Zone] Nbreeki@nabreeki: Look, we were going to attend Cassandra's memorial, but people were up in arms and said JUST MAKE YOUR OWN. So we did. 243 people came.
[7/23 11:27] [Zone #1] Cold Ethyl@aloishammer: The most "degrading to girl gamers" thing I've seen was some tool in the forums claiming (s)he couldn't tell time because of trying to be a woman. Go figure, huh.
[7/23 11:28] [Zone #10] Cassandra Saturn@rcassandrasaturn: i have fought with Nabreeki since he started it on the forums by attacking my gaming website for players
[7/23 11:29] [Zone #1] Cold Ethyl@aloishammer: And that "other" memorial was what, two people counting Cassandra. Bajor was overflowing.
[7/23 11:30] [Zone #10] Cassandra Saturn@rcassandrasaturn: after all, Dental is just big fat troll fleet who has no love for players
[7/23 11:31] [Zone #10] Cassandra Saturn@rcassandrasaturn: all they do is troll others
[7/23 11:37] [Zone #1] Cold Ethyl@aloishammer: Gonna go shoot some poo poo. Keep up the good works, 'breeki. Study and you'll get that telling time stuff figured out eventually, Cassandra. *POOF*
[7/23 11:38] [Zone #10] Cassandra Saturn@rcassandrasaturn: i already figured it out thanks to a friend. bye
[7/23 11:38] [Zone] Nbreeki@nabreeki: lol
[7/23 11:38] [Zone #10] Cassandra Saturn@rcassandrasaturn: jerk.

This person is stuck in their own weird black-hole of reality. She's spiteful because Dental planned a more successful in-game STO celebration. Good grief.

Reddit seem to be adopting the position that none of this happened.

"Reddit posted:

If it did happen, why would the winner tell Dental first, instead of actually contacting the RA leadership with screenshots of the abuse so we could throw the offenders out of the fleet?

Their response to the harassment of this bloke seems eerily similar to their response to the targeted harassment of feminist writers.

WHO'S THAT POKEMON

Completely stumped.

reddit pubbie posted:

Well, it was "undeserved", for it was, and on the other hand, you should take it as the very clear statement that it is--that people in fact don't seem to like you, are rather passionate on the subject, it would seem, and have no intention of sitting on the sidelines again if some gaming "master race" which has a reputation (deserved or no) that it can do anything it wants, anytime it wants, decides to make a public resurgence: the vehemence probably comes, I would suppose, because they feel like their concerns were not listened to in the past. For the record, I've mainly only heard stories, and of course, seen the actions at the Spock Memorial, which I didn't care for. I wasn't there for what I gather is the true heyday. On the other hand, having spent a life around Type A+ personalities, I do recognize cockiness, as well as when people think they are just Level 70 minds in a Level 20 world. I have no doubts that some/many Dentals could outplay me in this game. I also have zero, repeat zero, doubts that I have done some things in the real world that they never bothered to try, and probably couldn't have done. Being good at a game does not justify everything in this world.

My own personal view on the group is that I've seen enough that failure of PWE to control them would be legitimate grounds for eventual loss of license, as a detriment to the world of Star Trek and the ability of fans to have a Trek, versus gaming, experience. The issue is thus not harassment per se of any one individual, but the larger one on general in-game decorum. STO is not the Daily Show, with Dental as the host, doing as it will. I am quite sure Starfleet Dental agrees with this, which is why it and I will have no issues, and I am quite sure it will understand its own past behavior caused any issues it had, and it will work to regain people's trust, and thus it will understand that as it rehabilitates its poor reputation (seemingly well deserved), things will happen, and it just needs to understand this.

Cheers.
