I mean, he was befriending nazis while using his forums handle. The moderation team never gave any details of the operation for "opsec" purposes*, but we only have the word of absolute idiots that he wasn't compromised and banning people and sharing PII on behalf of the nazis, so you don't have to give him the benefit of the doubt. *"Never allow an amateur to attempt counterintelligence" is opsec 101, as multiple goons pointed out to zero official response.

The whole thing was a lead up with the mods making the worst possible decisions in general, and for once without even Lowtax being involved. Also Koala's March supposedly trusted PPJ's word.

Somehow this is a silent take down. I then retrieved the extinguisher, walked inside and took out the rest of the office that way. Then I looked at their vmails (vacuum mails sent through a series of vacuum tubes in the city) So I guess I'll be getting this later today.

Nuns with Guns posted:Update to this: I've been playing it a bit and it's cool. AI is weird and very Must Have Been Rats but there's a real charm to the fully-modelled city block and so on, and the randomised cases are intriguing even if they can be hard and lead to lots of dead ends. I took a case to find a stolen prop gun and while investigating that, there was a random murder in the street outside - but I wanted to wrap up this gun case first. I was almost at the point of breaking into the apartment of everyone who knew the person who was stolen from, but then had the brainwave to check the security footage and was able to realise that one of her coworkers had been in the building at 2.30am so they were probably the suspect, and I found where they lived by checking the employee records at their job and then broke in and found the stolen prop gun. case solved but then the murder... granted it was like half a day cold at that point but I had almost no leads. Someone had been shot to death in the street, no witnesses, no cameras, nothing I could really fingerprint. the victim had a silenced pistol on them. I did have one lead though. I checked out their place of work and a coworker of the deceased had a personnel file that said they had anger issues, and she had some pamphlets about joining a cult which sounded like the stuff another murderer had in their apartment. So I traced down her residence, broke in, and I even found a gun in her apartment which matched the wound (a non-silenced pistol). She came home while I was ransacking her apartment and I beat her unconscious with my fists and then handcuffed her. Handed the case in and... I got every field wrong. Suspect, murder weapon, place of residence, etc. So I'd just burgled and assaulted some poor woman who had nothing to do with the crime. I got a $1000 fine for that. I'm not a good detective

The PPJ stuff is even dumber then it sounds Hello, posters of cspam. quote:Aran, the Something Sensitive siterunner, has now joined with the other group. Such a delightful group of people have found true love in each other's arms. Includes MohawkSatan posted:PPJ's story is legit. I've got the stuff he collected, and it's loving paydirt. Two loving years of logs, usernames, etc. I've barely touched it and I've got 22 usernames (less than half of which have been banned) and several of which I've tracked down and linked to Nazi poo poo elsewhere in less than an hour's work. Hell I've got a name and home address and a google street view screenshot of the Nazi flag in hanging in the front window of one of them. MohawkSatan posted:And all this is why I'm being very very careful with the info I've got, and what I've been managing to dig up. It's going to you mod types (for forums relevant stuff) because The Koala's March connection Koalas March posted:I didn't want to have to do this but gently caress it. Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Indeed. Blowing up a legit informant over cspam drama makes it actively harder to fight nazis on this site. I'm sure that sounds ridiculous but as more and more community interactions happen on discord, we rely on information from folks in those discords to help prevent planned abuse such as this. A month ago, everyone was *begging* us to do something about doxxing - this is what doing something about doxxing looks like. We don't control offsite poo poo and need folks in those spaces if we're to be anything but blind. The mod forum frequently discusses and permabans people from hateful offsite places because we want to prevent them from negatively influencing the forums. On multiple occasions I've personally done it based directly on information nazi alt accounts from PPJ. When QCS was closed after the mass banning of people losing their poo poo about PPJ Re-Open QCS already

Cranappleberry posted:is it similar to civilization or is it all about war? there are no win conditions that aren't military I think technically the galactic senate victory was supposed to be diplomatic, in that you need to get 2/3 of the galaxy's population to support you, but in practice the way you achieve that win is by having 2/3 of the population all by yourself. defeating the antarans is sort of a tech victory, but the way that you actually use that tech is by defeating a powerful enemy fleet It's a really solid game but it's about as expansive as you'd expect from a game released in 1996. It does a few things really really well instead of trying to appeal to a bunch of different playstyles That thing that it does really well is the tech system. There's a bunch of separate tech lines, and no mechanic forcing you to balance your research, so you can lunge far up one tree if you want. At each level, there's 1-3 techs, but you have to choose one, and the others are gone forever--unless you take them from your neighbors. So you have to think about what you actually need and respond to your strategic situation in what you think is essential and what you can do without. Then the military techs aren't just new units like in civ, they're ship components, and you design the ships yourself, filling them up with all the goodies you've researched. There's potentially some really interesting counterplay in designing ships that can answer what your opponents have cooked up, as well. The species are also much more distinct than the factions in most 4xs, and it has a really cool custom species creation system e: it occurs to me your question probably meant more like "what genre is it" and it's a 4x, not a pure wargame. So yes, it's like civ in that regard. cheetah7071 fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Apr 26, 2023 |

If you want something like Masters of Orion but a bit more modern, try Galactic Civilizations. It plays with pretty similar rules, though it does sand off some of the cool unique stuff from MoO in favor of supporting broader playstyles.
