Enallyniv posted:Oh man, DOTA actually tells you when a report gets actioned? Valve tells you they suspended somebody, but won't tell you who. But if you only reported one dude and valve says they banned a dude, it doesn't take make logic to figure out who was suspended. Plus it's even better when you know that assholes are sent to rear end in a top hat matching so they will play only with other assholes (who are trying their hardest not be jerks to get out )

You may have heard of a game called Ingress. It's an alternate reality game where you look at your smartphone to capture portals, blow up enemy portals, and put up fields to get more points than the enemy. The level max used to be level 8 which is where you got the last level of gear. Niatic, the company that makes the game, added additional levels up to level 16. There is still an experience requirement (which you get for actions you do in the game) to get to the next level but they also added the need to get achievements, or badges, to get to the next level. These badges have 5 different levels starting at Bronze and ending with Onyx, each level harder than the last. For example, there is a badge called Pioneer that counts every unique portal you capture. You get the Bronze Pioneer badge when you capture 20 unique portals and Onyx will unlock when you capture 20,000 unique portals. All of the badges are like this with Onyx being crazy high to complete. To get to level 16, you need two onyx badges. One of the "easier" Onyx badges to get is called "Guardian". For Bronze, you need to keep a portal that was captured by you up for 3 consecutive days. These portals require energy to keep up which can be done through the Portal Keys you get from hacking it. Even when you are sitting at home, you can open the game and charge this portal up to 2000km away. For Onyx, you need to keep a portal up for 150 consecutive days. This means that at any time the portal is destroyed, the timer is reset even if you capture it right back. There are virus game items in the game players can use that automatically flip portals to the other faction and then control of the portal is given to the NPCs behind the virusii denying the player ownership which then resets the timer. Players love to hunt Guardians who could, by crowdsourcing, know the exact time a portal was put down count out 150 days and then know when to blow it up for maximum sadness. Another rule that is related the event is about the formation of portals. If a portal can be walked to from public access, it is a legal portal. This means you cannot live on a huge plot of land and put up your own portal if you forbid everyone else to go on the land. Actually, you could and can still do this. Maryland has a RenFair that happens once a year. The RenFair grounds have several portals available but the issue was that it takes place on private land. For times outside of RenFair, you would be trespassing which means that anyone would not be able to get anywhere close to it. Blue players are welcome to put up portals though, but any green faction players will have their portals blown up because the person that owns the land plays for blue. That aside, it turned out one year one real jerk of a blue player had his portal on the grounds about to flip. His and as well as 5 others were all soon going to get Onyx level tier. Even though the others were not bad, green faction really wanted to screw this guy. But it was private property and there was no way to get there. Then during a thread talking about what they can do, one person said what if you fly over it and captured it? Donations were taken and one person was selected via lottery to ride in a helicopter to be taken over the fairgrounds. Before takeoff, all the players gathered and dropped all their ultra rare viruses to instantly flip the blue portals to green without having to waste time firing XMP bombs. The lucky candidate picked them all up and got on. As she flew over, she infected the first portal to come in range with the virus. As soon as it hit, the public chat for the Maryland/DC/NoVA area lit up from the blue players slinging accusations of trespassing and how she will be reported to the police. In the middle of the attack, she saw below a black van race across the field to the portals in response to the attack. Someone was trespassing and he was trying to find the person doing it. It was then the black van realized that the player was not on the grounds but in the helicopter hovering above. Blue players congratulated the green faction on the well executed plan, but denying 6 portals 5 days away from getting the owners the Onyx badge still hurt.

There was a time when a there was an ability in everquest that could crash the entire zone. Monks and rogues got an alternate advancement ability (aa) when AAs were first implemented thay allowed either to, for 10 seconds riposte every single incoming hit making them able to tank anything for 10 seconds. Riposte was simply a replacement of a hit and turn it back to the attacker with an attack of their own. Looked sweet. The issue was the devs didnt count on two players dueling and both activating the aa at the same time. An attack turned into a riposte which was then riposted which then riposted back and then continued being bounced until someone stopped riposting. The server could not handle processing the thousands upon thousands of attacks happening every second and would blow out the entire cluster handling that server. That means it dropped everyone to character select while the GM ran around screaming behind the scenes until the cluster was restarted which could take up to an hour.I
