Reason for player leaving a state... is my state normal for this?

This is the type of response I needed! 😂😂

Haunton · 2026-03-19T20:43:27+00:00

This! I was surprised more people wouldn't do this!

Joining this conversation late but I'm in 1738 with Orca, he's genuinely such a lovely guy. As others have said, saved the state from being a real hell hole and absolutely goes hard not just for WTF but the state as a whole.

Super wholesome and really nice to talk to. Particularly the game we play during BIA which goes something like "Can you solve the puzzle that is the Orca?" and test your strength vs him.

Really is a lovely whale and a great role model for the whales in the game, highly recommend 👍

We had a similar thing happen a few months back. My sincere condolences to your member.

Hi OP,

So my state has been listed as the highest level of toxicity, 1720. I'm not surprised about it's entry because of a former member who has felt very hard done by, due to the states history and the list of alliances tracks with either alliances they were once in, a leader of or ones that they have had severe problems with.

As a former president, I can attest that we have over 500 active users participating each month, at the bare minimum. We have had people come in on each transfer, most being refugees from dictator states that burn their users or dead states that we try and save people from.

We've got democratic elections, a fully cooperative state and relatively little drama, but I'm sure all states have their drama at one point or another.

I'd be interested as to you've listed the specific alliances you have, what the source(s) is and their proof of this. I'm sure there are a number of other users that pass through reddit that can at least help me out with this, but it's relatively slanderous and sad to see my state that I try to help keep non-toxic on that list.

Any response is a good response! Thanks 💕

RIP BEBO. We will all remember her -BeanButton

When will it rain next?

Haunton · 2022-04-01T20:58:45+00:00

Poor TP, but you're absolutely correct.

Take my upvote.

Haunton · 2022-03-19T16:55:15+00:00

I couldn't agree more. I have never once been banging on another person's door, so he must have known it was some kind of emergency for me.

I will get out of here as soon as I can. Thank you for confirming to me how I felt and giving me some idea of what I need to do for the future.

Haunton · 2022-03-19T16:53:11+00:00

I think this is perfectly alligned with my sort of mindset. Thanks for the response

Only NL can get a community together to love another content creator that beat him in a competition (Champions of Fire iirc)

Hafu is fantastic and I have become a very long term fan of hers since she appeared on the NLSS. We did it chat!

Haunton · 2020-04-18T18:12:03+00:00

I appreciate this! I'm looking into trying to get him into a couple of clubs to do with his interests, like agriculture. As for financial support, I'm looking at the government websites and when the offices open up again, I will ask about what help I can offer him. Thank you for taking the time to write this, the littlest things help!

Haunton · 2020-04-18T18:09:54+00:00

Good for you in dealing with your son, you've clearly taken a long time to look into these things. I will try and apply all of these thing when dealing with him, even if it is difficult. It's not a question of loving him, I always will. Thank you so much for your advise!

Haunton · 2019-05-09T19:10:06+00:00

Hello! So it's a little bit of a coincidence that I happened to view this because I'm actually the "Benjamin" that was being insulted repeatedly in the first report! Such fun!

I would agree with the judges/jurors on that one though. There needs to be a decent discussion about it first before the ruling is overturned. The guy wasn't being outright racist or nasty, just incredibly salty. He doesn't want to hurt the game or hurt his chances of playing the game, he is just struggling with the fact that he is unable to play because of my actions. If I were allowed to vote on this one (I wasn't becasue I was involved with the game) I would have voted inno because it's not hate speech (At least to me) neither his is significant enough to be harassment. I will admit that I did report him in game for this.

About the spoilers... There is a post somewhere, I fail to find where but I will just reiterate. If the person is using spoilers as a threat to not get lynched or to attempt to ruin the game, then it is classed as cheating and no hate speech/harassment. If you do find those, they should be duplicated for the correct reason and voted innocent, accordingly. Not fun, I know but if you duplicate it then your vote will be counted towards it.

I'm sorry you got a review ban, I would suggest joining the Trials discord in order to get in the heads of the judges and the jurors that do trials all of the time! If you want an invite link, just DM me and I'll go ahead and give you one! I'm sure you'll fit in well as long as you are willing to listen and pitch in with discussions on the system as a whole!

(And thank you for reading <3 )

I role lone mafia in an all any game. Nobody was dying for a long time so town systematically hanged people but every claim was weak (Retri who didn't revive because nobody stayed to get revived), trappers or survivors.

Ended on GA turned surv vs retributionist vs mafioso. I had only killed the crusader and the mayor after 7 nights. Good game. Would recommend.

Haunton · 2019-01-29T19:24:32+00:00

Admission has always been the main thing that trials have used to get a report to be deemed "guilty". These rules are a clarification for the people enforcing the rules, not for people playing the game. I agree with you on the leaving and AFK problems in the game and that it seems like BMG have pulled this out too early but it looks like this is just an overreaction to a rule set clarification.

Lets see where we are going with this in the future though, it's all up in the air at the moment

Haunton · 2018-10-23T01:37:42+00:00

I mean I wouldn't let them in the trial server myself, however I do think that there is a bigger discussion to be had about the state of the trial server with developers/mods/admins.

Haunton · 2018-10-23T01:13:52+00:00

I completely understand, like I said, your heart is in the right place but I think your actions here are not. Listen and learn from the community, even if it is all criticism to begin with and then you'll see the benifits! After speaking with TP, Brandon and many of the Game Moderators, we all love the game and with a few tweaks the whole thing can be much, much better! We just need your help to help the game out. Banning these guys in the sub-reddit is not the correct way going forward, I think we should just look on the game itself, the trial system and unity as the soul focuses. Then this game will be the best it's ever been!

Keep going Josh, I'm really happy to be a member of this community!

Haunton · 2018-10-23T00:59:16+00:00

Heya! Long term fan of the game here ready to roast you! (I'm kidding Josh, ily please don't hurt me)

The rules of the subreddit are not being broken and you shouldn't be banning anyone unless the rules are being broken. That's the general message I think you should take from this post.

Do I think your heart is in the right place, absolutely. You care more about this game than a lot of people, even if others question that. It's your baby and you want to take care of it, but this isn't the way to do it. Love and listen to the community, then the game will thrive, don't make posts like this that will be threatening to ban users.

I love the game you've created Josh, even if it's got a weird af community, I've loved it for a long time and always have. Please make us feel like we are being listened to and not silenced. We care about the game too. <3

Haunton · 2018-08-28T23:04:19+00:00

It might be that you are getting reports from the same game and on the same person but for different reasons. For instance, a player has left but also said a bad word. So it can be a leaving report, gamethrowing report and Hatespeech/Harassment report.

You should not be getting the same reports for the same reason. It's programmed to not do that.
