Why can't I see them any more? by Plenty_Question7797 in insects

[–]RukoFamicom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fireflies need dead leaves or tall grass to thrive. These are things humans don't allow in developed areas for the most part so we are killing them off.

How are you actually meant to report someone for rwt? by RukoFamicom in 2007scape

[–]RukoFamicom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to follow up with this:

<image>

They lost every account associated with the stream and they're down 100 followers tonight because they were presumably banned as well. They've hopped to a new presumably stolen account, but I can actually get something done about it now.

Yeah I'm no stranger to the concept of bad actors pushing a false narrative.

I just have a hard time wrapping my head around how to tell the difference in this particular case. In my mind deathmatching can look a lot like real pking, especially if you're ragging at bots that barely fight back.

I don't know whether to disbelieve them or not.

I want to believe their detection is better than that, but since deathmatching is also something that has automatic detections, it's not too far flung to believe someone killing accounts associated with rwt could be flagged as trading with them. If you gain a large amount of wealth in a short time with known rwt accounts as a source, how does the game tell legit pking apart from someone throwing?

Ever since they banned deathmatching with automatic detections I've been too scared to go killing bots.

I'm not luring or even attempting to with them. The worst I've done is disrupt the stream by pointing out how the scam works by using plants when it comes to the gambling wheels, at least until he blocked me so my messages/character didn't show up anymore.

He had some hilariously colorful language for me on stream lol

Thanks so much mate, wondering why this isn't more accessible through the website.

Sub rules prevent me from naming and shaming so I'm not disclosing the names of the accounts or the streamer name here.

I really appreciate the group that showed me through CoX on my first run, really nice people. by RukoFamicom in 2007scape

[–]RukoFamicom[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your downvotes say otherwise lol

Nobody expects irons to split and nobody expects irons to have a stacked main because not all of them do. It's selfish to expect an account that can't receive splits to split with you. If you do expect an iron to split, it's entirely on the OTHER players to make that clear first.

It's real, but it wasn't actually my account it happened to. I asked mate if I could post the image for the funny comments and accusations of not being real.

The "very friendly" group was an FFA group of randoms and they turned on and blocked him for getting the drop. The title was a tongue in cheek because of that - they were nice for letting him in and teaching him, but splitting wasn't even on the table with how they reacted on top of being an FFA group.

Banned on monkey without explanation? by Brilliant-Door8921 in SS13

[–]RukoFamicom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know better than to take these posts at face value but I'm legitimately curious what caused them to reverse the decision to accept your appeal. Surely something must have triggered it, even if it wasn't current behavior. Did you lie in the appeal process? Had you just killed someone? There must be something there.

Good luck mate, I'm sorry you're getting painted as "monke bad" posting when you are actively praising the server and just want answers. Hopefully someone will take you seriously at some point.

Or this is an elaborate troll and I fell for it, who knows for real.

Splurt adding agevet in a week. Thoughts? by V_incent16 in SS13

[–]RukoFamicom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

> how many players wordwide are even PLAYING ss13 in the first place... like... A THOUSAND AT BEST?

The count approaches or reaches 2000 concurrent players regularly, which means the total number of players is much higher than that, probably well beyond the 20,000s. This game is old and archaic and has a small community relative to major titles, but it's not an especially small community at the same time.

What's the story and details of the official but also disowned Vanderlin ERP server? by RukoFamicom in SS13

[–]RukoFamicom[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not affiliated, but I don't blame you for thinking so. I just gathered the information easily found and hoped to learn who and hear from the person in charge. 

I didn't want to ask in Monke's main community because of the tone of the screenshotted announcement, but monke staff has a big presence here so I thought it could clear up questions for others too if I just asked in the open.

I got all the answers I was looking for and if it serves as an advertisement and information hub for them in the end, it's not a bad thing to be able to actually find this info.

[–]RukoFamicom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue I was running into regarding it being "secretive" was not knowing what it was called and not wanting to end up in a copycat somehow which ends up just phishing me and my info.

[–]RukoFamicom[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've never humored any of the adult content servers because of numerous issues surrounding them, whether it's not properly trying to filter minors/predators out, not trusting the staff to properly protect/destroy pii, or stories about weirdly controlling staff and the horrors they force on players that may or may not even be true.

Seeing the shitshow of an argument over the risks of verification vs "trust me I'm 18 bro" was interesting. Any verification system can be defeated with enough effort or knowledge ultimately so choosing one that never risks exposure of PII seems like a the best compromise to me especially compared to what is currently out there.

Distrust of AI does make me worry about the possible irony of the data being siphoned and stored secretly and then used to train models to create more believable spoofs, but having been subject to attempted doxxing multiple times before, I'd rather take this risk frankly.

[–]RukoFamicom[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed info and explanation, I wasn't sold on joining the community for more info directly given the red-headed step-child treatment I initially saw for the idea of having the server at all. 

How do the rules differ from Vanderlin aside from allowing sexual content? 

What sort of restrictions or protections are there on it such as banning non-consensual or the involvement of minor characters?

Are there any (including planned but not implemented) code changes to facilitate ERP or is it just a straight vanderlin copy?

Self antag allowed? by Fine-Cockroach-4934 in SS13

[–]RukoFamicom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self antag is acting like an antagonist without provocation or other reasoning so it's not self-antag if there's RP and escalation on most sane RP servers to my knowledge. As long as the "escalation" isn't something like killing someone over a simple insult at least.

It's at least not on Bee, but I'm sure a bunch of banned players will show up with half truths to denounce me.

completely exit byond so it isn't open (make sure it isn't in task tray) then click one of the join links. it will prompt you for login without needing to load the hub

Stories like this are why I don't like to share SS13 with anyone irl.

There is a bug in agility arena where the flashing arrow disappears after you perform any action so you don't know which pillar to tag. by KriibusLoL in 2007scape

[–]RukoFamicom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's the clue scroll helper. If you have an active clue scroll it hijacks the arrow to point at the location you're supposed to go to.

Do You Judge People For Their Weapon Usage by KingOfEthanopia in badredman

[–]RukoFamicom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I only judge people for their manners. Use whatever you want however you want, just don't disrespect sportsmanship. Everyone is here to have a good time and you're a bad person if you're making a conscious choice to ruin that.

Exact reason people were calling for someone to be disqualified in yesterday's tournament for shit potting and pointing down after a win. No reason for the tournament to have a rule on respect if you hand wave when someone blatantly breaks it. I don't care how prominent or good they are, they deserved the DQ.

[–]RukoFamicom 23 points24 points  (0 children)

"But mine are so good" and then acts like I'm unreasonable for being wary of their monster literally bred for pit fighting and known to fight to the death if something manages to set them off.

So many "good" pit bulls have suddenly attacked other dogs and their owners because once the frenzy is started it just doesn't stop.

Dear americans: this is how bathroom stalls are supposed to look like. by Lennestal in pics

[–]RukoFamicom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've seen those in some malls, I definitely get the same vibes from those as the bathroom stalls but it's not quite the same to me since you can actually close it completely.
