Ninespike Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 This entire debacle is going to end up being the death of our game. What do you think pops are going to be like when and if this is ever resolved? The longer it takes the worse things are going to be in the future.
Werew Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 Relax, Ninespike. Everything is gonna be alright. Zone'll probably go back up tomorrow. A week down isn't going to kill Chaos. Population will probably be lower until people that don't check the forums or player zones find that the game isn't dead.
»Nude For Satan Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 When it's back up and running, your eMail contatcs. social media links and whatever you can, to tell everyone it's back. We should be right.
Captor Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I suggest that for the situations like these we need everyone update their "nick" email adress. I bet mine is from somewhere early 2000, heck I don't even know what address it is or how to change it. and someone should have in hands a copy of that list which we could use in these situations.Those email addresses would be have big value, considering we want to keep the game alive and running, by not losing even those once a month logging in players.

»Nude For Satan Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 I'm not sure how helpful that would be as nobody has access to the eMail database or the rights to mail to it. Maybe I'm wrong? I'm still much keener on spreading news via in-house mailing lists and social media. There are a number of Facebook pages and groups for Subspace as a whole or various zones, etc. Hell, a number of 4v4 l33ts had their own group once, not sure if that's still running. TW and EG have big facebook communities. I manage one for Alpha West tragics and have another one for Chaos although I've never really pushed it on anyone (I need help updating it as I struggle for time and I feel its a letdown of a page while its so little managed). I have 3 mailing lists - one for any alpha west player who gave me an address (sadly two more addresses are now Return to Sender), one for dropships and one for ex-Alpha reunion players. I wouldn't be surprised if people like Hamburglar have contacts for some of the players on their squads. Others Skype each other when they play, I am pretty sure Gad did, That means they have contacts for those players. I'd take the risk of lame running and mine-repping turrets in CZ if it meant averting empty servers 24/7. Some people use that shitheap Steam as a social tool and would have some players listed as contacts. Various squads have mailing lists. One very long-running 4v4 squad - from reports - has a very massive one. As soon as the proper servers go green I'll be letting everyone, that I can, know about it. I can't guarantee the population won't take a considerable hit, but I can urge that there are options out there for keeping a whisper in the ear of players who are drifting loose. - Nude For SpamRefugees of Alpha West - https://www.facebook.com/groups/121271761234869/Subspace Chaos Zone - https://www.facebook.com/SubspaceChaosZone
Plutorus Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I've attempted to delicately procure the email list in the past with no luck. Maybe an in-house list would be best? This is probably something the 4v4 council could help initiate. The community would have to collectively choose who would be a responsible wielder of emails...my nomination would be Solar Hydro -Plut I'm not sure how helpful that would be as nobody has access to the eMail database or the rights to mail to it. Maybe I'm wrong? I'm still much keener on spreading news via in-house mailing lists and social media. Edited April 10, 2014 by Plutorus
Ninespike Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Posted April 10, 2014 How do we update the email attached to our username? When I enter the zone anonymously I usually type nonsense because I am so annoyed at losing the whole 2 seconds it would take me to type in an actual email. I also prefer not to attach my email to certain usernames although my IP address defeats that precaution anyways. So, if you are someone who has to review that list, my apologies. heh.

»Axe Demento Posted April 11, 2014 Report Posted April 11, 2014 The Game is the Game.Reliance on a Central node of names is weaknessYou can still play all the SS you want regardless of what other people do to a central location. You can write your own client, biller, directory server, chat client and continue to play SS regardless of what else happens.As far as creating a new email list. Just start doing it now or use a biller that collects the info or use a bot in your zones to ask for email. RE-AXE and carry on ...Axe
Ninespike Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Posted April 11, 2014 I should know better than to post to this fucking forum. If you ignore someone on the forum they should be blocked from seeing OR posting to your fucking posts. Hello? Otherwise we are forced to endure the above fucking nonsense and then we seriously start questioning our membership in this forum. Oh, and I already know you are going to post you fucking troll but I won't be reading as I won't be checking into the forum. Nine out.
»Axe Demento Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Nine you are a maroon I don't think SS is for you. ...Axe

Death Incarnate Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 i think nine is right, and its all of you, that have your heads up your asses about this.i have reason to believe this is it, that ss is done with.. and to you axe, you have always been a cunt, you will always be a cunt, and the only thing thatwill ever change is that you will be a bigger cunt in the future. http://youtu.be/3mjtsXaYRV8 is for the rest of you.
Death Incarnate Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 i just had an idea.... what if its true, that ss has had it... i think i have a plan.. i really do like most of you.. so what if we were to as a unit kinda invade another game... think of it, we already know eachother... (and yes axe you can come too lol) we know what we can do...i can just imagine if all of us showed up in some game at once..(im pretty sure we'd win haha)
GC6 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 Dislodge the corn cob from your asses,log in,hit esc+ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and go fly...HELP THE GAME , don't sit around and fucking TALK about what it needs... GIVE it what it needs.......YOU.
Gruntster Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Guys I have seen this happen more than one time since I have been here since 1996. Not exactly the DDOS however is still amazingly here. I was surprised when I came back last fall and saw the participation after 10 yrs afk from this game. We have had alot tougher shit to deal with than this back then and this will I am sure be worked out to a satisfactory solution. One way or another, as always ini the past, it will survive.

»Nude For Satan Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 ... and follow the instructions (this involves reading the forum and locating the pinned thread right here in the Chaos board) that walks you through accessing the interim Chaos zone.
Death Incarnate Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 ... yeah, im not going to jump through hoops to play this... ill tell ya what nude, why dont you follow instructions lol.
a tool Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 yeah, i have a non ss pw for this but.. i'm good. i can wait.
Bonus Booster Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 I could give a rip if someone gets my p/w... plenty of other good names still available like !Bonus corn cobb This game will never die... Every time I think it's done for I login a month later and you are all still here.
