I can see this issue still bothers you greatly. But honestly, you had been asked to not bring it up public, then jumped and lashed out on someone in public. Did you really think no one was going to care? Better people have been banned for less. I've gotten warnings for less from Psychout of all people, and that was something I was discussing via PM with him. You could have taken the high road, you didn't. Was the alt hunt even going on at that point? Psychout and Sustain weren't mods as near as I can tell, which meant only Burn was, and Burn mods a lot of forums and doesn't have time for a lot here. Did those alts cause any harm to the game? No. Doesn't seem like it, as no one was banned. Did it give them an unfair advantage? Again, no, it doesn't seem like it as no one was banned. And given that I actually know how alt modes work in this game, I know that the pictures mean jack shyte. Thing two about it, how many active people were there even? It's hard to actually hunt an alt if there's no one on. Granted, with the current activity, it'd be pretty easy, but the last I played before recently, there was like, Burn as the only active con. Basically, who cares? Besides you. It didn't hurt anyone, and it made people happy and interested in playing again. Why is that a problem? I honestly would have done the same. I've seen some **** things and blatant cheating in the game, like mods giving themselves XP and cheating tournament results and mission hazards that only target one faction. Honestly, this alt mode exploit wouldn't even rank in the top 20 worst things to happen to HMW. I don't honestly care.

Here's a question, if people don't have access to Iacon, and don't know things are planned in it, how are they going to know to ask for access to it? Now, I'm not saying everything needs to be discussed in public. But putting up a main forum post about 'Hey, we're doing this. Check out the thread in Iacon" and then bumping it to keep it a top post is all you need to do. And as for discussing it with other people to make sure no toes are stepped on isn't hard either. Look at the hunts that were just run. Both factions kept their target list hidden, but both also knew the others were doing something. It's a game about giant robots with worse dice rolls than my typical DnD session. The main thing about the game is the forum and the comradery and banter back and forth across factions. It's what makes HMW tick. It's why the game suffers when there isn't enough activity in the forums.

Now, this is something that always iritates me. Why is Hallowjack sitting on so much XP? Are you afraid of giving XP to the Cons? To your fellow bots? There are a lot of healers in the game that could use higher level bots to heal and get more xp, and it's literally doing nothing for you to sit on it. Wingz and Steve and others could benefit from a higher level Hallowjack in missions giving their healers more XP so they can level up faster and become stronger. You want stronger allies? It starts with you. Even if you generate more XP for the cons, they will level up too, and intern generate more XP for your fellow bots, as well as for you. It''s just selfish.

Anyway, that's all I'm saying on these topics. We derailed Sumo's thread enough, and I missed a response from someone else. Given my history of derailing threads, this is saying something. Anyway, sorry for derailing this Sumo. I promise my next post will be constructive to the topic at hand. Sometimes it's like the Death Star run, just gotta stay on target and ignore Vader on your six.[/quote]
