Not that having dev support means much anymore. Their hands are washed now: Independent CUO Association

Hmmm…

“We also have intent to pirate from Tex” and the screen print that immediately follows (on this thread: Shoutout to CUOP for becoming the new dirk) is directly from a private server of which you, @Prdgi , are not even a member.

How did you go about getting that? @Rubicate was spying, so I assume that’s how.

But that’s also pretty cheap that you use private messages and make it seem like it was a public conversation or information directed at someone specifically on a public channel. You also followed it up with a post from Tex saying that he wasn’t in possession of any pirated any goods, and you implied that he was lying. Now, I honestly don’t know if he actually eventually pirated any goods. But at the time of that post (which, to my recollection, was about a day after the post from the private channel), he hadn’t actually pirated anything because, as he even said in the post (reminder: from the private channel of which you aren’t a member), no one had fulfilled any contracts.

To be clear, I’m definitely against some of the comments that I’ve seen—well after the fact of them being made, because I’m busy and don’t regularly keep up with this stuff—in public chats or DMs. I’m not sticking up for that stuff and do think that it shouldn’t be tolerated.

But it also seems that you were privy to some private information that very likely colored the way you responded to some things. And the way that you see some responses (some, although not all, of which were not bullying, IMO).

In any case… Personally, I don’t think you’re “the devil” that some think you are. Honestly, so much has been said in so many places that I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you forgot the screenshot I mentioned above was from a private channel. But I also think that you’re not “the angel” that you’re claiming to be… because, somehow, you still had some kind of access to that private channel.

I’ve not attempted to say the contents of that post were directed at someone. The purpose of that snippet is to show that whilst there was attempted piracy, its failure was being passed off as an avoidance of piracy. Furthermore, us bringing up the possibility of piracy was met with scorn and defamation by Houston.

It was thus clear that, whilst engaged in (attempted) piracy, opposing players were content to defame gdp/cuop for “even thinking of piracy”. Tell me, is that a fair thing to do?

Every piece of text that ive quoted showing bullying has been in public viewable places. There is no need to delve into private dms or invite only servers in order to make this case.

The source could have been any number of the individuals within opposing groups that provided information to us.

I don’t see you calling out any of the players who posted the messages I have referred to. There are a few people from opposition groups who will make blanket statements such as “some of those messages have crossed lines”. These statements don’t do anything except provide an attempt to distance the player from others.

Call them out, because the posters see nothing wrong with it. If you don’t, it just shows you are tolerant of that behaviour.

@molp

I was referring to Nicknack yes, as I have seen that discord screenshot from Prdgi back then.

As I said before. It would have been a lot better if this had been an official test, stating that people who would get hit by the cuop, would get reimbursed, and that everyone is invited to take part in the test.
It would have cost a lot less whining / namecalling , and people probably would not have quit the game or coliqued, in my opinion.

And, yet, that’s where that screen print came from: a private server.

This should probably also get locked
