I suspect the game they're trying to name their borg persona after is older than they are.
What other niche old indie games from eras past have people enjoyed?
[Edit] See also: The younger, hotter cousin of the above game which is superior in every way.

I think you need to get off the internet, read the dictionary, then point out where I said they were being aggressive. Uncooperative does not mean aggressive. I did my part in trying to meet them half way, and I even offered solutions. They hit me with "ÄĂĄÆ4" in return.

Re: AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Naming Policy
We require players to be 18 years of age or older to play on TG, I go into every ticket talking to people like they are at least 18 years of age. If they are responding to me in a way where I get the impression they're just shit posting I'm going to treat them like they are. If they didn't understand what I was talking about they should have said so and I would have taken the time to explain in depth, instead they ignored me and kept giving me shit posting answers.
We're ADULTS, if he didn't understand what I was talking about why isn't he trying to communicate that with me? He isn't communicating such even in the appeal.
You know why it's a perma appearance ban? Because I don't trust people who give me shit posting responses in an ahelp ticket to behave when I'm not looking. You know this shit just as well as I do, Ducks.
When they figure it out I will happily lift the appearance ban, other than the hour temp ban I have made no moves to prevent them from playing on the server. It's """permanent""" in the sense they need to show me they understand what is and isn't an acceptable name.

Re: AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Naming Policy
Alright, niche old indie games from eras past?
Sunless Sea is 8 years old in under two weeks, and is generally considered Fairly Niche. I am PERSONALLY going to count Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad. Because before Rising Storm 2, it was a very obscure series being a (moderately) hyper-realistic WW2 shooter and I can count the number of people I've met outside of it who have ever played it on a single hand.
But if we wanna talk niche in terms of "Unique" rather than "Not Very Well Known", Audiosurf's a good one. Dungeonland was also pretty cool. It was a like, 1v4 multiplayer game where the solo player is the "Dungeonmaster" of Dungeonland, and it's their job to place traps and monsters throughout a level, while the four players are the adventurers trying to progress. It was a pretty unique concept imo, at least back in the day, and it was actually pretty fun.
Sanctum was pretty neat, too. It was like, an FPS Tower Defense game.

Audiosurf was my jam, mixed with Beat Hazard and Melody's Escape as time went on.

Dungeonland I played on release with friends, but it didn't hold our attention long. I remember it going F2P not long after release, but I can't find it on the Steam store anymore so I guess the game's RIP and the Steam discussion for it has the online servers dead April 18th last year so only LAN/Hamachi/etc.
Sanctum is still a really solid game in its own right. Enjoyed it with friends.

Looks to me like they are trying to find the exact line between allowed and not allowed so they can come as close to breaking the rule as possible with no good faith intention to create a meaningful character. It's the classic attention seeking behavior of a child pushing their boundaries to the limit before they get punished so you are forced to notice them.

Yeah, Audiosurf's got a sequel, but I never played it. I haven't in a couple years, but I used to boot it up often as a good just Chill Vibes game. I might have to get back into that, honestly.Timberpoes wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 3:32 pm

Yeah, Dungeonland ended up dying out. What's interesting is that a lot of games that disappeared from Steam used to at least still have Store Pages, but just not be purchasable anymore (like Max Payne 1 and 2), but Dungeonland's is straight up gone. Which is fuckin' interesting.
I should really go back to Sanctum sometime soon. See if I can gather the gang together again and relive the old days. I DID play Sanctum 2, but my Steam Hours say I didn't have as much in it as the first game, so I think I liked 1 more, probably? Reviews seem to agree with that consensus, too.
Honestly, though, back then I spent most of my time on Left 4 Dead 1/2, not a "niche indie game" but put a thousand hours into both combined (which was a lot back then lmao), and played through a lot of Expert Realism in the latter, so it didn't really leave a lot of time for other games. Y'got any recommendations that still hold up today I could go back and look at? Is AAAaAaAAAaA worth it?

Yes it is. When you are completely uncooperative what am I supposed to do? Just hope a day appearance ban will magically make the person in question realize they probably shouldn't name their character "AAAAAAAA"? It wouldn't have escalated into a perma at all if they just....did what I asked. The Perma will be in place until they can show me they understand naming policy.

it’s hard to say that this person wasn’t being genuine if they tried to use that name and then they then replied to let you know that they couldn’t even use it. if they were being a little troll they wouldn’t have tried to use the name in the first place.
and, yes, applying a permanent appearance ban and then telling them to kick rocks after they appeal in confusion over a name that’s sort-of-bad is iron fisted. this person has like no time under their belt why the fuck are you bullying them so hard
also if you’re going to call me a Media News Outlet then don’t paraphrase and add nice words to make yourself look better

With how poorly this peanut is going I feel the need to post this here.Misdoubtful wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 1:37 pm Yeah I mean, it's to be expected that people will want to argue their side of things, especially when feeling disrespected, and even more so when the efforts to come to a whole understanding for all parties is not made.
I'm not pointing at any appeals or tickets from whenever when I say that, I'm just saying it in general.
It's clear the dude appealing wasn't understanding things in the ticket and was repeatedly told no but not WHY.
If someone doesn't have the full picture and a newfound understanding of the rules doesn't happen I fully expect situations like this to occur.
Plenty of people are always going to be difficult and everyone is going to have to learn to accept that or have a miserable life when it comes to interacting with others. People are going to ask why, especially when they don't understand. Coming to an understanding with difficult people though? That makes life easier.
The way this ticket was handled was a failing to do so (and I'm not saying that was intentional) and resulted in a potentially completely unnecessary appeal and potentially unnecessary ban and I'm going to assert very loudly that not having to deal with the appeal can make life easy.
How can a person expected to give the 'impression they learned anything from the situation' when not taught something?
Please consider Timbers ban appeal post for how one may handle these things in the future but ALSO consider how lengthy that post had to be. It will make things easier for everyone. I say this with the best of intentions, everyone can always do better. Rules explanations in tickets are GREAT!
It can hard to tell sometimes if someone is shit posting or genuinely not getting things, and sometimes it's worth the effort to be certain.
Plus I fully understand that naming policy currently sucks. We'd all be better off focusing on how difficult it currently is to convey naming policy to others. Imagine it being easier to understand and put into tickets. These sorts of appeals could see a fantastic reduction.

name policy is completely subjective to the banning admin so what is the issue with personally asking admins what names are okay? let alone why does that make it bannable?rasonj wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 3:46 pm Looks to me like they are trying to find the exact line between allowed and not allowed so they can come as close to breaking the rule as possible with no good faith intention to create a meaningful character.

I would of gone for just a day ban if they at least tried to understand what I was telling them, but instead they completely deflected everything I told them. In an ahelp no less, if the player is going to be uncooperative in tickets and refuse to listen I have no reason to not go for a permanent appearance ban. They did not convey any confusion, the only thing they did was give nonsensical replies. Like I mentioned before we are an adult community. I gave them fair warning my solution wasn't a pleasant one and they still refused to at least meet me half way. If I cannot trust you to behave when I'm not looking at you I'm going to ensure you do.Thaumic wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 3:54 pmIs this his first offence of this nature? If so then yes, day ban.

Also it's a very fun point to note: The only reason they even bothered to appeal this ban in the first place is because the game kept giving them felinid characters. That doubly shows to me they don't care about the policy, they only care about how it's inconveniencing them.

I think you misunderstood, had the ticket just been a "hey change your name" "oh okay" that would have been the end of it. When I say "I would have gone for a day ban" I meant assuming the ticket was exactly the same, only in the end they didn't give me a shitposty response.

Re: AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Naming Policy
My take is that the ticket wasn’t uncooperative; it would be best to explain what exactly qualifies as a cyborg/android name before banning them from appearance and allow them to understand that.
They clearly didn’t understand what qualifies as a name. I do understand how the ticket can come off as uncooperative, but, more explaining could have been done.
Though I agree that the name AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA isn’t a good cyborg name and never will be

Re: AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Naming Policy
If someone says "yeah I'm not going to follow this rule" the response is to place the least-restrictive appropriate perma until they come to the forums and agree to follow the rules.
You see it happen with appearance bans and Rule 11 stuff.
It's not a perma as in "you will never have this removed", that's a black list. All you have to say is "Oh yeah, I'll follow that rule now, sorry about earlier."

this is the most disappointing thing i have read all year thus far: nowhere did the player state they wouldn’t follow the rules, they were simply asking what names were okayRaveRadbury wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 4:48 pmIf someone says "yeah I'm not going to follow this rule" the response is to place the least-restrictive appropriate perma until they come to the forums and agree to follow the rules.

Even though the ban was just to get them to come to the forums it still feels kinda mean.

I agree that the appealer clearly wasn’t really listening/understanding of the naming policy, and could come off as a shitter, but it’s also good to have a slim of benefit of the doubt when dealing with people who don’t understand the rules.

Any ideas on how going over naming policy in tickets could be easier?Epicgamer545 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 4:47 pm My take is that the ticket wasn’t uncooperative; it would be best to explain what exactly qualifies as a cyborg/android name before banning them from appearance and allow them to understand that.

I'd hope people don't have to take a post the size of Timbers in the appeal and try to break that down into something digestible in a ticket. Sounds like suffering.

I'm not convinced he was being uncooperative, I think his idea of what a good name is kinda sucks.

Re: AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Naming Policy
Names can’t just be letters. There’s no context to a cyborg if their name is just a few letters, or a few exotic ones at that. I’d suggest the player should have taken some contexts and slapped it onto the name of his to contribute to their cyborg nature (like, AA battery, Unit AAA, Cyborg AAA) would work way better than AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.Misdoubtful wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 4:56 pmAny ideas on how going over naming policy in tickets could be easier?Epicgamer545 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 4:47 pm My take is that the ticket wasn’t uncooperative; it would be best to explain what exactly qualifies as a cyborg/android name before banning them from appearance and allow them to understand that.

If I were in this situation, it would probably end up like this.
“Hey, your name may be unique, but it has no context with what a cyborg is. I suggest instead of going for a name with one letter, I’d suggest adding some context to that name; even adding cyborg worthy (unit, cyborg, battery, or perhaps something unique) before it and shortening the name a bit would do it. However just having a cyborg name like AAAAAAAAAA isn’t that unique as a cyborg name and won’t cut it.”

Don’t get me wrong, appealer has a skill issue but it’s more like a “learning” issue than a skill one.

actually seriouspost because I feel bad for this guy
wow yes this is a prime example of how to interact and talk to other humans from a position of power when they don't understand what you're talking about. good god dude you15:41:41: Reply from-thedragmeme: Im telling you that a single letter full caps with nothing else isnt gonna cut it. You can do AAA but keep it short and combine it with something
15:42:02: Reply from-dashatar: With other letter?
15:43:10: Reply from-dashatar: I'll do it AAAA4
15:44:00: Reply from-thedragmeme: No. If this is going to be a problem I can fix it my way if youd like.

I’m at work so I gotta make this quickDrag wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 4:34 pmI think you misunderstood, had the ticket just been a "hey change your name" "oh okay" that would have been the end of it. When I say "I would have gone for a day ban" I meant assuming the ticket was exactly the same, only in the end they didn't give me a shitposty response.
First of all sorry about that, I got kinda angry because to me it looked like you just ignored everything I said and instead made a reply that was just a continuation of your last one.
Second is that I’m not trying to be your enemy, I just legitimately don’t like this ruling.
Third is that I agree if someone is being evasive and difficult then admins don’t have to keep indulging him. HOWEVER take a moment to consider that this rule is a bit special in that it’s subjective and up to whatever admin happens to come across your masterpiece of a name. Because of that it is entirely reasonable to probe the admin that contacted you what variation of your name would be fine. Since the nature of this rule is so finicky I believe you should exercise much greater patience and tolerance when invoking it
