Hydra: forum

Every single racket at the moment brings in either money or items to the faction, which can then be passed onto another faction. Could introducing rackets with perks like we get in job specials be a good thing? If 50%+ of the rackets provided the likes of gym gains, passive stat increases, increased nerve, increased awareness etc. then this would make these rackets only accessible to the faction who holds them and prevent any extortion. This would also make for very interesting wars, imagine the defending side having a stat buff putting them at an advantage against any attacker...

It's a lot more complicated than that. At the time Duke was introduced:

• OG were pinned to zero by PP and I don't believe anything else could've changed this
• GA were targeted by several teams and would've dropped near zero by 17:00 if the target wasn't moved to PP because of the introduction of Duke
• Pacifists were around 2,500 score, give or take, and seemed more likely to drop towards zero than rise. Duke inevitably took them away from danger
• SB were on the rise ever since escaping from Illuminati and we were around 1,000 score, give or take. In my opinion I think we would've kept rising and overtook GA and possibly Pacifists.

I know it's a difficult situation and hard to predict the future. I also agree that introducing Duke had to be made for the integrity of the competition. However, it is absolutely 100% clear that Duke doomed us the second he came in. Even in the worst case scenario for us, in which we'd be brought down to zero - I firmly believe we would've escaped AGAIN like we did the previous two rounds.

I understand this is debatable and hard to rectify. The only reasonable solution to me is to grant an additional token as compensation. But it's more for the sake of acknowledging that Duke screwed Short Bus. Actions have consequences.

Story time:

I've been in UNT over 5.5 years now, leaders have come and gone throughout that time, whether it be Exchange, Gorg, Cheesy, Duck, you, Kings, Zeek and many more. In March 2017 Duck had less time to play the game due to RL commitments and also lost some interest in the game, he sent out a newsie asking if anyone would be interested in taking up a leadership role within the faction. You had helped out the previous 2 months with newsletters and were very active, enthusiastic about the role and seemed to have leadership qualities. I presume you requested this role after that mail. You were then passed the torch (like many before you) and appointed leader, along with Kings and Zeek. l will admit you did a great job for the 2.5 months you were leader. Let me repeat that; TWO AND A HALF MONTHS as leader. At the end of May you started your new job and passed the torch to Kings, whom has done an absolutely incredible job as leader in the past 10 months. Since then, your activity has been very low and nowhere near the suitable time required to be a productive leader.

Now to the quote I have seen a few times: "have my leadership and faction taken from me". The majority of your argument is based on the myth that Kings stole this faction from you. Newsflash: It was never yours, that's an utterly ridiculous claim. The faction is the people within it. Was Kings the owner of UNT? No. Is Zeek the owner now? No. Does Donald Trump own America? No. Being passed on the torch to become a leader does not mean you own anything. You have simply been trusted with the responsibilities and assets within it, in which you have absolutely failed, miserably. You have stolen 40B+ worth of assets from the faction and lost the trust of the vast majority within.

You advised us all via newsletter that you "have nothing but UNT and all of your best interests at heart.". Most contradictory statement I've heard in a long time. Eight days on and you STILL haven't returned OUR belongings, and don't show any intention of doing so either. We're still waiting. This could've been resolved peacefully a while ago and you know it.

You're absolutely in the wrong, get off your high horse and do the right thing. Until then, you have failed us all.

It's happening to us right now and has been an issue the past few days, specifically when chaining load times are extremely long and had a number of 504 errors'. Have caused a few to drop too...
