Going on Strike. - Drew Coleman - 06-04-2012
Hello all,
This message is for everybody on Kiwike. The mods, the players, everybody.
Everybody knows now that we are experiencing a large problem on the server. I have discussed these issues with several other players and they seem to agree with me. Most of these issues happen to involve the nation of Solitude.
1) RP should be a way to experience the game, not a way to excuse your actions.
(However Solitude feels otherwise and should be discouraged)
2) Rapid Changes
Today, I was killed and raided by Asdf, Seth, and Sammie. I had thought that Solitude was banned from raiding, but apparently, a forum post by a mod made this false. Had I known, I would have taken more precautions to protect my valuables.
3) Raiding
As we all know, Solitude usually raids on a day-to-day basis. When you propose peace, they offer a price that is entirely impossible to pay. They also make frequent stops at towns and cities to collect "Taxes." If you cannot pay these (Completely BS) "Taxes," then they will kill and raid you. They had recently come up with the "Tribute for the Good Act" (There was no indication that they had thought of this beforehand) which states that when one has entered Solitude, they must individually pay a tax towards the city. If you do not pay, you die. It is clearly just a crutch for them to justify their idea to go to war with everybody.
4) Bans
Anyone can go and look at Kiwike's live ban list and clearly see that Nlewis and Pwolbart have many bans and warnings between the both of them. Nlewis currently has 8 bans and 4 warnings, and Pwolbart currently has 4 bans. To prove that they take part in illegal activities, lets take a look at the bans. They both have bans for Non-Rp killings and raiding without permission. These are activities that they frequently commit.
I personally feel that they are ruining this server. When I joined, I thought that it was fantastic. But now, I am left with no resources, lots of enemies, and nation members that never log on. The only reason that I play video games, is to escape the reality where I am constantly bullied, and threatened by my peers and even sometimes, my loved ones. They are ruining my RP experience.
Here comes the action part. I would like anyone who agrees with these ideas or has been negatively affected by Solitude, participate in a week-long boycott of Kiwike. When we are united to help a cause that we believe in, we have more power that you think. I hope that some of the players will participate with me in this boycott, and remember, together, we can send a strong message that can change our server for the better.
We will be going on strike from Monday, June Fourth, to Saturday, June Ninth.

To be honest there seems to be no effort being made by anyone who can make changes so yeah I'm not even bothered anymore.

Cell, thank you. I hope you're going on strike as well?

He's part of Solitude, who the ban is on, so yes, it affects him. Using him to work around it is bullshit
RE: Going on Strike. - bowser956 - 06-04-2012
Meh, I've not got much to do while being raided, so I'll participate.

Just to clear a few things up here:
We came to kill you after learning that you had roughly a halfstack of diamonds. We got them, and then after which you proceeded to rant and rage, in local chat as well, that we were "gay", communistic, and nazi's. I could go further but I really do not think it is needed and will only cause unnecessary flame and anxiety on both sides. There have been too many damn threads today to keep up with. Maybe you should finish what you started in the first thread and then if you so please, make another.

Communistic Nazis is a contradiction.
