Does he farm this shit

Disclose. It's what responsible adults do.

When I was at Turbine we had a QA dude grant himself 100K gold during an internal only beta

Temporary DB

“Do that ever again and we will fire you.”

Appropriate response I'd love to see Niantic adopt

Yeah.

They might not be able to withstand the player backlash if they don't.

Three new documents added with the label 'radar'

to WB Docs

I'm doing multiple backups of each of these releases on both local media and in the cloud. I'd appreciate it if others were to do the same please.

This game feeds the dopamine loop. I'm not sure the backlash matters

Lol you didn't have to ask

Do we want a #radar tab in the sheet?

Playerbase is fairly adept at social media

QED

Note: Remember that Krug helped build ENL.io

I worked 11 hours today, and thats on top of 12 yesterday, and am working tomorrow morning. AND IM FULL OF ENERGY

Cool. Are we supposed to have allegiance here?

Because, like, I don't.

Yes. We need to be able to clearly define scraping and explain why it's cheating

And does not widely publicize that since his hire

the res are well aware and will bring it up

An AMA on whether scraping is cheating would be nice.

ok, need clarification on RADAR

there is a channel called ALL_VRLA.

Does that do what it appears to do

Ugh

Probably

because thats its own post

fucking shitbags

good lord

Mod scans yay

we have things like this. Cactus, poptart

They do scan for mods. Vidicon has told me my modding counts for the month

whatever shaperbeast uses

Yep they will come up

blue team is just a lot better at distributing them

wtf, i had no idea

im glad i dont

Do ours offer VRLA mod scans though?

I thought it was too resource intensive

ha, did you ask?

no

I dunno. I bailed out of both of those things pretty early on.

just assumed

The existence of cheating tools is not a factional issue

I just realized today that I was still in the poptart slack. thank god it's dormant

we don't use these tools where I play.

"we" is a pretty sketchy term. I've turned down access to both.

agreed, its the use

The extent of use varies by faction by region

I mean we, factionally. Cactus is the latest and greatest offender. It's EU developed. It got put through the wringer recently and is now probably underground. For a while, it was on the way to becoming as normalized and distributed as this RIOT garbo

I have access to both but dont use. I can confirm whether anyone is doing a global VRLA scan.

Ugh, wow, poptart. Quarkgent was all about that

Yea, when I first found out about poptart I was ready to flipout.

Some "helpful" operator from another country introduced some of my locals to Cactus 😒

Sounds like you're an excellent candidate for wb on our side

Get on it.

Poptart does something more than just notify you when fields go up, I take it?

Its scraper based notification

Let's try to stay on target here. The scope of this information is broad and unexpected. We have some refactoring to do on goals.

@Aneristic is ageek a PA or DC agent

Our job here is not to watch the world burn, or get people fired. We know nobody is going to get banned, and we know the malfeasance isn't going to stop.

Shit, man, we just talk to each other in the PNW for the most part.

I don't recognize the name but it's a big state

I'd consider it for those two.

ive seen it all aover

We simply need to reconsider what we want to achieve, based on the information at hand, then come up with a plan for release that dovetails with those goals.


OK?

So what do you perceive as our job?

but they also take pains to make GH difficult or impossible.

I lost focus. East TN Res. Had dealings with me and Iknownothing

Burn everything.

you can use a scraper to painstakingly analyze the mu of fields, you can use it to tell you who threw a link, you can use it to automate responses to other teams actions, or you can use it to guardian hunt. I dont see them all as the same degree of evil because NIA said so

but it's a hard argument to ... let's not have that argument here please.

ok.

My goals are roughly the same as they were initially:


1) Marginalize some RES bad actors
2) Disrupt RES orga on a short term basis
3) Effect a big nudge on culture change

One might have to think about it very carefully in private, if don't want to have it in public.

I'm a big fan of "light everything on fire, let the institution sort it out"

That's cool. You are a great representative for the radical end of the spectrum.

Ultimately, we know we're going to release the data. Once we do, it's a paper airpline. We can throw it however we want, but it's going to slew around some.

We

So what is the issue we're currently trying to solve?

💚💚💚💚💚

You're a wonderful representative of protecting the status quo? Is that how we're doing assigning folks to boxes? ;)

My sense is that the decisions that remain to us involve when and how to release the information.

I'm nobody :)

I think we need more cases of them using it

It feels to me like being on the Omnivore list is more damning than simply being in the #bot slack. Is that way off base?

agreed. omnivore opens the door to any RES using it.

WB is going to keep documenting as new entries pop up. There are about a dozen requests (ballparking, didn't count) in the dataset now, which is only over the last 48 hours. Presumably we'll get roughly that same volume again.

They're both about access. Omnivore might be a higher level of access.

But people can be in a channel without using the thing.

Right.

I represent that position. Not that you should necessarily defend res in my position.

I see the Omnivore thing as much more of a ringleader/candyman thing

I recently visited a known hunter while she was in the hospital and although she never said a name of this thing..... she described a situation where some of here teammates were upset that she had more access than she did. I wonder if this is what she was referring to.... is thatsnomoon on the list??? I’ve requested access but Charlie’s busy and hasn’t granted it yet

After 30 minutes or so of thought: I’d release to Krug, explicitly noting Slackfarmer and scr33n, with a 24 hour timer.

Then I’d release.

I'd burn you for not saying a thing previously
