- Charlie ArnoldIf you see an entry on the sheet, you can modify AO and notes
- Charlie Arnoldjust don't add or delete rows, or filter or sort the data
- CQ ππ SarahYes but they probably have to use their in-game username and the bot probably needs that name to match real life... Maybe? I could be assuming too much.
- Mantispidae - west tnDo we expect congruence between this list and the omnivore list or will there be omnivore members that are not bot members?
- Aneristic (PHL)I'll type up omnivore in another tab?
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)duplicates deleted
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)this data has been curated
- Aneristic (PHL)ππ
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)Yeah, Omnivore is a different data set
- ollie (@ollietronic)Sorry just 13MR
- Mantispidae - west tnNP. There is one name I saw in omnivore that I don't see in bot and I know he is a big player close enough to where I am
- Aneristic (PHL)yeah if we get it in the sheet we can check them against each other easily
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)shit
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)my res is in it
- Cate [Intoku, WA, πΊπΈ]It seems so. Lots of awkward i's instead of l's among my local smurfs, reflecting actual igns
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)my good res and my bad res
- Cate [Intoku, WA, πΊπΈ]Sorry, Erich
- Aneristic (PHL)Mine too.
- Pongolyn | Seattle, WAShe was POC for a DC anomaly before she moved out here
- Aneristic (PHL)I do not want to be involved in the release of this thing, I want to be free to respond without it publicly being my fault.
- Aneristic (PHL)But I'm gonna type up the next tab now. π
- Charlie ArnoldThree Pittsburgh RES.
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)now the both siderism makes even more sense.
- CQ ππ SarahMine three
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)it was self defense
- Cate [Intoku, WA, πΊπΈ]How so?
- Pongolyn | Seattle, WAWhat was?
- CQ ππ SarahCovering for team mates
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)telling me that both sides had basically the same cheating ability.
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)Covering for herself
- CQ ππ SarahOr oneself yeah
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)i dont think she hunts
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)but she is in and knows
- Jemstar (15/~PIT πΊπΈ)rollind20 (421) rings a bell but I don't know why. Local to someone in Aurora maybe?
- CQ ππ SarahYeah, my "good one" is actively looking shit up in some of those screen grabs
- Pongolyn | Seattle, WAHence my previous comment that many of the people involved in this probably don't see themselves as cheaters.
- Cate [Intoku, WA, πΊπΈ]I'm sorry, Erich. Folks will get defensive when this goes down
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)There is another Niantic-adjacent person in Omnivore.
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)Oh, I know.
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)This is going to get serious.
- Pongolyn | Seattle, WALike, this is prooobably considered legit as IITC to them. And that will come up.
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)lol
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)im sure it will
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)fucking zamboorak
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)i didnt spam before so I get one
- Charlie Arnoldwhen it does, the correct response is:
//screenshot "you were in this channel when this person requested this information. What did you think was happening?"
- Cate [Intoku, WA, πΊπΈ]Yeah. The hardest-to-fathom part will be the folks who don't get defensive. Because they believe they did nothing wrong
- Pongolyn | Seattle, WAThe question you need to be able to answer is why this is cheating
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)There is enough Niantic involvement in this to make it worth thinking again about release strategy.
- Charlie Arnoldwe have a shitload of thinking to do.
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)Agreed.
- Pongolyn | Seattle, WAYes.
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)Like, this will be so big that ppl on our team will want to have known when it goes
- Charlie ArnoldThis is a different order of magnitude than Russell.
That was one of the spinoff bots. This is the core.
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)This is not the worst thing ever to hit an online gaming company, cheating wise, but it is up there
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)And I am not saying these people deserve it or it
- ollie (@ollietronic)so Krug AMA, huh?
- matt - deaf1 - maineI refer you to line #545. Vidicon, POC for DC anomlay.
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)But releasing this is going to be about peopleβs jobs.
- Charlie Arnoldlol no.
- Charlie Arnoldmake sure to note that please
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)And leaking it outside this group the same.
- ollie (@ollietronic)Bummer. Maybe that's what it takes to get Niantic to fucking do something.
- matt - deaf1 - maine547 now
- matt - deaf1 - mainedone
- Charlie ArnoldI'm guessing we have a week, tops.
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)Iβm not saying donβt do it. Iβm saying know the consequences.
- ollie (@ollietronic)Fair.
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)I would consider warning those ppl
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)Whose jobs are on the line potentially
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)I would not.
- ollie (@ollietronic)Nah.
- Charlie ArnoldThis is what I was thinking about earlier when I said we should release simultaneously. This is not a one-person-in-the-line-of-fire deal.
- matt - deaf1 - maineIs it ironic that the Nia Dev's name is SlackFarmer?
- matt - deaf1 - maineDoes he farm this shit
- ollie (@ollietronic)Disclose. It's what responsible adults do.
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)When I was at Turbine we had a QA dude grant himself 100K gold during an internal only beta
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)Temporary DB
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)βDo that ever again and we will fire you.β
- ollie (@ollietronic)Appropriate response I'd love to see Niantic adopt
- Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)Yeah.
- Pongolyn | Seattle, WAThey might not be able to withstand the player backlash if they don't.
- Charlie ArnoldThree new documents added with the label 'radar'
- Charlie Arnoldto WB Docs
- Charlie ArnoldI'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.
- ollie (@ollietronic)This game feeds the dopamine loop. I'm not sure the backlash matters
- ollie (@ollietronic)Lol you didn't have to ask
- Jemstar (15/~PIT πΊπΈ)Do we want a #radar tab in the sheet?
- Pongolyn | Seattle, WAPlayerbase is fairly adept at social media
- Pongolyn | Seattle, WAQED
- Aneristic (PHL)Note: Remember that Krug helped build ENL.io
- matt - deaf1 - maineI worked 11 hours today, and thats on top of 12 yesterday, and am working tomorrow morning. AND IM FULL OF ENERGY
- ollie (@ollietronic)Cool. Are we supposed to have allegiance here?
- ollie (@ollietronic)Because, like, I don't.
- Cate [Intoku, WA, πΊπΈ]Yes. We need to be able to clearly define scraping and explain why it's cheating
- Pongolyn | Seattle, WAAnd does not widely publicize that since his hire
- matt - deaf1 - mainethe res are well aware and will bring it up
- Charlie ArnoldAn AMA on whether scraping is cheating would be nice.
- Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)ok, need clarification on RADAR
