Is Cybernations still the big thing/still going on? I remember JasonRivera.com having almost it's own alliance, of course with people factioning off after Lorigate I figured it may have disbanded.

JRCA merged with another alliance and eventually became one of the most influential alliances in the game under R's leadership (\m/). Then R got banned and we got fucked over and fucked up in what was the largest war in the game's history at that point. There is a new alliance with the same name, but I don't think any JR.com people are left in it.

The game stagnated and got a bit shit. I tried rejoining a few times but never really got into it.

No JR people are involved in the new incarnation...I still go into the IRC channel every few days to see what's happening. I still can't play officially, but I did play under the radar. I was \m/'s minister of \m/land security, which was basically a shadow government.

One of the former \m/ guys established Ragnarok, which is now a top alliance. He asked me to head it up for him when he started, but I declined since I was still pretty pissed at the justification for banning me from the game.

Cybernations seems like a hard game to get banned from for any sort of exploits. If there's a ban I would sense foul play afoot from the administrators.

[Dee Rokus]

That's pretty much exactly right. Aside from the many problems, which R can explain, they would ban you from the game for things done on the forum, which always seemed a bit unfair to me. Having a forum account wasn't compulsory, but if you did have one and got it banned you would lose your ingame account.

Basically it all went wrong for the forum alliance when the people in my nation voted to declare war on Anri's nation. I destroyed everything in my way and everyone got butthurt.

Depends. 100% warn on the forums = banned in game. That's how they got me -- arbitrary forum rules. They started taking out \m/ leadership for any reason at all after we received our sanction as an official CN alliance. Moderators whose alliances were preparing for war against us found reasons to start banning us for devastating forum actions such as discussing things "out of character."

wow. doesn't it amount to a scam when you're kicking paying members out? i put like 100 bucks into that game and i played like half a year.

[Dee Rokus]

They put it in the terms and conditions that it's a 'donation', not payment for any services, so if you get banned then you can STFU.

I wonder how that would stand up in a court case, mind you.

The mods on there are very unaccountable.

After I started receiving death threats to Ninja A and it took the mod staff upwards of three days to begin addressing the issue despite me hammering away at them, I stopped "donating." I really wasn't much of a paying customer anymore, and I made it damn well known that I didn't think anyone else should donate, either.

At a certain level, donations are bad, anyway. It's turned into getting people to donate for you because you don't really get much out of it to benefit. Feeding little nations $3 million in return for a donation is way more profitable.

I'm not amazed that the game is still running (a few guys and I figured up how much the game owner made in a year -- around $100K a year if only a small percentage of people donate), but I AM amazed he hasn't been investigated by the IRS. Donations aren't tax free, no matter what you call them.

Am I the only one who sees the parallels with what Bootleggers has become? Pretty horrible, really.
