You cannot reincarnate while still alive!


The Divine voice of Tecton echoes in your head, "Were you planning on reporting your blatant bug abuse? or just continuing to abuse it?"


You tell Tecton, the Terraformer, "Well. I'm 100% busted. I learned to love it. What now."


You tell Tecton, the Terraformer, "For what it's worth, I love this game. If I could ask you to not take it away forever."

Central Hall in the Great Oak.
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. A statue of Covenant Stormcrow, first Speaker of Eleusis, stands here as a monument of the village's history. A cute little humgii is sitting here placidly, attached to a leash. A heavy tome hovers in the air before you amid a hazy green glow. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground. A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground. Mallet hoisted over her shoulder, a dwarven earthshaker stands here. A ladder of long, soft leaves comprises a wispy Weaver's Fern along the ground. There are 2 large, hairy tarantulas here. A disembodied eyeball floats lazily in the air. A grotesque jack-o-lantern sits here, grinning gruesomely. A large pumpkin rests on the ground here. A corpse swings here, hanging by a noose fastened around its neck. A common red admiral butterfly flits about over your head. Polgara Windsong, Xorani Beast is here. Terror on Wings, Tow Windsong, Vampiric Butterfly is here. He wields a butterfly net in each hand.

Respendent in golden sap and staghorn, the trophy of the Great Eleusian Hunt stands here atop a stone pillar. A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground. A soft golden mountain lion fur blanket lies here. A disembodied eyeball floats lazily in the air. A grotesque jack-o-lantern sits here, grinning gruesomely. A fist-sized hairy tarantula dangles in the air from a bit of web. A large pumpkin rests on the ground here. A corpse swings here, hanging by a noose fastened around its neck.

The Divine voice of Tecton echoes in your head, "Considering you've done this hundreds of times over the past 6 RL months."

You tell Tecton, the Terraformer, "Yeah, you're right. And you know I know."

The Divine voice of Tecton echoes in your head, "Rules are rules, so you're going to have to face the consequences of your actions."

Your limbs freeze and your body sprouts leaves as you turn into a small, but lovely, shrubbery.

Being a small shrubbery, you are able to do naught but perhaps rustle a bit.

What I learned: don't abuse bugs. If you do, do it for a week, max.
Nitro
Perhaps I just didn't read it careful enough, but what was the bug? unsure.gif
Aliath
Guessing it is a free reincarnation of some sorts? At least when looking at the start of this and combining it with the post Tali made in Quotes

At the very least, it wasn't permanent. Only six months. Could have been worse.
</optimist>

That sucks, man. But, as Tecton said, rules are rules.
Drauka
You got off easy. Cheating the game is one of the worst things one could do, yet doing it over and over again for 6 months? If only they could demand you pay credits for each free reincarnation before coming back too.

You're lucky.

This.

Now what was the bug? Reincarnation while living or something?
Mishgul
The bug was an infinite amount of reincarnations that a few limited people had access too.

A hunter's hut. (Ulangi Isles)
Before you stands a large shrine, depicting a pack of wolves howling in triumph after their recent hunt. Sharp eyes alert, a grook hunter paces about impatiently. Wriggling about here in a pool of slime is a Horkval larva. You see a sign indicating there are WARES for sale here.
You see a single exit leading west.

You rip into a grook hunter with your massive, deadly claws.
You have scored a CRITICAL hit!

The final blow proves too much for a grook hunter, who expires pitifully.

You have slain a grook hunter, retrieving the corpse.

Ha! Are you guys kidding? I didn't expect to survive this one. Who would?

I -ed up pretty bad, and it's not like me to abuse or take advantage of -anything-, but man. Once I got a taste.. it was like crack. My favorite game had just gotten cooler!

As added punishment he left me in Troll. As a Sentinel. sad.gif
Korben
Sorry to hear it, see you back in 6 months.

Crack is bad for you. tongue.gif
Sabiru
If only it had been this guy ^^^, and if only he reincarnated his forum account one too many times and..

Go away please.
Korben
Please do not reply to my posts.

Man, sorry to hear! You got busted hard. Whoooops.

Sorry if I was rude earlier. I'm just so so bummed out I'm stuck in a replacement Psychology lecture for three hours on a Saturday afternoon because we had a Thanksgiving holiday on Monday.

Sorry Entaro!

Also sucks man sad.gif but yeah you knew what you were doing.

Ugh. Hasta luego.

Man, Spire. Now you're going to be like Dannyl and Murg and clutter up my contract list for months without dropping it below 75 days. This makes me quite sad.

Have fun with whatever you're doing in the meantime.

How'd you grow so scary so fast? sad.gif

I remember Absolving you four times in a row about two months ago.
Peirce
I guess you are lucky you didn't get permashrubbed for it. I remember requesting a letter from the post office not too long ago and finding that it had 500 gold that could be taken from it repeatedly (letter of infinite gold). It didn't even come across my mind to abuse it.. closedeyes.gif
Boz
I wonder how many people just went to request a letter from the post office...And before, how many tried to reincarnate.
Darroth
There's a difference between free reincarnation and infinite gold. Spire did not deserve perma shrub imo.

For 6 months of knowingly abusing a bug, I think he did deserve perma. I am glad he didn't get permashrubbed but I wouldn't have been surprised if he did.

That's what you get for killing Rakon for absolutely no reason what so ever, with no warning, and no cause. closedeyes.gif

Next time don't - with Rakon, and you won't get Tectowned.
Mulkerrin
To be honest, it could have been a much tougher punishment. From all I've heard about what enabled this, it represents an even more severe breach of ethics (for lack of a better word) by him than typical bug abuse. I certainly don't wish him ill in any personal sense. But in the general sense people who knowingly abuse bugs and exploit them to the disadvantage of others represent every negative aspect of playing Achaea.
Rangor Corten
bye Spire.
