250: this is the death wankgate has always deserved

no i remember lol. one of the new comm proposals was from an ex-player on rpanons, who seemed sane but obviously decided not to go through with it (and more power to them), and the other was one of gsai's buddies who begged people to stop being mean to his friends and tried to use his access to "the plot document" (???) as a bargaining chip to get people to rally with him.

trust me, the thought of having to deal with people like the latter is enough to convince me that modding a reboot would have been a bad idea.

DA and I remember too. It wasn't "the plot document" it was keeping access to the same comms and everything already there. I think it was supposed to make it easier/more attractive since everyone could keep access to their old threads. The old mod team had offered to pass the game to new mods before the game collapsed so it was going off of that. They asked people not to bring wank into the new game, but I guess that counts as begging people to be nice?

When former JGK players said that it wasn't a great idea or to give it more time, both reboot offers decided not to go through with it and quietly went away, but it's always funny how people bring up those interest checks like they were wanky and not working as intended.

as I recall one of the would-be jgk new mods was friends with the old ones and asked people to not badmouth the previous mods which... I mean, understandable if a person doesn't want to hear people slagging on their friends but their friends did just screw the pooch in a spectacular and stupid way so it seemed pretty silly and unreasonable to tell people who'd been freshly fucked over not to talk about it

I figured that meant don't talk about it in communal game spaces if the game had reopened. I remember there was some kind of IC aftermath post that went around that people were playing on for months and a lot of talk about what happened in public after that in a lot of places and it never caused any issues.

there was also the intention of continuing with anonmods, and since the reboot was being proposed by gsai's buttbuddy no one trusted them to actually keep gsai's mitts out of it.

the circumstances that led to the game going to hell were not going to lead to players trusting a new team of mods coming in. anonmods are fine, but not with a jgk reboot.

yeah lol jgk really killed anonmodding as a concept for awhile
