apocalypseBakery & Aliases

[stanzicApparati]

Making this into its own thread so we can add more information as we find out about it.

From the original post:
"[Rangoon Warning]
[apocalypseBakery] svpplied the chat with deliberately-poisoned versions of ballisticSpectacle's lifecakes. At least three people consvmed them and two are now confirmed as dead; the poison apparently cavses the body to dissolve if it is tovched after death.

apocalypseBakery was banned by vntimelyCastigated for ten days, bvt then came in, possibly vnder a co-player's name, vsing the tag birthdayCackle. He has professed to wishing to "restore the balance" that ballisticSpectacle allegedly destroyed with his lifecakes and claims that the Horrorterrors will win; he claimed he wanted to see the day that the pond freezes over.

Needless to say, it is best to assvme that apocalypseBakery is corrvpted qvite heavily. Do not consvme anything provided by either apocalypseBakery or birthdayCackle; I wovld svggest testing anything provided by an vnknown prior to consvming it, in light of these recent events."

It's been confirmed that three people died as a result of the "super lifecake" that apocalypseBakery uploaded - two of them permanently.

Making matters worse, a kid named jubilantConspiracy came on earlier tonight to ask for help with an SD situation in his session. Turned out, apocalypseBakery had talked him into Shiny-modding his alchemiter.

Apobak did that weeks ago, according to the logs we were shown. He has clearly been planning this shit for a very long time and he's prepared to wait for his pay-off. He's also shit-hive maggots.

So, if you got advice from him about anything, stop what you're doing and get someone else to double-check that it's kosher. If you got mods or mod-suggestions from him? Rip 'em out now, especially if they're alchemiter-related.

Unfortunately, jubilantConspiracy was the only one remaining in his session by the time he contacted us. He was killed by his SD and he had all the pendants on him. I don't know what happens if an SD gets its hands on a player pendant, but it's probably best to assume a worst-case scenario here. Either those things are now capable of going through the door, or they're going to grab a ship and start Ring-travelling.

I don't know if apoBak is corrupted. Maybe he is. Maybe he's just naturally insane. But his current body count is three people by tainted lifecakes (two of them permanent), one session by SD. God only knows what happened to the people in his session while he was testing those 'cakes.

Edit: Current known aliases for apocalypseBakery: birthdayCackle. If anyone finds out any other names he's hiding under, post 'em here and share it on the IRC.

Sadly, many SD situations end up with the relevant player dead at the hands of their doppelganger. Things are hell tough yo.

My point is just that while it is true that we don't know what happens in that case, we also have no confirmation of SD replayers, or that the ring is populated by sugary assholes (it is, instead, populated by tentacled assholes, and at least one space god asshole, and voidy sleepwalkers in various degrees of assholishness) which seems like something we should have heard about by now, so I am going to pretend I know for sure those things can't actually get to different sessions except for very special cases and go back to hoping I never ever meet one.

Back to the main point, we are planning on trying to get some more control over who can actually edit the Folders, or maybe some sort of cross checking procedure. I was literally counting the days before someone uploaded something laced with, I dunno, laxative or something like that as a prank. We got this instead, and it was even worse. That does not change the fact that the thing is a resource of the community and as such there should be some sort of quality check over it.

Because it might be helpful to dealing with this guy, here's a step-by-step way to test for poisons. It's far from perfect, takes a bit of time and will kill you anyway if the poison is potent enough, but you can pull it off without any additional gear. It's more meant for testing if strange plants are safe to eat, but it should carry over.

• Rub some on your skin. Wait as long as possible to see if it causes any sort of reaction. Ideally rub it on the inside of your wrist or elbow, and give it eight hours, but sometimes this might not be practical. If it's bad for your skin, it's almost certainly bad for you.
  
• Hold it to your lip for about three minutes. You're looking for any sort of tingling or burning sensation. If you do get a reaction, remove it as quickly as possible and clean off the area it has contact with as thoroughly as possible.
  
• Assuming you've had no reaction thus far, the next step is to hold it to your tongue for about fifteen minutes. Same deal as for you lip. If you get reaction, spit it out and wash your mouth out with water - do not swallow.
  
• Next step, chew it and hold it in your mouth for another 15 minutes. Again, spit it out and rinse if there's a reaction and do not swallow.
  
• Now you can swallow. Just a small piece, and give it eight hours to check there' no reaction. If that works out, it's either safe to eat, only poisonous in large quantities or just really slow-acting.

Hopefully no one actually has to use this method. Do not treat it as reliable if you have any other options.

Wait... birthdayCackle? 0_0
He was in my second session... Ummm....
I knew he seemed a little too happy when he killed us so we could GodTier! He seemed like a pretty nice guy... I'm shocked! I told her there was something wrong with him!
