No Man's Drama in /r/nomansskythegame When a Mod Refuses to Release a Cassette Tape

16  2017-06-07 by justcool393

Remember that game that had people sending the director sending death threats? Yeah, well there's more drama.

So apparently the moderators of the NMS subreddits got packages delivered to them with merchandise and audio tapes (I guess in order to hype the game some more). Andy Chalk of PCGamer writes that

Reddit mods have been receiving packages from the studio since late last week containing NMS merchandise of various sorts and a single, numbered audio cassette, each of them carrying a hidden message.

I'm really not sure the point, nor do I really care, but what could go wrong when you give something to moderators of a subreddit? Well, unsurprisingly, things did go wrong.

/u/seanjenkins of that degenerate subreddit found that something did in fact go wrong. After getting into an argument, two moderators decided to not share their tapes.

They eventually did, but not before making /u/seanjenkins made the SRD post. It was linked to from NMSTG as well.

I see you read my hover text, SnapshillBot.

I have talked to the moderators that were holding their tapes, and the moderators of /r/nomansskythegame.

If anyone wants to blame someone blame the mods of /r/nomansskythegame. The moderators that held their tapes planned to release them, it was all a misunderstanding due to the main Moderator of /r/nomansskythegame telling them not to release the tapes the night earlier, and then changing his mind (due to hello games telling them to) if he would have communicated that better to the people holding the tapes (who felt it would be wrong to release the tapes without hello games consent) this would not have been a issue. But instead the moderators of nomansskythegame decided to release the discord chat to demonize the other tape holders (who ran their own separate no mans sky related sub). I would say they did it to make them release the tapes but it looks more like it was about some petty rivalry the mods of nomansskythegame have against the other No Mans Sky themed sub Reddits.

I'm not saying that the people that held their tapes were angels, they also handled it badly. But most of the blame should go to /r/nomansskythegame's mod team.

Tl;DR /r/nomansskythegame took what could have been a fun puzzle and turned it into a chance to bitch about the moderators they don't like.

Wow, that's really interesting. Does that mean you guys had to "terminate" a couple of positions? (That's the 'lingo' you whippersnappers use these days for a pair of concrete boots, right?) I really enjoyed the part of that wall where with the spikes on it. I think it was midway through, sometime after the dragons crossed the ocean but before the place where most of the illegals got stuck on their way over. But like I was saying youve got some problems and those problems require a solution, that solution is deep within your heart. I know it might feel wrong but sometimes you've just got to suck it up.

What are you talking about?

I lost track of what I was replying to midway through my post and decided I wasn't gonna let a little thing like that stop me from spewing my drivel.

Uhh, okay.

Sigh... Not this again. The work okay is not okay. It's ok. Theres a difference. Way back in 2002, when you were just a gleam in your mother's eye people said Okie dokie. These days thats a sign that you've repressed your homosexuality so far that you've wrapped around into being openly gay again but that's not important right now. What is important is reclaiming ok from ay or I fear the worst for our sweet beautiful language. We need more acronyms or our very existence may be in danger of utter annihilation.

/r/drama needs more confusion

Can someone please ban this cunt? He's like a spambot except he can breathe air and shit himself. u/TrailerParkBride

Huh. You still in that whole "trolling" phase or have you moved into relative normality?

u/comedicsans permantely bans me because I made him rage.

Half as long, twice as bright.

He has lost his goddamned mind.

Was it ever there to begin with?

Nope, but he has truly lost the plot. He has added that to every comment he has ever posted.

RIP ur inbox

I think I had to go down 15 pages into his history just to find one comment without a mention of me. What is hilarious is he is accusing me of having rage issues.

>tfw you edit every single comment you've ever posted to ping Sans-senpai, and he still won't notice you.

PROJECTION

Also, jeebus, what is it about you and obsessive lolcows that you have to ban? Did you volunteer to be the fall man on this one, or do you just get off on it?

I wound him up, I guess I had to put him down.

Holy fuck you're not kidding.

There was a time when I could still imagine giving a shit about this.

Me or the other guy?
