I know shit's horrible right now but we gotta get out what info we can, so I just wanted to ask anyone to let me know if they're able to get in touch with Zelkova at some point.

He's listed as offline.

That never happens.

uhhh
maybe hes doing maintenance
or something???

[curvaceous]

Lol... If that's the answer I'm going to give him an earful

[dissimulative]

i feel like he wont be able to help us like last time anyway
stuff like this would probably be out of his hands too

[curvaceous]

I guess so... If Swallow's situation was any indication of that

Either way, it's still weird he's offline when he's usually always available, even when stuff's not going well. I'm not wrong for thinking that it is, am I?

[dissimulative]

it could be a coincidence
but it can really be anything right now
so we can only speculate until he comes back
and answers us
if he comes back anyway

[curvaceous]

Okay, well, my point still stands: Just let me know if you see him around or something, please? I'm concerned, is all.

[dissimulative]

will do

[ He won't. ]

[curvaceous]

[ Thanks Oria! ]

Thanks. Be careful

If I had to guess, they're waiting to release a press statement and locking things down until then.

[curvaceous]

Entirely possible.

Still don't like how this is going, though.

[ophidie]

The responsible thing to do would be to shut it down for now. I doubt that's what'll happen, though. Right now they're probably doing legal inquiries, making sure they're still covered to keep things running.

[Presumably this is before rope drop on investigation? But even if it isn't, the thought still applies. Everybody did sign a waiver.]

[curvaceous]

I wouldn't be surprised if you were pretty on the nose about this. And now with all of the reports about Mithrun missing IRL, this is looking less and less like just a video game. It's definitely more than that, at this point.

[ophidie]

The attention is why I think we're looking at an inquiry period. Even if people know him in real life, there's a lot that won't be shared publicly for privacy. Like we have a lot of that, when it's so easy to find information these days.

I wonder what would have happened if it was someone who didn't have anyone to look for them outside the game.

How is that even possible? Zelkova made it sound like he doesn't even exist outside the game, so how can he be offline?

[curvaceous]

That's what I don't understand. He's literally always around, but if it's as Scitalis said, he might just be on lockdown rn until they can figure something out.

Idk. I don't trust them that much though lol, not with all the weird stuff that's been happening lately.

[trashtier]

I don't either.

Just like I don't expect them to actually acknowledge any of this. You saw how they reacted to Swallow's situation. They just straight-up covered it all up.

[curvaceous]

Of course. These shitheads don't know what accountability is and are most likely just going to make the admins deal with it.

If this is all some kind of social experiment bs I'm going to lose my mind lol

un: Ganymede

[ganymed]

He was offline yesterday too.

[curvaceous]

Seriously

Thanks for letting me know, I wasn't able to log on. This is creepy as hell

[ganymed]

It is.

I wonder if it's related somehow, to what just happened.

[curvaceous]

That's what's concerning me the most right now. Him missing is one thing, but the timing of it all is very concerning, like they're trying to cut off our access to one of our only ways to learn more about the inner workings of the game or something

[ganymed]

As if they can keep that up forever. Whatever corporate nonsense they're trying is only bound to work temporarily; especially if they want this so-called 'beta' of theirs to succeed.

Zelkova could even be beyond their reach, but of course they would not deign to tell us even that.
