UGH! I can tell you guys one thing…...
Londo's boss(es) will be PISSED at this....
Might as well be prepared to say bye bye to Sentience for a while.
-_-

I managed to get back in, once… Everyone had been converted to elves... And the remorts were flying, literally. I'll show you the last who list I got before it seemed to crash or shutdown:
.,-~^~-,._.,[ Players in Sentience ]-.._.,-~^~-,.
[1 :1 ][M][ Seraph Illusionst Tower ] Bashae [PK]
[1 :1 ][M][ Seraph Illusionst Tower ] Dirge
[151:151][F][ Seraph Goddess ] Serenity
[1 :1 ][M][ Seraph Ninja Tower ] Armand
[1 :1 ][F][ Seraph Ninja Tower ] Gaea
[21 :21 ][F][ Elf Marauder ] Lydian
[1 :1 ][M][ Seraph Ninja Tower ] Kellendros
[1 :1 ][F][ Seraph Illusionst Tower ] Pyretta
[154:154][M][ Mino CreatoR ] Ertai
[12 :72 ][F][ Elf Arch-Mage ] Lunani [KNIGHTOTRI] [H] [PK]
[30 :120][M][ Elf Geomancer ] Soth [KNIGHTOTRI]
[30 :120][M][ Elf Assassin ] Inimical
I even got remorted… *sigh* Not how I wanted to do that, but it happened anyway... I have logs, if anyone wants to see 'em, send me a private message or something...
-
I logged what I could. As it is all Syn will need to do is use the orginal backup and we're all back at when the game got back up. If these guys can be traced they will find life interesting. I have a log that could make them see jail time if someone I know wants to press charges. They taked too much for sure.
So worse comes to worse your all reset to what you were 7months ago. I'm sure Syn will try to credit those of us who lost stuff in the mean time. Right now just don't log on until Syn says the game is back up and fixed.
And for god's sake change your passwords!

~~@Kellendros:~~
> I'm not sure if anyone cares, but we have a Sentience IRC channel (hasn't been accessed by anyone other than myself and Londo) over on irc.edgeirc.net , port 6667\. If anyone wants to communicate live, come on over, I guess. The channel is: #Sentience . To all who are interested, I'll see you there.
I don't have irc anymore just AIM and MSN
-
Arrgh. I've got logs, but I'm a flaming newb. I didn't realize that something seriously weird was going on until I got killed, so I seriously doubt that would be of any help. :x
-
We can't exactly change our passwords until the game comes back up.
-
How uh, how can i get mIRC? Just recently got dsl, and hadnt thought of it.
-
Keep the logs if Syn needs them he will ask for copies. As it is if you have any logs with references to my old shop being robbed please keep them. Yes it was robbed 2 times but not when they said it was. The shop has been gone since 2000\. But if we can trace them to having been in Omaha then I will press charges. I don't like this crap and it stops here.
-
Let me asure you I have confirmed that there are backups from the 19th of this month and i made copies of them, untill Syn can confirm that everything is fixed.
The system itsself is untouched, just the mud. and the mud's shell account looks fine, only activity on it was from SYN
-
ok.
*grabs a big fucking soap box*
what can we do to this little fuck? i'm talking i wanna see jail time, asskicking, let him get raped in a prison cell. this shit about us getting hacked has got to give at some point. there has to be a legality about all this.
i'm open for ideas, other than bashing his skull in…bc thats after we get him the proper way ;)

Thank you! Your wonderful Londo!
If you guys want I will play library keeper and gladly burn copies ever often of the game and other programs we want to save. I can keep them safe. In the mean time let's get ahold of Ertai and Syn and get this all fixed.
NOTe: Something that has just been told to me. Since the Server is on a public University it's possible that the people hacking could face federal charges and in these times of great unrest it could mean they will have a friend named Bubba.
-
As it stands I just locked down the machine, nobody is getting in untill monday at 9amCST when I login locale
So Immortals email me
-
Londo save what you can of the damage they did before reinstalling a fresh copy of the game. I think we might have someone who could trace. But best to keep a copy in an case as proof to use later…..Grin

You can download IRC from http://www.mirc.com/
We've got a few people in the Sent channel. If you aren't familiar with IRC commands, I'll try to give you a quick rundown:
After opening mIRC, click on the options button in the upper left corner, if it does not open automatically.
You'll need to click the "Add" button over to the right. Name it whatever you want, but the server's name is EdgeIRC. The address is irc.edgeirc.net . The port is 6667.
Give yourself a name toward the bottom of the window.
Click "Connect."
When your client is connected, type "/join #Sentience"
Anyone in the channel can give you further help as you need it.

Heh, i dont touch shit, the only thing i do is restart the mud from time to time when the script fucks up :P
I leave all that to Syn

Ok, sounds good. We will wait upon Syn to do what he can.
-
*mutters things both dark and terrible about whoever did this* I hope we can figure out a way to press some sort of charges against this fucker, and take his/her ass down. I'm so tired of this kind of bullshit… And by the way, who or what the fuck is KNIGHTOTRI?
-
Ok, I was sitebanned pretty quickly, so I don't have much (he had control of ertai for most of the time), but thanks to the help of some people including someone from MM I have figured out a few things.
I know the person is not from Omaha, Jazelle. I do know the general location of the person, but I'm not going to give that out here.
I also know that while MM will be considerate to us, they cannot give out any information or dole out any punishment on MM itself according to policy. However, Vassago (out of courtesy) has been warned of the person and their capabilities.
If people would like to take legal action, I'm sure that the owners of the game would need to be involved, so until I hear from Syn lets keep our lawyers off the phone.
Syn has backup copies of the game and so no problems should arrise in restoring the game, however, any work I or other immortals have done in the last few days will be lost.
Londo, if I can get you the IP is there any chance your server can firewall that address? Also, I don't know how to e-mail you offhand (I will check your profile after this post) but n2brown@unix.cc.wmich.edu is my e-mail for future reference.
Sorry to everyone about this inconvenience and I hope, Londo, that you don't suffer any reprocussions either with your school or work because of what went on tonight.
Thanks for everyone's patience and help. This game has proved its worth time and again. Lets keep rolling with the punches (mmm, cliche city)
eRTAI!~!
p.s. Anyone punished by immortals during this period will be restored and I apologize for what happened.
p.p.s. Knightotri is not responsible for this to my knowledge, so anyone who knows this person do NOT hold it against him or harrass him. We don't need to lower ourselves to their level
-
It's the info they gave out that was rather telling there. As it is it's Londo's school that can go after them legally and that is backed by the feds there.
As for Knightotri when I knew him he would not of done such a thing. I'm guessing he was hacked just the same. If the guys on MM know who it is then legally they need to tell those who wish to press charges. I'm guessing that again would be Lando's school.
I hate to say this but something needs to be done so this can't happen again. There needs to be some kind of security system set up so it will be easy to trace problems.
I guess for many of us it's just the last straw and we're tried of having to sit by and watch crap happen. I may no like some of the players but I will support them to have access to the game and enjoy it.
Personally I think Syn and Londo and whoever else should go after their asses and stop this bull.
Ertai I never thought it was you doing it all. I know you to be a good person who is just plain fun. I feel you got the worse of this all since it was your account they used.
As I understand there is a back up from the 19th that is only a few days off so not too much lost there. Thanks for being so quick to reply and post. I will gladly do what ever I can to help you out and keep the game up and going. Feel free to ask you too Syn.
-
The people from MM know nothing besides the character name (aside from what I know), so there would be no reason to get them involved. It was more of a friendly warning that I talked to them to begin with.
