Lockdown the Game due to weird events

[rklenseth]

985-8: You say: "OOC: Someone is using an html tag that allows them to make it look like we all hit a lion. Please, ignore this. It will be reported in just one moment."

985-7: You see a man in his twenties leaving Olipifirovash Forest, taking Olipifirovash Road to Olipifirovash (west).

985-6: Golda Meir says: "aaaHHHH! I JUST HIT A LION!!!! AM I GOING INSANE!!!??? AHHHHH!!!!*Runs and hides behind a bush quivering in fear*"

985-6: a man in his thirties says: "(OOC: weird shit like this has been happening in Karnon forest, so i'm kinda use to it, for today at least)IC:....umm...nothing..."

985-6: a man in his thirties says: "OOC: the event change in combination with Halloween has some very weird consequences in that people see events that don't happen where people are)"
985-6: a man in his thirties says: "See what?"

985-6: a man in his thirties says: "(OOC: WTF! That so wasn't me. *Is scared* Crikey!!! : -S)"

985-6: a man in his thirties says: "The fuck?!?!....did anyone see that?"

985-6: You hurt a lion using a stick, which loses 6 strength.

Everyone saw themselves hit a lion with a stick. Not everyone has a stick and there isn't a lion in that area. I think someone might have hacked the event page and is using the old html tags to make up events. If anyone sees these events I think they should ignore them and report them immediately to this forum. Hopefully Thomas or Jos can fix it tomorrow and the person doing this is caught and severly punished. I have heard from other players that this isn't the only place that this has occurred in today. If the person is to be caught then the events should be reported. Thank you.

Nevermind about the html tag thingy as I now believe this might be just one of those weird events that have been occuring today. Might I suggest a lockdown of the game until this is fixed. I don't want to see this do anymore damage than it already has done or Thomas or Jos getting overwhelmed with trying to fix this problem with it occurring all the time.

would a lockdown mean that the website would be closed?

if so, will the accounts be frozen?

985-6: a woman in her twenties says: "OOC: I didn't say that!!"

985-6: You see a man in his twenties talking to a man in his twenties.

985-6: a woman in her fourties says: "*looks around* Hey, I didn't say that. What's going on here?"

985-6: You see a man in his fifties entering Siom, coming from Siom Coaster Harbour.

985-6: You see a man in his fifties leaving the central area of Siom, entering Siom Coaster Harbour.

985-6: You see a man in his fifties entering Siom, coming from 4 Siom Circle (Jordan Moris).

985-6: You say: "he arrived just before you did"

No, that means you can't access your characters and time is frozen in Cantr. You can still sign in and access up to the character page (where all your characters are listed) but beyond that will everything into the characters themselves will be locked and frozen.

Heh, I got the same message, and I didn't say it either.

LOL, apparently a lot of other people did, too. There was this period of somewhat amusing freaking out and general confusion; I'd just read the comment about the update when I logged in though, so I figured I knew the reason and it didn't bother me as much.

It was locked. Thomas MAY have fixed it, so he unlocked it. We know there's still a few problems, and the game is likely to be locked for a shoirt while while Jos has a look at it.
