It was, I remember visiting the exalted lounge one time when using the Assassinator account.
When I asked bernard in the staff chat, he told us he didn't feel like the account should be exalted, and that it may get some sort of special rank in the future

Was this meant for a different thread, or am I tripping?
It's a random comment, is it not? My team ceased to exist about 5 minutes after the awards ceremony on Saturday, February 22nd, 2020. http://ehamiddleso.weebly.com/
that's it... you're team's just over now? really sorry about that T2D... :cry: :cry:
Meh... It was my last year, anyway, and I think I was about the only one in Div. C that really cared.

I asked on the IRC one day, and he said something along the lines of he didn't believe that it was a good thing to feature a account that exists solely to kill users. But, he's now saying something about messing with some sort of permissions...

I removed the Assassinator account's Exalted status as it is a game account that does not match our usual criteria for Exalted accounts. I've now created a "Posting Games Account" rank and group that are assigned to the Assassinator account, which restores the account's boldface username.

A private message from the account asked about editing older posts from the account (for example for mid-game rules changes); I don't know of a way to appropriately grant these permissions to only one account. Placing game rules on Assassinator's Userpage, noting rules changes in the account's signature, or messaging the Administrators/Global Moderators groups with updates for the original post are workarounds.

I've also moved all "SciOly Assassination" related posts to a designated forum under Posting Games, Assassinator Games.

I mean, theoretically he can now fold it as many times as he wants, and according to this site, https://www.sciencealert.com/a-piece-of ... e-universe, if he does it 103 times he could bridge the universe....

You know I've always been curious how the game works, since I was confused by it, but it seems interesting.
