Welcome to the new COTI server. We've moved the Citizens to a new server. Please let us know in the COTI Website issue forum if you find any problems.
We, the systems administration staff, apologize for this unexpected outage of the boards. We have resolved the root cause of the problem and there should be no further disruptions.
As a gamer and a self-professed geek, I've come across some pretty odd, screwed-up people. There's something about the subculture that attracts socially maladapted individuals, people with psychological disorders and outcasts. I have learned over the years to slowly back away, keep kind yet keep my distance. But those folks sound like they take it to a whole new level.
Wow Blue, that's quite a story! I've met with some odd sorts in my time but I can't say any have been so far off kilter. Unfortunately, eventually someone will associate the actions of these social deviants with the whole gaming community.
I know it's tough to say good bye to a gaming group, good ones are hard to find, but I wouldn't hesitate if the comfort level wasn't there.
I truly and honestly appreciate the responses you've given. I had visions of my account being banned, and otherwise run-off or shunned on one of my all time favorite Bulletin Boards.
I'm far gone and away from that group. One guy worked for his family business, another was a laywer, another was a post-doc astronomer and so forth. We had some pretty professional people there, but there were a couple who gave me the creeps, and I'm glad to have gotten out of there.
I was told that after the trial thing broke that one of the guys had been kicked out. So I went back thinking everything was okay. Then another deadly and bizarre thing happened with of that guy's friends, and I jumped like a rat running from a sinking ship. I guess that's enough said. Thanks for the replies.
