    Let's learn how bacon is made while we wait for the servers to come back.


    I really dont think people actually want to "see" how beacon its made. Unless you hate animals , of course.

    But it is an interesting process. Don't worry. That video didn't show any slaughtering.

    Since you want something more pleasant, here's a fun Disney video for you. :)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxvlKp-76io

    Its not that. I am vegan, i think you know what that means.

    And honestly knowing how much animal cruelty populates the world it shocks me that someone even posted a video related with bacon. I didnt see the video but i wasnt going to.

    Its a shame and it shocks me when i see someone that (even if it is not a real video or just a parody) post a video about anything related to animal torture. Its really dissapointing.

    And seriously you answered me in a funny way but there is no fun at all in torturing animals. And if you knew how some food is made or how bad are some animals treated in some places , you will understand me.

    Funny... the extension to the summer event is being eaten by another server problem, which was the reason we got the extension in the first place.

    Your server.

    I really dont enjoy animals being treated like that. Even if the purpose is to feed up cryptic's servers. Next time please, avoid posting images with poor animals being abused.
    actually you may find that isn't cruelty, my daughter had 2 female hamsters that used to do that every now and then, over and over and over again.. they'd take it in turns.. 1 would run like crazy, suddenly stop running and spin around inside the wheel, she come zooming out and then the other 1 would jump right in after her and do the exact same thing.. we had to move them out of my daughters bedroom, she used to sneak out of bed to watch them, and we would hear her giggling from downstairs. or maybe it was it chinchillas, memory is baad.. they were fluffy and they weren't rats.. i'll need to ask her next time she's here​​

    The second example video is torture. Plain and simple. The first one is torture also, because you are forcing a poor animal to walk continuosly, not letting him to do it when he wants. And they are confined in cages, any way of confinement is torture for an animal. So, sorry but that is torture. But i understand that people who really dont love animals from his heart will dont understand it. Even putting hamsters in cages is a big torture. I know you dont see it that way, but it is. Just like a Tiger locked in a circus cage. Well thats worst, because tigers are always in cages and they only go out when the circus open. That is almost barbaric, but well. As i said, if you dont truly love animals, you really cant understand what is animal torture or not.

    I'm probably taking the bait, but I'm bored, anyway.

    The first one is a fake, a photoshop of a hamster superposed to a server image.

    It's cool. I get you. I'm not one for seeing animals tortured or mishandled at the hands of people who slaughter them for food. I'm not going to lie: I do eat me. However, I do believe that we need to respect the life we are taking to provide nourishment to ourselves. I believe that you shouldn't waste food--specifically meats--since a life was taken for us to partake it.

    So at this time I feel I should ask, will this overly long maintenance cycle extend the Risa event another day? I feel I am being cheated out of the 1 day extension we were given to make up for the last time this happened.

    I still respect people who eat meet if they are aware of things. The point is, animals should not be tortured when there is no need to. And humans should learn to live knowing how their food is getting to em. Things like animal farms should be banned. I will be rude here -> if you "need" to kill an animal for food, for god sake just shot him to the head. Fast, no pain. Period. Dont bully him forcing him to eat until you consider its fit to be sacrified, dont force ducks to eat foie gras basement (this is terrible seriusly) until they die because they cant breathe anymore or their stomachs literally explode (yes this is how the foie grass is made..). Not to mention the mass kill of little chickens in shredders for almost the same purpose.. But not, humans for reasons i dont understand enjoy torturing animals everywhere. Its disgusting.

    If you didnt, watch the new tv show "zoo" im loving it. :) i know im going to see some animals killed in it (i dont think that is avoidable), but if i can see thousands of humans killed by animals.. im happy xD.

    Not sure how a thread about the maintenance length turned into a PETA rally, but knock it off, this is neither the time nor place.

    Hahaha, i think the OP of this thread is rolling over laughing too, maybe at self... as most of the ones who started 'betting' as they ALL overestimated the staff and hitting over 6 hours even before servers are up.

    i know... its something that i am forced to struggle with daily due to my profession. i dont have the luxury of blissful ignorance. i was 17 years old when my chef made us go down to the abattoir to teach us a harsh lesson in wastage and respect for food. i shudder to realise those guys were on their best behaviour with us on the floor...
    so i try to do the right thing as often as i can, but i often have to justify my decisions to beancounters that cant see past the bottom line. because of that i am forced to buy cage eggs and the like, but i do occasionally celebrate a victory, like my blanket bans on veal and pork products.​​

    The same reason others thursdays it transforms in something else.. in the end it is never going to be a maintenance thread lol.

    About PETA, please dont name one of the worst shelter corps in the world. They are disgusting.

    SO back on topic... i bet we'll be lucky if servers are back up by 5pm CST. I estimate higher, props to me if i'm right... gonna def use my bragging rights.

    Yeah, dunno what a PETA is, but I know this wait is a PITA! And a royal one at that! We're approaching midnight again here. Does no one at Cryptic ever %^&*()_)(*&^%$ test their patches?! It's so unprofessional.

    well it was a 3 hour patch with 4 hours of down time and counting lol
    but would rather see all bugs fixed in one long down time
    then two or three days of multiple down times
  • bloodyrizbloodyriz Member Posts: 1,756 Arc User
    Yeah this blows my 20 hour cooldowns all to hell.

    The most funny thing is, are they going to extend the summer event? ^^ lolz. Because they already extended it 1 day but it was useless, so, it is going to end the 18th?. I mean this is getting ridiculous lolz.

    Hey the OP said at beginning of this thread that all we had to expect from winning was bragging rights so... yeah.. it's like bragging about the apocalypse and saying haha i win... to uh... nobody but it's still winning a bet right?

    Sadly i have no faith that once we can log back in... we won't still get emergency maintenance. So just in first 'patch' we're exceeding anyone's estimation, and we can still expect some extra :smile:

    Although i picked up my Nandi long ago i think regarding the summer event extending it a day is not enough. Who knows what further issues might occur with the game once it comes back up. I think a fairer situation would be to extend the summer event to Monday the 20th Just in case the server needs more love

    I think it's fair to say that the length of downtime has wound up being worse than anyone could have guessed.

    I think you've hit the nail on the head. It's midnight where i live so i'm hoping it's fixed in 8-12 hours from now.

    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    And they're guessing a couple more hours yet now according to twitter. That should do it for me for the night.

    Try again tomorrow.

    It's nice that the admin talked to us at all and let us know it was about hardware too, and offering compensation. Never expect compensation from Cryptic when they took my Sub away after only 15 days due to their site TRIBBLE up not on my end. Send two reports and never get a response back after a month of waiting. But sure, give us another day for Risa... when most are done already :P What about our Rep cooldowns... or keeping up with tickets. Not to mention this admin stated the game was back up in their post (unless i misread) hours ago and was obviously wrong or didn't get proper communication themselves. I'm not a negative person, and I honestly give props to them for giving us anything for the extra downtime... but the compensation was offered hours earlier and the downtime is still ongoing.... I think most of us would just rather things be better prepared to avoid it all together.

    They are not going to extend it past the 17th. Trust me. They always do the same, they "say" that they extend the event for 1 day, something happens, but that day is not compensated. So, if the story repeats, tomorrow will be the last day of the summer event. I personally dont care, i already have the ship (thou i am not going to fly it ever in my life) but the facts are funny to say the least.
