HEY feИaddicts!
We are just at 20 days into the crew launch and I couldn't be more pumped. This year, I plan on creating and updating wikis throughout Fake with new graphics, logos, interactive rooms, secret rooms, and more! Fake has come such a long way and I cannot wait for the new users to join the site and see what it's all about. The way to do this is work hard together to make it really special, fun, and sexy of course. If you have any wikis you would like me consult me on, please let me know by inviting me to them and I will have a look. IT IS NOT TOO LATE to make Fake amazing and were going to do that by breathing a new, fresh and hip life into it. We are going to that by hitting it out on Social Media, Twitter, Facebook, & YouTube. We are going to do that by safeguarding the site for age appropriate members and we are going to do that by working as one. This crew run is not about me, it's never been. It is all about you, all of you on Fake who want real change, the kind where users are online at all hours. The kind where role playing is back and chat rooms don't have to hide their times cause they have two week to two month gaps. The kind where you cannot wait to log on because it's exactly what you remember and better than you thought. Together we can do this, but I alone cannot. Chip in by applying an approved supporter banner on your house today! Thank you so much for all of the support!!!

I was wondering when you'd rear your head again.
It's amazing that all of the things I've pointed out as problematic with FAKE you're actually taking a stance on now. ALbeit an empty one, as you've given no addresses for the social media you're going to use, and you've not provided a practical way to safe guard the site against underage members.
If you're actually serious this time, I'm willing to work with you to improve the site. However, if this is yet another attempt at blatant attention whoring, I'll tear you down just as easily as I did the first time.
And it's absolutely about you. That's what all campaigns-here or elsewhere-are about. Don't deny that. That however doesn't mean you can't do some good.
Prove me wrong about you.
Let's crunch some numbers!
On average, there is roughly 5-8 members online at any given hour, with a spike to 10-12 during night time hours in the US.
This means, at any given time, fake is roughly procuring 10-20 relevant hits per hour, for perhaps a total of 100 hits per day from relevant people either in the community or interested in joining. This is excluding people who come across FAKE randomly.
100 is an extremely generous number. I would guess it is much lower, in all reality.
This is absolutely piss-poor site traffic that no one is doing anything about. Including those in charge of the site.
So being fake as fuck is bad now? I think not.

There's being "fake as fuck", and then being manipulative. FAKE is a house of cards held together with white lies. Everyone here lies to a certain degree. However, it's usually over harmless things.
You have willfully manipulated and harrassed people from the very first day you joined the site. There are entire wikis full of screenshots of things you've done and said to people. And every time someone calls you out on it, you duck behind your sock puppet accounts and deny responsbility.
I don't know how I can make this any clearer for you. You refuse to follow the steps to do a council run, so no amount of fake quotes you wrote or diary entries will solve that. You have a toxic reputation with dozens of active members, which has been documented and is up for public display.
I honestly don't know what you're trying to accomplish at this point other than engaging with me. I'm honestly at the point I think this constant banter between us is the only reason you pop your head up. There came a point where I thought you were egotistical or insane, but I'm arriving at the realization you're neither of these things. Just incredibly lonely. That's why FAKE seems so important to you. It's the one place that people still pay you any amount of attention.
Look, run for council or spin your wheels, nobody really cares. Just stop pretending that being a manipulative asshole is something to be proud of, or something other people could get behind.
I was looking over my block list this morning (up to almost 95 people!), and the results were overwhelmingly male.
Looking over the FAKE profiles by general population, the site overwhelmingly skews towards users citing "male" as their gender.
It takes five seconds to search this up yourself.
And yet we still have members joining daily to find women on the internet.
Why Banning Members Solves Nothing:
Hi folks. In an effort to create a more empowered user base, I thought I'd fill you guys in on a few things that affect FAKE's end user experience. This entry is meant for information purposes only.
Let's say hypothetically you have someone that annoys the piss out of you. You've tried reporting them to our radically inactive guard to no avail. You've attempted doing everything in your power to have this member removed. Finally, by stroke of luck or one of the guards waking up and getting off their ass, they're banned. problem solved, right?
Completely incorrect.
FAKE bans members based on ISP address/Email address. This is how a majority of websites today function. It's the easiest way to deal both with problematic people and spam bots. An administrative team can line-item block a group of people from a certain ISP number, a certain user, or a certain email address. Typically, this gives the flexibility to deal with a variety of problems without putting unncessary strain on both the administration and user base. This would be a one stop solution to problematic members, were it not 2015.
When it comes to ISP numbers, there's two varieties: Static and dynamic. Static ISP numbers are unchanging. Dynamic ISP do the opposite, and can change for a variety of reasons. When a ban is enforced on a static ISP, it would take the user physically changing their ISP number or logging in from a different location, with a different account, to re-enter the user base. The same doesn't hold true for a dynamic ISP. This is where we typically ban members based on email address AND ISP-it solves the issue of someone with a dynamic ISP re-entering and causing problems.
However, it's incredibly easy and simple to create a false Email account and register for fake. Coupled with a dynamic ISP address, guards and the administrative of fake are caught completely unaware as problematic members re-join fake and start trouble anew.
To be perfectly blunt, there's not a solution to this issue. However, a more active guard would easily solve problems. That said, almost every single one of our guards is completely inactive in their duties, and require hard evidence before proceeding with a ban-meaning that problematic members are usually undealt with, or can easily re-enter general population with zero punishment.
But hey, you can block them right?
Why Blocking Members Solves Nothing:
FAKE's blocking system is one of the worst I have seen in my entire life. When you block a member, it prevents them from showing up on the "online members" list, it prevents them from messaging you, and otherwise interacting with you individually. This would be fine, were it not for the fact that every diary entry/guestboo
What, realistically, can we do about this?
First of all, if someone is repetitively being a problem, TAKE A FUCKING SCREENSHOT. It's as easy as hitting the "print screen" on your keyboard. Contact guards immeadiately with the information. Copy/pasting messages will not work, as they're text and can be altered. Secondly, report sock puppet accounts the moment you're aware. Encourage guards to be on the lookout for sockpuppets, and be vigilant towards static ISP/email blocking.
If you're unsure, it's as easy as watching the nature in which someone handles their interactions with the community. Most people are too idiotic to make their sockpuppet accounts act radically different. It's part of the reason why, despite being banned several times, I've been able to return each time. Act different, and nobody suspects a thing.
Lastly, while our current guards are completely ineffective morons who can't be bothered with FAKE, don't be afraid to reach out to them. On occasion they actually do something.
Next time, we'll talk about using Firebug to access pass word protected wikis.
Have fun kids.
The current feИmore campagin slogan is #wynterforchan
Think of how we are helping his contributions be not in vain!
Love and light bitches!
-Luis
^pseudonym for a sock puppet account, completely generalized emotional appeal, and using hashtags on a website that doesn't enable them.
I suppose if you can't fight them with logic, being an idiot works just as well.
Let's have a Theme song for the Campaign too. "Angel Duster" by Run The Jewels, Live on Colbert:
https://www.yo
Since I'm running, I suppose I should write some kind of campaign thing, eh?
Folks, my official slogan is "none of the above". That's right. Don't vote for me. Don't vote for Fen, don't vote for sammie or any of the other chuckle fucks. Because that's what we are-a bunch of chuckle fucks trying to win a popularity contest on a website nobody knows about. It ultimately doesn't matter which of us winds up on council, as the job is something that not one single person can accomplish given FAKE's current circumstances.
Here's the facts:
We have an ultimately inactive council and guard. FAKE is dying not because we're losing members, but because we're doing absolutely nothing to procure new members. This is something that electing a new council member WILL NOT solve. Why? Because assuming one person or individual can live up to everything required to fix FAKE is foolish. No one person can, especially if they're not getting paid.
If you want to improve FAKE, don't vote for council. Rather, take the iniative and finally embark on that idea that you thought would help the site. Create a twitter account for us, and link everyone to it. Create a facebook account, and brag about it. Reach out to other fantasy roleplaying/er
So again. Don't vote for anyone, least of all me. Vote for the power you already have in yourself as devoted members of the site, and push that power forward.
I'm going to end this by saying I've made this same appeal before. I was let down the two and only times I did. I'm bracing myself for disappointment again.
So surprise me. Surprise yourself, and surprise the rest of us.
Thanks for your time. I hope your weekend is brilliant.
Your candidate for council,
-Hardee har har
Denial cannot overtake fact. Lies will not ensue more lies...unless you let them. Deplorable? A run for council from someone who refuses to show their face, has yet to make a campaign wiki, literally has no record of what they have done on Fake...and is of course...obses
--------------
woooooo boy, one day you'll learn to just stop using emotional appeals to make a point. Let's dissect this piece of shit.
1.Denial can absolutely over take fact, and often does. If you think it doesn't, then you've clearly never seen mainstream media. People buy into denial and facts because it's easier than reality, something you've engaged in time and time again.
2. You honestly have no idea how a council run works, do you? It doesn't matter if you get votes from members. Seriously. The ultimate decision rests on the shoulder of current council members, regardless of the communities overall opinion of you. You can put the work in, but if you're an asshole, still lose. This isn't a democracy, despite what you think.
3.I'm anything but obsessed with you. It's just incredibly entertaining to watch how you react to basic questions on what exactly you'll do to improve fake. Outside of asking people to believe in you because you make a bunch of wikis and sockpuppet accounts, you've failed to answer basic questions on advertising, general repair of the GUI frontend for members, and provided unpractical explanations as to how you'll deal with underage members. In short, you're just like me-but I'm a hell of a lot more transparent.
4. So you like Trump. Wow. Kinda says it all right there.
5."I am the only one I know who is continuously active, engaging and trying to put my best foot forward. I don't lie, I don't play games, and I am certainly not cold like say...Wynter? Have a great weekend."
Several members have came forward and commented on how you manipulated them and endangered their emotional well being. You've admitted to being Wynter several times before, as well as your ISP showing both of you to be the same person. I don't care if you treat "Wynter" as a seperate entity, the fact stands that both your account and that one are maintained by the same manipulative, straw-man argument creating person.
So again, in a single post, you've lied, contradicted yourself, and have yet to answer basic questions about your campaign. If you're really so confident that anyone cares to vote for you, I fail to see why you'd have to resort to such low mud-slinging tactics with the opposition. I think you're afraid. I think you're afraid you won't win, and it will only serve to confirm what you already know about your reputation here.
I'm a troll. I come here to harass people. That's it. But at least I'm honest on that fact. You don't even have the courage to be honest with yourself, much less the member base.
But by all means, try. It's going to be fun to watch you flail aimlessly.
I would like to clarify a few things.
1- I don't endorse censorship but I do endorse safety. As a council member I will do everything in my ability to develop an action plan that can verify someones age. Most adult websites will require a credit card and photo id. I think a photo id is well enough as a credit card isn't necessary. Please be advised though, adding this step would mean Heddate systems would have to agree or comply which they have not. Please also note that no verified cases of any pedophilia or rape cases have ever been linked to this site and most of it's members come from Elftown or Elfpack. Elf12 users don't even know about Fake. Why do you think it's a ghost town?
2- I do still support Sammie as well as NekkoFox. I believe both of them would be excellent council members and I would be happy to stand along side both of them if the guards will allow real change. I don't plan on it just being me, I plan on it being a group of young individuals (mid 20s+) who have been on Fake for a long time to work together to get things done.
3- All of my supporters will automatically get a Paypal credit to use towards a donation to Fake. This is a holiday promotion I am only doing until January. Essentially once you have pledge to support me, I'll credit your PayPal email and you can donate it back to Fake and have colors on your house/presenta
4- Copyright feИaddicts promotional campaign, logo, and personal photos should not be removed, reprinted, or shared on social media without written consent.
5- Please be advised the opening speech is not the entire wiki. Virtual RPG rooms will become available in 2016 as well as YouTube videos, Supporters Area, Newsletter, and more. I have only begun to make my stance and messages clear.
Should you have additional questions, contact me directly. Thank you.
--------------
1. Credit cards, in an era where literally anyone of any age can purchase a gift credit card and pass age verification, is unpractical, as-is photo ID. Likewise, you do nothing to answer how you're going to secure said information. This statement is essentially hand-waving that promises nothing. Getting Heddate to comply will be as easy as waving money under their face, as they refuse to do anything about current problems, and instead shove them on to a rotating cast of luddites to solve.
2. It's not about you supporting them, it's about the council believing them to be capable members. Considering your standing with the council right now, they're going to take your opinion with a grain of salt.
3. Considering you can't even afford to do give-aways on your YT channel, much less how you've manipulated MANY active members to the point of driving them from the site, this is an objective lie you're using in order to secure votes you don't have.
4. Literally no one cares. You're also implying that "Copyright", which is a form of censorship, is somehow appropriate when applied to your graphics...whi
5. Again, no one cares.
I'd like to address the following as well:
Your statement about "asking you things when you're not a council member" being "pointless" shows how completely unaware you are of how a campaign runs. Given the fact you're an American citizen who has had to sit through debates, primaries, presidential races and more, surely you realize how glaring this statement looks? It makes you no better than any given candidate who refuses to answer the questions of the press. Meaning you've either something to hide, or you're ignorant, neither of which are appropriate.
And considering the fact you're purposefully spreading malicious rumors about other members, along with harrassing them, that doesn't look good for your public image.
I'm going to end this by stating what I did the last time you tried to run: You will not win. You won't win because those on council happen to hate you, because your reputation has been tarnished by your own actions, but most of all, because you're a dramatic little bitch. You're trying to stand for something without a single pillar to stand on, and when people point this out, you react erratically and violently. That's not a leader that I, or any other member, wants in charge.
In regards to why Hardee won't show his face, it's because he's my ex boyfriend...in case anyone was wondering.
I would also like to say that I hold nothing against him and I wish him the very best in his Fake council run!
^Since Fenmore is resorting to lies now, I'm going to state the truth.
I don't know Fenmore personally. I don't know is first name, or anything about him. The list of things I know is as follows:
1. He's maintained multiple sock puppet accounts on fake
2. He has a youtube channel
3. He thinks FAKE is somehow important.
That's it. I literally know nothing about the guy beyond that. For all that I know, he could be multiple people posing under the same account.
I have been on FAKE in multiple guises for a while now. Most of the members here know me personally outside of fake. I don't show my face here because I actually have a life, and literally come to fake to troll people and pass the time. That's it.
No, I am not, nor would I ever be, in any way romantically involved with Fenmore (or whomever is ultimately behind the account). I think he is a deplorable person, and always have, and have been extremely vocal about what a problem he is to the community with multiple council members and non-council members.
If you're going to lie Fenmore, at least try to be more creative. Otherwise, you're just wasting your breath.
Basic problems with fake that have never been remedied that Fenmore will do nothing about:
HTML/SQL errors, exploits and holes out the wazzoo. Fake has received limited service on the technical side, and it clearly shows through how many broken user UI interactions even technical luddites can see.
WE'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING ABOUT UNDERAGE MEMBERS. The council has removed people who were obviously too young to hadave been on here before, but otherwise have taken zero steps to ensure that underage members don't expose themselves. The potential for this to be exploited by sexual predators is enormous.
Speaking of which, we've rarely done anything effective about problematic members. The current system in place requires evidence of harrassment, and even when such evidence is presented, it's rare that ANY guard or council member is active enough to do anything about it, much less offer advice other than "just block them". In a world with dynamic IP addresses, a simple block solves nothing. I would know. I've been blocked on here before, and came back.
Advertising in any form. In the world of social networking, the fact that NOT A SINGLE FUCKING MEMBER has created a Fake twitter, facebook, tumblr, imgur, snapchat, kik group, skype group or ANYTHING ELSE shows how incredibly lazy or (at the least) wilfully ignorant those who are in charge are in terms of what such platforms would accomplish for FAKE.
Let's say we do something about underage members and require some sort of authentication or proof of age. We've literally NO ONE capable of creating a secure system that would hold that information. Think about how incredibly stupid that is in 2015.
Lastly, there are simply basic general maintenance items that need addressed immeadiately, regardless of who is on council. When did "slut of the week" become "Slut of the bi-yearly"? Why don't we have new erotic literature up on the front page? Why hasn't fake reached out to similar websites?
I ask this, because I've asked it of Fenmore, and he refuses to address the issues whatsoever. He's going to continue to refuse to address them if he's on council.
Think about that.
Fuck it, I'm running for council.
Since [fenmore] refuses to answer basic questions about how he plans to improve fake, I'm officially throwing my hat into the ring.
I'm not promising you anything. I make to claims to improve the website. In fact, I'll be up front, honest, and admit I could give a shit less about this place.
But vote for me, because your other option is feeding into the ego of a mad man.
"Oh my...looking back at this 'responds'tolo
Do NOT act like you are innocent. You are a little devil, who obviously doesn't realize that what you write will be seen, and a person will be hurt. You're all little bullies.
Do not blame him for having a bad period of time in his life, where he made bad choices and was together with the wrong people. He's honestly been through so much international bullshit and hate, that you wouldn't believe it.
Luckily, he's cleaning up his act now. Still though, most of you don't applaud him for doing that. Which is just fucking IGNORANT and douchy of you. Shame on you. It's like he can't do anything right, without it being a "PR-stunt" or something "his manager told him to do" - you all WISH for him to be a little devil, well, too bad he's proving you wrong.
People in this world are fucked up, and do you know what the worst part is? They don't even realize it themselves."

What this actually reads:
"I, Fenmore, typed this myself in order to better paint the portrayal of a victim, and warrant sympathy from those around me."
For those that care:
I'm not calling fenmore. I don't even have a phoneline, nor a cell phone.
I sleep during those hours. There's no way in hell I'd get out of bed just to bother him.
Also, [fenmore], if you're earnestly being trolled, it's as easy as posting a picture of your incoming calls. Prove to us you're not just lying.
Also, most people on this website hate you. I promise you, that list is long, and plenty of others hate you more than I do.
[NerdyGothCurves]: I have recieved a few complaints about you having peoples numbers and harrassing them into voting for you when they say they have never given you their number nor wanna vote. This has become an issue brought to my attention. Not only is it against the Fake Rules, but also against the law. Cease it immediately. Pictures of the number and the messages clearly show harrassment up until the mention of police. As a council member it is my obligation to confront problems such as this. I am requesting you stop and leave the person well enough alone and all others you've texted that i've recieved complaints about. I will be forced to report you to the Fake police if it continues and have you contacted and/or banned if you continue harrassment and rule breaking as well as law breaking. this is your one warning.
^Posting this publicly for all to see. Congrats on Ashes for doing the right thing. Thank you.
For those that care:
Fenmore, Ashes and I were actually having a relevant discussion on the effective reach of council members on his "running for council" page.
Fenmore, true to his fashion, deleted every single comment and has since placed up his own, claiming that his wiki won't be treated as a "chat" wiki.
likewise, he's deleted several of his diary entries at this point that both contradicted messages within his council page and/or showed himself in a bad light.
If you've any concerns or ideas about council, send me a message immeadiately. I've screen caps of all the comments and the page as it was before he deleted it.
"I am what you will never be to Fake, a God. I am the bare bones of turning a war torn village into paradise. I am everything and everyone you wish you could be. You are just a pathetic troll who has no life outside of here so you come on here spewing hate to fill some sad void in your fucked up life."
