So.

You might see this post and think "Aw dude it's an Anon, I'm gonna skip this and do something else"

I am an old time vet of this Wiki, I left a long time ago due to problems in real life, and due to this Wiki taking over a part of my life that I couldn't get back.

I stopped playing TOS after I left this Wiki, simply because I didn't find any more fun in the game anymore. Come around 3 months after I quit, I very slowly began to play again, and started to play a little bit more and more with each coming day. I usually play like 1 game per day, and that's considering that I have absolutely NOTHING to do. Some of the changes TOS has had have surprised me, others, not so much. So I wanted to look back and see what I've missed and what I think is best for not only the future of this game but also the future of this Wiki.

The Game and It's Pay-To-Play State:

In my opinion, I feel that TOS did a good choice making TOS pay-to-play. They tried their best to get rid of bots, including Captchas, Anti-Spam, and other stuff. So I can't really blame the guys at Blankmedia Games for doing this, because they had no choice. Although in my opinion, the "Refer a friend" system they came up with kinda sucks now. Giving a person a code so that they can play without having to pay is a good idea, but making it so that if that player gets punished then the person giving the code also gets punished? Not a good idea. Imagine your in a game, and you gave a code to your friend, and now he's playing. If your friend gets caught doing something like pretending to be a bot, game throwing, exploiting, etc, etc... Congrats, now you're going to get punished for your friend's actions. Which to me seems a little unfair.

Other Smaller Changes in TOS

I do like the new Sheriff Results, It makes it a lot easier to play him and it also makes it a lot easier for newer players to understand how it works, without having to make it so overcomplicated or oversimplified.

I'm also a bit sad that they removed Rivals mode, I did enjoy that game mode :(

The State of this Wiki

When I first came back on this Wiki in 3 months to look at how it changed, needless to say, I was very impressed with a few of the changes that were made. But in my eyes, the community has changed. It wasn't the old time TOS Wiki community that I once knew. It's hard to describe what exactly I mean, but you might get the idea.

Final Statements:

Overall, taking a break from TOS was a good idea from me. I will NOT be returning back to the Wiki, as well as rejoining the Discord server. I will be keeping my self anonymous for the time being. And even if I did want to say who I was, I can't really remember my username so...

But please, try and guess as to who I was or could've been...
