Love and Deepspace Writing

For example, in his earliest depictions, Ninurta is a god of agriculture and of healing with the power to cure illness and to exorcise demons. As Mesopotamia grew more militarized, Ninurta became a war deity, though he retained many of his earlier agricultural attributes. Tyr in Norse mythology is the god of war, law, justice, and honorable oaths. Inanna is the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of war, love, and sex. Athena is the goddess of war and wisdom.

they probably had a multi planned for qixi, which of course included valko.

but martial ode HAS TO come out mid-to-end-august, coinciding with qixi. customer service has been spreading the word. that's one fixed date we can base our predictions around. which means that the qixi banner has been shelved, because a multi and a myth have never overlapped before.

september and november are two other fixed dates we have for caleb and sylus main story updates, as promised in their valko cancellation post. why is this important?

1) we have to remember valko comes with a main story update. and they made a promise to update caleb's in september, and sylus's in november, which are being written anew from scratch because they took valko out of the story.

2) with that in mind, if caleb main story update happens in september, we are not getting valko back in the game in 2026, we don't even need to look out for november to see if they'll change their minds to release valko instead. the earliest it happens is january 2027 (2025 main story update + caleb debut happened in january, to our yesteday also happened in january 2026), but they are stingy with main story updates -- valko's entire main story section has to be rewritten at that point, as well. so, just to be sure, i would say q1-q2 2027 (death and rebirth update happened may 2025.) the worst outcome is summer 2027.

but.

the more they postpone valko, the more they ruin his story and also bleed money, and the latter has no connection to the boycott. remember, a live service gacha like this plans and gets done with the content it's going to release like months and months and months before. this means valko had a bunch of multi cards prepared. they have to keep discarding those multi cards one by one as they postpone and postpone. but also, they can't pick up with the next multi after his eventual debut either, as there would be a story gap filled with the already discarded multis. regardless, it's an unsustainable, giant mess.

3) the EARLIEST valko can be released is september. this doesn't count the reinstatement announcement they would make about their decision on that, could come early as the end of august, and i have a feeling that how rafayel's myth performs is going to be the deciding factor on this (as they'll have better data to analyze on the boycott). all of this, by the way, happens if they go back on the caleb main story update promise and decide to go with the original plan. HOWEVER, if we don't get anything in september, that's when we are looking at november for our next date to buckle up for.

Morning everyone! Not good morning, because a good morning would mean we had Valko and Infold wasn't dumb as rocks.

Anyway, we have a lot to go over. Most of my normal metrics are going to be at the bottom of this report. There are more pressing matters currently.

8/3/2026 Report

New Banner and Event

So, Infold dropped a Caleb 5-star last night. Really stupid thing to do, but whatever.

Here's some quick facts:

It will run from 8/5-8/14. We don't know what's coming after that.

The original post of the wish rewards had a mistake. The pose was Sylus's from Kitten Included when it was initially posted. They corrected it later.

The colors on the wish rewards are just...weird. The turquoise doesn't match anything else.

All numbers and words have been completely censored in Caleb's card. Remember, he has a canon basketball number (5). All of the text looks like AI generated slop.

LADS is getting ratio'd to high hell on the PV. As of 11:45AM CDT: — X: 13k likes VS 17k comments — Instagram: likes hidden. 23.8k comments — My personal favorite: RedNote: 35.5k likes VS 100k+ comments The vast majority of the comments on all platforms are demanding Valko's return. Oh, and bbno$ ratio'd LADS on their own post.

We're back up to top trending spots after last night. Infold just fueled the fire big time.

Current Protest

DO NOT LOG IN. DO NOT SPEND. DO NOT PULL. The metrics matter now more than ever. Cards will always rerun.

Don't stop posting. Hashtags: #NoValkoNoMoney #BringValkoBack #BringBackValko #ValkoIsLoved #ValkoIs6th #Valko #PapergamesRuinsCNgaming

Email! Here is my post with an email template. If you choose to write your own, here are the main points: — Demand Valko be reinstated as the 6th LI — Emphasize you will stop all spending until this demand is met [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

DO NOT CONTACT federal/government agencies, national news networks, or foreign media. This does not need to become a geopolitical conflict.

DO NOT TRUST UNVERIFIED INFORMATION. Rumors and speculation are not going to help us at this point. I will still give you my thoughts and educated guesses, but take everything without a source with a grain of salt.

Join Weibo and RedNote! This is where our CN sisters are fighting. RedNote is easy to sign up for, but I have instructions for creating a Weibo account below. Here is the main poll we're pushing on Weibo.

CN girls are on the move big time.

Valko's supertopic is still trending at number 6 on Weibo. I get to include my own screenshots for this now.

Infold seems to have removed Version 6.0 from their bio. I double-checked this myself, and I can verify it. All of the promo material for 6.0 is still public on their social media. SPECULATION: They could be preparing for an entire re-launch of Version 6.0. I think it's in their best interest at this point, but we don't know what that would look like yet.

My Thoughts

I know we're all pissed—believe me, I am too. But, I don't see this as a setback.

A solo card was expected. They cannot continue to rerun old material at this rate. However, the solo was supposed to be Rafayel, not Caleb. Either way, this is much better than a multi-banner.

I am still operating under the opinion that no news is good news. Infold has not directly addressed the Valko situation for a reason—we simply don't know what that reason is. Until they say that the cancellation is final, we have a fighting chance.

The release of Caleb's card does not erase all of the positives we have seen. We still have plenty of articles that support his release, hundreds of thousands of fans that are fighting to get him back, and Infold themselves have changed their tune. Between supporting the Supertopic on Weibo and the adjustments to customer service messages, I'm tempted to believe that they're trying to figure out a way to bring him back.

Let's look at this logically. Valko would bring in a ton of revenue for Infold. That's all they care about. Businesses and corporations don't operate based on feelings. They care about revenue, ROI, and metrics. They spent two years and millions of dollars developing him. Bottom line: releasing Valko is the logical decision.

I'm not here to make excuses for Infold. They dug their own grave. However, I do believe that they have a lot going on behind the scenes, especially in the legal sense. This could be their way of buying time.

Please don't let this ruin your hope. There is still a very strong possibility that Valko is coming back. We can't expect an immediate resolution at this point. Caleb's banner ends on the 14th—this is our next checkpoint. Until then, don't stop pushing.

Let me remind all of you to stay kind and respectful. I know tensions are high and everyone is frustrated, but we have a common enemy. Do not turn on each other. Support one another. We have to do this as a community—now more than ever.

Please rest, eat, hydrate, and take care of yourselves. Take a step back if you need to. I'll always be here to give you the information you need.

Sending my love <3

The game already had problems even before the new LI was announced and they ignored it.

Players offered ideas on how to improve the gaming experience, how to develop practically dead aspects of the game, but they were ignored.

Players wanted answers about the content release, but they were ignored.

Sylus and Caleb players still haven't received the same amount of base content as OG3, and all questions have been ignored.

They say they won't remove Valko, but they break their word and cancel him.

They say there will be a new Rafayel's myth in July, but they break their word again.

I wouldn't be surprised if the promised stories for Caleb and Sylus also don't come out when they promised (September and November).

Which is why the one thing you absolutely must not do is spend money. Log in if you want. Pull if you must. But, please, do not purchase anything new.

I absolutely understand the desire to maintain a 100% collection record. There are several banners I'm personally dreading coming back. But there will always be reruns and, frankly, if we show them we're serious enough, Infold will either be forced fix their issues or burn the game to the ground. Given their greed, it will invariably be the latter.

The fact that the boycott has been so successful is actually incredibly impressive. The cynic in me wasn't expecting us to get this far, and I've never been so happy to be wrong.

I'm proud of you, of us.

I repeat
