life is chaotic

FUCK Cinder. Fuck Cinder and everything it stands for.

I’m so fucking betrayed. Finding out that something I’ve loved (and waited for eagerly for years) was just a fucking test for some crypto garbage?? Literally I don’t have words to express my anger right now. 

All that time waiting for fer.al to come out so I can relive my childhood (animal jam) in a new game: gone.

All that time grinding for wings that I never got: gone.

All those hours during school when I absentmindedly played fer.al: gone.

I know fer.al’s not going to shut down as soon as Cinder’s released but goddamn it feels like it’s gone already. Cinder has soured any thought of fer.al.

Whatever you do, don't buy ANYTHING from any of the games wildworks develops. Animal jam, animal jam play wild, tunnel town, fer.al, etc. He said he wasn't announcing this game to the fer.al community to promote the game, but that's a big lie. He wants to fill his wallet even more, knowing that adults play fer.al too, not just teens. He also randomly brought his daughter into this ama (ask me anything) he was hosting in the fer.al discord server, saying that she was the quintessence of the fer.al community. Like what the fuck?

Cryptocurrency I believe in general is just one big scam. You never hear anything good about it, only that it's related to giant scams and money laundering schemes.

I actually told my mom about this (she works at a bank) and she told me that Clark is most likely doing this so he can make money without reporting it as income. I doubt he even told his employees about this, only giving them the information just before hosting the ama. Just to let you know, people are infuriated about this. This is not okay. As a lot of you know, nfts are bad for the environment. Wildworks is pro environment apparently, but clearly isn't.

(It was originally 24 hours, but of course wildworks couldn't even give us that)

WildWorks shit on its players once again, to no ones' surprise, but this is a new low. For everyone who spent time and money on Fer.al, this will literally be your last chance to take screenshots, say goodbye to friends, and anything else you want to do on this game!

Please don't miss your chance to preserve some semblance of the memories you made on Fer.al.

Edit: There's a rumor going around that WildWorks may be using the avatars YOU made on Fer.al for Cinder. That's right, your customized hard work may be going to an nft crypto game without your consent. WW changed their TOS to say that everything you make belongs to them. Remember to screenshot your avatars! And if you want to, block them out afterwards. I guess they realized that their players are more creative and unique than them. WW and Clark Stacy, I hope you're proud of yourselves. You screwed over an entire community in every way possible. What comes around goes around..

(sigh) THIRD EDIT: You can definitely still block out your avatars if you wish, but if the aforementioned rumor is true, it's highly likely that wildworks already took anything they wanted that you created. The original final reopening was supposed to be about a week after the first closing. Now, it's stretched on for almost a month. Which is highly suspect. I guess what I'm saying is it's probably too late, but who knows?

Anyways, may WildWorks and Clark Stacy go bankrupt.

Australia Day: The Main Event in the National Sport of Denial

Note: The following text was written by some unknown activists who redecorated several ‘ADSHELL’ corporate advertising spaces in the city of Melbourne, in so-called Australia on 26.01.16 in protest against the ‘Australia Day’ national public holiday and it’s accompanying ‘official’ celebrations.

Australia Day: The Main Event in the National Sport of Denial

Today, advertising across the city of Melbourne has been replaced with messages that confront “Australia Day” for its inherent celebration of invasion and the genocide that continues to be perpetrated against First Nations Peoples of this land.

This act of protest seeks to highlight that so-called “Australia” was invaded under false pretenses, and that the sovereignty of its First Nations was never ceded, whilst simultaneously reclaiming public spaces from commercial entities for use as a public forum.

For many Indigenous people, today is a day of anger and mourning. In the wars that followed the initial invasion 228 years ago, hundreds of thousands of Aboriginal people lost their lives in defense of their homeland. Countless more have died since as a result of the national narrative of denial and neglect that has since been perpetuated by governments, businesses and schools. To uphold this narrative through the celebration of Australia Day, is to continue the genocidal mindset of the first invaders and to uphold their actions.

The private entities that pay to control our public spaces know this history. They have helped perpetuate this patriotic myth because they profit from denial. These companies are the same companies that are responsible for the displacement of Aboriginal people from their lands, the pollution of environments and the destruction of cultures. They would have Aboriginal people assimilate or be wiped out and they would have you, the individual, conform or disappear.

We stand against all private entities that would seek to colonise our minds for profit and we stand in solidarity with all Aboriginal peoples fighting to decolonise this continent.

History is shared. Reflect and acknowledge.
