@Frank cc @AshleyNunn

murgatroid99

7:32 PM

@Frank It's interesting that the username was anonymized, but the delete message still shows the original username

Frank

@John I already flagged it. We'll see what comes of it, as I think it's going to be up to the statements they make.

@murgatroid99 Probably a string value, for exactly cases like this, so that delete messages aren't lost when accounts are.

murgatroid99

@Frank I mean that the delete message should probably also have been anonymized

for consistency

Unionhawk

Huh. Interesting.

Frank

@murgatroid99 Probably. I don't know what COPPA requires, though.

murgatroid99

@Frank It just doesn't make sense to change a username without changing all instances of that username

I'm just going to go report a bug

Frank

7:35 PM

@murgatroid99 Well, do they change a username? Or just delete it?

I think it's just a deletion.

murgatroid99

@Frank I mean that the deleted user's username appears as "user12345" in the comments and "Assley Gaming" in the delete message. That's not sensible behavior

user15026

@Frank I've poked it up the chain to those who deal with it.

Frank

@murgatroid99 Unless it's done by design, as delete messages would be more important than comment sources.

user15026

As they're already aware of the priors, and I informed aobut new stuff today.

Frank

@AshleyNunn Hopefully something does; this is the third time, and he doesn't seem to be getting the hint.

murgatroid99

7:37 PM

@Frank I'm not saying they should get rid of the deletion messages. I'm just saying that they should display usernames consistently

user15026

@Frank Well, we handled the other two, he just happens to keep trying.

user15026

So i am making sure that the people who do the things are aware, and will take action as appropriate.

Frank

@AshleyNunn Yep. Sadly, there's nothing else we can do, if we believe someone is circumventing the age restriction.

user15026

@Frank Yeah, there's nothing to be done unless they admit outright, but I've mentioned the priors, and it will be handled as needed once people who do the things look at it and make whatever decision.

user15026

Us poking at it and needling at the kid isn't going to help matters.

Frank

7:39 PM

@AshleyNunn That's all I ask. We do our diligence to bump it up the chain, and let the higher ups deal with it.

user15026

@Frank Which is done now :)

Frank

@AshleyNunn No, that was more since he didn't seem to understand why his accounts kept getting deleted. Which I suspect he probably got in an email, too, but hard to tell, since I don't know (and don't need to) the whole process.

At this point, I am content to leave it in their hands.

Q: How can I get to the chests?

In A Wizard's Lizard, there's the occasional room per dungeon with a special chest made unavailable by blocking rocks. Here's one from the second stage, but I've seen a golden one early on regularly. How should I be able to get those chests? Is flying an option in this game? Bombs, maybe? What...

Man, there is nothing in the Club Nintendo Elite Status gifts that I want. I either have it, played it and traded it, or don't care.

Yuuki

@Frank I think there was some big blowback because people were expecting Fire Emblem-ish gameplay (a.k.a tactics).

Which is kinda weird if you think about it, considered this was announced at the same time as the new Fire Emblem game.

Frank

@Yuuki I wasn't paying attention to that. But when you do crossovers, you can't expect exact gameplay.

Yuuki

Why would they try to compete for sales with themselves?

@Frank I 'unno, Hyrule Warriors plays almost identically to Dynasty Warriors.

Frank

8:56 PM

@Yuuki Which is a happy surprise.

When you have both a tactical RPG (Fire Emblem), and a more traditional RPG (Megami Tensei), blending the two requires some compromises.

I think people were also annoyed because it felt more like a Persona crossover than a SMT crossover.
