My drama in CrimeCraft has reached another new low, or high, depending on how you view it. I got banned again earlier today, scored a hat trick, for reasons that are once again beyond comprehension. I am now being accused of having "divulging privileged information about an upcoming patch." I only obtained said information from
an article published by Vogster itself on TenTonHammer, which the community manager linked in the CrimeCraft forums and is mentioned as news item in the game's launcher. Priceless ....
On a more upbeat note, we watched a few episodes of the new Covert Affairs TV series, and it's fairly good. Of course, nothing beat the Hell's Kitchen season finale. It was good stuff, and the right choice was made!

MOTD
It was surprisingly quiet yesterday. Maybe everybody is on vacation or getting ready for GamesCom next week.
We started watching Covert Affairs, and while it's nothing super, it's better than we expected. Since it's On Demand, we don't need to DVR it and it's free, so we figure we may as well watch it while we can.
The drama in CrimeCraft continues, as I've had to tell a bunch of people why two of their biggest players were banned for shady reasons. So far, the response has been heartening. Most people are baffled, claiming Vogster is overreacting. A response from the VP of Vogster stated that we violated "the spirit of the game/tournament." I'd say that in a game about gangs, crafting drugs, killing rival gangs, and robbery, we actually raised the bar on that spirit.
