Hi Mark! Since Kamigawa block was set a long time in the past (relative to the Mending and thereabouts), perhaps a new Japanese block can still be set in Kamigawa, but takes place in the present and thus has a different overall aesthetic, due to the ever-shifting aesthetic of cultures over time. What say you?

The question is how far makes the “Return to Kamigawa” camp still happy?

As a Japanese player, I would be happy as long as it’s not whitewashed or has the white savior trope. Magic as a game has evolved to the point where we don’t need exact same mechanics to make the set feel the same.

Yosh, I am going to do something about those bots 

We need a name!

– Botdestroyerarmy
– Killthebots
– Thebotpurge
– Purgethebots

Which one?

Let’s go with Purgethebots

Follow @purgethebots if you want to fight! More info will follow soon. 

How the fuck are you guys gonna fight? What will you do omg

Bot accounts are always hosted on proxies. A proxy changes your device’s IP, so basically Tumblr’s anti-spam system thinks the bot account is a new user, registering with an IP that’s never been used before, while in reality all the accounts are hosted on the same computer or VPS. 

Tumblr allows multiple accounts per IP if you add new accounts to it very slowly. One every 3 days for example. You will trigger the system if you create 10 new accounts in one day with the same IP. Proxies are expensive, so in order to make a profit most botters use the same proxy for more accounts. So basically, if we kill one, we kill 10. 

Then, if you go with cheaper proxies, the proxies you can buy are on the same subnet. If we kill one, we kill 50. 

People bot because it’s profitable. However, if we make one big coordinated effort to purge these bots, they won’t make a profit. The cost of proxies will be more than the revenue, so they will stop. 

Right now it’s an absolute epidemic. But if we work together for a month or so, we have a very high chance of winning this battle! 

Good point! 

1. Bot accounts more or less always post the same comments
2. @staff will, as far as I know, verify first before freezing or terminating an account

This kinda sounds like the movie purge. Is this going to be our Purge???

Yes
