KoL always was a boy's club for the benefit of Jick and Mr Skullhead.
Skullhead started #lounge with the express purpose of recruiting young hotties for his harem.
I'm sorry to learn of Jick's wife suffering so much in silence and being blamed for her rape. I hope she has removed herself from that messy situation.
When Warehouse23 became the cool clan, Jick inserted himself into our clan without so much as a by your leave. His behaviour in clan chat was boorish at best and clearly fuelled by whatever he was high on at the time.
It made several of us uncomfortable but we lumped it because he was the God in the Game.
I don't know if it affected the number of players. 300 are playing right now, typical number. Mr. Accessory sales plummeted cuz people started buying them from the mall instead of with real money. They doubled in meat price. Others then bought with real money to take advantage of the spike and Asym could have ended up in the black. See if it repeats in Oct.
2015 is when the thread starter joined the forum. I'm still playing, although I've wanted KOL to come to an end for years. Leaving over this would have been easy.
