A lot of hackers choose more populated servers (200 +) where you can achieve a goal in a quick amount of time and easily. Argonath does not take lightly to hackers. In fact, here's a story I intended to write on the main forums about the hacker, but obviously they're down so I didn't get to write it...

An epic tale of the reduction of a hero to zero...

20th March 2010. 8:00 CET.
A guy joined using the name "sim_sandas". I was busy trying to take out a couple of suspects, when I saw on main chat "HACKER ID 22!!!!"
Shit, I thought. I quickly did /admins to see if any of our dedicated, hard working admin team were present - none were online. I ceased chasing the suspects and alt tabbed to check MSN.
Curses! None online! I asked SugarD if any were online for him, and the response was negative. I sighed a sigh when you know there's a long road ahead of you. I knew the task. We had to kill the hacker. We had to make him reailse his hacks were worthless to the heart of Argonath, make him realise he could not beat a server full of dedicated RPers who despised and hated every hacker who set foot in their land. I knew it could be accomplished. Memories flooded back to me of Aragorn telling stories back in 2007 of him and Gandalf being forced to kill hackers in their earlier MTA:VC Careers - I knew this could be done.
I quickly finished off my suspects and alt tabbed once more to check for admins - none. I checked the ARPD & main forums, and to my short-lived relief, there was an admin browsing both forums! I rushed to send him a PM on both forums... to no avail.
I alt tabbed back in and found that a 10k reward was being offered to whoever killed him. I quickly realised what had to be done. I went to LSPD, I duty'ed. I didn't even bother with equipping myself with armour or heavy weaponry. I left the garage on a police bike and went to find the hacker airbreaking outside City Hall. This was going to be harder than previously thought. I stepped off my bike and seized a moment to try and pepper spray him - he stopped!
This didn't last long - he quickly air breaked to under the map! God damn! After 10 seconds he came back up. A number of players began spraying him with bullets, which had no effect whatsoever. After a few more airbreak incidents, I decided to try my luck - I pulled out my SMG, loaded with bullets. I took aim at my prized suspect, and shot 20 bullets into him. His flesh was penetrated. I had succeeded! He was down! He died! We all rejoiced to the fact that we, collectively, killed a HP/carhp/airbreak/teleport/speed hacker without the help of any admin intervention! And nobody at that moment knew the absolute pride I had running through my veins at the moment. All of my years in the SAPD, all of my months in SWAT, every time I went after a suspect, had finally paid off. I did a deed that saved the server, even if only temporarily, from a hacker.
Fast Forward 10 minutes later - he's back at LSPD. He had a moment of weakness and somebody took a shot at him - it killed him. He left. There was much rejoice and praise for those brave warriors who looked the enemy in the eye and said "I can do this. I can kill an invincible enemy." This is the true Argonath spirit, members not giving a shit about money, not caring about how many bullets they waste, but only caring about coming together and having a good time - yes, it was a hacker, but hell, we had a damn good time beating him.
Remember this story next time you go ingame - the Argonath community is not gone, the Argonath community has not had any set backs or failures, all we need is some large events that can and will get us all together on the one side fighting for the one cause - be it cops, criminals, drivers, medics, whatever. When something like this happens, we all realise who we are - we are Argonath RPG! And we TAKE NO HACKER PRISONERS!

Giac, go ride a cangaroo or something, there's no way I would have taken the bother to write a story about a hacker.
Lol

And if that's just what I wrote about some random hacker, imagine how awesome my school assignments are

I'm creating a paper now that should be done in five hours.

By og Land, Hand i Hand
Månedsvis har kommunal og regionalminister og Sp-Leder Liv Signe Navarsete arrangert møter over hele landet, holdt foredrag og skrevet avisinnlegg om at hun mener det er nødvendig å skape en motmakt til Oslo dominansen på mange områder i vårt samfunn. Likevel har ikke temaet havnet på den nasjonale dagsorden. Det skjer først nå, etter at statsråden inviterte til en tilsvarende møte om temaet i hovedstaten. En mer talende beskrivelse av medienes nesten ensidige oslofokus og bekreftelse på Sp-lederens påstander er vel neppe mulig å finne. "Rikskommentariatet", som dominerer debattprogrammene i radio og fjernsyn, interesserer seg dessverre alt for sjelden for det som skjer andre steder enn i hovedstadens politiske miljø, finansnæring, kulturliv, statsforvalting eller kongehus. DEt bidrar til å go samfunnsdebatten et invvsnevret perspektiv. Den baserer seg på en virkelighet som ofte ikke samsvarer med det folk utenfor Olslo opplever i sin hverdag. Etter at statsrådet maktutspill endelig er kjent, blir hun møtt av Oslo-politikere med alle piggene ut. Det er lett å skjlnne at de kan føle seg båte provosert og stigmatisert av Navarsetes utspill. Selv om hun understreker at hun ikke er imot Oslo.

Faller på sin egen urimelighet
Når trafikklederne i Brevik går ut med melding om at det ikke var deres ansvar å advare "Full City"- besetningen, kan man jo bare konstatere at den påstand faller på sin egen urimelighet. Det var dem som beordret kapteinen å ankre opp der han gjorde. Det er de som kjenner de dårlige forhold som det er å ankre akkurat der, de er de som best av alle bør kjenne værforholdene både før, og etter ankringen. Og ikke minst er det deres interesse ikke å få griset til strendene med bunkersolje. Å beordre en kaptein som aldri har vært på plassen før og som ikke kjente til de dårlige ankringsforhold, som heller ikke kjente de lokale værforhold og si at det ikke var Trafikksentralens ansvar, er en direkte ansvarsfraskrivelse. Jeg håper at rettssaken vil vise at det ikke går an å være så uansvarlig.


VM i telemarkskøyring i Tråstølen
Løypa inneheld både hopp og reipeløkkje. To omgangar vart gjennomførde med godt humør, skriv Voss Telemarklag i ei pressemelding. Dei skriv vidare at rennet hadde eit passeleg uformelt preg og med ei særs manuell tidtaking, og utan portvakter vart stemninga slik den skal vera i eit påskerenn. Rennet vart avvikla i Tråstølen.Vossameisteren i damer Junior vart Tuva Heide Nedkvitne, medan Marit Norheim Olde vann damer senior. Meisteren i herrar senior vart Tor Inge Hopsdal. Det var ingen deltakarar i herrar junior. Totalt 26 deltakarar stilte til start.Voss telemarklag har i fleire år lege dødt. Men i fjor ynskte nokre eldsjeler at det måtte blåsast nytt liv i telemarkslaget. Dermed vart den gamle tradisjonen om å  arrangera vossameisterskap i telemark onsdagen før skjertorsdag teken opp att i fjor. Det var vanleg før at me avvikla rennet onsdagen før skjærtorsdag, fortel styremedlem i Voss telemarklag, Ståle Bjørgo. Han er glad for at Telemarklaget endeleg er på beina att og ser fram til fleire spennande år frametter.

Town and Country, Hand in Hand
Months has local and regional minister and Q-Head Liv Signe held meetings across the country, gave lectures and wrote newspaper articles that she believes it is necessary to create a motmakt to Oslo dominance in many areas in our society. Yet the topic has not ended up on the national agenda. It's only now, after the minister invited to one such meeting on the topic in the main state. A more telling description of the media's nearly unilateral oslo focus and confirmation of the Party leader's claims are hardly possible to find. "Rikskommentariatet" that dominates discussion programs on radio and television, interested, unfortunately all too rare for what is happening elsewhere than in the capital's political environment, financial, cultural, government administration or the royal family. It helps to go public debate a invvsnevret perspective. It is based on a reality that often does not match with what people outside Olslo experience in their everyday lives. After the State Council power initiative is finally known, she is met by the Oslo politicians with all the studs out. It is easy to skjlnne that they can feel provoked boat and stigmatized by Navarsete initiative. Though she emphasizes that she is not opposed Oslo.

Falls on its own absurdity
As traffic managers in Brevik go out with the message that it was not their responsibility to warn the "Full City" - the crew, you can just say that the claim falls on its own absurdity. It was them who ordered the captain to anchor on which he did. There are those who know the bad conditions that it is to anchor right there, they are the best of all should know the weather conditions both before and after anchoring. And not least, it is their interest not to get messy to the beaches of bunker oil. To order a captain who has never been in space before and not known to the poor anchorage conditions, which does not know the local weather conditions and say that there was no traffic control center's responsibility, is a direct Disclaimer. I hope the trial will show that it is not possible to be so irresponsible.


World Cup Telemark skiing in Tråstølen
The course includes both jumps and reipeløkkje. Two rounds were led through a good mood, type Voss Telemarklag in a press release. They write further that the event had a pass informal style and with a very manual timing, and without gatekeepers mood was as it should be in an Easter Cup. Race was discontinued in Tråstølen.Vossameisteren in Women's Junior was Tuva Heide Nedkvitne, while Marit Norheim Olde water ladies senior. Master of the gentlemen were senior Tor Inge Hopsdal. There were no participants in the junior lords. A total of 26 participants ran for start.Voss telemarklag has a number of years a doctor dead. But in the last few eldsjeler wished that it had to breathe new life into telemark team. That was the old tradition to arrange Voss championship in telemark Wednesday before Thursday's taken up again last year. It was common before that we dismantled race Wednesday before Maundy Thursday, says board member Voss telemarklag, Ståle Bjørgo. He is happy that Telemark team is finally on its feet again and looking forward to more exciting years ahead for

Well, yeah.
The problem is that the last text is written in "Nynorsk", which is what we hillbilly people in Norway talk.

5 hours for one assignment?? holy shit!
most of mine are finished within 1 hour to an extremely high standard that gets me an A, without even trying O_O

good night ^_^

[Vanessa]

Latest update April 21(CET 12:35): There is little change in the situation at this time. We are looking in to opening temporary hardware, but for that we do need extra funds. If you can help out. do.

We'll have to wait a lot longer I guess  
EDIT: an "a" to much

As far as I am concerned, no hackers were involved in this situation.

Mario, do you have an explanation for this? I really wonder how he managed to crash Paruni too.

[Jack_Nelson]

Welcome readers, and we have to updat you on downtime on the alpha and Beth Servers at the moment. Both servers are down due to a problem in the Datacenter. We are working on the problem to bring all back, and hope to do so shortly.
