    Also wait wait. Why does nobody like wizard’s den anymore? It still seems active. Or has everyone gone to like…a new Space Station 15??

      Most people have moved to forks like starlight and goob. Wizden is plagued with mis management and poor design. They ignored critical security problems (allows people to bypass bans without making a new account, nothing bad for players, just admins) despite the pleas of admins, there is no clear design so you are supposed to just know what features would be considered bloat as a contributor and it also means you end up with entire reworks of departments being done by one person over several years. Wizden is poorly balanced, not because anything is overpowered but because everything is underpowered. The most recent example Is Liltenhead’s videos on explosives. The results were… predictable. Maintainers rushed to fix the mechanic, despite nothing being broken. It will be over used for a week and then return to obscurity. This happens every time Liltenhead makes a video on overpowered but niche mechanics and it means that every round ends up being the same because the niche mechanics are removed. The biggest problem people have is that the owners are power tripping. It’s too much to explain but it has gotten very bad. This all led to most of the head admins retiring from wizden.

        So uh. Where should I be playing if I don’t want to go back to 13, and also never got into the marine stuff?
