Mibbit blocked in parts of DaeZig

WebIRC service Mibbit has been autokilled by Sinsira’s IRC servers as the result of an ongoing scandal in which Mibbit has been accused of spying on its users, stealing credit card information and stockpiling account passwords.

The present scandal follows on the heels of previous accusations against Mibbit which have resulted in at least one other block and potentially more throughout IRC.

Mibbit has been repeatedly urged by at least one IRC service developer to present its service’s code for examination by the broader IRC community.

Meanwhile, DaeZig Overseer Lord Kabaka has stated that he believes Mibbit will suffer disaster as a result of the present scandal. “This is going to kill Mibbit,” said Kabaka publicly in the main IRC channel of Sinsira.

Lord Vamont offers reconciliation to former Entropia, apologizes for drug comment

Calling Entropia a failed colonization effort, Lord Vamont has stated that DaeZig bears no grudge against the community that was once Entropia. “Entropia was… a failed attempt at colonization which did not have the support of the colonized people or the DaeZig administration for that matter. Therefore, we can not possibly blame them for the friction,” he said.

Vamont continued: “As for Lord Xnite himself, the feeling is the same. It was not his fault that things went sour. [...] We hold nothing against Lord Xnite, and I apologize for (apparently) having called the man a drug addict. [Lord Xnite] not a drug addict today, it seems, and he is still considered a personal friend by Lord Maleificus.”

“We are willing to negotiate, 1-1, an end to the hostility between DaeZig and the former administrator of Entropia.” finished Vamont.

DaeZig launches “The week of August 1st”

To alleviate the organizational deficiencies often suffered by the August 1st holiday celebrations, DaeZig will be redesigning its August 1st tradition.

For years, August 1st has been marred by poor coordination of government and military personnel responsible for celebrations, namely the people organizing the Black Army bot displays which the holiday is known for. “It’s a tradition, but the organizational problems are immense. It’s impossible to have everyone on and paying attention at the same time, and it’s really sad when you pause what you are doing to watch the thing only to have insert random individual be five minutes late,” remarked the official responsible for coordinating this year’s bot displays.

“It is a lot easier to stretch the celebrations out over a week, instead of trying to cram them into one day,” he said. “I’ve always felt tense on August 1st,” he added.

The new plan will stretch the displays and other celebrations out over the course of one week starting on August 1st and abandon all but basic scheduling elements. This will take the pressure off of all parties involved and make August 1st more enjoyable, opening the door to greater festivities in the future.

On the subject of the date, Voice of DaeZig would like to remind everyone in advance that this post was made on August 1st, 2011. Time zone differences may at times cause an article to appear as being posted a day later than it was actually posted.
