Good evening, everybody! I hope you're doing well! Lot of stuff going on in the fandom, not much going on with Infold. Wish it was the opposite.

Evening Report 7/16/2026

First and foremost, clearing up some misinformation. The post with the banner of all 6 LIs was never removed from TikTok. I've been checking all of their socials for the past 17 days straight. I have a screenshot from the 9th with the post still up. It's been there since its original post date.

Communication From Infold

Apparently, Infold posted on one of their Facebook pages (Taiwan, I believe). At this time of this report, this comment was posted 17 hours ago (7:30PM CDT).

This is speculation, but I feel like this supports our theory of Infold being under a 30-day gag order (self-imposed or not). Given they haven't posted any announcements for the game itself, it seems like there are some restrictions on what they can and can't say.

I don't want to put a deadline on our protest, but it seems like the 29th is our next milestone. I know we're sick and tired of this already, but we need to hold on for a little while longer.

I've suggested this before, but have some fun with it. Post memes with the hashtags, post silly little videos, interact with other people—make it enjoyable rather than a chore. Don't let it be something you dread, because that only makes it more tiring.

The CN servers should be resetting soon, so I'm on the lookout for updates. If I see anything worth mentioning, you'll be the first to know! Sending love <3

CN Media

As we discussed earlier, several positive articles were posted in China—most notably by state media (NDRC). While it's amazing that they recognized our movement, petitions, and donations, there is something even more important that they mentioned: the importance of the international market.

China has long been a isolationist country—they fall behind Japan and South Korea when it comes to being part of the global economy. They focus on their domestic market far more than the international one. Because of this article, the way China views and treats the international market could very well change forever.

The article acknowledges that we account for nearly 50% of Infold's revenue, and it emphasizes the importance of maintaining that. We brought that to their attention. People from all over the world banded together around a common goal, and China noticed.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

Basically, the decision rests entirely on Infold now. Valko is quite literally the first character to have government backing. That's crazy.

But, this article gave something vital to this protest. Well, several things, really.

Hope. This gave our community the push it needed to reignite.

Attention. We've been noticed, and we're still being watched.

Recognition. Our hard work—signing petitions, donating to various causes, banding together on social media—has finally been recognized.

Beyond that, it's given us—and Infold—a path forward. Here's something on Reddit that I found that I want to discuss:

Several things to point out here:

It gives Infold the green light to move forward, as the government has found no issues with their work.

It clears Valko's name. It helps to dispel the rumors and misinformation that were spreading since his announcement.

It makes the smear campaign articles—for all intents and purposes—illegal. Not only are they perpetuating blatantly false information, but they're also directly contradicting the state media. That's not a wise decision in China.

Now, how Infold decides to move forward is still a mystery to us. I imagine they're likely neck-deep in a legal battle, but we don't have any way to know what's truly going on behind the scenes. We can only hope that they hear us, and that they make the right decision: to listen.

Going Forward

Don't get me wrong, today was a massive win for us. But this is far from the finish line.

Think of the situation as a war. Everything we have done so far was simply us breaking into the walls of the city. Now that we're in, we have to lay siege to it. The fight doesn't stop here.

Keep posting, keep protesting, keep signing the petitions. We have to be as loud as we can. We've been noticed, and we're actively being watched. Now is the time for us to truly make our voices heard.

Antis are still working against us, but there's very little they can do to combat their own government. It's not even wise to try, but they're going to. Don't get discouraged, don't get distracted, and keep pushing.

I love you, take care of yourselves, and I hope to bring you more good news soon <3

Ahhhhhh, I said it on twitter, but I’ll say it here tooo.

But, I really wanted to see Valko’s myth and him and MC watching the sunset ☀️ as “enemies”. Like that paralleling when they are able to stargaze ⭐️ comfortably together…😭😭😭 I want to see it so bad

Like I need to see if this is an enemies to lovers thing and then becoming close being just the type of playfulness you can only get when you are so close to someone. There’s more to it probably of course, with MC’s scent and all, but that aspect is what gets me…🥺🥺🥺 AHHHHHHHH

Good evening, friends! I hope you're all doing well. It's been a long fourteen days hasn't it?

So, let's take a second. Unclench your jaw, drop your shoulders, take a deep breath. Everything's going to be okay.

Now then, let's get into some numbers 😈 All CN data provided by CN fans, all global data provided by some deep Google searches.

Evening Report 7/13/2026

Considering we've been talking a lot about Inflop's revenue the past few days, I figured I'd run some numbers based on the information I have. Obviously, I can't give an exact estimate, but I think we can make an educated guess.

Let's say, hypothetically, that Inflop makes the horrible decision to release Raf's 4th myth on the 17th. In my humble opinion, I think that's one of the worst things they could do right now, but that's beside the point.

First and foremost, we need to look at global and CN revenue currently.

On the left, we have the main global market—the US, Japan, and South Korea. Revenue is down by 32.4%. Probably more, at this point.

On the right, we have CN revenue. If my calculations are correct, revenue currently sits at a whopping 66.7% decrease. (Average revenue [yellow line] is 300,000. It currently sits at 100,000, give or take.)

Now, let's look at previous myth revenue. I don't have exact numbers, so these are rough estimates.

Using the midpoint of each estimate:

Now, let me state for the record, the July 2nd-8th GoA banner is definitely way off. CN revenue for that week sits at $767,627. I can guarantee the global market didn't account for over 8 million. We're maybe looking at $1-2 million for that week—maximum. The calculation itself isn't that important, so we'll leave it for now.

Generally, we're looking at about a 70% decrease in revenue for each rerun. This isn't at all surprising when we look at these numbers:

I'll briefly explain so that you don't have to destroy your eyes looking at that.

Across each listed month, the CN market has seen a decrease in revenue—the lowest being 6%, the highest being 48%. The global market hasn't been quite as bad, but revenue is still dropping.

Now, based on my research, revenue has been over $30 million for each month in 2026 thus far. Except, of course, for July. We're halfway through the month, and the CN market (which makes up for about 50% of their revenue) has only provided $2 million. Let's say the global market matched that—or even doubled it. They're still sitting below $10 million.

Even if the new Raf myth performed well, it wouldn't be enough to help them to bounce back entirely.

But, let's be realistic. On average, myth banners make around $45 million on their first run. Abyssal Sovereign was an outlier at $67 million, so I'm leaving it out of the calculation for accuracy's sake.

At MOST, Raf's fourth myth could make $24.8 million. I'll explain my calculations. If the CN market is down 60%, the global market is down 30%, and the average myth makes $45 million on its first run, we're looking at a 45% decrease in revenue.

This is assuming, of course, that the boycott remains stable.

Now, if the myth did manage to make $25 million, it would be the lowest grossing myth to date. Lumiere currently holds that title at around $30 million, simply because it was released so early on in the game.

So, what am I trying to say with all of this?

Well, basically, Inflop is cooked if they release that myth. It's not going to save their revenue, even if it performs better than expected. And, honestly, I think I'm being fairly generous with my calculations.

I'm not taking into account the number of whales that are boycotting, nor the outrage at a myth being released now, nor how broke active players are from dealing with a multi-banner, a myth rerun, and another multi-banner.

Simply put, if Inflop does decide to release that myth, I don't think anyone needs to worry very much. Keep boycotting, keep protesting, and let them come to their own conclusions. I'm sure they're already looking at their stocks and crying.

Yeah...yikes. I'll drop off some more information here in a little while. I'm going to be watching X like a hawk for the next few hours to see if Inflop dares to post. Usually, they announce new banners 3-4 days before they release, so I'm ready and waiting.

[cairoblair]

You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize that having Rafayel’s myth banner next is a terrible idea.I mean, releasing Rafayel's myth banner in this current climate will link him forever to the worst event in the game's history. They shouldn’t do that; no one wants that to happen to their favorite character.

Let’s break down the player base right now: One group joined the boycott. Another group doesn't main Rafayel, so they naturally skipped it. The last group didn't participate in the protest and just played as usual.The revenue Rafayel is likely to generate during this period won’t even come close to covering the losses—there are just too many of them! Canceling Valko, pulling out of Bilibili World, processing refunds, lawyer fees, managing another game, ongoing advertisement costs, and player attrition...Even with all the love in the world, and even if Rafayel is there, the Rafayel Girlies won’t be able to single-handedly save this business.

What they need to do is delay things by running banner reruns to capitalize on the largest player margin possible. It’s the only way for them to hold on.And they certainly shouldn’t count on revenue from Infinity Nikki either, especially since future updates could be riddled with bugs. It’s highly likely that part of the competitor’s strategy is to make everything costly for Infold across the board.

Everything they can do has already been slowed down and delayed with reruns. I

n the best-case scenario, they should just released Valko ! Though I think it might be a bit too early—it all depends on what's happening behind the scenes at their headquarters.

If they manage to stall and eventually release Valko at the players' request, spicy multi-banner , and the one after that could be Rafayel’s. That would generate massive revenue despite the loss of confidence.

This would be the road to victory because they could quickly make up for what they lost during this intensive financial drought.

For me, the only good scenario is to hold off on releasing Rafayel, need to buy time, path to victory, and make a comeback!

I actually thought about this during my long drive home today. I agree, Anon!

Logically speaking, releasing Rafayel's myth right now is a terrible idea. It will only frustrate players even more, especially considering they've done nothing to fix the bugs in 6.0. I don't even need to mention the boycott—we know how big of a deal that is.

But, as we know, Infold doesn't have the best decision makers. This isn't the first time they've had players boycott a game because of their mistakes.

Now, we don't have full confirmation that Rafayel's 4th myth is coming on the 17th. Our speculation comes from the 3rd section of Infold's yucky ass cancellation announcement. I only get more pissed the more I look at it, but anyway.

Key word: revealed. Not necessarily released. But, Caleb's 4th myth was announced on March 24th, then released on March 28th. At this point, the two words are synonymous.

I think Infold has two realistic options: risk running the new myth, or do another rerun to buy them some time. I don't think it's realistic to say that Valko will return on the 17th—that's only five days away, and we haven't heard a peep from them. Plus, the media hasn't completely shifted in their favor yet. YET. The CN girls are working on it.

In my personal opinion, I think the rerun is the better choice. If they're still trying to get on the good side of the CN state media, I would suggest Master of Fate. The rerun schedule is already fucked, so why not just fuck it up some more?

Hypothetically, let's say they risk dropping Rafayel's 4th myth. Like you said, we have three groups: those boycotting, non-Rafayel mains, and those still actively playing and spending. Boycotters are obviously not going to spend on it, non-Rafayel mains might, and Rafayel mains (that aren't boycotting) are not enough to get their revenue back to normal. In conclusion, it's a horrible idea.

Besides, based on what I've seen, I'd venture to guess that half of the Rafayel mains are boycotting. Infold cancelled Raf's foil, after all. They're actively destroying part of his story.

So, you've got maybe 30% of the player base that is willing to spend on this banner. Those numbers aren't looking good. Plus, they're only going to dig themselves a deeper hole if they don't address the Valko situation first.

Side note: Assuming they're legally able to post, they've still chosen not to. They know that posting anything other than an official statement will only result in more backlash. If their next post isn't "Valko is back," I genuinely fear for our sanity. And their company.

To sum up, I really hope the execs at Infold see the situation for what it is. Dropping Raf's new myth on the 17th is simply not a good business decision. It's not going to perform well—especially compared to the other myths—and it's only going to feed the fire. Fingers crossed for a better outcome.

Disney is doing crazy things in the japanese mobile game sphere rn

[mochlus]

you may be familiar with disney twisted wonderland, the gacha game in which various disney villains are used as direct inspiration for handsome anime boys. well that game was so successful that disney is trying to do it again but this time they're just animeboyifying whatever

here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you

They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,

Yeah it's her. they made an anime boy version of the mean receptionist slug. her name is roz btw, as all of boygachagame twitter has become extremely aware of in the past 3 days as we speculated prior to the release of the full image who tf the third guy was. the anime boy's name is "noah slugger". at this point no parody of the types of things gacha games will make gijinkas of will ever be able to live up to what disney is officially spending their own real money on designing

AWOOOOOO good evening everyone! I actually come bearing good news!!

This report is coming a little early today, but I will still be monitoring X and Tumblr from my phone for the next few hours. If I find anything important, I'll share it with you!

Current protest guide here.

6.0 Report 7/11/2026 PM

The Protest

We are trending on X once again—in several ways! Inflop is killing me.

Inflop's revenue is looking....yikes.

Let me explain a little bit. Those spikes are usually new banners, multi-banners, or new solo banners. For example, that big spike between April and May was Lingering Lust. Now, you can see a little bit of a pattern—big spike, drop, little spike, drop, repeat. But, after this previous multi-banner, we didn't get another spike. Instead, it has completely stagnated below their average revenue (yellow dotted line). THIS IS GOOD. This is what we want. We need to keep this going.

This is the global revenue data.

Basically, their revenue is down 32.4% globally. To any financial advisor, this would be a red alert kind of moment. Keep it going, friends!

The CN Media

Buckle up.

The RedNote video that I mentioned earlier (this one) is up to almost 20,000 comments. Reminder that this video was posted to help clear the air about Valko and dispel the rumors that are being spread in the media. The vast majority are positive! Here are several posts with screenshots of the comments:

Now, the media is trying to combat this—more rumors and misinformation are being spread, but people are waking up. Weibo is being censored simply because the comments on these articles are trying to disprove them.

I need y'all to understand how amazing this is. In China, fighting against the media is terrifying. It is almost social suicide. Our CN sisters are being so extremely brave by speaking up.

This isn't just hopium, this is genuine hope. More and more people are realizing that they were led astray by the media, and they're joining our cause. Instead of the snowball effect working against us, it's now rolling in our favor.

More 6.0 Bugs

Now, I bring you some humor to brighten your day. Y'all...6.0 is so bad.

I'll be back later to give you another brief update before the night's over! As always, feel free to send me any links that you think are helpful. Keep posting, keep fighting, and keep leading with love! <3

Gooooood morning everybody! Welcome to day 12 (omg). Little bit of a different report for you today.

Here's the thing: there's too much speculation going on. CN players said this, an insider sent me this, so on and so forth. People are fearmongering, spreading rumors that can't be verified, and generally hurting morale.

The fact of the matter is that we have NO idea what's happening behind the scenes. Like I've said before, without an official statement from Infold, we can't be 100% sure about what's going on. With that being said, the best thing we can do is keep fighting.

6.0 Report 7/11/2026 AM

Protesting

Keep posting! We've been trending for TWELVE DAYS STRAIGHT. Do y'all understand how insane that is?? I've never seen that happen before.

Use these hashtags: #Valko #WeLoveValko #ValkoIsLoved #JusticeForValko #恋与深空 #敖尹 #LoveAndDeepspace #LADS #BringValkoBack #SaveValko #BringBackValko #LADSValkoReturn #ValkoMustDebut #ValkoIsInnocent

DO NOT LOG IN. Affecting their DAU metric is still a priority.

DO NOT SPEND. If you are logging in, please refrain from spending any money in the game. Infold is a business—money is the only language they speak fluently. If we want to get their attention, we have to hit them where it hurts. They are a multi-million dollar company—a few weeks of low revenue is not going to sink them.

Like I said last night, we're probably looking at getting Rafayel's 4th myth on July 17th. Let me explain why this is such an important turning point for us: — Rafayel is the face of the game. He has always been Infold's money-maker. If his myth doesn't perform, they will know how dire the situation is. — I'm on my knees begging you not to spend any money on the banner. If you have wishes and want to pull on it, that's your decision. But the fewer people that spend, the better. — If you are going to spend money, I ask you to wait at least three days before doing so. We need them to panic. Let them sit in the uncertainty. — Bottom line, we need this myth to underperform. Myth banners are their big money-makers. If they see this one flopping, they'll know exactly where we stand. — Banners ALWAYS rerun. This is not your only chance to get these cards. I urge you to wait for the rerun so that we can reach our goal.

Support the CN girls on RedNote and Weibo! They are still fighting with us. If you have a RN account, please go support this linked post. The user is helping to quell the rumors surrounding Valko.

REMINDER: do not interact with negative or malicious comments, do not mention the CN media or government, and only spread positivity. We have to be a lot more careful on CN media.

My Strategy

Listen, I'm about sick and tired of the negativity on my timeline. I'm tired of the rumors and the speculation and the misinformation. It's not helping anyone.

So, I'm going to resort to posting memes with the hashtags. I'm posting headcanons and wolf facts and hot pictures of Valko with the hashtags. Because, you know what? It still counts.

I encourage you to have fun with this. I know the situation is stressful, but there's very little we can do to change the current circumstances. Bring some positivity to the timeline. You'll be a lot less likely to burn out if you find a way to have some fun.

I will still be bringing you any verifiable information I can find, though it is few and far between. Stay vigilant, and do not believe everything you see.

Hopium/Copium

I'm TELLING Y'ALL, I think the devs are communicating with us. This is way too coincidental. Here's my post from last night about this.

Keep fighting, my friends! We knew this wasn't going to be a short battle. Take breaks when you need them and take care of yourselves <3

Lawd what in the world happened on X during my drive...

Let me start by saying that there is a lot of mixed information floating around. It's very difficult to determine what is legitimate, I won't lie to you. People have differing opinions, there is a TON of conflicting information, and far too much speculation.

You all know by now that I want to avoid giving you any kind of misinformation. I do my fair share of speculating, but I don't want to lead you astray. So, with that being said, let's see what's going on.

7/10/2026 PM

The Current Protest

As you all know, we've pivoted to challenging the false information in the CN media. However, we seem to be shifting once again. Players have generally agreed that #ValkoWasFramed insinuates that we are challenging or placing blame—which we want to avoid for the sake of not causing any controversy. Now, we want to avoid directly confronting Chinese media.

I know the constant changes are frustrating. I'm trying to keep up with everything too. So, here's everything I know:

We are focusing on promoting how much we love Valko. Here are the new set of hashtags: #Valko #WeLoveValko #ValkoIsLoved #JusticeForValko #恋与深空 #敖尹 #LoveAndDeepspace #LADS #BringValkoBack #SaveValko #BringBackValko #LADSValkoReturn #ValkoMustDebut #ValkoIsInnocent

I think this post in particular explains it well:

This is also a very important post that I would like for all of you (especially my fellow Americans) to read.

This is a post from a Chinese user that I read through and found quite interesting. I think it's well worth the read.

Looking Forward

SPECULATION: I'm going to be frank with you—we're probably looking at getting Rafayel's 4th myth on July 17th. Infold is likely desperate to see a jump in revenue. Here's how the revenue chart is looking:

Basically, not good. This is only over the span of a month.

Once again, I'm going to be honest with you—if we want Valko back, we have to hit Infold where it hurts: revenue. That means absolutely no spending. As a myth collector, this is extremely frustrating to me, so believe me when I say that I understand how many of you feel.

However, you can absolutely choose for yourself. If you want to pull for it, don't let anyone shame you into feeling guilty.

But this post explains it well. "If spending spikes back to normal, headlines will write 'the boycott collapsed' and our leverage evaporates exactly when the company is deciding how much our waiting matters." This boycott does not have a deadline. It ends when we get Valko back.

Remember, banners always rerun. There will always be another chance to get it. I'm okay with missing out if it means making this protest stronger.

I very much encourage you to continue boycotting. Money is the universal language. Personally, I will not be touching the game until Infold releases an official statement.

Remember

Question everything, believe nothing. I am BEGGING all of you to use your common sense and critical thinking skills. I don't care if someone says they have "insider information" or they spoke to a CN player or whatever the hell. Unless they come with concrete, verifiable proof, keep scrolling.

Our end goal, no matter how we go about it, is the same: getting Valko back. Keep posting, keep talking, keep being loud. Make your voices heard.

Once again, the universal language is money. Even logging in puts money in Infold's pocket. Boycotting is ultimately your decision, but I ask you to think long term.

Hopium

You know I'm never going to leave you without some hopium. :)

Valko's code is HAUNTING 6.0. From Caleb having his nose to Sylus sniffing furniture (posts linked). I've seen all I need to see from this version update, quite honestly. Limbs flying everywhere, heads are either huge or missing, eyes are popping out of their sockets—this is what happens when you don't release the tech guy.

I fear hopium is hard to come by these days on X. I'm doing my absolute best to find some for you all. Since I can't offer very much today, take these links of edits, fanart, and pictures of Valko. Remember who we're fighting for!!

Okay, there's a lot going on. Let's take a breath (again). As always, I'm here to give you facts, my own speculations, and HOPIUM!

Quick note: this weekend I'll be dealing with some personal matters, so I may not be as active as I have been this past week. I will still be giving you any important or relevant information, but I may not be able to post my full reports. I am still very much here with you!

The Chinese Media

Like I told you last night, our protest tactic has changed. Here are all the details that I am confident in sharing:

Multiple Chinese media outlets falsely portrayed Valko as a predator who broke into MC's house and assaulted her. They are painting him as dangerous. Our TOP priority is proving that this is entirely incorrect. This post explains it very well.

Here is our strategy: 1. STAY ON US MEDIA. X, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube—anywhere you can post! But DO NOT get on RedNote or Weibo. Leave the CN apps to the CN girls—they will support us however they can. 2. Refrain from contacting any major news outlets. This could escalate tensions and encourage the CCP to get involved. STAY ON SOCIAL MEDIA! 3. Set aside your hate for—or disappointment in—Infold for now. Antis are going to use whatever they can against us. If they see us attacking Infold, this entire thing could backfire. 4. We need to focus on two narratives: Valko is innocent, kind, and not at all dangerous to MC or the players; and that Infold helps to positively showcase Chinese culture to global players. LADS is vital to China's global initiatives because of the international player base. 5. Remain KIND, RESPECTFUL, and PEACEFUL. This is not the time to attack antis, the CN media, or Infold. Our goal is to show that Valko is a symbol of love.

So, what do we post? Proof that the media gave false information. They clipped parts of his trailer and altered them to push their agenda. Post the full clips so that they cannot be misconstrued. Here are some links to good examples: - This post. - This post. - This post. - This post. - This post. - This post. - This post. Here are the hashtags to post under: #VALKOWASFRAMED #VALKOISINNOCENT #BRINGBACKVALKO #BRINGVALKOBACK If you don't have the resources to make any videos or edit any pictures, then I suggest reposting from others' profiles and adding the above hashtags. We need to be as loud as we can, and we need to work together.

Here is a general code of conduct:

What do we do about the game? This part is debated. Some believe we should be logging in and raising ratings, others believe we should continue protesting. Here are my two cents: I think we're fine where we are. The game still exists, they are still making money, and the bottom line of the situation hasn't changed. If you are not boycotting, that's okay. If you are, that's okay too. Our goal is to show that LADS is a positive game that should continue operating, but that we demand to have Valko's character released. I understand how confusing this can be. Trust that Infold is handling the situation on their end, and we will continue fighting as we have been for the past week and a half. Personally, I will still not be logging into the game. I am not going to touch the ratings, nor am I going to follow LADS on social media again, but I am going to post in support of them.

How are things going? I'm happy to report that things are going well thus far! Some of the articles have already been taken down, and we have been trending on X since last night. We ARE being noticed. CN girls are communicating amongst themselves and doing what they can to ensure our message is being heard. Remember, they have to handle the situation very delicately.

Hopium?

Always!! THIS IS NOT THE END. Remember that "rectification" was a big talking point a few days ago—NOT removal. The door for Valko is still very much open. We're most definitely looking at a delay at this point, but don't let this bring you down. If anything, let it give you hope!

Infold's silence makes MUCH more sense now. They're not purposefully ignoring us—we know this for certain. They're facing some absolute bullshit. I can't say I blame them for the way they've handled this, honestly.

Let's go back to the timeline for a moment. June 22nd, Valko is announced. For SIX DAYS, Antis spewed nothing but hatred. Infold endured, and even defended Valko. They issued a statement saying that they would continue pursuing a 6th LI. Then, the media gets involved. Slander, false articles, horrible press. THIS is when Infold folded and cancelled Valko's release. It wasn't because they wanted to—what choice did they have? They were fighting a war on multiple fronts—and still are!

I said it once and I'll say it again—Infold would NOT throw away a character they spent two years developing. He is vital to the storyline. The devs poured hours of labor into him. They love him, as anyone loves something they create. As a writer, I can't imagine someone spreading such hateful things about my characters or one of my books. It had to be devastating to them.

The tide is shifting. This is our chance to make our voices be heard. Be loud! I'm about to abuse the FUCK out of my first amendment rights.

For my spiritual friends: THE CARDS ARE MAKING SENSE. Many were talking about an outside/higher influence acting as an obstacle, which would cause this struggle to be much more drawn out. The energy is still in our favor, we simply have to push through the mud. There is light at the end of the tunnel! It's just a really fucking annoying tunnel!!

My Thoughts

It's truly amazing to me how all of this has unfolded. Everything last week really was just the tip of the iceberg...and the smear campaign rumors turned out to be true. Now, let me say this: if we go through all this bullshit and Infold doesn't properly compensate us, I'm literally going to Shanghai myself. I didn't sign up to be their PR manager, but here we are.

At the end of the day, I owe a lot to this game. It helped me out of some dark times. It helped me realize my own self worth after escaping a horribly toxic relationship. It raised my standards so much that they're virtually impossible to reach.

I know none of this has turned out the way we wanted it to, but when does life ever go according to plan? We've come together as a community, we've raised thousands for charity, and we've shown just how far we are willing to go to protect the things we love. This is not the end of Valko's story—it is only the beginning.
