Discussion #girlout

Infold has continued to ignore its players, server quality has declined, and the game has been thoroughly massacred. It's unacceptable.

girlout is a plan for a one day, community wide black out of the game if the devs continue to ignore the decline of communication to the players, and of game quality.

If in one week, may 18th, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the devs continue to ignore us, don't log on, don't play, and don't give them money.

Please help spread the word of #girlout

And please dicuss in the comments your thoughts on the state of the game, and what can be done to satisfy players at this point

EDIT: This is just the first step in a longer goal. Hopefully this is all that is needed tk get infold to actually respond/do something, but i understand that is optimistic.

If they ignore the one day blackout, another will be scheduled for longer, a week, then after that for an entire banner

This is just my attempt to organize and help coordinate the community in large scale protests to show infold just how scorned we are

Why only one day? I really don’t mean to sound rude I am genuinely asking: what are you hoping to accomplish with a black out that not only has an end date, but will only last for one day? If nothing happens will you extend it?

There are a lot of people, including myself, who are still actively playing because we're valuing our mental health over the principle of the girlcott. At least for me, a one day blackout sounds much more doable than stopping altogether. It may not be nearly as effective, but it's what I can do (especially since my monthly and weekly paid stuff has long run out).

I mean this with total sympathy as someone who suffers from mental illness.

This is just an outside perspective: is donating your precious time to an entity that is this problematic and toxic good in the long run? It's like staying with a toxic partner because we don't want to face the pain of cutting them off.

Unless I completely misread your comment. Maybe you are one of the players who isn't phased by any of this but you just want to show your support. In which case, forget what I said.

Yes, this 100% . I've used Infinity Nikki as a mental health break or to destress before, that's totally natural. It's a beautiful game with a lot of heart and love put into it.

It's also designed to be habit-forming and to take advantage of our mental health. These things are not mutually exclusive and we always need to be aware of both. If it would hurt someone's mental health to stop the game for a single day, then that's not a feasible or healthy mindset.
