With Permission from Cozmo, I am now posting about this.
I received a 1 month suspension from Marathon a couple days ago for "deliberately ruining the online experience for others, either by cheating, exploiting a game glitch, or being disruptive"
Let me make this clear. I am more than ok with this outcome. I made a mistake and did something fucked up. I'm willing to take this. No questions asked. No complaints given.
I have reached out to both Fired and Icy and done what I can do to make amends and properly apologize. It doesn't make up for what I did, but I would say I am now on neutral terms with them for the most part. If ANYONE knows how I can properly reach out to Astro, do please let me know.
In the mean time I am compiling a large list of every exploit I know exists or theorize to be possible within the game and handing it over to Bungie. It may not be much, but its my first step in making amends to Bungie.
To the greater Marathon community, I apologize for how my actions affected the perception of the game as a whole. I love Marathon a lot and the fact I gave the haters more ammunition isn't something I am proud of.
If you would like to hear more regarding this situation and my thoughts, I did an interview with @Geezaws2 that I think accurately depicts them. One of my team mates Ivan (YoItsMcNoodle) is also included in there and I fully agree with a lot of what he said. I will link the article below
This will be my last post regarding this situation outside of answering questions people ask.
For now, the road to redemption is long. See you on June 11th when I take the first step.
(P.S. Yes, I bought twitter premium just for this post. I'm not proud of this either but I didn't want this to be a giant thread instead of just one easy to read post. I'm cancelling the subscription after this post.)
Alright time to post the strat that will change how people play Outpost until bungie patches it.
FROM DR. JOHN CHUNK TO DR. JOHN MARATHON. I AM ALWAYS COOKING
random observation:
In Silksong, Team Cherry does a big effort to attach most "floating platforms" to the environment, as opposed to Hollow Knight environments which often consist of very "gamey" platforms. This touch is partly why Pharloom feels so incredibly immersive to me
