In the words of the immortal Allen Iverson. . .
“Anybody tell you that I lack patience. . . . If, If, if a DM say I lack patience, and y’all hear it, then that’s that. I mean, I might lose patience for a moment but if, if somebody say, ‘He doesn’t have patience,’ it could be one moment. Out of all the moments this year, that’s enough. . . that’s enough to get a whole lot started. I told Soulcatcher that you don’t have to give the people of Baldur's Gate a reason to think about banning me or anything like that. If you ban somebody, you ban them to make the community better. . . simple as that. I’m cool with that. I’m all about that. The people in Baldur's Gate deserve to have a winner. It’s simple as that. It goes further than that. . . .

“If I ain't patient, I ain't patient, man. If I’m hurt, I’m hurt. I mean. . . simple as that. It ain’t about that. . . I mean it’s. . . It’s not about that. . . At all. You know what I’m saying I mean. . . But it’s. . .it’s easy . . . to, to talk about. . . It’s easy to sum it up when you’re just talking about patience. We’re sitting in here, and I’m supposed to be an epic character, and we in here talking about patience. I mean, listen, we’re talking about patience, not in-game, not in-game, not in-game, we talking about patience. Not in-game. Not, not. . . Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every day like it’s my last. Not in-game, but we’re talking about patience, man. I mean, how silly is that? And we talking about patience. I know I supposed to be there. I know I’m supposed to lead by example. . . I know that. . . And I’m not.. I’m not shoving it aside, you know, like it don’t mean anything. I know it’s important, I do. I honestly do. . . But we’re talking about patience man. What are we talking about? Patience? We’re talking about patience, man. We’re talking about patience. We’re talking about patience. We ain’t talking about the game. We’re talking about patience, man. When you log on to the server, and you see me play, you see me play don’t you? You’ve seen me give everything I’ve got, right? But we’re talking about patience right now. We talking about. . .”

Oh, I'm fine. I have this little Allen Iverson on my shoulder telling me what to do.

EDIT: Also, if you can find video of his original rant, it's priceless. One of the best sports-related tantrums ever. Love that guy.

Judging on the timing of the attacks, I believe the person is originating from the East coast. Here on West coast time the server is always down when I wake up, but usually up in the evening. Leads me to believe it's in the eastern time zone.

Server is always up after around 1-2am... seems even Mr. Ddos has to sleep. Have had some awesome impromptu events around those times the last few days. The vampire mansion was insane lol.

So, I take it that the white list option didn't work?

Its my understanding something else is being worked on. I am sure our Admin will let us know when it is live.

I have a plan!
Let him think he's won.
Take the server and forums down for a few days. Don't try bringing them back up at all during that time. 4-5 days like that, might convince him that he's won and he'll stop.

The obvious flaw in this plan: 4-5 days without BG sounds like basically the worst thing ever.

I used to make jokes back in the day about creating the Countermeasure Virus. Basically chaff/flares for servers and computers: If someone tries to attack the system, it tracks the IP and sends a virus BACK that would shut down the attacker's system.

Wonder if it might be time to revisit that...

I believe they already have a new plan going into effect by the end of the weekend.

Damn I decided to randomly check out the forums and found the server right where I left it a year ago. You guys are stubborn if nothing else lol....
