Frog

Negaslime
After slime returned to NLACakaNM, Frog was one of the people who took on the Negaslime, the monolithic buzkill Cthulu bitch guy that gave him the humiliating moniker of Borndead. He was the one to get the last hit, so he got all the credit.

Botting
After his serious reputation boost, Frog proceeded to develop minebots using Discord self-botting nanotechnology, basically turning him into Metal Gear Solid 4. Like MGS4, the bots backfired on their users, and Frog bit the bullet a bunch of different times when he was autopilot. Not only that, the people still perceived bots as being unfair, despite that not being the case at all, so his reputation went down the shitter.

This continued to mixed reception throughout the Killer's reign. Once the patch hit, though, bots were way more advantageous to use due to Rowdy superiority, and Frog quickly became the #1 slime count on the server. This is when shit hit the fan. People started to realize he was using an auto-responding killbot and he got teamkilled by Robodobot on principle. Then, Sixten wrote a diss track against him, and he hasn't been particularly active since.

Botting(and cheating in general) continued even all the way to Season 3. On July 10, 2019, he was "arrested" for the use of bots. He was released on July 14, and continues to this day.

Slime Times Article
A world as grey as stone, as dry as salt, as decayed as ninety-year-old cheap quality newsprint paper; these were the dead times, the origin of the borndeads, the interim. Things were amiss however one day when Munchy, at the time the least active person in the all of RFCK began to yell about hope, determination, and mining, with that it was clear, season two was returning, not just the ability to mine, but the fact that the ground would shake occasionally made it absolutely clear that something was down there… Flash forward a week, the mining now carried on only by botters as the fact people were botting was enough to drain any enthusiasm that might have been boosted by the Lord Mayor of Ghosts *accidentally* dropping the fact that the objective in the mines was in fact to obtain an endless rock; however, the determination of the people would soon spike as Munchy, still one of the least active people in RFCK at this point joined the public voice channel, soon followed by Ben and practically every other active member of the server for what Munchy said would be a “Totally uneventful and dry boring day.”

We now follow the subject of this article, a simple frog named Frog, a borndead who some called the frog that Goku threw in DBZ, while other called the frog from Sonic Adventure. With a strike of his pick this player found the goal of the mining portion of the revival, he found the endless rock… However… He was currently on his phone, running home from school while trying to leave the mines as everyone is screaming for him to go downtown to revive Endless War with the rock… While it would be funny if the truth was that he was indeed retarded, there was more at play, as when the rock was retrieved from the ground, Endless War began to address those who were still mining to inform them that they can stop… They weren’t there to hear these messages, and thus, the mines began to suffer lag, barring Frog from leaving. Munchy being frustrated began to spin a fictional yarn, saying how we would all ignore this event as a normal anonymous juvie definitely found the endless rock, left the mines immediately, awoke Endless War soon after, and nothing broken happened due to Krak not being there to fix it properly. Before this blackfacing of history could be achieved, others began to realize the issue as well, bringing valuable Ethos to Frog’s claims which lead to correcting actions to be delivered in the form of temporary kickings to anyone still botting in the mines. It still took a while for the mines to calm down and Endless War to recover from being mine-fucked, but once clear Frog dashed with super-powered speed out of the mines, the movement mechanics broken to such a degree that anyone alive had the ability to dash from one side of the map to another in a matter of seconds. The rock presented, and the obelisk awakened, the Negaslime raid had begun. The raid involved dodging large telegraphed swipes from the tendrils by moving to a different zone, but to attack it you had to mine slime, then enlist; Frog enlisted with the Rowdies, giving him the ability to attack the Negaslime… He was the one who delivered the finishing blow… With that the LoG tried to tell everyone to kill themselves, only to find out that KFC in order to sell off their disgusting coleslaw, infused it with anti-ghost properties, with this the people began to call for impeachment via busting, and despite hiding in the Rowdy Rough House and Cop Kill Town, it was his third hiding place Slimecorp HQ that was his downfall as he was cornered, and as illustrated in a Loss comic, Frog yet again was the one, he was the one to bust the LoG, and signal the beginning of Season 2 of Endless War.

Frog continued to be a relevant player with plenty of hype around him for the next couple days, his slime count being one of the highest of the Rowdies due to him being such an active player; of course, this was before the dominance of Evange_ with his four to seven million slime. Frog didn’t survive and was cast down to the sewers, his renown and prestige shattered as he was now like every other Rowdy, defenseless, and painfully average…

This is where I will be unpacking the stories I’ve received from multiple sources to find out why someone who had obtained the temporary title of MVP of Season 2 would then turn into what many consider to be either a villain or corrupted youth who’s actions many find deplorable. These actions relate to botting, and while there has always been a negative tone towards botting in the past, Frog was the one to take botting to such an extreme that he could have potentially ruined the entire game, he had toiled and eventually made a bot that could mine, get food for itself, track enemy player positions (this ability was a suggestion from another Rowdy as well as being a basis for a failed experiment in integrating it with a google sheet), invest slime into slimecoin at various intervals, and lastly and the most important feature, kill those who attempted to kill it. I spoke to a fellow Rowdy Matthew to discover the origins of this bot and this botting behavior as I was under the impression the bot had begun there at the time as he, Levy, and Frog attempted to sell a Slimecorp themed mining bot to the masses for large sums of slimecoin, this venture however failed due to those bots being very primitive as well as other issues related to the want of making a login component to the bot via a Windows executable file; in this scheme, Matthew was in charge of selling the bot, Frog programming it, and Levy creating promotional art. Matthew mentioned this being Frog’s first foray into coding, though I later found out that it was not, but rather the process of working with bots was his first foray into working with Python and the Discord API, I also found out that Frog had been experimenting with bots before this one and then after this affair he went onto craft bots for himself.

At first Frog’s experiments in botting weren’t really a major issue, there were some paths that it could take that would minimize the chances of being killed, but once discovered it was an easy target that many took advantage of which slowly began to degrade Frog’s reputation, turning the once proud hero of Season 2 into an embarrassment to the Rowdies in the sense that he was just being killed over and over again with his bot, dying in mining accidents as well as to other players. This changed when Krak typed !kill @frog in a channel outside of the map which revealed a new addition to the bot when frog immediately responded with five !kill messages of their own as well as a movement message. This put a lot of heat on Frog and it seemed like he removed that feature from the bot as it no longer responded to those sorts of kill messages; however, one day while in a voice call, people were talking about Frog as it seemed he was afk in a vulnerable area and that Magicks was trying to kill him, failing to do so due to being too small and succumbing to exhaustion. Those in the voice call talked about how terrible botting was and that Matthew should kill him as a jokey punishment and so Matthew could get some slime, at this time Frog was also on top of the leaderboards, the change to mining going into effect making his bot suddenly much more effective… Matthew was then killed by the bot which sparked confusion amongst the call and a sudden discovery that the bot was now just reading the channel it was in as Magicks was typing !kill in the graffiti wall. With some peer pressure, Robodobot was recruited to kill Frog, but the killbot sparked a massive discussion on bots that eventually lead to Munchy making a public statement condemning bots. In this discussion, Sixten elaborated that the Consorts and Munchy had been talking about botting, specifically Frog’s botting and that Munchy had sent a PM to Frog discussing the issue and that Frog responded vaguely.

I approached many for statements, some were long and used to influence this article by way of confirming the order of events and others short enough and interesting enough that I will be including them here before continuing with my final conclusion on what caused this entire mess to happen, who is responsible, and what is the original sin that sparked all of this…

Interviewing Matthew and Frog gave me some insights into Frog’s behavior, he was curious and interested in seeing how far he could push the bot. He spent large swaths of time that could’ve been spent playing the game making a bot that for the most part up until the mining buff and the defensive capabilities being included was suboptimal at best and retarded at worst. I won’t argue the validity of his claims that he purposefully went afk and that the defensive bot being left on was a test of killer intellect, but during my interviews with him and Matthew, one thing was for certain. These new players didn’t know the anti-bot sentiments on the server, the history of bots, and so on. I would argue that Frog should be allowed to play as anyone else should, the gains from botting have been removed from the board, he has made claims to no longer bot, and until he is found out to be botting again with malicious intent then he should be perceived as innocent as I believe the failure of this entire situation falls upon the community that failed to condemn botting when it mattered most, at the beginning of this story, in the mines, during the search for the Endless Rock. That moment was critical for the formation of what was viewed as acceptable for new players, and while some thought it justified in that circumstance, others took it too far, one person, in particular, circulated a simple early season 1 mining bot. Frog didn’t create his bot from nothing, rather, he used the bot passed around by Doopedy Shmoople as a learning tool and base for all future bots...

The goal of this article is not to entice people to tar and feather Doopedy, but rather to point out that actions we take as a community, big or small have an effect on people who are new. This can be as large as what happened with Frog, a mining spambot spiraled into a threat that if spread to more than one person or an army of alts could kill the game, or as small as someone being an asshole with no one giving them shit for it. This community has shown that it can self-regulate in the past, the fact that Frog isn’t banned from the server is a wonderful thing as it gives him a chance to learn from his mistakes, and perhaps start to look into using his programming knowledge for more positive applications.
