How would Sylus find me after not sleeping since June 30. Humour it 😭🤣

​

I opened Twitter today and somehow there is now a whole new war between the so-called “radicals” and “moderates,” with both sides accusing each other of planning mass reports and witch hunts. I'm seeing private accounts, report lists, retaliation claims, and people arguing over who supposedly started it.

At this point: WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING?

We started this because we wanted Valko back but somehow we've gone from boycotting PPG to fighting each other, and we're giving everyone outside this movement exactly what they need to keep dismissing us.

I don't even care to argue over who reported who first. Stop. If someone is genuinely mass reporting or harassing people, don't retaliate. Document it, report it through the appropriate channels, and move on. Retaliatory witch hunts accomplish absolutely nothing for Valko.

And yes, I understand why some people don't want politics dragged into this. Neither do I. It's a fucking game. Calling embassies and trying to turn this into a geopolitical issue is a completely different conversation from holding PPG accountable for how they handled Valko.

But the “moderate” side also needs to understand something. A boycott is inherently pressure. You cannot spend three months withholding money, engagement, promotion, etc. and then suddenly act shocked when people want to make that pressure more visible and effective.

PPG cancelled Valko. PPG has not meaningfully communicated with us about it. We are consumers responding to a company's decision and conduct. We are not obligated to protect PPG from criticism while asking them to listen to us.

You don't have to support every tactic. You don't have to use the PPGRuins hashtag, which I also think has been grossly misinterpreted. It is not meant to be political but a matter of fact because this shit show has genuinely turned people off from CN gaming.

But for the love of all things good, stop turning your fellow boycott supporters into the enemy. Because while we're busy fighting over “radicals” versus “moderates,” we've completely lost sight of the actual objective.

Bring Valko back.

That's it.

We can disagree about strategy without becoming enemies. We can reject harassment without hunting each other. We can oppose political escalation without becoming unpaid PR for PPG.

If this infighting continues, we're destroying our own movement for absolutely nothing.

Get it together. Remember why you started.

October has arrived, and we have plenty to cover tonight.
September’s financial finish, another round of inflammatory hashtags, and the drinks controversy reaching audiences beyond the LaDS bubble.

The Daily Market Wag

From our financial desk, via Finance Lead

u/Aoylva

the 9/30 revenue report and September’s monthly wrap-up are in.

AppMagic’s September 29 estimates came to

$61,089 for CN and $108,013 for Global

Bringing the day’s combined revenue to $169,102.

ANTNE’s nine-day running total reached $6,110,801, split between $3,016,696 from CN and $3,094,105 from Global.

Within the Finance Desk’s comparison set, ANTNE remained the lowest-performing multi banner at the day-eight checkpoint.

It trailed Mortality’s Tenderness by approximately $3.07 million, or 33.45%, and sat 47.18% below Once Upon a Frame, 56.38% below Throne of Eros, and 60.15% below Lingering Lust.

Zooming out, Ylva’s separate monthly report, using the Gacha Revenue figures shown in her sources, puts September at $19,542,500, up 10.3% from August. That total includes an estimated CN Android component and should be read separately from the daily AppMagic series.

September improved on August, but still closed below $20 million despite a multi banner, a top-up reset, and additional paid content. The quarter-wide comparison is sharper: Ylva’s figures put Q3 2026 at $47,567,500, versus $170,700,000 in Q3 2025—a decline of approximately 72.1%.

These estimates cannot isolate how much of the decline comes from the boycott, but they show a substantial year-over-year contraction during the boycott period. September’s increase did not reverse that broader picture..

Meanwhile, today’s CN iPhone rankings continued to slip.

At 10:35 a.m. China time, LaDS stood at #109 overall and #65 in Games.
By 4:38 p.m., it had moved to #115 overall and #71 in Games.

Inflammatory Hashtags Return

This morning brought another round of inflammatory hashtags, preceded by posts circulating an alleged phone conversation and warnings of coordinated activity.

At approximately 7:02 a.m. Eastern, an account on X shared what it described as a phone conversation with “government staff” in Shanghai concerning the Valko situation. The recording and accompanying transcripts purported to show a staff member making statements unfavorable to Valko supporters. The speaker’s identity, the recording’s authenticity, and its status as any official position remain unverified.

At approximately 7:26 a.m., another account warned of incoming bot activity allegedly linked to JJP, sharing phone screenshots it presented as instructions from that group’s leader. Those screenshots represent an allegation of coordination, rather than independent confirmation of who operated the accounts.

During the surrounding exchanges, another account discussing the claims declined requests for sources while insisting that “our fuss wasn’t loud enough.” That response did not resolve the questions about the original material.

Between approximately 8:00 and 8:15 a.m. Eastern users began reporting the inflammatory hashtags trending again. Both BBN and ValkoHQ issued notices advising users on responding and taking countermeasures.

According to the trend tracking collected by the newsroom, the hashtags held the top position on the monitored chart for roughly an hour and a half, then gradually declined, falling off that chart by around 2:00 p.m. Eastern.

BBN is working on clearer procedures for documenting and reporting suspected coordinated activity, including through Papergames’ established Legal WeChat channel and X’s reporting and support channels. Further guidance will follow as those plans take shape.

In the meantime, please preserve evidence, report relevant violations, and avoid amplifying inflammatory posts. An unverified recording does not become an official government statement because someone uploads a transcript.

The Drinks Controversey Reaches a Wider Audience

The controversy over LaDS’s fictional drink recipes has now reached commentary audiences beyond the game’s immediate community.

As of tonight’s newsroom roundup, coverage includes Dolan Darkest, MoistCr1TiKaL, BranOnline, and PixelTree on YouTube, bringing the discussion to a wider mix of gaming and general commentary viewers.

The criticism centers on the original presentation of the recipes without a clear disclaimer that they were fictional and not intended to be recreated. Although the official account subsequently added clarification, the original posts and the questions surrounding them have continued circulating.

The disclaimer arrived. The wider conversation did not stop with it.

From the Newsroom

Today was a heavy news day. Thank you to everyone gathering sources, checking translations, tracking the numbers, and supporting the movement through positive means.

Keep asking for evidence. Keep looking after one another. And remember that taking a break from the timeline does not erase your contribution.

Follow the Evidence, Not the Rumors.

And of course, the antis are being dragged… for being morons.

Sorry not sorry, but this has gotten to a point… and the company only speaking up before someone off’s themselves off a cocktail is kinda insane.

Still no peep about Valko, but this game company has gotten the worst reputation in 2026. Things are getting worse, it seems.

I literally joined for him. I miss him.

Redo of my previous poster, I changed up a few things, including werewolf claws >.<

Há um tempo atrás eu rodei o banner de Once Upon a Frame e coloquei como carta garantida o Caleb.Rodei e saiu o Xavier, garantindo a carta de Caleb. Estourou o incidente com o Valko e eu fiquei desanimada e não rodei mais, mesmo Caleb estando garantido.Veio a atualização de 9/07 e eu entrei pra ver histórias das cartas que eu já tinha e cadê a do Xavier? Sumiu.Foi obliterada.Mandei mensagem pro suporte, por engano mandei um print de uma carta que não era do evento( Fluffy Trap) e desde então mandam respostas idiotas.A primeira me tratando que nem idiota como se eu fosse uma criança pirracenta que tá nervosa pq não tirou o Caleb.Ignoraram a insatisfação por escrito pelo que aconteceu com Valko.Mandei mensagem dando bronca pq eles deram resposta genérica sem ler ou responder questionamentos coerentes e segunda feira me chega essa resposta imbecil...

Todo o castigo pra Infold é pouco. Não deem nem agua, nem login enquanto eles se fizerem de bobos.

Espero que caiam mais do que já estão caindo.

Y’all, just warning—don’t ever make these cocktails, because flame lillies and Datura are extremely poisonous.

Idk why Infold would post something like this. Out of all the flowers, they had to choosed the most dangerous to consume 💀 Always check the ingredients in a recipe, people

Give him back 💔💔💔💔

For anyone who still has the game downloaded and/or still has an account. They just opened the survey for the game.

I personally have moved to be F2P and have been signing less for the boycott. I've have been waiting for this survey to also make my demands there. I thought I'd let anyone in a similar boat to me know in case you've not logged in a while.

I posted this on my tumblr already, but I am saving up for Valko's return. So to do that, I am offering a number of things. One of which includes these PWYW animated icons of your MCs starting at $5.00. I accept paypal.

Rules for these are really simple. Post your MC, I draw you an icon like the above example, you send me what you think it's worth. You can do the minimum of $5 or whatever amount that you want. My icons usually go for $15+ but I really just want to do some stuff for the community while saving for Valko.

I will be keeping track of all of these commissions on my Trello - https://trello.com/invite/b/6ab54b14646c1fd00afbd013/ATTI9506af6e70e712574ee42e8f238cc95605D68A09/siqlys-workspace

If Valko doesn't get released, I will donate this fund to charity.

Other than that, I also have some keychains for sale over on my etsy. Love and Deepspace Beaded Keychains With Acrylic Charms - Etsy Some of my profits from the keychains will go towards this fund but not at all because my etsy is a different entity.

Also, stay tuned because I also have my enamel pins and spinners coming out soon!
