I stumbled across a Plumphelmetpunk livestream in... 2011? Well, it showed a recording of the game (A vampire round specifically) while he talked about it. I actually specifically asking in the chat if the game was harder than Dwarf Fortress. I read up on the wiki before stumbling into the game as a confused staff assistant.
You know what, screw it: I'll tell my "life story" with this game.
I played for a bit under a year before I got my ass justifiably banned in June 2012. Eventually, upon re-examining the game many months later I found that literally everyone had been unbanned in what I call "The Great November Unbanning." I don't know when this was, (2012? 2013?) but mushroom station was still in use. Strange story: I actually tried playing on baystation before I learned of the unbanning, since I really wanted to play SS13. Only upon checking a goon server to confirm my fate after being fed up with the dull nature of baystation did I find I didn't have a ban. I then played for about a month, where I then got a job-ban from research for suicide bombing a wizard. Instead of attempting to appeal with the justification that nothing in the rules said I couldn't have done that, I took it as a sign to take time off from the game.
In August 2014 or so, I decided to try and play this game again. I've enjoyed this game since. It's a strange one, you don't really stop. You might take a break for a week or two and next thing you know you're spending 3-4 rounds a day on it.
Funfact: That scientist job-ban is still in place on LLJK 1. I haven't appealed out of laziness and because of how I never play on LLJK 1.
