Petition: Keep Timelordess in Pico

 

How would you feel if you went to Pico World Support (support@ameba.net) for help and they turned around and said they may ban your account? Well, that's what's happened to Timelordess.

Here's what happened:
Timelordess noticed some fishy activity with her account's Gummies balance. She was threatened by a someone who claimed to be a hacker in a GM Games area. Then overnight it changed to a very high amount. She contacted Pico World Support and was told that she might never get access to her account again ... even though she did no wrong.

Timelordess's character:
Those who know Timelordess, know that she's fun and caring ... and hasn't the first clue how to be a hacker or scammer. She reports those who bully and threaten to Pico World Support, and encourages her circle of friends to do the same.

For Timelordess to now face the possibility of being permanently banned simply in asking for help is incredibly unfair. Who's next? You? Me?

The letter:

Dear Ameba and CyberAgent America:


Recently, Pico ID Timelordess (also *Timelordess*) reported to Pico World Support (support@ameba.net) that she noticed some suspicious activity with her account. Her Gummies currency balance had ballooned to a very large amount. This happened after an incident in the GM Games area; she was threatened by a players who claimed to be a hacker.


Being a responsible player, Timelordess came forward to you seeking help. Instead, she was told that because of this strange account activity she may be banned.


This would be incredibly unfair and unjust.


As a friend of Timelordess and a concerned Pico player I want to give her my support.


I vouch for Timelordess's character and want to tell you that she:

• is not, nor has she ever been, a hacker or scammer. She does not support this activity and has, in fact, posted anti-hack/scam messages to readers of her Pico blog.
• is a mature and responsible person who does not invest her time in hacking/scamming or the abuse of other players.
• is a positive, encouraging and inclusive member of the Pico game community. She is accepting of people of all ages, genders and cultural backgrounds into her friendship circle.
• encourages all those who come within her influence to resolve their in-game issues by reporting them to support@ameba.net -- instead of taking matters into their own hands.
• supports your organization through purchasing Ameba Gold and deserves a proper investigation into the account activity she has brought to your attention.

Ameba Pico needs to invest in proper safeguards to protect innocent players, like Timelordess, and catch those who carry out wrongdoing through hacking, scamming, abuse and other exploits of the game.


Please assign the blame where it lies.


Please do not ban the accounts of Timelordess.


Sincerely,
[Your Name]

UPDATED: After a month, she is back~! All of this was cause by a system bug, which affected every Pico with a high gummies balance. A great big hug to all who signed the petition^^ Thank you!

A Scarlett Typical Day !

I actually took these pictures a very long time ago for posting purpose. But there was so many different things I want to post instead, so these kinda got push behind... By the time I remember them, they were covered with spider webs from being left alone for so long !My fault.. my fault..

Anyway, this post shows an everyday cycle in Ameba Pico for me. It is pretty much the same thing every time I go on until I log off.

My Pico day starts in Japanese Park. I usually go there to get props. (fastest way, trust me)

Sometimes I would meet up with a few friends in the park and our conversations began there. But very often, I am just a loner haha ~ and an observer at that. I'm never too AFK to not knowing what's going on around me.

To get rings of course..

I usually do "Ring Back" event, but due to the recent ring's error, which only God knows when Pico is gonna fix it, I can't see the person who ring me to ring back anybody anymore...Such a shame..

While creating some of my very own, I also look for a certain type of events, such as food ones. There are plenty throughout the whole event box. But the problem reside on whenever the event is real or not... Usually it would be "Ring and Props for food", or so people says. But for easy understanding, I would translate that into "Ring and Props me, then you get kick"

Spin a few times on Gummies Gacha. I'm an addict, it's hard to stop..Well, I actually spin to get the tokens.. Ameba got really bad taste in fashion, especially in the daily gacha. to be honest

Notice: This was intended to be posted a long time ago, explaining for the old picture of 2nd anniversary gacha.

Hmm.. Well.. I guess that mostly conclude the time I spend in Pico after they restart. So usually, I would be super glued to a slot seat somewhere in the slot area, trying to finish off the challenge (always at last minute)

A Sweet Letter

I Was In Japanese Park When I Received A Letter From éricisbored.

Well... What Do You Think ?

No, Of Course You Don't Have To Type The Whole Link On Your Own And Find Out What It Is About, Silly.

Here's What The Link Lead To...

His Timing Was So Perfect ! I Didn't Even Know He Took A Picture Until He Send Me The Link.. Thank You So Much, éricisbored, For Taking A Picture Of Me And Edit It Into A Beautiful Picture I Really Love It ~

Also, When I Checked His Blog, It Turns Out He Also Took Pictures Of Others And Edit It... What A Nice Person You Are, Eric.

Longest Maintenance Yet...

Yesterday, Pico Put On A 6 Hours Maintenance To Fix Their Error On The Gummies Gambling ( I think ) Hmm..Well, Something Must Have Happened, For It Has Been More Than 12 Hours Since I've Been Staring At The Maintenance Screen ( over exaggerating of course ) 

Well.. Checking Again.. 

*clears throat * Pico.. You Can't Even Tell Us The Time You Finish Fixing Your Little Game ?

Apparently, Just 20 Minutes Ago, Another Notice From Ameba Pico ~ Behold.. - -

No, For Fuck Sake, I Do Not Understand. Because This Is What It Seems To Me :

Chloe : Oh no, our new gummies gambling system have some errors!

Thomas : Well, it was a complicated process trying to create it.

Chloe : I just put on a 6 hours maintenance ! Hopefully we will have enough time to fix it.

- After 6 Hours Of Drinking Tea -

Chloe : Well, Longer Maintenance Wouldn't Kill Anybody

Thomas + Chloe Pulling Everything They Got To Fix The Error

Result : Failure

I'm Guessing They Spend Another 2 Hours Or So Playing Hide and Seek

Thomas : Oh My ! Look At The Time !

Chloe : I Guess We Should Do Something Now. I'll Just Post On Facebook Saying Sorry Again. What A Pain.

Thanks For Reading My Nonsense Story. But It's Pretty Rational If You Think About It..

   Off Topic Time 

Since Pico Decided To Release Their Gummies Gambling Information Without Any Actual Details At All, I Was Very Anxious To See Just How Does It Looks Like ; All The Gambling, The Gacha, The AG To Gummies Cashier ( which I thought was utterly ridiculous, but I'm not complaining again )

All These Things I Want To See, and 'Till Now, I Probably Wouldn't Either If Not For picostyle , Which Provided Overall Pictures For Everything. To My Surprise, The Gacha Was 3,000 Gummies per SpinOf Course This Isn't The First Time I Thought Ameba Had Lost Their Damn Mind, But Never Did I Expect A Gacha With 3k Gummies For Each Spin, Just So Unreasonable. 

Chihuahua Park

The Chihuahua Park Along With The Hateful Gacha Made Their Way Into Ameba Pico For The First Time. i'm screw  Well, The Animal Itself Is A Little Too Scrawny For Me, But The Whole Chihuahua Outfit In Pico ? Eh... A Whole Different Story.

Even So.. As Much As I Want The Outfit, It Seems That My Luck And This Gacha Are Incompatible.. It Seems Almost Impossible To Get Anything Good. But Worry Not~ I've Heard People Spending 2,000+ AG Just To Get The Outfit, But Still Didn't. Damn, I Consider Myself Lucky To Be Able To Stop..
Now For Some Pictures In The Park!

Who Wanna Feed Me ?? Don't Be Scared, I Don't Bite ♥ Just Kidding

Ameba Scams Its Paying Customers?

Original Post Can Be Seen *Here*, Written By AF - RO80 Type: Mag Blog Writer

Did your Pico account get suspended recently?
When you contacted Pico World Support (support@ameba.net) to find out why did they claim you owed them money?

Last month this happened to me and I posted about it.

I found out that other Pico players had experienced the same thing! One person I talked to was suspended for 20 days. Another said she paid the money just so she could get her account back- even though she never requested a chargeback/refund at any time.

I can only imagine that many people just paid the amount without going back to their PayPal or credit card records to proove otherwise.

From the beginning Ameba’s approach was to get the money. They didn’t send any request to provide proof if you did not insist you had already paid.

This is a scam. This is extortion.

Ameba has not publicly acknowledged their mistake on the official blog.People who have received this same message should know that there’s a possibility that they have already paid.

• When a bug prevented people from using a recent casino challenge Ameba apologized and offered players Tokens and more slot play time at 10x. [»]
• When a bug prevented people from sending Facebook gifts Ameba apologized and offered players the ability to send more gifts and extended the campaign. [»]

When Ameba misleads many of its paying customers … there is only silence. No offer to make amends.

I want to hold Ameba accountable for it’s actions. To publicly post on its blog and Facebook page about the situation and to make proper restitution to those it has accused and suspended the accounts of.

If you are you someone whose account was suspended for these reasons please send your story to ro80typemag@gmail.com. If you know someone who is in this situation, please send them this post.

We are looking for:

• Your story about the experience in 300 words or less. Be sure to include:
  • your first name and last initial (e.g. Jennifer S.)
  • the amount that Pico World Support says you owe(d) them;
  • whether you already paid the amount and if you sent your PayPal or credit card;
  • a suggestion as to  how you want Pico to make amends for its false accusations against you.

A sample letter with a story can be seen at http://bit.ly/yNdxen.

I plan to compile these accounts of users scammed by Pico send this to Facebook. Please note your email address will be given to Facebook in the letter. This is in case they choose to contact you directly. Your email will not be used for any other reason.

I am hoping that complaints to Facebook about an application hosted by their service will force Ameba to do something responsible.

Thank you. Please post about this and link to this post on your blogs, Facebook page or Twitter.

Pink Escargot

I've Seen A Few Edited Escargot Color, Such As Blue, Pink, And White. Well, Only This Time Pico Actually Released A Pink Escargot. Usually, I Wouldn't Buy It.. Since Scarlett Here Is Very Picky About What She Spends Her Money On..And Of Course The Fact That After A While, Half Of The Pico World Have Already Got Their Hand On It. But, This Time, The Escargot Is Unlike The Others, It's Limited. Knowing That It Is Limited, I Decided To Go With My Guts And Bought It...
Ah, So Now Both My Ameba Gold And My Casino Dollars Decided To Run Away Together.. ( Culprit : Me)

Yes...

I Really Really Hope That Pico Won't Release A Blue One.. There's A High Chance They Would. I Mean, They Are Already Selling Pink Escargots, What Can Keep Them From Releasing A Blue One ? All They Have To Do Is Just Redo The Color Of The Escargot Into Blue, And Abracadabra ~~ More People Will Become Broke, And Ameba Pico Is Just Exactly The Type Who Love To See People Suffer. Also, If There Was A Blue Or Pink Choice.. I Would Definitely Choose Blue.

Fun Fact : Even Though My Blog Is All Pink-ish, Lots Of People Would Assume That I Love Pink ( like any other girls ) I Do, But Just Not As Much As Blue

Anyway, Yes, I Would Love To Have A Blue Escargot, But I Don't Really Want To Take The Risk. There Are Really No Proof That A Blue One Will Be Release.... So, I Just Bought What's Currently Available.. Whew, Sorry.. I'm Suppose To Write About The Pink Escargot Which I, Sadly Just Bought.. But Instead I Have Been Going On And On About My Blue Escargot Assumption. Really Sorry ><..

Speaking Of Which, Pico Brought In Some Really Adorable Wigs ♥ ( I'm going off topic again... Oh well )

Should I Buy Them ;_; ?? Having A Hard Time Deciding T_T.. The Wigs In Pico Are Cute, That's A Fact. But They Are Nothing Compare To Pigg.. Pigg Has These Killer Long Wigs ( I'm weak for long hairs )

Wahhh...I'm In Love...
