Honestly, since her blog opened yesterday Branik has posted so many times you need to go back a page. Goodness, gracious! Someone has emotional problems, huh?
Honestly, I highly doubt Branik has much more of a problem other than Histrionic Personality Disorder. A.K.A. Internet Attention Whore. She made a blog about running an online, browser-based, horse breeding simulation that's is HARDLY accurate. It's not like she posts every now and then about something really, ridiculous, she's getting mad about things that every small-scale game owner has to deal with. Sorry, honey, you're not special.
If your game was so special, why would anyone play another one? Frankly, it ISN'T hard. It's probably the easiest horse sim I've ever playing in my entire life. And that's saying a lot. I enjoy putting about the internet when I'm feeling like vegging out, which is often. I just started one that roughly a million times harder and appears just as genetically accurate, if not more so.
I'll break my thoughts down for you folks.
#1 Branik is histrionic. Here are some signs for your viewing pleasure:
"essential feature of the histrionic personality disorder is a pervasive and excessive pattern of emotionality and attention-seeking behavior"
Flipping out? Check. Whining non-stop? Check. Throwing tantrums? Check. Swearing around children? Double check.
"Women with HPD are described as self-centered, self-indulgent, and intensely dependent on others" Constantly on the internet, eh Bran? Gotta talk at people that you'll never meet? Can't find anyone else that will listen to you or care what you have to say? Every time you post its about how much of a genius you are, how hard your life is, and how far you've come. Every time anyone posts with their problem, you have to take one step further. Their dog died? Yours was murdered by your arch nemesis. Someone's car got a scratch? Yours was blown up by terrorists. Okay, I might be exaggerating with the examples, but that's basically what it sounds like. It is ALL about you.
"They are emotionally shallow and have difficulty understanding others or themselves in any depth" This one hits the nail on the head. Branik said herself that. Here's a cute Branik quote:
"The minute I would get comfortable at a place of employment, I'd get fired. I would always think I was finally getting along and it would just surprise me out of left field. I never saw it coming. Only once did I last at one company for more than two years and my career at that franchise was like a yo-yo. I was promoted and demoted and bounced from one store to another so often I often didn't know what job I was doing or where I was working from one day to the next.
Another thing that tended to take me off guard was finding out that people I worked with hated me. I would be going along thinking we got along good, and find out that they can't stand me. I will never grasp that kind of deceptive behavior, but man NTs are bad about it."
I don't want to quote too much, but I can if its requested. She basically goes around saying how she doesn't care/ understand other human being and how dumb they are. She's also a genius and not arrogant. Hmmm.
Here are some more! I don't have enough hours in the day to show evidence of all of them, but if you want it I WILL provide.
"Women with HPD may show inappropriate and intense anger"
"Excessive sensitivity to criticism or disapproval"
"Excessive dramatics with exaggerated displays of emotions"
"Constant seeking of reassurance or approval"
"A need to be the center of attention"
"Low tolerance for frustration or delayed gratification"
"Making rash decisions"
Honestly, I know nothing of Branik's personal relationships, and I'd rather never know. We've had hints and suggestions about it, especially the idea that a female player was showing the same actions as an "abusive ex." Uh... what? You're clinically insane.
The next post will be about the game itself.

So, I found this after doing a search on google, after a nasty experience with ER and must say was not surprised to find this. SO is this owner like bi-polar, schizo or what? It is certainly not the kind of thing we need in the Genetics/Breeding game genre.
Here's a short take on my experience with her. First I own my own game, called Poultryland. On the forums of that game ER was mentioned and suggested (with cautions which interested me). I went and took a look at ER and thought it was a nice game, very comprehensive and could be fun. So I played around with it for a couple horus reading and so forth. Then decided to upgrade and give it a try. So I upgraded my account and after waiting a bit went into the forum and asked how long it took to show up. I was a bit surpridsed it was not automatic like most all the other games I play since ER seems a pretty big operation? A player responded that it could take a couple days, then another person said 24-36 hours are "we" recieve the payment. Humm..ok so I assumed this person was admin. So I responded that that was fine, that although I did run my own game called Poultryland and ours was automatic thtat I was not a coder so I did not know Paypal worked in so many different ways. And then asked if I should use my sessions anyway?
Boom, then Admin came in and posted "please read the rules I have edited your post for violating them". (She didn't answer the question either). SO I was a bit perplexed, I had no clue what I had done, so I began reading through the rules again AND again, looking at my post trying to remember what she had edited out. Then It hit my...the word Poultryland. So back to the rules and the only thing I found was "do not discuss other games not owned by SnowWolf". Hummm...was this it? But I did not discuss any other game, no link, no discription, no comment nothing. Only the word in passing as I responded about the paypal issue.
So, I then posted back to her that though it took me a while to figure out what I supposedly had done, I guess I now saw it and that the game really wasnt for me because I was not really "into" that kind of hostile atmosphere.
Boom I was gone, Even though she knew I had just paid for an upgrade she banned me with a message about being "Shitty to the owner". Wow, I was floored, I mean I had heard that ER was ran by a partcularly nasty person but even I was shocked. I mean spammers? sure, I wouldn't allow that either, but discussion or even the mention of a word associated with another game?
And the reaction from her was SO over the top, I cannot believe the game has survived with someone like that at the helm.
So is she really as crazy or unstable as she seems? And how the hell does she keep a game going with that kind of behavior?..lol
Rusty, I really want to know how she came off as hostile to you?
No, I haven't read her "blog" but would certainly like to. Not really sure how to find it? My sister went back in there the nxt day and copied the thread. She told me about some of the statements, but she was banned too. It's not really what was done to me (which did floor me totally). It was when I found out that it was commonplace. That she does this in kudos to so many so often. I mean, the fact this blog exists is something amazing, never seen anything like it directed at a game owner.
To Cadence : The overall intial reaction was coarse and hostile. Also remember that I had just paid, and after learning it took so much time to be applied I had nothing to do there but read. So I read and began to ssee the "disturbances" and THEN came her response to my reply. Remember at first I had no clue what I had done to have my post edited and publically repromanded about breaking rules. It took me damn near an hour of reading the rules to figure out what I had done, ONLY to then realize I had NOT violated any rule at ER. I did not Discuss, advertise, recruit, describe, hint at, post a link or anything like that. I was banned for the same reason so many others were, I crossed HER. And the ban message she gave me, incuded cussing (I mean jeez, I could have been 13 years old!). There is no doubt on this planet that girl is "Hostile". I am kind of confused as to why you would even ask considering all the information available as to her behavior towards players.
After reading braniks' blog as directed. I have this to say since I know she would nevr "approve the comment" there.
This is what I say to her.
First of all. Let's get something straight. I did not "Discuss, advertise, post a link to, discribe, welcome to try, come and see, take a look" or any god damn thing else reagrding that game. SINCE only 2 people responded on that thread during the what? 20 minutes it was there before the grand high slapper (See slag, tosser) "edited" it, then how the hell does anyone but those 2 people and her know what was there?
As for "hostile" , after being told it was not automatic, which every game I've EVER played is, I had nothng to do but read archives, I saw pretrty damn quickly how hostile some of the community seemed to be. INCLUDING THIS BLOG!. PROVEN in spades by a couple of the wanker posts right here AND there. That Anti-ER sites explains a whole lot about the punk posey who strokes this cows utters for horsey points. AGAIN proven in spades. Why the FUCK would I try to ADVERTISE that site on a damn HORSE game. They are NO competition to each other in my mind.
Pulling players away from ER?..WTF? why would it ever cross my mind Horse genetics wanted to play Poultry genetics? If they did all they had to do was type it in google if they wanted to find a POULTRY GAME. You silly twats. THE RULE she "politely pointed out" (my seriously fine ass!) was NOT broken by me. I did NOT discuss that game nor did it ever cross my mind TO discuss that game.
It was HER overboard reaction without even the slightest pause and the cussing at me on the ban message, and the fact that no PM was sent directing me to a rule, only to then find it myself and realize IF THAT WAS THE RULE SHE MEANT then I damn sure didn't break it.
TO Moms to ashley's hole
You are one seriously wacked sister to think I consider ER "competition" to PL. You posted the same lame ass comment there. The games are NOTHING and NO connection to one another. Different crowd, different gameplay, different genre. I came to ER to play with horse genetics, like I play alot of genetics games unrelated to each other. from Darwin Bots to SimAgri. The whole bunch of her majesty's little punk posey seem like you all (not everyone here just her posey) share the same paranoid mental illness condition she does.
As for Angelique being "Confused"...I'll say it again, after I finally found something I THOUGH must be the rule she was talking about, i KNEW I had not "Discussed another game owned by her". HENCE my then reply that she went apeshit over because I now knew this wasn't a cool place to be.
Personally this is all fucking funny as hell to me, because I have been playing Genetics games for years and I can tell you right now, there is NO WAY in hell that this slapper will last for the LONG HAUL in this genre with her problems, this reputation will spread through the internet and gaming community like a bad rash on a crack whore. The fact she has this "Rated R" blog where she rants like a vapid cow against all the mad masses who are conspiring to undo and dethrone her linked from the front page of a game where children play is evidence enough as to her disease. The fact she relys on a circle of court jestors to stroke her behavior as both acceptable and justified is yet more. The fact she could throw a public tantrum to unaware players at the slightest whim (Which is documented in post after post and player after player) come on to her public page and cuss and namecall and then act "hurt and betrayed" when she herself is called out like the bitch she is, is yet a little bit more. Slap and thrash and gnash her teeth and cry baby shoes when anybody does it back to her. She calls me yet another fucktard and will probably then have the nerve to act upset and mistreated at being called a loose legged vapid bitch with a motor driven ass that runs at the same speed as her garbage filled mouth.
BUT there's a big difference between coming DOWN to her level, and being UNABLE to ever rise to another. I can bitchslap and jackmouth with the best of them. Difference is, it is NOT my natural state of being unlike YOU.
So "Branik"...you have fun sweety, you slobber and gnash all you want to, and you coo and ooze out the milk for your little posey to lap up like a half starving wolf pack getting in a little leftover meat from your latest drama queen kill. Go to YOUTUBE, type in Courtney Love - Stand Up Motherfucker. and Listen to each and every word...it's my true and heartfelt sympathies to you darling. In the end, despite what I think about you I feel VERY VERY sorry for you, I trully trully and sincerly do. Despite who you are and what you are, ER was a nicely designed HORSE game. But then again, Hitler had some good ideas too about train schedules...to bad he was a monster underneath and in other areas, it kind of clouds the view of his good ideas on proper infrastructure didn't it. I'd be careful your "Good idea" isn't washed away like a forgotten memory by the moster you project yourself to be.
Ok, now you can "delete" the post, it was fun though wasn't it. After all it is what your kind lives for. So I figured since I was told to come check it out and "Play" with you since you love it so much, I could waste 10 minutes...of course, ehhh now I want them back..LOL
I don't see how it was hostile though. She treated you the exact same was she treated everyone else. She posted that you had done something wrong, and that you should read the rules.
I believe mentioning another game in general falls under 'Discussing' it.
Also, you can post the response you made to Bran's blog on her blog page. She hasn't deleted anything yet, so why would yours be the first?
'there is NO WAY in hell that this slapper will last for the LONG HAUL in this genre with her problems,'
Just thought I'd point out that the game has already lasted several years already.
"I shoot everyone in the same place so I'm not a psychopath "...hummm...I'm not quite sure that disputes the issue does it? That only means you are a consitant psychopath.
1) What I said in the thread to her AFTER she did what she did, AFTER I found the supposed "rule" which I did not break, AFTER I then looked around, read archives, goggled the site and found cache arguments and mentions was ALL together Hostile. Her supporters such as yourself keep trying to make the 1 line she posted as the point of contention that represents "Hostile". I've tried to say it in several different ways, I am not sure how else to say it. It was the whole atmosphere based in part (The fuse) on her corse edit and accusation, that response being that after I looked around ALONG WITH her edit, the rule I did not break, her super quick action without comment regarding the edit (In public no less) or personal slant. THEN I posted that response which COMPLIMENTED Her game but said I was mistaken, that I didn't want to be around such an atmosphere which is my right and my right to say so.
2) "That girl can tell you about coding as she owns a game called Equine Ranch"...moving on...IS NOT "Discussing" ER, I don't know what dictionary you use, but mentioning the word without comment, description, invitation OR direction. But ONLY in passing on another subject does not constitute discussion.
Webster Dictionary definition of "Discussion"
1 : consideration of a question in open and usually informal debate
2 : a formal treatment of a topic in speech or writing.
3) Hate to break it to the "Branik Buttkiss Squad" but quess what...a SPAMMER does not Upgrade their account, wait for an hour, post a question about the upgrade, and then in a response, hours after they join and more hours after they upgrade (See send Branik money) discuss paypal with a statement that I know where of I speak because I own a game too called poultryland to SPAM ER. Understand? It would defeat the purpose of spamming for free advertisement to UPGRADE YOUR ACCOUNT ON A DAMN GAME TO THEN SPAM IT. You don't really expect me to believe, based on your seemingly adult and intelligent responses, that such a fact escapes and eludes you? Can you explain why a "Spammer" would do that? I can, because there was no spam, there was no intent, there was no thought on that level, there was no discussion or advertising. I believe you are a tad bit smarter than that.
4) the fact this blog exists, the fact that so many have said so much, the fact that it is NOT just me...well, you could never ever win this point. SHE is a total spaz and everything that has beenn said about her has been backed up with usually copy/paste documentation.
5 and Final) Long Haul, does not refer to a revolving door of comers and goers... a "Game" will stay alive as long as the owner is willing to pay the monthly server fees, regardless of whether that is 1 month or 10 years. I was talking more about reputation, not existence on the internet...be it 8 bucks for a shared server or 50 bucks for a VPS or your very own server ran out of your house. A game can exist timewise for as long a the owner pays the server fee, even if only 1 person plays the game.
