In the game created by the computer software company, "A Thinking Ape", called "Party In My Dorm" players are able to "farm" other players meaning one player will attack another player taking their money and items in the game. This doesn't seem like a problem right? I mean come on, it is a game after all and a little competition and rivalry is expected as with any other game out there.

The problem with this is that "farming" other players goes far beyond what the company has , let's say, intended. Some players are falling victim to others who are not only attacking but harassing and bullying. Threatening messages are sent and these bullying players know that the victimized players will get no support from the company and can almost recite what the responding email will be.

I myself, among many many other players, have fallen victim to this sort of harassment and blackmailing. Not only have I been black listed, meaning i am unable to do anything in the game, but I am being sent demands and the members of the club, that I worked very hard for and have even paid money for, are being farmed and sent demands. The harassing player will not stop until something called a "CF" (ceasefire) is met. Sometimes these CF demands include the victimized player spending actual money on the game, disbanding their club, gifting entire showcases, and even making it to where the player will no longer be able to play the game anymore.

These "farmers" will make it to where a player will not be able to join any clubs, a player will be dropped from their pup and as one "farmer" put it "you'll never do anything else on PIMD but watch and talk"

Why should players be threatened to not be able to play the game anymore? To me it would seem like the creators of the game would want to stop this kind of abuse that is happening to people who are paying money to play their game.

"Farming" should be mutual between players and should not be used as a blackmailing tactic for players to get what they desire at the expense of others. It should be a part of "Wars" or done in retaliation of being "Farmed" innocent players who are just trying to enjoy the game should not be able to be victimized by these players.

The company, A Thinking Ape, should take a stand against this form of cyber bulling and give the players an opportunity to block these "farmers" from being able to attack them.

My idea would be to modify the setting behind the blocking feature to where players are able to completely block another player. The company could even go as far to create a feature where the player cannot block during a war or a player cannot block a player that they have farmed.

This to me would create a better game play by letting innocent players have the opportunity to stop the attacks, harassment, and threats and continue to play without disturbance but also by having the feature of not letting a player block someone they have farmed make it to where players cannot farm and then block to not get the retaliation same goes for the wars. With the amount of money that I myself see, which has to be only a fraction of what is actually spent, that has been spent on this game the game creators should be able to come up with a solution to this issue instead of sending response emails of "farming is a core mechanic of the game...there's nothing we can do"

By signing this petition we are asking the creators of "Party In My Dorm" , "A Thinking Ape", to either come up with a solution to this form of cyber bullying and make the game play fair to everyone or update the blocking feature to allow players to complete block someone who is harassing them.
