What we're dealing with AI bots scraping the site to volume equating to DDoS attack. Normally we expect a couple hundred members and a few thousand guests at one time. AI scrapers have slowed the site so only 28 members online because there's 91000(!) "guests" making the site unusable.

No A.I. is a rule in my game jam, not a request. It's a trust-based system, and I actively oppose any witchhunts. But please don't. If you use A.I., at all, please don't enter your game into my jam. It clashes so harshly with my core interests, efforts, and ethics. Please let us have this space.

Panel 1:
A Red Guy with AI across his chest looks like he’s about to run away. A Yellow Guy stands next to him. Red Guy says “I’m the future, buddy. You comin’?”
Yellow Guy replies “Nah”

Panel 2:
Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4:
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6:
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

Panel 7:
AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy.
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”
