Still no ideas for how to remove RMT plague or ban the person that makes the account. Just more vague generalizations of how you would maybe handle it and finger pointing at the staff.

If you read more carefully, I stated I would start by banning all account the RMTer ever logged on to regardless of number of times they accessed the account.

So called innocent accounts shouldn't be protected as they knowingly violated the server rules regarding account sharing.

As far as how I would improve upon the manner in which RMT is combatted by the staff I can't comment further than what was already shared by staff (and previous staff) in this thread although if they want some help try are welcome to PM me.

Might be fun and the GM's could potentially out source some of their workload by providing limited tools which would allow specified members from all guilds to police each other.

Naw. People want to keep the blinders on and forget the fact Jeremy was fucking around in Trak's lair and agroed trakanon onto bda logging on/sitting at the rock. If anything I could have done better was given Jeremy a vacation and told tmo they can't attempt Trakanon and not sit there for 2 fucking hours trying to get a hold of anyone else on staff while giving Jeremy the benefit of doubt to try and wiggle out of his fuck up.

Today's standard would be no no trak then, or next spawn. I guess you can say I ruled in favor of tmo in that case by going soft on them.

From the server-rules/play-nice-policy:


While we don't allow account TRADING on p99, it is fine for you to play a friends account. Just make very sure that you don't have another account/character in the game at the same time, or you might get disciplined for two-boxing!

You can do it yourself. As much shit I talk TMO knows I'm a white knight when it comes to cheating, If I see a guildmate using MQ or RMTing i'll be the first person to get them bant.

It's bad for the server in the eyes of Sony and it's bad for the economy. If I had proof of umbrella RMTing I would hand it over in a heartbeat.

They can be freely shared, since the staff can't enforce people not sharing accounts. Yet any action taken on those accounts outside of 2boxing, also sticks with that account. It doesn't matter who did it.

Very rarely does a "innocent" account escape punishment.

The sad thing is you actually believe what you think.

For several months now there has been a long history of forgoing the raid mob that day plus the next one if any type of negligence occurs during an engagement. Your attempt to jam the incident with dinacarl into the scenario provided by ambrotos is glaringly weak seeing as there was no raid encounter to forgo.

Loraens idea that a raid offense is determined by the entity trained not by the identity trainer is also equally devoid of logic, and cannot be found within any concept contrived and recognize by men who make a living making and accepting arguments such as principles of Vicarious liability, agency, or negligent entrustment. Your best bet is under a theory of control via your boy unbrella; but suspicion is not a substitute for evidence.

As far as Tiggles goes, you let me know when he gets that character unbanned, k? As you stated yourself, you aren't even working off of facts - you're going off second-hand information and allegations. Again, the server has had a few rough patches with former staff members - but I'd challenge anyone to find real evidence of something like this happening with any current staff members. So yes, if this is the way you feel, I'd say gtfo - I don't know why you'd want to play on a server you view as "corrupt" ran by a staff that you think show favortism.

Shit, let me know too please. Nilbog is my neighbor and the guy won't even lift the ban, even though he borrows my lawnmower and never returns it.

This would only serve to increase the theories of server corruption. It would be even more possible to either fabricate logs to get someone banned, or have an RMT kingpin sneak in and undermine the entire process to a larger extent than people already feel they are able to.

That depends on whether the evidence they developed could be manipulated or not. A system where they were only able to flag questionable content for review might work. Regardless, there appears to already be methods the GMs are willing to accept as proof as we've seen in the recent bannings.

Maybe the GMs would never even act on information developed by young detectives but at the very least it might slow RMTers down with the thought that people who severely dislike them are looking for any slip up.

Only if they ordered, ratified, or were negligent in what happened. A UPS driver hitting someone on a frolic (getting drive-through while working an 18 hour shift) would likely make UPS liable. Similarly if they later went "Good job on hitting him!" & cut the guy a check (like an NFL tackle bounty program), or if they knew the guy had 50 accidents on his record and still let him drive. Note that apparent authority can create liability, but that is a very fact specific situation, and generally no one ever has apparent authority to commit a crime or anything like that.

However, the driver going out of his way to shoot 50 people when he has no prior record and appeared entirely stable generally absolves the principle of liability.

1. For one, intentional criminal acts are outside the scope as you point out. Exceptions have been made in some states but not as broad ones as you may be suggesting. Mostly they are limited to bouncers at at a nightclub / bar, and so forth.

2. Second, who is he an agent of. Is he an agent of the fear clear with 4 people. And are they agents of TMO the organization. They were clearing out some monkeys for their 9th alts, when no raid mobs where up. So even if you can claim his act of retaliation was somehow as an agent of the 5 other TMO there, it is then difficult to say that that small group were agents of TMO on official TMO employment. Such a view would make every activity in the game fall within furthering whatever persons guild's interests.

Actually I think you were saying something else than what I thought you were saying, disregard that. I was half-reading and thought you were referring to the responsibility of the guild leadership for their members' actions, not the status of the raid as being a raid.


Question: When you say

"Loraens idea that a raid offense is determined by the entity trained not by the identity trainer"

do you mean "the people who did the training should get to decide whether the people they trained were a raid"? Because why would that make any sense?

The common example I'm talking about is when a bouncer batters someone in the process of throwing them out of a club. In that scenario, the master (club) is liable for the intentional tort (battery) because the action benefits the master.

Would you say the presence of guild leadership at an event constitutes a guild event, since guild officers are understood to be guild officers 24/7, always representing and responsible for their guild? It's not like we're talking about 4 people who happen to be tagged in a guild just hanging out and one of them does something stupid. Although, even if we were, an argument could pretty easily be made that since the group is composed entirely of members of a guild, they, too, are representing said guild, and accountable as representatives of that guild for their actions, right?


I don't care about the train or any of this anymore, I'm just interested philosophically since you're bringing legal arguments into the discussion

Not yet. The bouncer example attaches liability in that physical torts are practically expected as part of the fulfillment of his duties. However, the Glitter Factory isn't liable when their bouncer goes across the street and blows up Bushwacker's Gentlemen's club which would ultimately benefit the former.

I would think that a guild is a partnership and they elect certain managing partners. The partnership is never liable for the act of one partner, unless said partner is functioning as agent and within the scope of that agency.

An individuals liability is only binding on his share of partnership rights.

So nothing special about an officer, unless the act is done within scope of his duties which are to manage the guild website, make loot decisions, lead raids, deal with recruitment and sales etc.

Fun thread!

Loraens idea that a raid offense is determined by the entity trained not by the identity trainer is also equally devoid of logic.

I am, thankfully, not a lawyer. However I'm not sure you understand my point. One of the big arguments being presented by the TMO Young Lawyer team is that because there were only 5 TMO in zone and no raid mobs up, it was not a raid dispute. My point was (and is) that because BDA had 20+ people, they were a raid. The number of TMO and the status of the zone are irrelevant. My point was not "BDA gets to claim a raid dispute because, like, that's their opinion, man".

The other point the TMO young lawyer squad tried to make that Dinacarl acted on his own, they were not liable. And I don't agree with that one, either. An organization is responsible for its members. Maybe not in a directly WE CAN SUE YOU sense, but they are. When a cop shoots a civilian, everyone starts asking questions of the chief of police. And they are pissed off, rightly so. Which brings us to:

Let's also not forget that Unbrella was in the zone - a fact which I mentioned prominently in my original post. That would be like your bouncer taking a flamethrower to your competition's club across the street while the owner looks on approvingly and talks about how it will make an interesting court case. I think his presence invalidates most of your examples. And yes, if Dinacarl had randomly decided to declare war on BDA with no other TMO aware of his actions (cough svenn cough), I wouldn't be quite so quick to assign blame, although I would think the organization should do what they can to compensate the victims. Which I think Cobble is working on.

Also these arguments in general are a great example of people trying to rules lawyer away common sense.

Under that logic a Burger King employee, who was otherwise 100% perfect, could blow up the McDonald's across the street and BK would be liable. That is simply not the case barring BK's negligence, ratification, or something similar attaching liability.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. They are liable for intentional torts reasonably related to job (I don't think it's in the scope of employment).

Your right a a bar will be liable for a bouncer's battery but not them blowing up rival bar.

I'm arguing that a monks training another group is common and reasonably expected.

You can do it yourself. As much shit I talk TMO knows I'm a white knight when it comes to cheating, If I see a guildmate using MQ or RMTing i'll be the first person to get them bant.

It's bad for the server in the eyes of Sony and it's bad for the economy. If I had proof of umbrella RMTing I would hand it over in a heartbeat.

If you think you can do better, feel free to PM me with your comprehensive and effective strategies for combatting RMT. I'd love to know when/where you became an expert on the subject, and how we can integrate your plans into our current system.



I had a margin of error of less than 5%. If you include accounts that were banned immediately after the inital wave, my margin of error drops into the negatives.



Are you even reading my posts? We've already been over this. The actions of previous CSR staff should not reflect upon the current staff's actions, priorities, or rulings. These people haven't been on staff in years, and yet somehow they are still corrupting the box and compromising it's integrity. Makes sense.



No, the leadership of prominent guilds is not most often at the core of RMT operations. The only RMT operations we've proven so far to be aided/ran by a guild leader was Nizzarr, and he was small time compared to the bigger fish.

Yes, it is the same people who return the next day and attempt to start over. As I stated before, they are barely scraping by at this time. I love how people think there is some magic "ban this player forever!" button that can keep someone from connecting for the rest of their lives. The actual RMT sellers on this server go to great lengths to mask their identities, and while I'm able to see through that with careful scrutiny, there is no way to just permanently remove someone from this server, or any server, without restricting access to a larger group of players.

tl;dr I appreciate your thoughts and criticism, but you really have no idea what you are talking about.

if you realize that ousting RMT requires you to restrict access, in nizzar's case, why is that even an issue? disband nihilum the same way holocaust was disbanded

it seems to me like a no-brainer to punish the other people who knowingly enable and support those who break the rules. i'm sure i don't have to go into detail about how bad it makes the staff look when someone you just banned is immediately being powerleveled and regeared by the entirety of their guild.

i'm struggling to find a reason that this is allowed to go on. are you afraid of losing that chunk of people? do you realize how many people would come back to tbe server and continue to play knowing those scumbags are no longer around to shit up the community? this is where the "tinfoil" theories come from, because there is no apparent sensical reason that these things continue to happen, and basically every staff response is "there are reasons" or "we don't have to answer to you"

if you're ever concerned about why so few people have faith in red99(you should be in all honesty), the CSR staff really needs to man up and actually oust the real toxic players on the server and start to have some transparency

I was making a blanket statement in the interest of being concise, and in doing so made a mistake. My apologies. I understand better than almost anyone else how much work you put into the server. Even if I may disagree with some of your methods, I believe you did a lot of good when the server really needed it. I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone who does what we do well for any significant length of time.


C) I don't consider the actions I've disclosed here a mistake.


I disagree, but we should just accept there are many things we won't see eye to eye on. We stand watch over different eras, and what works now likely did not work then.


And I stand by every decision I made. As a consequence, Tiggles and I got the first plat selling website shut right the fuck down. That was a notch I don't believe you have under your belt.

You don't know what I've been able to accomplish during my time on staff, and most of my work will never be shared, so there's no reason for us to have a gmpeen measuring contest.

TMO was crapped on by an individual member; RMT/RL Posters Should be shit on by association as well.

TLDR Sirken is applying the same logic and rules equally. That is the point of my post, it has nothing to do with cock twirling.

OMFG 30 pages since i posted yesterday, i have taco bell to eat and a game to play but here I am.

I still have lots of pages to read, i am sure it will be riveting.

You dumb fuck, it happened 2 fucking weeks ago, and yes you are now measuring cocks, Chest won the contest late (he got extra fluffers) but fuck stop talking about it. YOU LET A GUILDIE train another raid/party/person.

YOU AS MANAGEMENT are responsible for your underlings. If they individually train a raid in Seb than your guild will suffer, the tag above their head is not for show. CONTROL your members, OR at the every least, make sure the ones you tag represents the *new TMO*. if they dont, than you dont tag them or kick them.

The buck stops somewhere and that somewhere should stop at the officers and recruitment page of your website.

So the original client had /commands. But eqemu is sort of a reverse engineer that doesn't actually work the way it did on live. So most of those don't really work, and eqemu had to implement #commands. Those can be defined in the source, and access levels from 0 to 250 set in the db.

So a predefined #command can do anything that the C++ source code can do.

One of those commands that gives the greatest flexibility, is #perl, which lets you execute a line of perl code. So for example in one of my last GM events, I created a suit of armor and set up a series of perl command hotkeys to alter its resistances so that it was completely immune to all but one form of damage.

It had practical uses as well, such as giving out zonewide stacks of beer, or rezzing an entire zone full of corpses with a single button.

But what very few people realize is that on that gfay event, I ran a script that was supposed to give everyone in the zone their level * 10 plat. Except it wound up doing a few extra iterations and giving out a lot more... I wound up chasing a bunch of very understanding (and heavily encumbered) newbs around the rest of that afternoon.

I remember that. Everyone in the zone ended up getting 150k plat's worth in copper. At the time that was worth like 5 manastones. Broke my heart to delete it.

Yeah this was 2011. Before DDoS protection was on the server. Before many modern customer service tools existed. Before many major plat dupes and exploits had been shored up. Before they realized that they over-valued bad PR from offsite forums. It was very much a frontier setting.

The old threads are still out there somewhere. Most people had no idea what it took to maintain order. Tiggles was a level 25 mage who was nothing on the server. I had no GM tools at that point, but I had the ability to ban and unban people.

I made a few deals with people who had been caught 2boxing, allowing them to get a few items off of the banned characters in exchange for a character (character selling was a legit thing at the time).

I set Tiggles up with a level 60 rogue, in exchange he would act as a plant to infiltrate TMO and find the DDoSers. We had a few other techniques and resources for locating and neutralizing threats that go far beyond what people realize. RMT was a big threat to the server, because SOE was tentatively OK with P99, so long as no profit was made.

But the guy who ran the server's first plat selling website thought he was slick shit, making tons of money by exploiting the trust of his guildmates. Technically couldn't do anything without affecting half of the server's population that he had conned... until he found his bank accounts frozen and his utilities shut off. Never heard from him again after I used his real name, think he put 2 and 2 together.

But I went just as far to help people who needed it. I sat in north karana for three days in between petitions using a forage skill of 50 to do a reimbursement for a stack of plains pebbles once, when I didn't have GM abilities.

Sometimes it takes a criminal to enforce the law in a lawless frontier.

subtle server threats, how original

I hung out with Eashan and he was a fun guy, He told me a lot of EQ secrets and I don't think he's out to get the server. He did say the server will never see Velious because it will be DDOS'd by a group of people who don't like the server.

Eashan The misses and I are going to try and make it up to Boston again this summer, We need to go get some drinks, my treat this time.

If you are referring to Trakanot, the impostor dragon with 1 HP and the note that said "you suck", while two guilds poopsocked the spawn point...

Yes that was me. And it was funny as shit.

oh god lol

I got one of those notes from y'all for playing an AE song on a 150 person noble poopsock and making half the people go linkdead...but alas it is gone :(

Sirken, you seem like a cool guy but please believe me when I tell you I have never had anything but good intentions for the server and I have done a few things in the past to help ensure its longevity. However unfortunately it seems things my be coming to an end but not by my hand. But who knows maybe they just blowing smoke up everyone's ass, then again maybe not.

What ever happened with that anyway? IIRC I tried to help you out and you abruptly got super snarky with me before I could get all of the info.

The guy had a failed attempt with his shitty bot net then fucked off and disappeared. Was some epic rage.

I shouldn't have been a dick to you, you've helped me out when you totally could have told me to fuck off. At the end of the day, like life, this server isn't perfect. You do the best you can with what you have.

Eashen why do you say bad words things like "end" at us like that? Rogean's crazy driving finally end up with him wrapping his car around a tree? Irs come after him? Comets heading our way? What you got brother?

Eunomia

I do worry about Rogean's driving. I'm trying to change that behavior in an elaborate plan.

As far as the IRS, IF they decided to audit anyone on staff, it would just be an inconvenience. I can't say the same for some of you RMT'ers.

I'm going with comets.

I felt I needed to post in this thread at some point. This was it :)

Surprisingly (or maybe unsurprisingly?) most of the larger RMT operators actually pay taxes. I remember hearing this from someone who was friends with one of the larger ones. I lol'd pretty hard. I guess if you're making enough you kinda have to, huh?

Derubael
06-21-2014, 10:22 AM
Oh, and besides that, I agree with everything Eunomia said. Rogean drives like a madman, and if the IRS decided to audit any of us, the results would probably be pretty boring (and an unfortunate waste of tax-payer dollars).

Up until a few years ago PayPal wasn't required to dish out tax forms. Now its $20k in transactions with 200 unique transactions = forms are sent
