1) I think there were 2 petitions, 1 was from Nilly leadership for clarification. No bat phones were sent out, I can verify that as I am on that list. Nilly is part of a much larger community that encompasses other games, including Taken on blue, so we have multiple channels. It isn't hard for people to pass this information by word of mouth across game channels, this why all the IPs are different.

2) I totally agree, they can run it how they want, I am merely pointing out there are better options to take and I'm sure the community is willing to lend a hand in terms of resources in order to help the enforcement of the fairest and healthiest outcome.

I made a post about GM bannings drive down the server population in the past.

We see trends here:
Server wide repops > Increase Server Population
Exp bonus > Increase Server Population
Unbanning of accounts > Increase Server Population
Widespread account bannings > Decrease Server Population
Excessive Policing > Decrease Server Population
Excessive OOC and Forum garbage/trolls > Decrease Server Population
Excessive PvP and Griefing > Decrease Server Population

Just my opinion based on what I am seeing.

yes, excessive pvp is bad for the server

JESUS YOU'RE DUMB

Excessive PVP stops people from progressing, especially for those that need PvE gains to be competitive in PvP.

Adding you to ignore Colgate. Yet again you fail to provide constructive criticism, you degenerate pile of excretion.

This is stupid. The people posting negative comments about what's being argued have no idea whats going on.

So many people 2 box on a regular basis, which is clearly against the server rules but never get banned.

Accepting an item trade where duping or exploiting isn't involved should not be permabanned. Many of the items traded were not items that were duped in the first place and may in 50% of the cases been items that were on loan for the accounts banned.

The people that reported the issue were also Nihilum because they were not sure if this was intentional or not and thought it was intentional due to the Pledge Drive for Pantheon and also as a precursor to Velious to drive the population back up.

This is why the word 'Entrapment' is being used, maybe whoever is involved and is raising this with the 'whole of staff' is putting a spin on what actually happened. I understand this whole situation took such a long time to track and appreciate the time the staff put in this game.

They got a list of accounts involved. Run a cross query for these accounts with any item transfers that occurred in a window deleting any items of those IDs' from the account. I'm sure the community would be more than happy to help you with those queries if it is going to take too long to figure out how to do this.

Perma banning players over stuff like this is only going to suck players out of the R99 community. Nilly will just recruit new members to replace these players meaning the competition would have less players to compete with. This is the bottom line and reality. Nihilum has the best leadership on this server, which is why it thrives.

Nihilum had the least toxic leadership and zerged, which is why it thrived. At least now theres an alternative with red dawn. Cheerleading on the forums for xp loss in PVP while knowing it allowed Nihilum to stop people from contesting 98% of the time was pretty toxic.

I dont see the problem here. I read the warning about "the staff will figure out if you took items from banned accounts so you better return them", so did you. Please dont make me laugh with plausible deniability claims (about not knowing about this) with Nihi having probably the best intel passed around about whats going on that affects the server.

Again, dont see the problem. People were warned, if a reasonable amount of time was allowed to pass, to let the players the chance to return the items, and you didnt? You cant seriously cry when the ban wasnt effective immediately and had your chance on a silver platter to not get banned.

Good riddance exploiters, IMO.
