List of banned players would be nice. Anyone caught PLing their new toons should also feel the icy stone surface of the ban hammer.

I respectfully laid out why people were banned, what happened, and our reasoning behind the decision. This decision was made by the whole staff, not just me. If you feel 'the great red jailbreak' is an inaccurate or inappropriate title, take it up with Nilbog and Rogean.

I don't like to ban people. Nor do I like telling people they are banned. Wiping months or sometimes even years of work out of someones life is not something I enjoy doing. Unfortunately, some times it is necessary to do so.

And if you think this is me 'powertripping' you have lost your mind. You had best believe if that ever happens the server won't need you to point out what's going on.

So someone in jail notices the door is left open. So they walk out of jail. Down the road at some point they ask someone for a ride. The person not knowing what is going on gives them a ride. They drop them off where ever and go about their business. Later that day the jail bird gets picked up by the police and sent back to jail.

The police then go find the person who gave them a ride and throws them in jail for the same amount of time the other person was jailed for.

Sounds about right?

No, because those people would be doing the equivalent of a transfer, and are getting unbanned.

It's more like letting that convict live in your house, and not telling the police they were there. Then when they show up to arrest him, you say 'i'm sorry officer, I didnt know he was a convict! I just let strangers stay in my house cause I'm a good person!'

The moral of this story is don't hang out with people who have dirty whistles. They might get your whistle dirty.

If you want to look at real Lawyer'ing, this is it. Derubael is right, ignorance is not an acceptable defense of the law.

Also picking up someone on the side of a road is against the law, for this and similar reasons. Hitchhiking is illegal in most of the USA, too many dumb lawyers arguing for ignorance.

So what if a old friend shows up at your door and ask if he can stay with you for the day. Being an old friend and not seeing him in a while you say sure. Then later that day the police shows up and arrest him. You do nothing to stop them and explain you had no idea they were escaped from jail. Then you are arrested, convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

See the injustice?

The really critical difference:

1 is real life where there are laws and you have rights.

1 is a free video game where volunteers clean up the messes of ungrateful d-bags and then listen to other d-bags complain about how the mess was cleaned up.
