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.

1. The single person who reported the issue prior to the ban's taking place.

It's not as if all these accounts were randomly logged on. Someone logged one banned account, let everyone else know what was going on. Then people logged other banned accounts and helped transfer items. I'm sure no batphoning for usernames/passwords of banned accounts happened either and they we're all logged in on seperate IP addresses.

2. Its a free server staffed and ran by people that receive nothing for doing so. They should take the easiest path when dealing with this sort of bullshit.

Can we talk about this part again? Also what happened to the original ghost post? and the one where the orig owner chimed in? and did Colgate just get banned b4 my eyes?

this is like primetime special material

the character Ghost was made by Doors aka Took, and he eventually sold the character(i think at level 50 in classic?) to the current owner of Ghost aka Mrzek who is a member of Nihilum

he was complaining that the character he had put 2 years into and had played since server release got banned, but that's bullshit because he bought the character like a year, maybe a year and a half ago

think i got forum banned for a month because i might-have/probably called someone a faggot

not sure

just says "hatespeech" which gave me a real good laugh

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

about 80,000 nillies crying in this thread (okay, maybe just 8)..................

you 8 deserve it.

retti on the other hand was smarter than yall, and he escaped scot free with his dastardly pixel procurement plans

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.

AHAHAHAHHHhHAHAhHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahhahahahahHAHHA hHAHAHAHHAHAhahahahahhah

Just so you guys have a much better analogy to use, along with a precedent for unknowingly aiding in a criminal matter, I suggest you look up the expression, "His name is Mudd!"
A doctor has a man show up with a broken leg, so he offers the man medical attention and afterwards the man leaves. The man turned out to be John Wilkes Booth on the run after killing Lincoln. Dr. Mudd was arrested for aiding and abetting a criminal, and though he was eventually released, the doctor lost everything he had for helping a person in need, which doctors swear in their oath to do.

If I had been on, it's quite possible I might have been caught up in this since I like helping people and have no fucking clue who is/was a banned character. It would suck, but justified or tyrannical decision, it's still just a damn game. It's not exactly hard to level a toon, I soloed several.
It's human nature to feel like no one has ever suffered or been oppressed as much as you have, but try to get a little wider perspective on this situation. If the worst thing that happens to you in your lifetime, or even in the last year, occured in the course of playing a video game, I'd say you're a lucky motherfucker.

If all my characters got banned it wouldn't even be the worst thing to happen to me in the last couple weeks. So, let's try and calm down and try collected and well-mannered approach, because insulting people is just going to make them more defiant.

Deru did say in one of his first posts that there will be exceptions for those who merely played middleman and did not receive items for themself. If you are truly innocent you should be confident you will be cleared and playing again soon, and enjoy the vacation from the computer. It is probably long overdue.

Hence the desperation posts from the scum of the server.
