I don't know who his main is, but I think he actually made most of his money by running the casinos. I feel pretty terrible naming his other casinos because he really was super nice and entertaining and there was a mutual trust with xfers and stuff.

Also, his DnD game. That was awesome and fun and creative. Someone needs to pick that up where he left it off.

This could have been an awesome story for a [seemingly] legit p99 noob, not to mention great promotion for Arrowed's casino. Now, it's just a mess and everybody sucks.

If you're out there, Arrowed, let's start over. I like you. Give me a sign.

And remember... "Winners don't use buffs."

Actually if you block casino by adding a level requirement and non anon and banning any other newbie, people would take it serious, meanwhile you will just be scanned.

Do you think anyone would gamble at a casino if there was no statement as to what the prize was?


Just thinking of ideas.....

A scam is a scam. It doesn't really matter what the scam was or how it was pulled off. Standard procedure is to ban the scammer, then review the items that were taken and see if they're still present/what happened to them. Sometimes we can recover items and give them back - other times we can't.

What if, for example, Arrowed doesn't have a Fungi Tunic? I'm not going to create one just because someone lost a dice roll! Casino at your own risk, just like everything else on Project 1999 - it's not our responsibility to babysit your trades! We have lots of other things to do without adding something easily avoidable to the petition queue.

Trust no one! Never share account info! Don't hand money/items over for nothing! These are really simple, easy to follow tenants that will save both the CSR staff and the players a ton of trouble. While scamming will always be against the Fraud section of our server rules, I'm going to repeat myself for the 500th time: There is no guarantee you will get your items back. If you get scammed, just assume your items are gone forever, that way you'll be pleasantly surprised if they get reimbursed.

Lastly, I'd love to see casino's banned for a number of reasons, some of which I'm not going to share. Obviously the scamming is a big issue, as is the spam, but really that's just a small part of why these need to be removed. At our next GM meeting it's on our "talking points" list. Some of you might be surprised to find out this is actually a big priority for me and something I've been casually pushing for months now. It wasn't until recently when it started getting really bad that it became clear we'd need to sit down and have a discussion about it.

tl;dr: be more careful/use common sense, casino ban hopefully incoming.

I feel like meat doesn't qualify.

We may also switch to some form of accreditation for casino operators. This would resolve my concerns, although I'm sure it would bring out the theorists en masse, but we'll see what happens. There are options beyond "just ban all casinos" but that is certainly the simplest solution.
