Popular Post Blink Posted June 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2019 As I await a reply from Alex, I thought I should appeal to have my home ID removed from the ban list. My old nation first named Foxhole then Ruination did not benefit from whatever tricks my brother Pooball used. I did not know about the exploit until Akuryo first posted about it here. I am honest member of the community and feel I have been treated unfairly just because of my family relations. I ask Alex and the mod team to review my situation again please.

True King Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 If he’s innocent & banned, can go ahead and ban me before I waste time. Let’s see the proof or reasoning behind the ban. If it was done on a whim... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't comment on whether the ban was justified or not, that is Sheepy's prerogative, but here's my question. Do you and Pooball not live together that removing your home address from the ban list would not result in him simply being able to access the site? 18 minutes ago, Blink said: I am honest member of the community and feel I have been treated unfairly just because of my family relations. The problem with this situation is that it's your word against a fairly reasonable assumption. I don't think you should have been banned, but I don't think some punitive actions would have been particularly out of place. For what little it's worth, I'm told you were not interested in growing as much as you were in fighting so I'll hold off from passing judgement immediately, but I genuinely do have doubts - which I don't think are particularly unreasonable - that someone with a blood relation, playing the same game, connected via a protectorate tie, wouldn't have eventually discussed fast, anomalous growth. Given Sheepy's reluctance to actually dish out bans, I doubt he acted on nothing here. If it is found that there was a lack of information, I hope you get the ability to play again, perhaps with a diminished nation size.

Honestly, I'm not sure whether you're messing, but considering your post history I'm leaning towards that not being true. Be silent. You have nothing of value to contribute, but that is par for the course, so I won't belabour the point.

Hiroshima Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 All cheaters and their sympathizers have to be banned. Alex needs to make 9/11 look like a joke in comparison to his banning spree. 1 14 “I'm cheap and enjoy butchering” - Manthrax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant confirm which post or comment One thing I would not want someone I might share IPs with is cheat & get me banned. So I doubt they would tell me if trying to do just that, so the ban seems based on an assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blink Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) The ban is based on assumption, Alex knows we are separate people as he receives payment from two separate credit cards registered at two different home address's. If he is unwilling to un ban my Home address then I expect a full refund for all credits and awards purchased. Pooball and myself are grown men who live in our own houses the only way we share an ID is when I leave work and he starts (we work opposite shifts) banning my work IP is fair but to ban my Home isn't. I'm not even asking for my nation back I'll happily reroll. The total nation ID 116741 Ruination received from nova was funding for a NRF and a 300m loan for City 19 as I was in arrgh at the time having a break from tkr.

Popular Post Sir Scarfalot Posted June 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2019 Alternatively, we could meet in the middle and penalize Blink by taking away all of the stuff his brother gave him. If that's nothing, and there's no evidence of Blink using the cheat himself, then he's really even less guilty than a 10 city Nova Riata pubbie. Still suspicious, but an actual ban is... perhaps not warranted. He may well not discuss P&W with his brother, we don't know ?♂️ 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blink Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) I was a government member of TKR and we take opsec very seriously, Pooball used to joke he got more from Adrienne and others than I let on to him. I can't keep going over this over and over you all could see my transactions in game. A fair compromise would be to unban my home ID and keep the shared work ID banned. 15 minutes ago, The Mad Titan said: Why don’t you ask your brother to pay you back?

If you are unbanned in the future, you still are not owed any refund whatsoever, though I'm sure you can appeal Alex to do something similar. The terms of service quite literally state as much.

The first part was about information sharing between me and pooball. (it doesn't happen) Secondly thanks @Dio Brando I did not know about purchases being donations and non refundable. Just feels harsh to be banned before a investigation or even a comment from Alex was made to me, at the very least he could of spoken to me personally.

Popular Post PDunny Posted June 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2019 It feels to me that, besides the hateful trolls, there is a general community consensus that Blink should not have been banned. Banning the work IP to keep pooball banned is fine. Banning blink in general I do not agree with. As such, I cancelled my subscription to P&W. Over-reactive admin actions with very little evidence regarding it is not something I feel comfortable supporting. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with yes. Banned? Probably too much. While there is a close relation between the two, and making a connection isn't all that unreasonable, the outcome of making that connection should likely not have been a complete ban. The deletion of a few cities, or resetting of his nation makes more sense. I'd hold out and see what Sheepy has to say about this, though. He didn't dish out the first deletions lightly, and I doubt he dished this one out without real cause. Edited June 2, 2019 by Dio Brando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think something like that should be done to everyone who directly benefited from it. Banning was too far though. It's unreasonable to expect Blink to know everything his brother does. It's also far more plausible for his brother to not tell him so that the brother would have "bragging rights" about the rapid growth. If it was due to cheating than it would negate that portion of it. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
