Popular Post Greene Posted January 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) In the absence of what I could determine as a more appropriate category, I post here. Taith is hosting a special giveaway. Since this one has real money attached to it, I wanted to put it in front of as many people as possible. To be clear: no purchase necessary, there is no exchange of goods, services, or favours. You join the server, be validated with @Borg’s Locutus bot, and then react to the giveaway. The current giveaway ends 7 March 2021. Giveaway ended 5th Feb: the winner will receive $0.02 × Locutus-verified server members. This will be paid as an Amazon egift card. Open to all members and not just PW players. Award capped at $20.00 (1000 players).

Hey, I have nothing against it. I'm just skeptical of Alex's word on this, and I don't fancy the idea of half of all the money in Orbis vanishing into thin air as all of Taith gets banned 😜 1 1 Quote To whom it may concern, I do not represent The Immortals unless explicitly stated (ergo, never.)<--- I hardly use the forums anymore, add me on discord.

Guest Zephyr Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 9 hours ago, Aqua-Corpsman said: Isn't this against the rules though... Given how the rule is written, probably not... Quote Real-World Transactions for In-Game Materials Politics & War has a limited donation system to prevent the game from being "pay-to-win." In addition to limits on Credit usage, it is against the rules for players to make exchanges of real-life money or goods for in-game materials, including but not limited to: in-game money, and in-game resources. Examples of this type of behavior would include: sending someone real-life money for in-game money or in-game resources, purchasing someone a Steam game for in-game money or in-game resources, sending someone a gift-card for in-game money or in-game resources, and any other sort of real-world trade for in-game goods. The punishment for real-world transactions for in-game materials will be a complete nation reset upon first offense, and a permanent ban from Politics & War upon a second offense. Though if we ignore the examples given which obviously imply it's only concerned with direct exchanges between players, interpretation of the highlighted part and specifically the word 'exchange' itself could give Alex wiggle room to apply this more loosely as this could arguably also speak to the consequence of a player's actions resulting in an exchange of real world goods for in-game resources (however elaborate that process may be). For instance, the Taith Discord appears to sell ads presumably for in-game resources. The prize offered here is presumably an effort to increase the value of their Discord ad space. Therefore they are arguably attempting to exchange a gift card (on the game forum no less) for an increased value to their ad space and exchange that for more in-game resources without buying more credits or being obstructed by credit purchase limits (Greene has already used 7 credits this month). However, all of the examples given imply the intent is only to address direct exchanges. Therefore it would seem that any process you can imagine where you indirectly exchange a gift card's value for some in-game value, such as what Greene is doing, may in fact be permissible. The lesson here is NPO should have consulted Greene for advice before undergoing their enormous farming operation as Greene is clearly mindful enough to properly dance around game rules. Maybe @Alex can weigh in on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not his first dance, mind you The incredible part of this being that the rule danced around here was added specifically because of Greene's actions in the past - I've got to say, his tenacity is pretty impressive, at least.

Robert Ap Ioan Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) As I see it the crux is this; is the money being used to provide in-game benefits for Taith? If the answer is yes, then there is a major issue, but, if the answer is no then what is the issue? Based on what is posted the only benefit to Taith, that I can see, is that more people may engage with the Taith social media outlets. There is no advantage for us doing this in the game, the benefits are purely out of game and actually the cost probably outweighs any advantage gained. If this was going to benefit or make money/resources for Taith, then there would be an issue. But I would contend that clearly isn't the case. This giveaway doesn't gain in-game perks for anyone in Taith. Other people may benefit from being verified by Locotus, I query if that is such a bad thing? It may encourage further people to engage in the VIP program in-game.

ernadrey11 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Unfortunately, I didn't win a Taith gift card. But I'm not upset, because I like giving presents more than receiving them. I usually order unusual gifts on the site www.jetgiftbaskets.com, which provides an opportunity to order any gift basket to the taste of even the most fastidious customer. I often use the services of this site because they are very high quality and inexpensive gifts, which cause only positive emotions. Any person will be pleased to receive a bouquet of chocolates or a surprise basket for his birthday.
