Nope....typically give the gear away for free to members.  I make some chromes from my SS camp though.  Either way, I don't manage that, and the person who does, doesn't game reps :)

They were a member of the camp before I ever joined. So it would help to get the correct facts before pointing fingers.

Kind of irrelevant when they asked for a Turin and you acknowledged tossing keys to Moth....you at bare mininum knew the account was helping Moth, and if you were like any camp manager I know, you'd make certain you knew what was up with each and every gang present. Or am I to assume you lack that level of awareness and curiosity?

So if someone remains subbed but can't play they should be punished.  If someone uses a 0.6L motor to move tones of cargo and hides behind a Pvp off flag to escape player punishment it's ok?

You are an exploiter!


He played often enough to nickname all his guys either "slow learner" or "fast learner" but played a total of zero events.  I guess hiring mechanics and nicknaming them is more fun than scouting or racing.

Or it's an alt.

did crispin have an "idea"? he seemed to be mostly just ranting about Moth in an unstructured and evidence light manner.

As tallus has ponted out elsewhere I dont play as much as i would like. I have a bunch of characters in the vault training mech. how long between events doesit take before i am just one of bastilles alt accounts?


The idea was: if Sam obviously doesn't mind Moth running and paying him for an Alt, then remove Mech skill from the gangers and make them be "legitimate" gangers (or I guess he said Use them Legitimatly, which I think meant for playing DW and not just contributing MR to camp)

And not having time to play is different from never having played a single even in two years and never playing a single even EVER.

This has nothing to do with "utilizing time", it was making millions risk free. The game items used (fuel) and being sold for a huge profit. That type of transport is normally not a problem, doing it in 20 times larger runs risk free is.

Personal gain does not have to be tied to "real" money. And we all know what was gained.

  Knad like running alt mechs?


Or telling people to route through Hemp to move Buzzers and BPUs to Morgan and circumvent the bulk limits to surprise the Alley for CoE?

He won't do anything until we create a fever pitch over these matters - LEGITIMATE, ESTABLISHED, KNOWN CHEATING, I am quick to add. Not the recent change in policy which X Man wants to point at as having been an exploit for 2 years, now (but wasn't until 2 weeks ago).

You can assume all you want. There are personal RL issues that have affected my ability to play and do the things I normally do each week. This includes Morgan defenses, camp defenses and camp maintenance. There are quite a few players I have asked in advance to help cover these areas for me over the last couple months to help in my stead. So my apologizes in advance that I put my personal life first for a change instead of taking care my "DW player" duties.

Flailing your arms and squawking at a "fever pitch" like a duck leaving a proctologist's office is not going to get things resolved any faster, but it will probably end up getting you blocked.

This issue has been brought up multiple times by other players, including myself, to Sam. Just because you don't see it in the forums, it doesn't mean he is not working to resolve it. He will make a decision once he has time to do so.

Crispin, I don't have a buzzer in Morgan, but I did have a BPU. I got it from scouting out of Morgan and looted it. Ask Snipe, he was there to verify it.

Considerijg your management of Hemp pre-dates those RL issues, and the fact the account has been around past the beginning of those issues as well, I'm not sure what any of those issues matter in this case?

And if Sam were handling the situation, why is the accpunt still there? It seems a few minutes to delwte the account is all that would be needed.

Delaying only adds to the mystery, and continues to help Hemp with mech alt gangers.

I have suggested in the past that your duties as mayor and game manager be delegated to other players who DO have the time, or otherwise that there should be multiple players with those powers and responsibilities. Sounds to me like you're obvuouspy too encumbeted tp be effective and these mechs also call into question your impartiality and honesty.

So it seems to me there is 2 sides if you wish to this. 1 is that someone was making hundreds of millions running unarmoured lorries, (would this still be considered an exploit if they had guns on them? If so to what degree? Also is it then an exploit I run unarmoured cars from town to town? Or it is only an exploit because they make more money than others?

And 2 is someone was using an alt account.

I am with Krak in that the exploit was only made known 2 weeks ago, has the player altered their travel runs? If so then that fix is sorted. (Which was never about money it was about reps, well that was the idea I got.)
What about the alt mech account? At the very least sub should be suspended until the issue gets sorted, if investigation is found to be a proper used account then the account gets re activated and reimbursed for suspended time.
However as it stands it seems to me that there is no punishment for alt accounts and they are tolerated a lot more than exploits.

Seems to me thing would be a lot simpler with open pvp to "sort it out". Just kill unarmed lorries. Easy meat. If some one is running a shell game at a camp attack their camp and destroy it.

The Thistle Farms account was unsubbed for the entire time I was managing the camp. (No gain from his mechs at camp). He just resubbed about a month ago and even then, there was no real benefit from it because of the current MR at the time was 220. Even if his account was deleted, the camp's MR will continue to be more than enough to continue with uninterrupted production.

Perhaps deleting all that exploited money could be done that same way?

No, it only adds to your frustration because the ranting hasn't produced the results you want. And like I said above, they don't help because the MR is more than enough.

Your suggestions come from biased opinion and thinking there are hidden agendas. My lack of game playing time has no affect on the positions of Mayor or Game Manager. I will always have time to help players, answer questions, offer assistance, solve problems and even handle their complaints. All, of this is handled usually within hours if not sooner. Before me, these things could take days. Maybe ask the player base how their individuals issues were handle and resolved and hear all the positive comments for yourself.

The main responsibility being Mayor is defending town. I have probably attended over 90% of the approximate 360 defenses since becoming Mayor. About the last 300 have gone undefeated (a 2 year span) and preserved all players personal gear from pirates during that time. The one lone exception was the no show loss a few months back.

And if I can still have the time to even listen to and process your personal game issues or complaints regarding others and resolving them or sending them to Sam for you, I would say its about as impartial as it gets.

Funny that he contributed so little - when in fact it was 35k or so shop points (since the prior reset).  Not a small amount.  And I have a screen shot to prove that.

Exploited money?  Come off of it.  I didn't use any exploit.  I played the game a different way than you, and different than you liked.  It wasn't an exploit til 2 weeks ago, so, any money earned prior to that....sorry, but, it's untouchable.  Fully legal and legitimate.  And, guess what I stopped doing after it was termed an exploit?

Which is it, a lack of time or not?  Cuz either you have the time, or, you don't.  You certainly have enough time to pass out produced goods and keep an eye on Hemp.  I would suggest that means ample playing time, as well.  And regardless the time you have, taking 2 minutes to look up who's asking for a Turin, and figuring out why?  Or you already knew, and didn't need to invest time into investigation.

As far as impartiality....no that's not as impartial as it gets.  That's about the lowest level of impartiality.  Like, even Sam would say something to you, if I had an issue I needed resolved and you weren't attending to it.  That's purely CYA.

I could also argue the mech alt is being handled EXACTLY as you want it, as it benefits you and your members (same as me and my then-legitimate trading helped mine).  Except, that mech alt, was always a mech alt, still is a mech alt, and until Sam deletes it, always will be.

Also....just cuz this is on my mind, not cuz it's been in this thread prior....did you notice how low fuel prices have been the past DW year or two?  If you're going to cry about my money, at least cry about the cost of water in EF versus sale price in TX, cuz that's actually where I made most of my money.  And even still, hauled 50/50 food & water because logistical support was my primary concern.  Food sells for less than $200/unit in TX.  I had it down under $100 for a time, even.

If the reps were properly fixed, it wouldn't be needed....I don't play for the PvP element, I know a lot of players don't as well, so, this wouldn't fix the game at all, perhaps for a few, but not for all.
