Activity checks are coming up. I'll be running them on 12 July, to be precise. With that in mind, I have to let the Underloch [U] know that one of their members was found idling in Edinburgh today, I presume trying to rack up time.
For the sake of courtesy, I'll leave his name unmentioned here, but all the time associated with his characters will not be counted toward your 30 hour requirement for this month. Leadership of the Underloch may message me if they so desire to learn the identity. Let this serve as a warning to other factions about the gamble you take trying to scooch in your time in the last few days this way.
Everyone who is under on time, you have a week to pick it up. Before anyone whines to me about activity requirement, given that each faction is required to have at least five active members, the time requirement can be easily cleared if each member logs an hour a day at least 7 days out of the 30 day period. Factions with more members obviously have it easier.
The 3 types weapons platforms should now work properly. One or two other screws ups have also been fixed but I've forgotten what these were. Assuming this patch works without adding any new bugs, it'll be available for other server operators in 24 hours.
There will be more updates, in particular anticheat updates in the next week. I'm aware of problems with the discoverygc.org automatic update site and will fix this at the same time.
All of the argument in this thread was answered by post 1.
Quote:NEW 10. Any player abusing the bounty system to drive players off the server, further out of roleplay conflicts, or to get around ID rules for the sake of pvp will face consequences.
Quote:NEW 12. Any character/ID may participate in the bounty system. Only the above regulations restrict involvement.
Involvement =/= Engagement rules. You can be involved in the bounty process, but actually engaging another player brings ID rules into play. Trying to put out a bounty in order to get around those ID rules is, clearly, explicitly, stated to be a violation and you'll be punished for it.
