Quote:Game Masters will impose sanctions on players for violating the following rules and for any actions that harm server gameplay.
Consequences:
After being told, personally, that Faction Shared Ships no longer belonged to an individual, but were the property of the Faction and after we had made an Announcement to the effect, you then decided to steal six ships from the Faction.
It has been decided to give you a 3 month holiday from the Server.
[indent]If you require evidence, you may request such via PM from a Staff member. Only the accused or an official faction leader of the accused person's faction may request such. Once you have the evidence, and if you wish to dispute it, you may post in the Sanction Thread below. Do not continue PM'ing a staff member, as that will result in your Appeal being denied. If you PM a staff or post in the sanction thread and you are not directly involved, you are consenting to be subjected to the reprisal of my choice which may involve in game repercussions up to a ban. Blaming members of your immediate family, neighbors, friends, pets, and assorted Orcs, Trolls and any other legendary creatures may result in the use of GM Right #CTE 750AE

Give him an inch and he'll take an ell. This explains the whole situation pretty well.

Quote:-- Game Masters are obliged:
To develop and safeguard the health of the Discovery Freelancer community, official server, and forums.
To be fair and treat all players equally, independent of their level and faction alignment.
Not to ignore any cases of server rules violations that are reported.
Yes, i am disputing the sanction and especially the way how the staff defines "stealing" and "harmfull behavor", while you turned a blind eye at the evidence i had submitted and explained you the overall situation within the BDM. Everyone knows that i built up the BDM and almost all of these ships belong me. I did document all our shared ships on a google table during my time as faction leader, for the case the owners want their ships back. This was an agreement we had implemented in the BDM HC and continued to use when i passed over the leadership. Geoffacake knows it and can't deny it.
The date of which the table was edited last, just in case somebody is trying to change it in the last minute. Geoffacake is the owner of this table. http://abload.de/img/dateauky9.png
My ships were certainly not meant to be a gift. Alone the idea that i would gift an entire fleet with 14 CAU-8's and 13 Cloaks worth of a few billions of credits to a OFL that turned hostile and expelled me, is totally absurd. Like: "Hey we don't need you anymore, but we want your stuff. And if you don't give it to us you get banned."
Quote:Due to certain issues recently arising, it has been decided to make plain the Team's stance on OF Shared Ships.
Shared Ships become the sole property of the Official Faction.
If a Member wants to lend Ships to an Official Faction, then it needs to be recorded within an ooRP Section of the OF Threads, stating that the Ships are 'lent' and still belong to the Donating Person).
Just because i'm not part of this faction anymore, and just because the evidence is located outside of OF Threads, it shouldn't mean that the OFL has the right to confiscate all my ships i had shared and can dismantle them as he pleases. You are literally punishing my generosity in sharing and reward the greed of the OFL in question, at my cost. You also implemented this new rule only to spare yourself from paperwork. And this is certainly not fair nor is it safeguarding the server's health in any way, given that the staff is ignoring present evidence here, also because it is impossible for me to write a post in the appropriate forum section of a faction i have been expelled from. This and further trouble could have been avoided if the staff had interfered into this much earlier as requested by me.
So i must ask you here, what causes more damage? Giving back the ships to the true owners or promoting rogue leaders for being greedy?
On basis of the submitted evidence i'd hereby like to file a counter-report with the exact same rule violation. As both sides (Me and Geoffacake) did not come to an agreement in past and probably won't in future, i'd like to request the deletion of said ships and all the equipment he moved and tries to move as we speak. I do not agree with this bann as this action could have been avoided if the staff had recognized my evidence much earlier.
Just that you know. The damage that was done to me is ~20,328,430,780 SC heavy. I will never be able to reearn this amount of cash as i do not have the time anymore like i had ~10 years ago. All this only because one guy got triggered by a ridiculous misunderstanding and then went rogue in panic of losing powers.
I deeply regret to have ever shared any of my ships. I also deeply regret to have tried to settle a grudge between two parties which had different views to a planed development change. I tried to limit damage. What i got in return was this.
One month has passed now and i'm slowly wondering if there is even a little bit of progress in this case. Time alone won't fill this hole. It's just getting worse.
- Why do you ignore evidences?
- Why do you allow a guy to use ooRP information from a dev/government chat for his RP?
- Why am i getting sanctioned for 'harming gameplay', when the other side has a free pass for demolition?
This is ridiculous. No wonder that people get pissed and leave if the staff itself has lost the sense for reality. I was also surprised to see one of my MND ship models being silently implemented without any credits in the patch notes, against my consent. You just took my unfinished Krähe model from my Thuringia test files without informing me about it. The agreement we had included the relevant system files only. You lost no word about the ship i was testing. It is absolutely disgusting how you confiscated my work and gave it to a person that hadn't contributed anything to it at all, as a personal trophy of this fiasco. Good luck with this mentality. If this is how you want to build your mod uppon, then i do not want to be part of it anymore. Luckily you have the old, unclean version with holes and overlapping vertices.
Your mistake is to believe that Discovery is the only mod out there or Freelancer the one and only game. Maybe you can censor all the negative feedback on ModDB and elsewhere, but people will find out anyway. You don't even need to be an expert to see that this place has past it's prime. Discovery i know from 2011 is long gone, together with all my friends i know since this time. Given that i'm still banned and got left behind with no explanation regarding my appeal or my requests at all, i decided to make it official and join the leaving part of the already sinking ship.
I will leave this notice here because i do not want to argue with anyone here, because its fairly pointless to waste more time and energy in overcoming the already massive salt rocks disco became famous for lately. For what even? There's nothing left worth to play. Everything here has turned into a gigantic powergaming and dickwaving contest. And those who have the balls to leave are suddenly the toxic ones? Absolutely ridiculous. It shows once again that some people here have serious issues to accept the reality.
Simple put: This game is not fun anymore and not worth my freetime.
