A couple of days ago I got hit with something that I never would have thought could happen. Someone from this league was accused of scamming other players. Normally I would have just said, "no way, not in this league", but there was a problem. The person delivering the message to me was no one less than our Founding League Master.

Messages from goodgrrrl are more than serious and after a short conversation in the IRC channel I was in touch with a player who was apparently scammed for a really nice weapon. That player did the smart thing, and had a good screen shot record of everything.

That player had already filed a complaint with Acclaim and when I contacted him, he was kind enough to give me that ticket number. Tonight I had the chance to take up the issue with an Acclaim GM and our former member has been permanently banned. Here is a copy of the chat session;

dj64 hiya
neverserv yo
dj64 you have time for a league/scammer matter?
neverserv whatsup
dj64 in my league a member named Dr3cu apparently scammed more than a few people
dj64 you have an email ticket XXX-000000 with details
dj64 the item lost was a GL12 BD +9 spear 0/1 hardness with 1 free slot
dj64 the buyer was asking for a scale and a tear, for 50kk each
dj64 screen shots are attached to that email
neverserv uh dj
neverserv I can ban the guy
neverserv but
neverserv I can't return the weapon
neverserv Its the policy :\
dj64 I said only that I would ask, and I quoted the policy
dj64 can I ask for a perma-ban?
neverserv of course
dj64 then, yes please.
dj64 nobody, but nobody is welcome in my league if they are scamming other players
neverserv He's been banned
dj64 thank you
dj64 no chance on the weapon for the usual reason, because you can't actually transfer it, you would have to re-create it?
neverserv Yes
dj64 fair enough
dj64 I will tell the guy, and take up a collection to try to get him a replacement
neverserv And tell him not to get scammed so much
neverserv thats his third time getting scammed I think
dj64 ouch
dj64 BouHbT?
dj64 he's not online right now

Update: This guy is still on the game with a character named Dr3cu__. He was in Hefei today trying to sell some of the weapons he has scammed. If you recognize anything please get a screen shot and we'll try to get this character out of the game too.
