He tried to do it the smart way, but not very successful.

Found out earlier today that I was holding on to other people's crits until they return. Waited until a couple of hours later and pretended to be one of those people, asking me for "his crits back".

If you are training crits for other people and suddenly get the request to "send them back" to the account name Brucelee, don't fall for it. Verify that the person you are talking to is really the rightful owner of the crit you are training.

This stunt got him into a bit of trouble today, but I think he might try it again despite warning.

[Onlyme]

already the try *thieving* should be banned
and not just a day ban for couple houre`s

[Satterlee]

also.. he likes to start fights in town.. but hes a little scaredy cat and wont come out of town to duke it out.

[Prophet]

Thieves suck.

/t saterlee Neither will you...

Thanks for the warning Lady_Maha.

People that try to steal other peoples hard work is the lowest kind of low.

I know that the staff does not support sharing, trading, or otherwise using other peoples crits. However, I myself know that I do watch/train for other people when they need to take a break from the game. I currently have 3 entire accounts and I do make sure the crits are taken care of. Perhaps something that people can do is establish a series of questions and or passwords within a private conversation before taking over training for someone releasing the crits ONLY when the answers/passwords are given.. using only an account that both people have access to.. even getting an email .. or posting upon the forum that they are requesting the characters back so that there is a more public record may help. I know that this is not going to prevent all problems, but, it may eliminate some.

Also, perhaps one should not let someone train that they don't trust.

Just my two cents.

Good day,
Amy of Draco

Also, perhaps one should not let someone train that they don't trust.

There's been cases where others have trusted the person and the trainer of the crit took advantage. We shoudln't have to question someone else's loyalty that we trust. I can say.. that I trusted way too muich and basically ended up with nothing.

I'm glad there's people like Tanja around.. who actually catch thieves and inform us not to trust them.

[Stigmata]

If you are going away don't send anyone the crits, just give them the password to your account to log on and keep them safe. That way (like amy pointed out) only you and the person you trust to keep them active will know the pass, so should the time arise where you want to log some on you'll be able to do so as normal without having to ask someone else for them back.

Thief is a punishment worthy of stat change.

[Xlithan]

i was one of his "Victims". He asked me if Maha was holding my crits, and i said i posted my forum name and pass on the forum and she got their first. And he was asking me what my crit names were, but i told him to just moose off lol. He then said to Maha ingame... "I knew i shouldn't have put my account name and password on the forum" pretending to be me. What an idiot....

[Thunderja]

Nah forget about this guy been a thief, someone said fk at SGH punish that with an iron fist first!

Ty for the heads up Maha.

[jurian]

lol i thought this guy got a comp ban from this? also afterwards he tried to convince maha he was me. but i have access to my own crits lol. stupid retard

[Lady_Maha]

8 hour comp ban... he should be back by now.

Edit: He knew I had crits from several people, so he never told me who exactly he was supposed to be even though I asked him, hoping I would mistake him for either Jurian, Doug or Ste, since I am holding on to more than one person's alts.

When he noticed that I wouldn't fall for him being Jurian (I stated that Jurian still has full access to his alts) he kind of fixed himself on Ste, since he managed to get a hold of him on MSN and ask about those crits.

Theft imo should be punishable but full deletion of all accounts, and possibly a permanent ban.

[Lady_Maha]

Also watch out, because he is offering to "train your crits" for a really cheap price that looks a bit suspicious.

[jurian]

why isn't this guy perm banned yet?

[Epic]

Because he didnt do anything?

[jurian]

he tried to steal but failed. that's something.

[Epic]

attempted theft, thats a new one

[jurian]

if someone breaks in to your house and you catch him before he actually stole anything he still doesn't get away with it. same with try'n to break into a house.

[SABE]

so he is suspicious not quilty

[jurian]

he was cought try'n to steal. i say guilty. ppl get arrested cuz they are suspected to be terrorists and stuff. why not get this guy banned too

[Lady_Maha]

Actually he is guilty. Attempted murder is still punishable and so is this. He did get an 8 hour comp ban for trying to scam me into giving him other people's crits by impersonating them. The IMPERSONATING being the punishable part.

He was warned not to do it again, so now he tries to get people to send him crits to train, which unfortunately isn't punishable.

Lets jump back to reality really fast here...its text, its not someone in your house, its not someone with a knife up to your throat...he didnt accomplish anything so leave it at that

[Da_J_Mooney]

/nod Epic

Nightmist is NOT real life. Don't bring real life aspects into the game, for that's all it is, a game.

[jurian]

nm is a community with rules/laws just like rl.

[Lady_Maha]

Fact is he did get punished. Surely JLH doesn't punish people out of a sense of humor?

[Sourcream]

If Jlh decided to give him an 8hr ban then its reasonable. If it was more serious dont you think Jlh would give a more serious Punishment then a 8hr ban?

He did something wrong and got the reasonable punishment for it soo its done leave it be.

[Lady_Maha]

The reason for this thread is to warn people not to trust him, simple as that. His offering to train crits "really cheap" now is more than likely simply another attempt to get free crits, only that in that case JLH won't interfere, since sending crits to train isn't supported by staff. I know I don't let other people train my crits, but there are plenty of people out there (yes, noobs mainly) that will jump at the offer of having crits trained for them cheap and then lose what little they have.

Simply take this thread as a warning about the guy, then if you still want to send him crits to train it's on you.

If you don't like warhing threads, simply don't read them.

[Ryuku]

I train peoples crit for free, only my good friends though.

[fallen]

I have nvr heard anything good about that person ermmm ever
