    So, am I gathering that Manni is being let back? Great.

    Is Hirgail still hardbanned? Because, really, if that's the case, this place is more fucked up than even -I- thought...

    The funny thing about this is that anyone else could gainfully apologize, as it would at least show that they're trying to appear reformed. Manni's 'crime' was to be a propagandist; this log cannot be taken into consideration because of the possibility that it's a continuation of that crime. But he--and neither of the others--made the effort.

    Well, it's funny in a cosmic sense.

    As it turns out, the average human penis weighs 4 ounces, which is 1/4 lbs. In contrast, the average elephant penis weighs 40 kilos.

    Just like a lot of the people here, you weren't 100% sure who did what because you didn't care. All you knew was that they were durms, some of them cheated, and you hated them, so they should all go bye-bye.

    Good to see you joining the 'Manni ball huggers' club though. Of course, I'm not sure if you still think that is an appropriate label considering it was part of your initial opinion of Manni and his situation; an opinion that was completely uninformed and ignorant. :D

    Exley, the victimless crime is a myth; find me a rule you can violate that harms nobody, and I'll explain how it hurts people :P

    Examples:

    Gold bug abuse: Fucks up the gold economy.

    Char sharing: Allows one person to benefit equally from another's work without taking away from the other; also fucks up the gold economy, among other things.

    Idle triggering: Increases age, decreases fines. Also detracts from people like Pounder whose age is the product of _actually playing_.

    Sean has counterarguments for 1 or 2 examples (using multiple characters in pursuit of a common goal, for example), and while I'm unable to convince him that I'm right, I don't find his counterarguments as compelling as my argument on the subject.

    My understanding of the situation (which is not complete) was that Manni got nuked for being the symbolic leader of the group, and the continued site ban was the product of rooting for DW/Delkin/Mute with their 'treason'. While I agree that cheering for the bad guys is in bad taste, it's certainly not a crime on par with the action in question.

    First of all, what's so bad about sharing a character? Seriously, what's the justification for making it against the rules?

    Secondly, according the US law as I understand it, treason is the worst crime a person can commit, Pounder. (For the record, I think that's a better analogy than the 8-year-old murder/rape bit. :P)

    I think what needs to be examined here is how Manni's cheating or whatever affected the other players. Did he do permanent or severe harm to other players, or did he merely use his powers to enhance himself or his friends at no one else's expense? That's generally the basis for all laws and rules, and his punishment should follow proportionately.

    Let me ask you something Koz, because honestly I didn't care once they were gone for good, (or someone else who can honestly answer this question), was Manni at all part of the spreading of the code for the towers? Maybe I confused Mute with him because they have similiar names and were of the same cess pool at the time.

    Well, obviously I don't think the ban should be permanent, since I clearly stated that I'd like to see Manni back (unlike Mute). I think we are really talking about different things - for you a hardban is 'You cannot fucking ever come back to the game, ya hear' and I always saw it as something that can be appealed and cancelled, as should happen now. Thats why I was viewing it as a temporary ban, - a time away from the MUD which I think was warranted until the raging emotions have calmed down. Guess we have nothing to argue after all.

    For any of you asking for Manni back, consider this, if someone rapes and brutally murders an 8 year old (one of the worst personal crimes you can do in the US), and that person is facing the death sentence, should we forgive him and let him return to society so he can show what he would do differently? (Like maybe place the arm inside a fridge this time like Dahmer?) In my opinion, the admin should consider Manni on death row and treat it as such. But I know for a fact someone will try to argue with this because they are Manni ball huggers.

    Its not like punishments haven't been repealed or as Agsded said here, they weren't enacting a temporary ban. But upon revealing a good deal of game code to the public, that honestly warrants a perm ban. No amount of whining/arguing/saying sorry should ever even allow such an infraction to not warrant the highest punishment dealt. I personally never minded Manni until that point (sure durms were bad but he himself was just annoying and hilarious at times when trying to defend their actions), but after that point there's no going back, I hope they site ban him whenever he shows up, Period.

    The initial ban was not supposed to be permanent. Valinor said, if I recall right, that it'd be lifted in a week or two, they just wanted to make the point that he wasn't going to be back in action 2 hours after the nuke... or something like that.

    I'm arguing about the initial banning punishment, not the fact that he was punished. I could argue about that too, but I'm not going to. Anything that happened after the fact (Mute releasing the code, etc.) is irrelevant to this argument.

    Permanently banning someone from the game is the most severe punishment they have. If someone goes to prison for the rest of their life, IRL, they aren't allowed out just by saying they're sorry. That said, you don't put people in jail for the rest of their lives unless it's for the most serious crimes. Most serious crime = most serious punishment. That's how it is supposed to work. He didn't deserve it because his crimes weren't serious enough.

    First you said, 'Who said the punishment was uncalled for and extreme giving the attitude of Manni when the nukes happened?' which implied that you disagreed with that statement. Now you've backpedaled a little on that and said you're 'not so sure' if he should have been banned. If you don't think he should have been banned permanently, then you shouldn't be arguing with me.

    yeah, it must have been valinor's fault mute uploaded the code and made it available for download.

    Valinor is also to blame for they accepted herkies in the guild. And let's not forget Mute sharing chars with Slugz, and Nildnab switching chars every month to deposit huge amounts of gold, and Evendim questing lbc, selling at durm's shop, logging on delkin and buying it. And various other things... All valinor's fault.

    Btw guys, if someone commits a crime, you witness and remain silent about it you are committing no crime... But if you lie to cover this guy, friends or not, it is a crime. It was his choice.

    haha. do you have any idea how many people have played slugz' char? i've spoken to people i knew on that char for years, never was it the same person. the char has been a shared account for at least 5 years.

    Trempk, don't put words in my mouth.

    I have _never_ and will _never_ turn on my friends in that manner. I do, however, ask them not to involve me if they do cheat. But for my example? Yeah, I believe if I, with full knowledge, use my friends' cheating for my personal advantage I am as guilty as that friend.

    In the case of Durms, the guild as a whole was using the cheating of a few big names to advance the guild, and Manni was certainly the one responsible for the direction Durmanhoth was following. The nuke was certainly justified. The hardban - not so sure, but I think it had A LOT to do with the fact that Manni was actively telling everyone position that there was nothing whatsoever wrong with his behavior, or with the way Durms were, and how he beat the game, and that Mute had the perfect right to release the code. Should he have been allowed to play with that attitude? I am not sure, it seems some time away from the game did a lot of good.

    Actually, I'd like to ask Manni:

    Was your nuke justified? Was the hardban justified?

    As I understand it, Manni was supposed to be banned for... like... a week or something, but the ban never came down because of something to do with Mute talking about hosting a copy of the mud. I spoke with a few powers when it happened, and essentially the result was that Valinor understood and sympathized with my position (that Manni should not have been nuked) but did not agree with it (they felt that the idea of the Durmanhoth was what they wanted to annihilate, and that Manni as the figurehead was to intimately linked with it to be allowed to stick around). In hindsight, the punishment was not fair, but it seems to have been relatively effective.

    As for 'against the spirit of the mud' -- First, I spoke to Valinor about this (like many at the time), and I felt strongly that they should have also included a list of actual rules that were broken (such as in a link that they could append to the nuke reason) as Delkin and Mute had broken _many_. The nuke reason was meant to encapsulate that not only were the individuals cheating, they were also persistently acting in a way that was very seriously detrimental to the overall health of the game. So Trempk, I think the nuke reason certainly was justified (in at the very least Mute/Delkin's case), but that it needed further clarification (which Valinor offered on the comm or in tells sometimes, but were reticent to put on a webpage, gossiper post, news item, etc.

    If someone does something to deserve being banned from the game, they probably shouldn't be allowed back even if they say they're sorry. Why? Because banning someone should only be used for the most serious offenses, not because the guy didn't rat out his friends.

    Of course he should be allowed to come back, but not because he says he's sorry, but because he shouldn't have been banned in the first place.

    If my guild members were cheating I'd tell them to stop. I wouldn't go around assuring everybody they weren't cheating and covering for them. And if I was GM I'd certainly kick them out after 1 warning. But I guess you and I differ there Trempk. I don't think there is anything odd about banning somebody for a while, and then letting them come back 6 months later when they admit they fucked up.

    Manni!

    It's sucked not having you around, I have to say. I know that I will welcome you back with open arms if you feel you want to play again.

    And at Myrddin comment of 'creating a guild that dedicated itself to teaching members how to cheat', that is incorrect.

    I was part of the Durmanhoth, and no one in the guild EVER offered to teach me how to cheat or bot or anything. Members there did it, members were taught to do it, but they asked how to do it. It isn't like we had a board post saying 'Want to earn huge cash? Want to pwn everyone? Contact Delkin!'.

    What some of the members of Durmanhoth did (You have to remember, in a guild of >80 members, only a small percentage of them were actually violating the rules. Many, like myself, were there having a lot of fun with people who were extremely cool to be around) was wrong. The problem was that it was the 'leadership' who were violating the rules. If it had only been low ranked members, the members would probably have just been nuked, and the guild left to go on.

    Anyway, Manni. I've been wanting to get in contact with you ever since the deletion. Send me a tell if you ever get back on t2t :)

    Thanks for the support, guys. I was operating in a lot of gray areas before the initial nuke and then Mute did the code thing and then everything got kinda fucked. I still disagree with the way a lot of the whole situation was handled, but I certainly have no lingering animosity about it.

    I really have no idea exactly what he's supposed to have done. We assume he knew and encouraged the cheated but I haven't seen anything to demonstrate that. Does anyone know what exactly got him nailed?

    Here's my view of the situation:

    Just as players are competing with each other for uniques, in PK, in questing, so are the guilds competing in the field of politics (war, recruitment, etc). Durms was a very successful guild. However, it's success was, at least in part based on cheating (most of the big names in Durms participated in some form), botting, mping, stolen code, etc. It is also a fact that Manni knew of this (there was some message from the Durm forums leaked about char sharing for one example, if I remember correctly). But Manni, as the leader of Durmanhoth instead of stopping this behavior, chose to use it to gain advantages for the guild as a whole. Therefore, he is responsible.

    An analogy:

    I am leading a 2man on a PK. My support warrior had his skills set to 500 by his ainur alt. I know of this, but I still take him on a kill. Am I guilty?

    He created a guild which then dedicated itself to teaching new players how to cheat, abuse, bot, etc. and didn't intercede when this happened.

    I'm pretty sure something along those lines was the reason. I'm not saying I agree with it or think it's a legitimate hardban reason, I didn't even think at the time Manni deserved the same punishment as Mute/Delkin. but I think Kozlodoev makes a relevant point.

    I guess it was because he was harboring cheaters and trying to cover up/Deny that they where cheating or something. I didn't really care about the whole deal, suspend him for a month but nuke/ban i thought was abit harsh. *Shrug*

    I didn't say that, Hirgail. I think there was a crime, but that was already much discussed. I think this log shows that Manni also thinks he did some wrong. The thing I was talking about is that there's no contradiction in allowing a person with a 'criminal record' who, at least in words, is genuinely sorry for his acts back into society, and at the same time feeling different if said 'criminal' says things like 'So I fucking did it. Who cares. You are just jealous that you couldn't do the same. Now let me play.' At the time of the nukes it was the second scenario with Manni. Now it's the first.

    Who said the punishment was uncalled for and extreme giving the attitude of Manni when the nukes happened? Now Manni's attitude seems to have changed, so, in my opinion, he should get a chance. If he came back with that same 'we beat the game, there was no cheating in durms, you just got pwned, I sympathize with Mute's decision for code release' attitude that DW is so accurately portraying I am not sure I'd feel the same.

    BkD warred Durms so many times, and to be honest I also found myself annoyed to what they were doing.(or what people claimed that they did) But that's how they played, that's how they enjoyed this game. Can I stop that ? No! What can I do? Well, I did my own thing.

    The 'it's just a game' argument doesn't really make much sense. Not everybody is so indifferent to something they've spent countless hours on.

    Trempk, maybe he doesn't want to play as an outcast where he as to hide his identity. Duh. I'm just saying what I think, I don't see how my comments sound bitter or hateful. Compare them to Daywalker's.

    I don't think we'll ever find out if he's sincere or not, but he should be allowed to play anyways - I think he's had enough of a punishment for the Durmanhoth episode and is unlikely to cheat in any way (speaking of which, we usually allow chronic cheaters that are much worse than Manni to return.). Given those two conditions, even if he's not sincere, he has the right to an opinion.

    I agree with daywalker in some points, it was indeed a great place, a nice harmony there, Manni was indeed a great guy, mute too, and delkin was a 'very nice guy' (to talk to, at least), but the last two were compulsive cheaters.

    Their biggest mistake was to bring herkies in. Mute and Delkin could have kept cheating, multiplaying in any degree they ever did if herkies were kept out. By allowing 'em to enter, stupidity spread across the halls and the guild itself got nildnabed as we all know.

In fact, if he wants to start playing again, this was one of the dumbest things he could have done because people will be looking for him now.

    You all don't know shit. Why are you idiots to judge Durms when you were never inside? It was the best damn place in the whole game that ever existed. Due to the members, due to the friendship inside and the fun we had.

    All of you whine because you got owned so badly. Whine further, it does not matter now that everything is over.

    But Manni is a great guy, Mute is a great guy, Delkin is a very nice guy. Everyone was having fun playing together.

    And you all say, XX shared characters, YY exploited a bug, ZZ is better than me.

    Hey, stop blaming the others and start playing the game? Big deal that someone exploited a bug, report the bug, fix the bug.

    This is something I never understood. If someone finds a way to get some item you have never thought existed or to make some nice cash why is he to blame that the ainur (or so called administrators) can't handle their own box?

    Manni played more than all of you and has contributed to the game far beyond any of us has done by now. Especially jerks like Jaron... Get real. Damn I am happy I stopped playing and I regret opening the logs page to check it out.
