How to nick a character... power hungry style!
After years of playing this mud between us, myself and my good friend in rl Fearon
were unfairly nuked for 'abusing' the lawsys.
since level 15 we've been very carefull with cover steals and making sure noone see's us etc
to make sure we hardly get fines. so when i visit my friend's house we decide to have a competition to see who can
steal the most good stuff from alexa.
1 miar and one overlord enquired to us that something was amiss.. we tried to help as best we could and
got told we could continue stealing as we were and the "problem" was sorted
the first we heard about which bug we had been abusing was 5 mins after being nuked
24 hours previous to this exchange- which is after us being nuked, i was on Teclis and stole lots from alexa....
Glaurung asked me how i was not logged for stealing from Damocles, i couldn't explain, but helpes as much as poss.
The Teak asked about 12 hours later, same again...
Draugluin then took matters into his own claws, and decided to nuke us and all of out charachters on the grouunds that
we had been abusing a bug. Perhaps we had....without knowing about it i assure you though, and i was just waiting for
the fines to start coming from my stealing sprees.
Here i talk to Draug about it...
get stone
Ok.

Gilder appears from the shadows.
Draugluin tells you: Because you were doing it with a capital letter, which
caused a bug that made it impossible to be reported, which you knew,
and you never ever once got reported. And we caught you, and now
you're gone.
z LOL how was i to know what the hell c capital letter did to a steal! i used tab to finish off their names so it comes up automatically

HP:50 EP:50> Draugluin tells you: If you expect us to believe you never noticed that you
didn't ever, once, get reported...no such luck.
