Denied Best Posts in Thread: NewZealandMaori's ban appeal

Hi NewZealand, sorry for the time that its taken to get back to you. I've been busy.

In this player report it shows Gummibirr winning your contest. In no way did you ever indicate to him that he did not win the contest nor did you ever say that the terms of his win were invalid until long after the fact. Due to the fact that you did not comply with the contest guidelines you announced, you did, indeed, commit a scam. Scamming does not need to be the loss of money and/or "physical" items it can also be the idea of money (i.e. dice scams counting as scams but with no refund). I don't know whether or not your ban is over however, you can still argue any points you'd like to make.

 

I'm going to close this report and move it to denied due to the fact that you are now currently unbanned. Now, this isn't coming from a second hand "family member" this is actually coming from 4 years of doing mock trial, moot court, trial by peers, etc. (In short, I know a thing or two about the law)

• Contractual language is offering X for Y. Money for finding, in your case.
• By shouting that you would give a reward for finding you, you had made a somewhat contractual obligation to the parties participating in this search
• When someone finds you and is presumably the first one, it is your obligation to pay him or tell him "You were not the first one to find me"
• Regardless of the lack of money being transferred between you and GummiBirr, a scam was committed because you broke the mini-contract you made in shout

Please be cautious in the future.
