Best Posts in Thread: How is this legal???

The only people that I've done this for is for people who haven't been online in 60+ days (made sure their towns data is gone) and people who are banned. Not people who just don't play that often. Additionally, the warps that I moved were all in a dangerous area, so you can't even teleport to them. Hope that makes sense.

 

I want Diana's pwarps than.

 

You guys are like toddlers that don't even want something until they see another toddler playing with it, and then they throw a hissy fit because now they want that thing too.

 

See, this is dumb. If the staff find a pwarp owned by some inactive player, delete it. ? dont give it to the first palyer to ask.

 

Requesting for all pwarps that are owned by innactive players (60+ days) to be transfered to me.

 

if someone can't be bothered to be active why do they need it

 

Thank you, but you still haven't answered why this wasn't done in the first place. It's totally wrong to just give them to certain players without giving anyone else a fair chance.

So you were giving away these pwarps for free? Why shouldn't everyone get the chance to own one of these outdated pwarps?

 

If it wasn't legal staff wouldn't have give them to the player so.... Maybe they should've stayed active

 

There seems to be 3 main complaints that arose from this thread. Im going to try answering each one as fully as possible, and then i'm going to get a milkshake.

1. How is giving away pwarps legal?​

A. Giving away pwarps seems legal because the players that the pwarps are taken from have all been wiped with reset towny data. Additionally they all have been banned and each pwarp was unusable because it was dangerous. Staff took pwarps from inactive players that should've had them wiped so they can keep circulating around the active players. Meep gives full notice that anyone gone for more than 60 days loses their stuff.

2. Why didn't people have to pay for the pwarp they recieved?
A. People didn't have to pay because there is no way to pay the server for a pwarp transaction. The only possible person to pay would be the supermod giving away the pwarp, but it would be seen as a scam if supermods were taking old pwarps and selling them, so instead they give them away for free so they dont earn an unfair profit.

3. Why didn't everyone get a fair chance at claiming a pwarp?
A. Well according to @DwarFmorf101​

Therefore we can tell that there was no special privileges to special people. Anyone was allowed to find an claim an abandoned warp, some acted on it while others didn't. Apparently a ton of people actually got one after it was made public, so if someone didn't get a pwarp I assume its because they're lazy and don't really care.

I'm getting a strawberry milkshake just in case anyone wanted to know the flavor!

 

So can you then accses what is left of this players money and give that to m? Sins basicly what you did then is that you gave them something worth 30000 meebels for free from anotehr user? How is that not theft? You take something that is not yours without premission and give it to someone else? Or did you have premission from the player that owned the pwarp to do that? If it was a auto reset i would understand it because then everyone has a chance to get it, but giving it to players can make it look like ''oh i like you so i will give this to you'' that is a terible policy. Unless there is info that i do not have. And yes i do agree that this is a mistake. #learn from it.

The fact that you are defending something that stands agianst the rules makes no sense to me. The fact is you can't say when a pwarp has been abandoned, is it when a players towny data resets? Is it when a players money resets? When is it? If there was a automatic system that reset it like with towny data there would be no issue. But when a staff goes ahead and does this without any premission from the owner of the pwarp, it is theft. I think this is a mistake and there is a simple solution to the issue. And that is to learn from the mistake and not do it. Another thing is that pwarps like /pwarp shop is worth a insane amount of money. If a player was inactive for 30+ days and it was given away and that player came back then what?

 

So after a bit of discussion here is what's going to happen at least until the Pwarp tax gets fixed: tell a staff member to delete the inactive pwarp, and we will put it on a list then delete it on a random date. That way 1) Inactive pwarps aren't sitting dry for years and years and 2) Everyone gets a fair chance at getting a pwarp. We are sorry for the confusion of all of this, but hopefully this will clear it up.

 

Players balances do not get wiped ever. They used but they quit doing that who knows when because that is meebles they earned and should still have upon a return.
