power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

i heard some1(current phrak/mistu HC) who was closed by pa-team did offer money 2 jolt and pa-team to get him + his *multies* reopened....Pa-team didn't want 2 open em, and now jolt made sure he got reopenend....

don't know wheter i tell the story 100% correctly, but i just wanted 2 share this rumour with you guys



[edit] dunno what actually is with the HC from phrak and mistu atm since they merged, so just put down phrak/mistu [/edit]

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

This sounds like rubbish tbh.


wild speculation.


im told on regular ocassions to shut down threads on these boards which openly critisise her Majestys Government.

The man who asks me to do it is the Prime Minister himself.


'do it or be killed'

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

person in question is BBW or BigBadWolf... also known by his fake/multi Ironic...

now reopened after jolt threatened to fire the pa rep if he did not reopen the accounts in question...

i'm guessing a denial from dom is required on this one, and given his community presence i can't see that happening. you know the saying tho, no smoke without a fire, just a case of who's burned i guess

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

oh, i heard that they initially refused, so this BBW had to send his custom S.W.A.T Team to the jolt manager house, and kidnap his daughter, and treathen him to reopen his 100 planets + accounts in exchange of his daughter release.

Oh, by the way, he would release her when the round would be over, to make sure that they wont close him again before round end.

better?

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

The case in under review, there's been an argument put forth that suggests that there could be an innocent explanation for apparent multying and we are looking into it. In the meantime it was felt the fairest thing to do was to re-open the accounts, although if the evidence we have is proven to be correct then the accounts will be closed again.

/me slap mist

i am a regular player like all other players in this game, i know all my stuff by listening to door.
tho i must understand, if PATeam close a multi, i just need to send a mail to jolt, yelling and saying im going to sue their A$$ and then i will get reopened until the case will be reviewed (by our day, this will be very very slow and i am sure the guy will be able to play until end of round )

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

Mist - I was told to re-open the accounts. If you don't do what you are told to in your job then usually you don't keep that job for long.

In general I think this situation has been blown out of proportion a bit, as someone who has spent a lot of money on planetarion accounts it is important to get the decision correct and therefore I don't think it is unreasonable to take steps beyond those normally required when dealing with possible multi accounts. If a suitable explanation for the information we have isn't forthcoming then he will be closed like any other multi.

Who told you?

Someone who knows the ins and outs if the game? Or someone who doesnt really know anything about the game, and probably doesnt care?

And what are pateams views, and Spinners in particular?

If that happens an eternal webbie will go up, and passed around all good alliances (and some rubbish ones too).

Hiding the truth wont happen, and im sure no-one in pateam would try (or want ) that to happen.

Someone who is in charge of Jolt might be silly enough too though

so, basically, if you pay jolt enough they'll look the other way? i'm hoping that's not the case, however the way you put things it sounds like it is. i'm not sure how that CAN be blown out of proportion. from what you say, i get the impression that it's bad to multi with, say a couple of accounts, yet if i buy 20 then jolt will roll out the red carpet. from where i'm sitting that has a serious impact on gameplay, and therefore is very important.

implying that the steps usually taken, ie planetarion's regular multi hunting, are inadequate?

so, either he was closed without being guilty, in which case when's someone going to be repremanded over it, or he was closed due to guilt and has been reopened while, by your own admission, he's not been proved innocent. how is this like "any other multi"?

from where i'm sitting, it looks like someone's cheating on a large enough scale for their money to buy them special treatment. hopefully that isn't true, but i can't think of any other explanations at the moment...

ps, this is all opinion or quotes, and is probably a vast misrepresentation of the truth. don't send the lawyers round. ta

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

No mist, we're not looking the other way. The accounts are open subject to a suitable explanation of the discrepancies we have found. If there isn't such an explanation forthcoming then they will be closed again.

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

don't you know by now.. pateam don't give personal opinions it ends up being mis interpretted and making things worse ( i should know i used to do it enough)

plus as biffy works for jolt .. technically whatever he says is whatever jolt say and thus is bad business practice

is it me? or i see in this post a little bit of contradiction and some paradox?

IF .... he will be closed like any other multi
so basically, you are telling us that because he spent a lot of money on PA account, 1. he get a better treatement than any other multi, 2, he is not a multi as you said he would be closed as any other multi, 3. steps beyond thoses usually taken? i know that MH close account when its a multi, did phil sent 2 big guys at the account holder to break his legs and we DID not know about this?
or did he unreasonnably went beyond the power he has been given?
if we cannot enforce the EULA on users, and get every 2 seconds a jolt representative (with all due respect to you mr biffy) bypassing the PATeam, then what power the PATeam has exactly?
should we invoke chaos and show jolt what their measure can bring on PA? self-destruction for the 3rd times???

i am dissapointed in whats going on.
its just my 2 cents.

i never said you were looking the other way, i just implied that someone might not be seeing straight.

i'm going to go out on a limb, and assume that all other closed accounts which have protested innocence have been reopened while they sort out their stori... explanations as well then?

'lol'

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

All rather scarey but ultimately I can't say im not surprised.

However, as an aside, in this GAME If someone really wants to go that far to threaten legal action does this mean we all have to have legal disclaimers in our signatures ?

I mean we wouldnt want to accuse someone of cheating/multiing/blocking and then receive a lawyers letter suing us do we?

And besides I thought the agreement was to protect the honest players. Why one rule for one and another rule for another ?

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

alch - I'm saying that if someone brings something to the attention of Jolt with an explanation that, on the face of it, looks like it may be plausible then we have to look into it. I do this with other areas of Jolt (such as FPS games) when there are complaints made about action taken by our admins there. In this situation we've been told to look into it in a specific way i.e. the accounts should be opened whilst the person in question is given a chance to put across their side of the story to the evidence we have.

i dunno forest people can still be done for farming (as long as the farm isn't a multi planet as they can get away with that)
and they can be done for putting incorrect details in at time of signup

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

will you be changing the eula to reflect the fact that multis are now accused and left open while they make their defence?

So if someone complains, then u will reopen and look into it further?

Surely that smacks of desperation, and every cheat in the game will be doing that.

And Karm, i think u will find now that Jolt will NOT close for putting incorrect details, and that again mkes cheating more easy.

The question is why this case is different from all other cases of suspected cheating, where the accounts in question are closed while investigations take place.

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

so basically if you pay for 20 accounts you get to play them... as after all it's getting jolt money simple logic really... why didn't anyone think of that earlier:/

Re: power abusing by jolt (bribings!?) :)

so what your saying Biffy is :

If the hunters close you just scream FIRE (meaning file a complaint) to Jolt and you will be open?

Don't think thats a good way of doing things.
And I think a fair explanation is in order here.
