I've been banned for the same, apparently 1.1.1.1 is a friend then.

I bet if you make a "I won't delete the virus you installed if you don't delete anything on my HD" agreement with someone it counts as being "friendly"

I did that to an extent, in that a guy left me a message like that, but the virus he installed was higher level than my damn antivirus anyway, so it was impossible for me to delete it.

Slaving inactive dudes is allowed... I think.

I hate it when game logs me off because I'm too fast though. "You are not allowed to use bots to refresh that fast" my ass. They treat me like a potential criminal. I KNOW MY RIGHTS GODDAMIT!
It's not allowed. You are not allowed to enslave your friends, your group server, or anyone who is inactive. I too have been banned as well despite my deleting the group server as a slave. After this, I don't think I'm going to want to play games with people from Bay 12 anymore.

At the very least I don't want to play with you people for a while. That is three games that I have played with three different groups from Bay 12 over the past three years that I have had some kind of problem with. Personally, seeing as I'm really superstitious about the number three being somewhat of a double-edged sword of some kind I really don't want to take any more chances.

I'm sorry, but I'm not playing with you guys for the foreseeable future. I will still chat on occasion but honestly there are too many threes for my liking. Take this however you want, but I'm sticking with my guns. I will play alongside the lot of you though, just not with you directly and in a team of some kind.

...And if you must know, my part in this would be trusting this group's and the other two group's better judgement instead of my own reason and intuition. That's usually how I get screwed up in most multiplayer games - by trusting people over myself. Either way, I'm done with Slavehack.

i got banned for "friendly slaving" too, even thought the only virus i had on someone was not done in a friendly way. Probably means I am done with SH too

I had figured that others besides myself and whoever is DishWater in the IRC had received the might of the banhammer as well. Personally I saw this coming the moment we had enslaved the group server as well as the moment we had enslaved that inactive player.

Yet I did not listen to my intuition because I wanted to trust the lot of you and see where the rabbit hole would go. I don't think I will be making that mistake again in the foreseeable future, at least not with a massively-multiplayer online game. Put simply, I don't think I should trust most of this forum in that sort of situation, or most any situation really outside of a casual chat.

...In fact when it comes to the whole "Other Games" board I think the only people I trust hang out in the Tales of Maj'Eyal thread. I think after this situation resolves itself that outside of popping up in the remnants of our IRC channel I will mostly fuck off away from this particular thread.

Isn't capturing someone else's GS and turning it into a slave completely legit? I know you can't put viruses on your own bought GS but that's not what happened is it?

How inactive was the inactive player? It's just I'd guess I have some inactive slaves in so much as I haven't seen any changes to their files since I first slaved them. Should I remove them from my list?

Did every Bay 12 member get banned?

That's... interesting.

When the mod recaptured the GS he made note of the players signed onto the group and checked them for any scripts they might've been running. Apparently the lot came up very dirty.

My account is just... gone.

Asshats. I was most definetally not doing anything against the rules. No "I'll not delete your virus" deals, didn't slave the GS, nothing.

Everyone that was on the gs by the looks of it. I'm still here. But I'm losing interest. And seeing our community blasted isn't helping my waning enthusiasm for this game.

Scripts? I have to admit I was tempted as I love changing sites with greasemonkey but but wanted to play by the rules. Were a lot of you running scripts?
