Hello,
I was shocked and disturbed that this afternoon, I was banned for "duping using DrugMeUp". I don't even know how to dupe. I never have known. Never plan on knowing. Allow me to explain what happened. I come out of my room one morning and Sophie starts yelling at me "Rags! Check this out! Someone put a shitload of diamond blocks in our pumpkin farm chests!!". My initial reaction was "wait what?", then followed by "ok, this is too good to be true. Let's see who did this." So I go online and do /lb tb and I saw that no names were there. Very confused, I tell a staff member (not sure who) and they told me to go ahead and sell them. So I do. I gained a total of 11 million, and that was that.
I believe this punishment for my "duping" is VERY harsh too. I was perm banned on my 1st and only offense I've ever had. Do you not think that's slightly harsh? I'm not even asking for a full unban, just a reduced ban to whatever is fine with staff.
Again, I don't know how to dupe. I found out that DrugMeUp was removed because people could dupe with it from Yvette on a Skype call a few weeks ago, and I was slightly surprised. You can ask her about it.
Overall, I would just like to plead my innocence and hope for the best. Thank you.
That's not what I heard.
anyways. let tell what we saw.
We found over 8 blocks in soph and rag's farm that say they both
placed and
took diamond blocks by the 1000's out of light blue shulkerboxes. the blocks added up to about 37m total, around 19,000 blocks i believe.
@Frog has the math done somewhere. the shulkerboxes were placed, and the diamond blocks were taken out seconds later. I really can't see how 19,000+ diamond blocks just "appeared" also at the time. there was no evidence found of anyone placing them in your farms, just you and soph placing shulkerboxes and taking the diamonds out seconds later.
The reason this was found out about 4 months later is because I could never find proof on VC. Until just recently. and in the logs i briefly looked at of Soph talking about the diamonds, there was nothing about her asking a staff member, she logged on.
The log I have for soph, is right after she changed her name. and its the day the supposed duping was done as well. the very first thing soph does is go to her pumpkin farm, and immediately goes to warp minerals and starts selling. she then gives some out to other people, and talks about how she thinks they are rags. even though she placed some of the boxes. Rags logs in minutes later, and goes straight to the farm and starts selling. No where does it show they asked any staff member if they were allowed to sell them. unless i'm missing something.
Also, unlikely this was Die, as I believe she was banned long before our 1.12 update. not 100% sure though, but I think she was.
I'm fine with an unban for you, Rags, once this is fully sorted out. Although, I believe you know you're guilty " I'm not even asking for a full unban, just a reduced ban to whatever is fine with staff." why wouldn't you want a full unban if you did nothing wrong?
