Captain Awsome is a liar. Liars should not be GM. Period.

To the people who don't see proactive bot checking anymore, there is a reason for that! Our most effective tools were taken away and replaced by... guess what... THE COMMUNITY!

I am supposed to do no more than wait for YOU PEOPLE to report bots to me, and unfortunatly without the ability to be invisible (which from all accounts, people complained about as being as invasion of privacy) I am unable to check for the more sophisticated, programmed bots, because when i arrive on a map, the bot senses a GM and turns AFK. Thats all good and well, but if I start banning people who I get reports about without the proof, not only will I cop the flak here on the forums and on IRC, but the game will be left with no players!!

Now if we look at the screenshot he used to ban booth, Oh my oh my, You, cappy are a damn lair. What the server 3 days later and you can now become invisible. http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopi ... =20&t=9309 Now I know you are going to aruge that it was taken away from you, but if you look at the DEC record, it is still there.

Now about this...
[2010-01-02 14:58:08] 018-3.gat(130,36) Cappy : @goto fallenangel
[2010-01-02 14:58:17] 018-3.gat(127,36) Cappy : @visible
[2010-01-02 14:59:39] 018-3.gat(127,36) Cappy : @l Rainy and FallenAngel responded with "stop scarying us" and "go away" respectivly when i appeared and immediatly logged off, they were in exactly the same place and logged off at exactly the same time.
[2010-01-02 14:59:49] 018-3.gat(127,36) Cappy : @l i am almost certian they are bots.

[2010-01-02 15:01:22] 018-3.gat(133,23) Cappy : @l rainy and fallenangel returned just now and moved to another spot in the cave, on stack and continuing to kill


First, you are an abusive gm, you have repetitively shown that you are. These three players are simply scared of you and know if they are online you can just ban them with out cause or reason. That is why they simply log off. WHY? BECAUSE I TOLD THEM TO. Then they just saw you and left the game. This is how the players have to deal with abusive gms. If they bug you, you simply just leave. Why because they can say anything, anything at all, and you, as gm, can say they did not and ban them.


Why is this even a problem, because it was Rainy that gave me the screenshot of you, cappy, and you know it.

You found out who they where (they are in the same group as the screenshot creator), and personally attacked them. That not only makes you a liar, but a corrupt gm.

If you do not want it recorded, to not say it in public.

For the record. Cappy is now going after the group that handed me the screenshot. It is clear that he is now on personal revenge mission.

below is the screenshot used against booth.

The commands @invisible, @hugo, @linus were only made available again to the GM team very recently.

Once again, a huge chasm between dev, admin, and players. It was never discussed with the community what should happen. It was only keep secret, in back room meetings, about things that should be made public and have community involvement.


You keep doing the same thing over and over. You treat the community like it is a bunch of 3 year olds, and guess what, we behave like it.

My point still stands, Captain Awesome used his new regained powers to immediately launch a personal attack against those that expose is un-gm/player like behavior.

Once again, no one asked you not to go after botters, no one. No one asked the game ablitity to be changed in anyway. No one.

But back room meetings and personal vendettas creates a huge gap between players and developers. This gap reveals itself as lies and deceit by the developers, first because you are actually on, and by the admins later.

I wish to know when the powers where removed, why they where removed, and why return them now?


I am not asking for you to get permission for each act, nor any control over the destination, but what i really would like to know is where we are going, so if I do not want to go, i can get off.

So if it is true that the gms have had the ability removed, cappy I am sorry for what i said, you are just waging a person grudge, and you are not a liar.

But of course, as a player, there is no proof that anything that you guys say is true. Nothing writing, just your word for it.


To prove it is true, same screenshot with the two players named revealed. Once again, Gm does curses at the community, a player records the screen shot. Now the whole party that the player is part of is being attack, for botting. Why? Because it is a instant ban, no proof necessary.

For example.

GM- 2 mins to respond
player- I am here what do you want
GM- 1 min to respond
player- I said I am here what do you want
GM- you have 30 secs to respond
player- I am responding.
GM- you are banned for botting player.

Then the gm simply forges that screen later.

This is why in his own words, I know they are botters. I know it.

*sigh* auroraproject makes some good points. before I loged off 4 the day I tried 4 a town discussion on the subject of GMs and the community as a whole it fell flat other then a few players that carried on the conversation. Maybe it was unprofessional of Captain its up to the Queen to decide what to do with him. this is her Wounder Land. We are like Alice just visiting though the looking glass.

Its a Validate Question "where are we going?" the project just sits being pulled every which way. What works? What doesn't work? I dont know what goes on the inside or WHO doesn't like WHO but all of us players need to be a part of this building process.

We all need to understand this game is a baby so young so incomplete yet we make do and call it our own. Some love it for its item addictive qualities (trading goods, local economy). Others like the thought of training and leveling up to fight other players in combat to see the strongest. The magic is what drives those that love fantasy and adventure. What makes these things happen? The Players. Those that surfed the web to find a game that could captivate there attention. We found that "game" and its not complete but its still good *looks around* "yeah still good" lets all give a helping hand to are fellow mana! its like a never ending story if we wish it to be

The courthouse isn't a place for discussion, please feel free to continue in Player Talk, but as of now, your point has been made and I am locking this thread.
