You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

In the interest of transparency and my commitment to following the forum rules, I would like to address a few things.

First, the Court House is NOT a place to post a "list" of suspected botters. IMO this type of list in very problematic in any forum, but should not be allowed in the Court House to be sure.

Second, if you are reporting suspected botting please try to have some sort of supporting evidence. I.E. Times, places, screen shots etc. This can help the GM in they're investigation and also helps to protect honest players.

Finally and perhaps most importantly, I've approached this issue as a case of suspected botting where no GM was available online at the time of supposed offense. In that respect I would like to offer that I have talked with NineTails and Puddles on numerous occasions(both before this report and after) and have found NO evidence of botting at this time.

This topic will be unlocked should any affected parties wish to add anything, but please remember this is not a discussion forum.

MK :)

Talked to puddles as well. Never had a problem with him. Ninetails.. Well, we know who he is.. He is claiming that he is playing in a fair way now. So no problem there neither.

Dallas,

First: You must start a new topic if you are reporting a different player botting. A list of botters is NOT allowed in the Court House.

Second: We have investigated your initial allegations and have found no evidence of botting at this time.

Third: Please give as much information as possible when reporting a suspected botter. I.E. Where? When?(the time is in your chat window) Who? and What makes you think they are botting. For example, not picking up any drops or not responding.

We will continue to monitor the situation and post any additional findings. That being said, it's important you understand a couple of things.

1)The GM's are constantly on the lookout for botting. I personally have stopped to talk to Puddles and Ninetails on dozens of occasions and never had a problem with them responding.
2)The more information you provide, the easier it is for us to investigate and take action
3)Always try to contact a GM in game if possible. You can find a list of the current GM's here: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Game_Masters

I hope this information is satisfactory and helpful too you.

MK

totally agreeing with MK there. There is also the fact that a player is not in the obligation to reply to another player. So better to keep that in mind as well when you are reporting someone.

Just checked... NineTails replied to me... So please, like i said, it's not because a player is camping, killing and not taking his drops or talking that he/she is automatically a botter... But we'll stay vigilant as always.
