Closed Ban Appeal

Character Name: Feckboi
Last thing you did: Fm searching
Why do you think you got banned?: RWT
Ban message when attempting to log in: Soliciting RWT
What GM banned you (optional): Dimitri

The accusation is RWT. Funny cause Dimitri was in the chat yesterday and was accusing me of RWT in the chat solely because of what I was saying about the new rule change. Regardless there is an Ign in the reason for soliciting stated as 420resetlyf or something idk. I want to know what it is that I did that proves I RWT'ed, Thanks.

 

Do you know a character called 420resetlyfe? This character was played from the same IP address as yours.
Also, I have never accused you of RWT so I don't know where you're getting this from.

 

No I only have the three accounts that are my am, my hs mule, and my fm mule/attacker that I play on. I remember trading with him one time but that seemed like awhile ago.

 

So how comes he has the same IP address as you then?
Do you happen to use a vpn or play from a public internet connection?

 

Yes I do use a VPN and sometimes I play at my local starbucks.

 

Are you sure you don't know who 420resetlyfe is?
Every time he logs in it's from the same IP as yours and around the same time as well.
Also every time your IP address changes, his IP changes as well to the exact same one.

 

What do you mean by around the same time? As for the ip, maybe its because I always use the same ip? If I change my ip to other with the vpn royals will not open for some reason, it always says cant connect due to a firewall or server check and I have to change it 5+ times to get it to work. So I use that ip cause it always works.

 

Well, I'll give you some examples from what I can see here:
He logs in at 22:10 from an IP with 204.xx.xxx.xxx
You log in at 22:20 from the same IP.

He logs in at 20:15 from an IP with 184.xxx.x.xx
You log in at 20:19 from the same IP.

You log in at 00:05 from an IP with 24.xx.xx.xx
He logs in at 00:09 from the same IP.

These are just a few of many examples, but what I noticed is that every log in that 420resetlyfe's accounts have are all from the same IP as you play at around that same time.
This all feels a bit suspicious to me if you ask me, since 420resetlyfe never plays from any other IPs than the ones you use at the same time.
If the both of you are using VPNs, this guy must be really good at guessing which one to switch to so he can match your IP.

 

Yea I see how that looks suspicious and idk why that would be happening. All I know is that I have only traded with the guy/girl once, otherwise no interactions with him and I do not know of him at all. Also that name is super sketchy haha.

I think I can see why you have banned me, the ip logs are very weird, and as I am not a techy person idk how to explain the story behind them or how that works. All I can say for sure is that I do not know the character. I guess if I did get unbanned I should stop using a vpn, so this messiness cant happen again? If there are any ways you can think I can provide proof of innocence I will do everything in my effort to provide them. I play this game like 30 hours a week so I have a lot more to lose from RWT than to gain.

 

I've kind of got a different theory than it just being coincidence that the 2 of you have matching IP addresses and log in times, so please hear me out:
9 Days ago you decided to set up a small army of vote abusers that would get you some extra AP resets since you care so much about washing.
Your 4 vote abusing mules are called: EnimazicHS, DudeMyB, 420ResetLyfe and RollinRobe.
You were voting on each of these characters every day alongside your main character, to gain more AP resets than you were supposed to have.
Then on the 23rd of November we had a Server Check where we disabled AP resets to be purchased by characters under lvl 50, which ruined your vote abusing plan since they were lvl 15 characters.
The day after that you were desperate to find a new source of funding for your AP resets so you went to some dodgy website and tried to buy mesos from a known meso seller.
However you couldn't add him to your Skype for some reason so instead you posted your e-mail in the thread, which is how we backtracked it leading to 420ResetLyfe.
So because meso buying didn't go as planned, you decided to raise an uproar about the change instead which can be found here: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/server-check-23-11-16.83748/#post-438777 .
This also lead to nothing and you became even more annoyed, which is why you eventually argued with a lot of people.
Funnily enough one of them said the following to you: "if you dont see how getting rid of botters helps you, you're probably one of the botters." to which you replied "They can get rid of botters without hurting me".
It increased the amount of suspicions we had, and then today when we found your post on that meso buying website it all came together.

Additional notes which helped in this investigation:
All 4 accounts use a spoofed MAC address, and all of them are similar to your main account's.
You said you traded with one of them, which isn't true since the character we talked about has never traded anyone.
One of the accountnames partially matches two of your character names.

 

Wow that is a lengthy story.
I again am not very techy so idk what the spoofed MAC addresses mean, but I said I had one trade with that dude/dudette and I think that is true.

It seems that what is holding me into this is that you think I am the lord of these vote abusers, well I can tell you my skype name and tell you my emails and that will show you that I have not had contact with any meso sellers. My 3 accounts are not related to those people in any way other than my encounter. When I was arguing with people the day after the SC this was the first time I knew about the rule change, and as such voiced my opinion for 15 minutes, if that makes me more suspicious so be it. As you stated, I did not care about the rule change in any way other than ap resets being more expensive, if you pull that conversation up and my thread, you see that the only fix I actually want is a set price of ap resets, not a lowering of the ap buying level. So this whole motive of me trying to find ways outside of the system to get ap resets is not consistent with my highly verbalized opinion in the chat. Someone also said I should post that in suggestion threads for you guys to look at.

Again I understand the ip log in issues, and understand if you think that is enough to ban me, but please don't rub salt into the wounds with this elaborate story of all these different things I am doing.

 

I'm afraid that the log in logs do prove to be enough evidence to keep you banned yes, as the main IP that both you and the vote abusing mules have used is not from a VPN or starbucks but rather your home internet connection.
It would also make no sense for there to be 4 voting mules that log in only when you log in on your other 3 accounts, and for them not to have any owner that wants these AP resets they've been voting for.
For that reason we will continue to believe that these 4 characters belong to you, and your ban will remain as it is.
