Most of you have probably never heard of me, but I run a casual faction for training and helping newer players get started. Today one of our members StoneSheisty [2949262] decided to empty our vault and take the RW weapons we had. Probably about 3b total value.
I have always known this was a possibility so I was prepared for it, especially with the influence Lat's heist has had lately. A stock block sold later and we're in the green, unfortunately the weapons will be harder to replace. I'll miss the proficience BT MP9s the most as they helped our newer players get to 15 a bit faster.
Yes, I ignored the common wisdom of giving players under a year permissions they probably shouldn't have, but this post is more of a warning to others that this player shouldn't be trusted.
In other news, does anyone have some good bounty service recommendations?
Edit:
All items and money have been returned, thank you to all of you who were supportive.
Hey everyone, just here to add a little context. This all started when Brockman mugged one of my faction members for about 3m. I did a stat spy to just to check him out and noticed he was carrying some cash. So I mugged him back for 2.6m.
At this point I assumed this was the end. However I was wrong. I woke up to bounties, merc contracts and flight delays on my members. Looking a little like this.
Seems a bit excessive, so I go to try to talk to the guy to find I'm blocked. I contact his leadership, let them know this guy is trying to singlehandedly go to war with my whole faction, and he'll probably be getting hit a few times for it.
This is obviously an inconvenience to my guys but this shit happens, it's torn. While we're chatting and sharing some of the shit he's been saying the message to Soapy comes up and I advise him to report it, because that kind of thing rubs me the wrong way.
Well I guess since he can't hit me, he decides to focus all his rage on Soapy.
I go about my day hitting him between the merc hits noticing he's changed his profile to this
I have to say I'm not super happy to see a sponsored section. That being said it's well implemented. It's clearly labeled, in it's own section, and unobtrusive.
Weaver runs one of the best free third party sites available in the game. He can choose to run it however he likes, and until there is a significantly better alternative I'll keep using it.
I'm expecting the newly added items to be used in the next crime. I don't see much of a reason to add them otherwise. However picture frames are absolutely not worth it. Circulation is still increasing last I checked and I doubt the current price will hold.
I'll be doing the other two until the price drops.
Little off topic, but from what I remember the original isn't tied to racism. It was however heavily adopted by some... rather sketchy groups, so now it has some racist connections.
It's unfortunate how some bad apples seem to spoil innocuous things.
On topic, are we going to get some merc contracts on LG or will I be waiting til Halloween?
