LEFT IN GM JAIL?

[Blokeymon]

This might be one of those times where the ban doesn't start until the day AFTER the player is informed.

I mean, if you get told at 23:45 on a Monday that you're suspended for 3 days, that suspension will not count thr next 15 minutes as "a day".

Could be OP is early.

Fun story here.

About two weeks ago, I was in E4S with my static. We had bashed our heads against Titan for about three hours, and we were debating on whether or not we should continue for an hour past our scheduled time to make more progress. Our Dragoon suddenly left the party after the next wipe, so we all left the instance, believing we were done for the day.

NOPE

A GM yanked him straight out of the instance and threw him directly into GM jail. So we were listening to our Dragoon freak out over Discord comms about what was happening, and some of the other members started giving him advice on what to say. We eventually settled on 'don't freaking lie about what might have happened'. When the GM showed up about 3 minutes later, said GM mentioned things that indicated they were actually watching us fight Titan, before making the decision to yank him out after that last wipe. Our Dragoon got released like 10 minutes later with a warning.

So, the story is that the Dragoon was in a random E4N party with pugs for his weekly clear, and apparently he 'greeded' too much (I assume this means taking damage from avoidable but survivable AoEs). This supposedly ticked off a healer in that party, who decided to rescue him into an AoE he couldn't survive, which killed him. Our Dragoon EXPLODED on him, and presumably the healer reported him after the fact. (Though, this sets a pretty dangerous precedent if this is how it all really went down - considering the healer griefed using an in-game skill, but chances are GMs can only see chat logs in reports and not the gameplay moments leading up to it.)

Not... really? This story gives no indication of whether healer was actioned against at all. DRG has control over their own actions. DRG chose to explode. Excuses are irrelevant.

Probably more to the story but I'm still going to recommend everyone avoid Novice Network anyways.

The only way to win...

...is to not play at all.

Again it's funny how, when someone wh ois known or liked in the community gets banned, the responses are "Oh GMs doing poor research and banning the wrong person, what a surprise", and when it's someone people don't know it's "Yeah no, bans are justified, always, there has to be more to the story" lol

I'm just more surprised that people glossed over the OP's query. Too many people trying to figure out what happened while the OP just wants to know when a GM's is gonna pull him out of jail after he served his sentence.

Asking how to get out of jail was just a part of their post. They started off their post with bolding the length of time they were in jail and a truckload of ellipses followed by an explanation that wouldn't result in a 10 day lockout on its own. This definitely gave me the impression that they feel the lockout was excessive or that they were at trying to at least give the impression that it was. That is what people are commenting on. My take: I don't doubt that they kicked a known spammer for spamming in the novice network. I do doubt that was the reason for the lockout like they claim.

Uh okay?

Still did his time

Still in jail

Still wondering when a GM is gonna take him out of it.

We can turn this into an episode of CSI:Miami or we can just redirect him to customer support.

Most of the people in this thread chose the 40min episode.

Heck yes! I'd love to watch the science behind this ban. The extra lazy GMs make this even sweeter; some suspense.
