A Heads Up and Reminder About Company Chest Privileges

[Tronoir]

tl;dr or "I don't care to read your drama": Some players stole from our FC, may try to steal from others; this is a reminder to be careful with your FC ranks and Company Chest privileges when recruiting new members.

Hello, Leviathan! I am Novaront Tronoir of Anti-Bully Rangers (BULLY) FC.

Last week we had an incident where a player by the name of Holly Dakari looted everything from Tab 1 of our Chest. I asked him about it, he claimed it was his roommate, returned everything. He remained at deposit-only rank until he left the FC of his own accord two days later.

Tonight, we had another incident where a character by the name of Kita Odh again cleaned out Tab 1, and this time immediately left the FC. A quick player searched revealed Kita Odh to now be a member of Sea of Red (Blood) FC, led by Holly Dakari.

Note that most everyone is a low-level sproutling. While it is absolutely possible that they're simply inviting random lowbies, or even that they have a grudge against us for some reason, it would not surprise me if they are sending newbie characters into other FCs to loot what they can.

I'm not trying to say that we should all be suspicious of everyone with a sprout icon; the main purpose of this post is to remind everyone to be careful with FC ranks and Chest privileges when inviting random players into your FC. GMs will not restore items that you lose due to mismanaging your permissions.

This is nothing new, but considering the volume of recruitment threads in here, I felt it would be good to have a reminder.

(And yes, I know this is what happens when an FC recruits huge swaths of randoms... It hurt my soul when I was fixing the ranks tonight and over half of our default rank was a total stranger to me)
