You do not want to know what happened before, I will tell you of a very unfortunate incident that happened almost a month ago, I lost highly valuable weapons and objects from an enemy mortar strike, the game proved unfair to me for some reason as the items disappeared way before the estimated decay of 90 seconds for rares. feeling disoriented, i stopped playing this game for nearly a month from this. i only resumed playing this game a bit later after the new update with the new weapons were added. this drove the prices for the older rares down. until then, it was unheard for me of for me to see kriss and barrets sold for under a thousand rp as those originally were around 2-4 thousand. took me a while to realize it, had trouble forcing myself to adjust, meant i lost alot of potential gains.with the newer weapons going in, i had never sold a weapon over 20 thousand before. but for the more common rare weapons, i sell them at 2x-3x value. have been always been. its that the status of being the rarest weapons is what drives the prices so high, now with the update, micro and barrett arent the rarest anymore so the price for them has stabilized.
You seem to be mistaken as well and still relatively misunderstood. that was my way of trying to force him was to expose him more. He was fortunate to make some damning statements that i was able to record down from camera in transcripts to gather more evidence. the fact that i did that was to see if he actually have a lahti, which he did not. it is more immoral to find lie about something you do not have in the first place and run off with the funds then do. my goal of forcing him to comply was to see if he actually have one and to expose him more, since i did not expect him to give one out anyway.
I now come to reason to suspect BLACKARROW is MADCAT
Ill be fortunate enough to tell you the full story, over a month ago, a person by the name of MADCAT was a very high profile serial teamkiller who somehow could cheat tk bans and teamkill people without punishment. it gotten so serious that jack was personally brought in to confront MADCAT. by your definition of "threat", jack threatened MADCAT with a IP ban if he stopped doing what he was doing. but MADCAT, arrogant and defiant, openly and boldy taunted, harassed and verbally assaulted him and his company and the game itself. jack reasoned with him, despite all this, MADCAT was still defiant. jack then went back and promply reset MADCAT's account progress, it was highly controversial to have player personally verbally assault a dev like that, im shocked and disgusted at that type of conduct. jack was a very lenient and as punishment only reset his account progress. MADCAT was finally able to behave. that is a rare success story how the worst of the worst turns relatively the best amongst the worst. except in the case of MUNCHMUNCHMUCH, longest serial teamkill despite countless warnings from dev, finally banned.
seeing such similar demeanor and defiance is what really convince me people really wont comply, but on the good side, it exposes them more. the more BLACKARROW talked from my "threat", the more evidence i gathered. my tactic worked. seeing this type of conduct just makes me think of MADCAT again, and i suspect its him from the beginning as he actually really hates me even on after his punishment.
Telling me(as I already actually knew) that you quit the game for a month due to loss of funds does not strengthen your point, it only further suggests that you are emotionally overinvested in RP and therefore likely to engage in drama and coercion in order to try and gain it.
Overselling a weapon by 2-3 times is scamming. This is the case because there exist no costs to buying and selling and holding weapons ingame, so the market rate is very nearly absolute, meaning that a fair deal has almost no profit for the reseller. The only way to sell weapons at 2-3 times their typical price is to exploit those who do not know any better.
I perfectly understand what you are saying your purpose was, I just think that what you are saying is a lie. You admit to having a great deal of attachement to ingame RP. You regularly brag about how much you have. You told him you would drop this if he gave you the Lahti. The reasonable conclusion is not that you are trying to incite him to get him banned, but that you are trying to coerce him in order to get RP/Items.
Blackarrow == Madcat is frankly ludicrous on the face of it. Yes, I suppose it might be possible that blackarrow is secretly another player who has returned after his absence to extract his terrible vengeance of 30k RP upon you. Clearly the person who was able to tk without punishment would revenge himself by scamming you out of virtual money.
My definition of threat is the normal person's definition of the word. Dev's actions are completely different because they are not aimed at personal gain, but for community policing reasons. If you as an ordinary citizen tell someone that you'll send the police evidence that they stole a watch unless they give you 2000 dollars, you have commited the crime of extortion. If the police tell you that you should stop standing around on the sidewalk or they'll ticket you, they are giving fair warning before they take their legally permitted action in hopes of resolving the situation in a more amicable way.
