Personal mercs are fine. It's bank-funded mercs that are banned.

Idk about the second person, but SnailTrail has refused to let them bid on auctions because of the artificial inflation, so I doubt they're a multi with them.

Yep! I've seen that with the arranging coli stones thing in particular. Nothing wrong with not knowing about something.

Nabiki sounds familiar, any details on anything they did wrong?

Yep, there is a gear icon on the abilities and stats page at the bottom of the area where the battlestones are.

When you hover over it it says 'click here to rearrange battlestones that are already locked in' or something like that.

As a person who has briefly interacted with both on different occasions, I don't think they're the same person, and I didn't notice big similarities with the typing style other than internet slangs and copious use of smiling emotes, both of which I am also guilty of.

mrunicorns definitely irks me though, specially with the flipping and what the other person said about him offering 10g for an g1 XXY as if everything else mentioned wasn't bad enough already.

i think they mean incarcerated people, because of the wording of the prior sentence: "you literally have no idea who or what you're talking to."

gives me 'dehumanizing incarcerated people' vibes. or, if we're being generous, it gives me 'parent trying to stress online safety to child by invoking the Pedophile boogeyman' vibes.

They threatened a person who was trying to tell them that hoard selling is basically the game's "trash" feature by demeaning them, telling them not to assume that they were new - despite the account being fresh, so assuming a newbie making that "suggestion" that they needed a trash feature, and said (iirc) "if you were in physical space with me you would be getting the back of my hand" and then tripled down on their awful personality.

I still think it's a pathetic cop-out: what's the actual difference between a player donating treasure to their bank to buy mercs and a player spending all that treasure by themselves to buy mercs? Nothing besides who does the majority of the work, a single player or everyone. But sure, now two flights are patting their backs how they aren't using those dirty dirty bad mercs despite my flight's merc group having standing orders from multiple people on BOTH sides.

their post history is so much more of the same.

here, they get into it with Gaia and end up blocking each other: https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/sug/1089011/2

another instance of a mod having to lock their thread due to their behavior: https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/bug/1027378

not op, so idk how THEY figured out this was Royslady51, but in these threads from 2013 they say they're 50 (if someone else wants to do the math on that lol): https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/bug/953260/

Yeah exactly. You need treasure for aberration scrolls so people are trading in their gems and affecting the ratio.

It also seems to have brought nocturne egg prices down to like 220kt for a bit (was 250-260ish before) - again, liquidating for scrolls.

Wait how are they linked? Did some snooping and can't see how the two are connected.

OPAnon here - yeah, the Snailtrail thing was me getting confused on users. Other one still seems super likely.

Amazing.

Staff probably grokked it based on IP - she stated she had an old account that she lost access to or something like that.

Honestly I feel like the person who replied is either a member of the staff or created the troll account. With so many inactive accounts, and so many rude users, there's no way they made that connection organically.

DA
Or someone who interacted with Nabiki? I mean, while I cannot remember every asshole, there are a few that I had 'pleasure' of interacting personally and who therefore stick in my mind and I could easily find old posts/threads/complaints if I wanted.

NAYRT

This is probably it. While I've never interacted with them, the avatar dragon on Nabiki's account is strangely familiar to me, which makes me think they got into some drama many years ago that I just can't remember. There are few people who have acted this haughty and aggressive on the forums, so the person who made the connection probably just has a good memory for this kind of thing or like you said, had a run-in with them personally.

You are welcome. The gear is relatively small and easily overlooked.

I just knew about it because I remember both all the suggestions that came up for this to happen and the happy posting when it happened and the announcement thread (I wanna say it was done when the coli was revamped) where they mentioned it.
