An important update:

Due to a specific person being a complete child, comments are going to be screened by default.

This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained.

(This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post any doxxing attempts unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff/authorities.)

Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.

(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)

Account made in January this year, and yet they had an imp scroll on the AH. Their story in XYZ1 makes no sense, about a friend doing art for a G1 imp-- okay, how did a scroll come up then? They're super suspicious and asking people on discord to DM them for the info about the scroll.

No evidence from me, but it sounds like someone who bought it RMT, then flexed it without having a believable story lined up. Their discord was also made in late October this year.

Oh yes the good old DM me over Discord so the FR staff can't moderate what I'm about to say about X. Wondering if they're trying to resell it for rmt. Why else would they encourage people to ask questions?

Can't like their dragons anymore so seems like they were banned already, lol

I still can for some reason so I don't think they've been banned...yet

I still can! Maybe they were frozen for a moment during investigation? Is there any chance you were logged out in that window? I know I've scared myself by doing that before ^^;

Same here. How are other anons able to like the dragons as of today?

Re: HOVERCRAFT

I'm one of the anons that mentioned being able to like them- and I just wanted to say I no longer can, so it struck sometime after I looked at their page.

Apparently, they've said very different things about how they got the scroll to different people.

Total instinctual statement here, but it seems like a side account to me. No activity from when the account was made until this summer. The Lorwolf they link seems like it exists just for cross-site. Overall just. Odd.

They 100% said different things to different people - I have not heard of anyone getting back any DM replies from them either since they sent the "DM me for questions" message.

It could be a game of telephone, but all of what I have seen is:

Several days before they posted the imp scroll, they said in XYZ1 that their friend may get an unbred G1 imp by trading art. They talked about this very much as an imp, and not them getting a scroll. They said the friend may... Raffle off the imp/give it away? Why would you do art worth thousands of dollars for something you don't actually want? The messages are still up

Once they got the imp scroll, they said that they themselves did art for it. I saw people in a few discords say that they did get replies to DMs, but the type of art they did varied with each person who heard from them, and was very inconsistent. I'm not going to post all of the different things they've claimed they did for the scroll, just in case they told each person something different and me saying what was shared leads them to know who shared the messages.

People who DMed them later got no reply/they seem offline. A few things about their discord activity lead me to believe that it's a side discord account that they log out of/log in just when they see something about them, or apparently when they pull a stunt for attention.

Ultimately, my theory is that this is a side a rich player made to use for questionable activity. RMT to be blunt. It was created in January with minimal use. Their main account may have been banned or begun to come under fire/suspicion shortly before summer this year, or they were gearing up to buy the scroll, so the account suddenly began being used. There's no art profile linked anywhere, art in bios, etc, and with no one posting on the forums looking for art for an imp scroll, the whole situation of them finding and trading privately for a scroll seems very suspicious, and like a coverup.

I'd bet money that they always use a VPN.

Betting they stopped the defense and logging in when staff banhammered them.

Staff nuked their account, must have been the first thing they did when they came into work Monday morning. RIP imp scroll.

Re: HOVERCRAFT

I think it would be very funny if under the reason for banning them staff just put “you know what you did”

Re: HOVERCRAFT

(Anonymous) 2023-11-13 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Staff also nuked the account of cross/quidproquo, and Seenya, the person who had the XXX white G1 Imp

What did Seenya do?

tried to sell their triple on a bmt site

Selling a very visible and famous gen 1 imp like that in broad daylight on an RMT site is like putting an Isis flag on your account. Rip I guess that was probably the most expensive imp on the site.

I saw the ad and it appears that they were also the original seller of that imp scroll to hovercraft. They did indeed list a gen one XXX Imperial in that ad as well. Looks like a lot of other KS items were traded off the same way, so there may be more bans around. Stay classy buddy.

Re: HOVERCRAFT

I mean, RMT bans likely include checking all users the seller has dealt with recently for high value items and tracing them out. More is very likely once they trace things.

Account gone! What a moron to brag about it like that. I guess you do have to be a specific type of attention-seeking idiot to have the money to buy an Imp scroll and not even try to keep it under wraps.
