Video evidence

[ryaca_]

Just to clarify.

Video of a player cheating is not enough to jail them.

Catching cheaters is a long process and takes time and determination. However, video of a player allegedly cheating IS enough for us GM's to start watching that player. We must actually catch them in the act to jail them and players have been noticing that the maps are being checked so they are paying attention which I believe is a good thing and is the main point to a strong GM presence.

Screen shots of a player using bad language can be evidence enough to earn a mute.

Please remember that our goal is to keep FT honest and fun for all. It is not us jailing everyone. But players must be jailed if they break the rules.

Sometimes it can take weeks to catch a cheater if we have to request chat logs and logins and an investigation can be a very long process especially if it requires messages being sent to players, GM's Admin, and compbatant. We are all in different time zones and sometimes it takes days for a message and a response to go around so that we are all on the same page.

We are going through the GM inbox and it is packed with messages but we will work on this every day. These things take time.

P.s. some players are accusing me of being impartial and not jailing my "friends". Believe me THIS IS NOT THE CASE. As a GM I have no friends or enemies. I will be fair to all players.

To those that accuse me of being impartial, I encourage you to report me to the Senior GM or Admin or even compbatant if you think that I am being unfair.

Other than that, it's not my fault if your friends are cheaters. Pick better players to associate with and stop being friends with players that only hurt FT.

+1 to that!

That said I consider ryaca a friend, as well as Arashiko, witch, LordSeth, DaHobbit, kromelg the same way I do (did) MadMike, and ardesia.

MadMike, ardesia, DaHobbit and Arashiko were/are GM's when I met them. ryaca, witch, LordSeth and kromelg I met before they became GM's

But, I fully understand and respect the fact that that friendship stops at the "Wall of Rules".
I consider myself pretty safe, I don't break the Rules, quite the contrary I actively support them.
