You say you were given access, albeit limited, and discovered this atrocity yet you neglected to take SS's of this not only to prove it before the community but also free yourself of any examination. I find this hard to believe; while the tracker part of it may or may not be true I again find it hard to believe that nobody would notice 300$ take a walk about.
I finally find it hard to believe that in the face of all of this you had not 1, not 2, not 3, but your entire management team leave you. Armageddon quits on his own regard, coincidence? Jeff/ Tolkaz were both retired staff members and admitably I've report of them misbehaving and removing all the CM's from TS3 which in itself is most definitely a crime. However this should've been followed with a summary restriction of all access; a loss of rank possibly and at the farthest reach; a ban for them to cool off.
I delved into you SB and looked specifically at those of "Commander Jeff" , an acquaintance of mine, his latest ban which is a permanent ban strikes me as ridiculous in the least. Brought to my attention by "Mind Games" in chat when he claimed that someone by the name of "Commander Jeff" was RDMing in TTT and that they were promptly banned I started to search. Upon viewing Jeff's profile I've seen that he has not played TTT in the past 2 weeks, I check into SB and lo and behold.
A ban...Yet, this ban was via web; done by Suricruise literally whilst we were all in chat. The reason stated was "team-killing" funny... I'm pretty sure that it should be RDM and it would've been done in-server..Ah well; logic was never my strong suit.
EDIT: I'd also like to make a note on a few more things that were brought before me, namely the departure of Erbrackin and Thor. They weren't the only ones, the entire management that either left or was banned spent hours upon hours insuring the survival and upkeep of TNS as a whole. And one day when accusations made by one member of management cause them to become comprimised they just up and leave?
No sane man or woman willingly leaves something they've poured hour upon hour into, no sane man or woman leaves behind something they helped create, mold, and even give life to.. Yet they did.
They did so because it had become.... different... different in such a way that association for it was no longer for them. Something they so painstakingly created was turned back against them; the accuser himself stands upon a pedestal of the masses yet has no proof beyond his own word.
Is this what has become of you TNS?
TLDR: Read it, if you don't you're a lazy little guy behind a computer screen. If you quote this TLDR and make a joke; you're 12 on top of that. 2
Cheers gentlemen.
