User:Augir/May 24th incident

I have to start this from making a point about me as a player, nothing is more important to me that honor and doing what is right. Cheating, duping, twicking code or abusing other players is something I never do. I use same names for my avatars for 20 years and some recognize me as the mmorpg's as the time passes.

Yesterday, was another day of the Tale, after loading mats to Tribute posts I moved the location near the Papy Mountain in Swenett to harvest thorns for Bernike Tribute Post. It was also first day when we finally figure out how to macro the thorns, after 4 days of doing this by hand with 20+ other Hyksos players. This is the macro: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/449072587012833281/449275235624157184/thorns.lua

For those knowing the code is a hatched wood macro. I confirmed with Apophis macro is not a problem.

Now for this macro to work I used 2 pairs of Avatars: Sabina-Astia and Tibere-Neas. I set them both on two patches, one with 7 and second with 6 thorn plants. The way macro works one Avatar in this case Sabina and on second patch Tibere harvest from pined thorns and after each round with pinned give unloads to the second avatar in pair - Astia and Neas. I also had 2 wh to unload from which I and in later time other players where picking thorns and run them to the Tribute Post.

At some point report was send to GM's by passing Lukeera/Ion. I can type name here because that player confirmed this in Hyksos chat later. I was visited by GM Pascalito, who was checking if I don't afk macro.

Less than 2h hours later Apophis turned off thorns gathering and said in Hyksos chat that its because people in Hyksos are cheating and duping thorns. Now, I started playing Tale in T5, I never heard of the apparently known thorn bug where player can somehow boost number of the thorns gathered. BUT Apophis assured me that this bug in code existed. I still don't know how this bug worked but from the chats I understand that second avatar clicking on the thorns will boost their numbers when harvested.

I provided Apophis with screenshots of Main chat from both Astia and Neas, avatars I was stashing thorns on.

NONE of them did any CLICKING on thorns to boost numbers of gathered thorns. After every round both Sabina and Tibere used pined give tab to unload thorns, from time to time while we were running thorns to the Tribute Post I was unloading both Astia and Neas to the warehouses.

After Apophis made announcement drama in the Hyksos chat begun. Lukeera playing as Ion begun full throttle accusation saying my name multiple times with Amanti shouting in caps "Augir is a cheater". The way this was handled by Apophis, the apparent chat between dev and player where dev SHARE that type of stuff with other players so they can use for their own personal goals is beyond me. I immediately started my own chat with Apophis, provided above macro link and pictures. Afer long discussion Apophis released in Hysksos chat and discord following statement: Apophis - Yesterday at 10:19 PM This is my last word on the event. I have gone through my data, and I am convinced that Augir did not knowingly exploit. I have additional evidence against others, however, and what I said would happen will still happen. I'm not going to discuss this any further.

NOW. ONCE AGAIN I DID NOT CLICK OR USE G OR DID ANYTHING ELSE WITH AVARARS USED FOR STASHING. They were just standing there. According to the Apophis pictures above don't prove anything. I have no idea how I can prove that I didn't do anything wrong..

And so if at anytime Apophis, other devs or GM's or creator of dev-call decides to post in public or send me privately proof that Neas or Astia did ANYTHING that was boosting thorn amounts I will donate $10000 for the Tale development, self ban myself from the Tale and never comeback.
