00:00 - 00:05 | Standard Tuesday morning, checking the forums to defend Kakao |
00:05 - 00:07 | you know, the usual Plunge stuff. |
00:07 - 00:10 | Then I see a thread that's getting a lot of replies |
00:11 - 00:16 | I pop in to it and see that it links to a clip on Twitch |
00:17 - 00:21 | BladeBoques has been caught exploiting. |
00:21 - 00:24 | After being banned for it. |
00:29 - 00:31 | Again. |
00:31 - 00:34 | Someone saw he had two workers on a node |
00:38 - 00:40 | He tried saying it was a visual bug! |
00:41 - 00:47 | Claiming that he didn't know how it happened and that he didn't notice it |
00:47 - 00:50 | The guy with videos about how to manage a worker empire |
00:50 - 00:56 | Didn't notice that he had a skilled level 30 worker at the top of his worker list |
00:58 - 00:59 | It had 3 promotion attempts! |
00:59 - 01:01 | He'd never attempted to promote it! |
01:04 - 01:06 | When I saw the rest of his worker list, |
01:06 - 01:08 | it turned out he had at least 19 other workers |
01:13 - 01:14 | all green and blue. |
01:14 - 01:16 | The worker on ancient stone chamber? |
01:16 - 01:20 | it had been there since January! |
01:21 - 01:27 | he tried to claim he hadn't noticed it. It had finished over 1,000 tasks! |
01:35 - 01:36 | He told his followers, "Look!" |
01:36 - 01:39 | "How did this happen? I didn't exploit!" |
01:41 - 01:44 | But anyway, I decided to investigate it as the forums blew up |
01:44 - 01:47 | The mods were deleting threads left, right and centre. |
01:47 - 01:49 | We find another video from 12 days ago |
01:50 - 01:53 | It proved it wasn't a visual bug, he'd been exploiting! |
01:54 - 01:56 | Kakao unbanned him |
01:56 - 01:58 | even though he'd been exploiting! |
01:58 - 02:02 | A few days later they make an announcement on the forums, about the exploit |
02:05 - 02:07 | They'd banned 3 people, suspended 40 |
02:10 - 02:11 | BladeBoques was suspended! |
02:11 - 02:13 | They banned him for 72 hours! |
02:15 - 02:17 | He kept denying that he'd exploited |
02:17 - 02:20 | Even though all the proof was there, he said it was a bug |
02:21 - 02:28 | he said he didn't mean to do it, it must have happened by accident. |
02:29 - 02:30 | He said he was innocent? |
02:30 - 02:32 | Yep, all over twitter |
02:36 - 02:39 | He even came to the forums, |
02:40 - 02:42 | tried to profess his innocence and say he wasn't at fault. |
02:50 - 02:55 | It became a huge thread, full of evidence against him. |
02:56 - 02:58 | Did Kakao release a statement? |
02:58 - 03:04 | They sent out e-mails to those who were punished |
03:04 - 03:09 | telling them why they were banned, how much silver was removed |
03:09 - 03:11 | and that the exploit itself couldn't be done by accident |
03:16 - 03:20 | He still denied exploiting. |
03:23 - 03:26 | Said it didn't matter what Kakao said. |
03:31 - 03:36 | Claims it's still a bug and that he never broke the ToS! |
