Well then. Chatter IS here for something. I figured I'd carry our attention over here before we all are horribly guilty of posting really badly off-topic x.x
Urei might remember me (are you seriously from the Edmonton area Urei? O.O Don't answer that if you don't want to.)
How long ago were you hosting/GMing? It's been a while since Nas banned me -- I havn't been able to keep up with the news.
The official reason is that I was spamming the forums.
Nasedo had implemented changes that many playing the game dissagreed with. Cards were made less-powerful, agility was made almost useless. As a level 95 Assasin who had been mobbing Premium Seals since level 70 -- I was unable to even WALK into Premium Seals without being killed (And at level 95 that means alot of EXP wasted). Naturally I (and many others) were upset. Epyon posted a topic in General about how the changes were bad.
Phalax and I were quite vocal in that topic. He and I pretty much said the same thing.. with ONE exception-- Phalax swore. I didnt.
Phalax got a 4 day inability to post. I was IP banned from the forums and banned from the game. Permanantly.
So. Obviously there is some amount of discrepancy.
The un-official speculated reason.
Nasedo had added me to his MSN about a month or so before I was banned. I was going to host the PW version of Redemption (then my mother added another router and that idea was gone because I couldn't hack through it -_-). But Nas kept me on his msn and talked to me from time to time.
About a week before I was banned. Nasedo and I had an arguement over why -anyone- (especially Nasedo O.o) needed to spend over $300 on a pair of jeans. He was bragging to me that he had all this stuff (Expencive clothes, expencive watch etc), and I dissagreed with the principal of spending -that- much money on a watch or a pair or pants.
Soon after that arguement Nasedo asked me to do some 'stuff' on webcam for him. He even offered me GM if I would do it. I said No.
A few days later I was banned while my friend (who did everything I did in that topic .. but he swore.) got a 4 day inability to post.
Something doesn't make sence.
Urei, Maybe you know more? (I think it was you or Gremio who gave Phalax the 4-day suspension)
Hah, I used to be a GM on Redemption back in the day. In fact that is how Urei and I met. That really does sound like Nas. But aparently he has changed now..but I will never forgive his extreme idiotness and how he treated me like a lower subject just because I am female. Soo I quit my admin and GM job altogether.
That was the biggest problem with Redemption. THE ADMIN. Nasedo was so corrupt. He abused his power and many people were used by him. He, (Along with the growing number of idiots and my general boredom with the game and the forums attatched to it) is the reason I no longer am considered an "Active" GM. Though he was dedicated I just didn't agree with him on many levels.
I also remember him bragging about his liberal spending on everything he fancied. I could never dream of spending $100 on a pair of pants let alone 300.
Fortunately he's been better lately. Less corruption and the lot. Not really anything that would give me reason to come back but still it is an improvement.
And to answer your first question Ryo, I intend to be in that area before long.
