Topic: Illegal alliances acceptable now?

I noticed that no admin/mod/dev/WE is caring if there is proof of illegal alliances in solo rounds.

So if that's the case we can have illegal alliances in Starburst?  OK cool.  I'll get right on that.

If not I'd like for a mod to actually reply back in a PM to me so we can actually fix this.  I have evidence and witnesses to this matter.

Let's see if the staff still cares anymore.

Re: Illegal alliances acceptable now?

Hi Hyperious,

The rules are here for review: https://imperialconflict.com/docs/rules.html

Regarding violations, including IA: our process is not to PM players directly.  Rather you can email any information you feel is relevant to [email protected], which will forward the same email to all of the IC staff.  This is to ensure that the entire team stays on the same page regarding details.

from #6 in the rules:

6. Reporting Violations
To report a violation of any of these rules, send an email to [email protected] containing the details including the parties involved.

Also, to clarify up front: investigations are handled internally and privately.  This means that once a report is made (again, over email), the team will take it from there and may or may not communicate further with the reporting party.  Players are not entitled to updates on pending investigations on other players' accounts and should not expect them.

from 1.1.3 in the rules:

Any information on these actions is private and will be withheld from all outside parties.

Your concern is appreciated.  Please let us know if any of the rules need further clarity.

Thank you.

Re: Illegal alliances acceptable now?

When a report is made, does the person who made the report automatically become banned or "blocked" for some reason?

Right now I've been blocked after making the report.  I had nothing to do with what it was that was reported however i'm now the one suffering the consequences after being made a victim of IA.

Re: Illegal alliances acceptable now?

No, a player will not be blocked for reporting.  If a player is blocked, it means something related to their account has been deemed in violation of the rules in some way, and may or may not be related to the same situation they initially reported.

Discussion regarding block details (including this one) should be had over email.

See 1.2.3:

Do not make public accusations of rule breaking and do not publicly discuss active blocks. Issues and questions regarding rule breaking and blocks should be discussed privately by sending an email to [email protected].

Please note that continued discussion of your specific block details is in violation of the rules that you agreed to.  Your frustration is understandable but it does not justify breaking other rules related to blocks themselves.

You're welcome to email the team regarding your case.  That is the appropriate medium to use until we get an improved report/block feature in place.

Re: Illegal alliances acceptable now?

Ah yes I actually saw that part AFTER I posted that second response.  I apologize.  I did send another Email asking for an explanation and if there was a mistake.  The person responsible is 1 number away from my family number so i'm wondering if I was the one blocked instead of them.

The block occurred very shortly after I sent the Email with the complaint but now it seems like i'm the one being punished and not those who actually got to me.  I certainly hope it was just a misunderstanding.  This is kind of worrying.  I haven't done anything wrong at all.

Re: Illegal alliances acceptable now?

No worries.

We received your email and have responded.  If you have further questions about your specific situation please respond to that email.

Thanks.

Re: Illegal alliances acceptable now?

I haven't received any response from the email yet.

Re: Illegal alliances acceptable now?

There's one in our outbox.  Is it in your spam folder maybe?

Feel free to find me on Discord to sort out email issues.

Thanks.

Re: Illegal alliances acceptable now?

That is a negative sir.  Would it be possible to just send it as a PM directly to me?  I believe this would be easier and prevent any kind of travel disruptions.

Are you using UDP?
