Hi everyone its warclaIdhm!

[Sleight-of-hand-spongebal]

Gosh, I still miss gemstone. I just wanted to tell everyone I'm still around. HarmNone here is a great lady. As you all know, I'm a sleight of hand magician. I do close up magic. Had my own magic business called "London Bridge Magic", but it failed. I have Bobo's Modern Coin magic book and am currently working on some flourishes, and other sleights with coin magic.

Bobmuhthol, I love you. Classic.

Everyone else, I can never play gemstone again. Why? Simple. I recently got this email from a GM:

Hello,

Awhile ago Warclaidhm was banned from Gemstone IV. It was a 3 day lockout, but then it was decided to be permnanent. However, the gemstone staff said wait 6 months and ask again to unban my character, warclaidhm, and warclaidhm might be unbanned at that time.

It's been over 6 months now and I wanted to say that I feel I've changed, I'm more mature, and I promise not to violate any more rules of Gemstone IV. Please unban Warclaidhm from Gemstone IV.

Thank you

These are my gold coins.

[Sleight-of-hand-spongebal]

Nope, I own gold coins, I collect them. Here's some more: http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a134/spacetimecont/?start=40

This is a 1908 5 dollar gold indian. It's a US coin.

[Stanley Burrell]

has to be bullshit

After I was done cracking up, I took a look at his photobucket album.

Psychoanalytically, I believe the magic habit has its origins stemming from "Sandy" the pet rabbit. This looks (sadly) like it was put together by the creator of this thread's claim to numismatic fame... It takes serious talent to put that much blur on an ingot, or way too much free time to create this much personality, but I believe the former to be true :(

Good night, everyone. I look forward to this thread inflating.

And Kevinhm, the same thing everyone has said and will say to you.

[Anebriated]

How do you get banned from a forum about coin collecting?

[Sleight-of-hand-spongebal]

How do you get banned from a forum about coin collecting?

I don't know. I get banned from about every forum.

[StrayRogue]

Bullshit, of course.

[HarmNone]

Not bullshit. Kevin does collect gold coins, is interested in magic tricks, and would have loved to return to GemStone. I'm sorry you were disappointed, Kevin, but I'm not sure GemStone would be the best use of your time at this juncture, so it's probably for the best.

Edited to add that I'm also aware that Kevin knows some Japanese, including how to write it in kanji (is that what they call that?) To say you are fluent, Kevin, is probably an exaggeration, as it takes several years to become really fluent. It does look like you've learned quite a bit more, though. :)

[StrayRogue]

How was any of that information secret or not known to any old vet of the PC, however?

It stinks just like his infamous livejournal.

[HarmNone]

An educated guess, which includes the origin of the IP, tells me this is Kevin. I've communicated quite a bit with Kevin and can usually identify his posts. ;)

Thanks HarmNone. Ok maybe I'm not fluent :) But I know a bit

I think I'm pretty good at magic. StrayRogue, is that picture in your signature you?

[StrayRogue]

Yes.

[Shari]

I don't know if its possible to laugh harder than I have just now.

This is the best impersonation I think I've read.

[Sean of the Thread]

After looking in the photobucket full of rabbits and coins I'm 99% sure it's really Kevin.

Anyways keep on keeping on man. Gemstone sucks anyways.

[HarmNone]

You're correct, Sean2. This is Kevin and not an impersonation.

[Sleight-of-hand-spongebal]

I've heard GS is dead is that true?

[Merzbow]

I've heard GS is dead is that true?

Actually it's more fun than ever, with the awesome new Adventurer's Guild and other amazing stuff. Wow.

[HarmNone]

Kevin, check your private messages. ;)

[HarmNone]

I think the population is quite a bit lower now than when you played, Kevin. They do have some interesting new things going on, though.

[HarmNone]

Okay, I can now verify that this is, indeed, Kevin. I asked in a PM that he drop me an email. In response, he replied to the last email I sent him.

[HarmNone]

You might want to read this thread, Kevin:

http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?t=20715

It tells about the Adventurer's Guild, which is one of the new things they've added to GemStone. Sounds interesting. :)

What happenede to all the people?

[HarmNone]

I imagine they've left for other games, like World Of Warcraft. The graphical games are pulling a pretty big audience these days, and the text games are suffering for it.

You should roll up another character, Kevin. Use a different credit card than your last account. A different billing address as well, if you can. You'll bring some sorely needed controversy to the game.

[Raffles]

what on earth do you have to do to get banned?

I think he called a GM or GH a cunt.

[Artha]

Any attempt at understanding women is futile.

[CrystalTears]

Truth hurts. :D

[Nieninque]

Actually, the GM that banned him was fucking awesome, incredibly patient and gave him far more chances than he really should have been given.

I think the abuse was just the final straw. He wasnt listening to what she said. The log of it is somewhere here, I think it was called Happy Christmas. He was just stupid. Beyond stupid.

[Xanator]

Well, he's certainly not the only person who's ever been perma-banned. The only other instance springing to mind right now, though, is Burzmalli. Four or five years ago, during the heyday of the Boulder Crew, Burz took to repeatedly attacking a merchant who was performing services in the Landing. Since he wasn't the best-behaved player in the game, I'm sure he had a long list of prior offenses, and the merchant incident was the last straw.

The guys up on the boulder used to get locked out a lot, but it was usually only temporary. 30 days or so. Burz is the only permanent ban I can think of right now.

[Bobmuhthol]

Not sure why the hell this bump happened, but the duping incident led to permabans all over the place.

Other than Burzmalli, the only ones I can recall from the boulder crew that got locked out were Rusval and Icedraggon (I've been locked out before too but that had nothing to do with the boulder or pvp).

I miss those days of chaos.

[Tsa`ah]

Wow ... why didn't I read this thread 7 months ago ... made me laugh, made me afraid, made me sad ... all at the same time.

There have been plenty of folks given a lifelong ban. Bob wasn't the only person involved in the duping ... he was just the dupe.

Seanytakeyououttothedesert8secondflyRX7pwnsyouImaf uckingmoviestartethugrollinwiththehomiesandmycreww illfuckyouupdigital was given a lifer last I heard ... he just circumvents it by buying accounts (and charging back in some cases) until he gets caught ... and then attempts to resell.
