Hi, first and foremost, I apologize on the somewhat lengthy time it has taken staff to reach an agreement about this matter. Our approach in reaching the conclusion had a few factors. We took these three things into consideration; keeping users happy, damage control/prevention, and accountability of the host.
With everything said, I have given Convict one last message to see if he has 100%, without a doubt, chance to finish this event on his own. If he can not, or chooses not to finish the event, I'll be getting someone to transfer the TC to a member of each respective clan that most qualifies for each prize. That respective clan member will then have their own obligation to send out the TC to their other clan members as they wish. We are choosing to not give out the secondary prizes of "Random Items". This would be too problematic and may be conflicting. I hope you are all satisfied with the outcome.
With something like this brought into light, we are also going to add a rule in the Events board giving clarity for this very exact, and similar issues that may come. There will be a very clear rule stating something along the lines of... "Failure to uphold your responsibilities as an event host may result in a ban. We may also send prizes (TC/Items) from your account to compensate any party affected. Failure to uphold responsibilities can be defined as moderators see fit, but will typically be defined as: 1) Failure to send prizes after an event is finished. 2) Abandoning an event with substantial progress made." I realize this is quite lengthy, and I'll probably condense as much as I can. But this is what is in the pot as it stands right now.
As a last note: The ban can vary to 1-3 months, up to moderator discretion. This ban can later be appealed in Ban Appeals and may be lowered. Our typical scamming/duel scamming rules are in compliance with that length of time. Essentially, this is no different from a scam. I wanted to be 100% transparent here and let you guys know the full length of everything. Additionally, we as staff want to have little to no intervention when it comes to events. We want users to have the space to have fun, free from "staff looking down upon you." I hope you all can agree with everything stated here. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions what-so-ever. You can send a Private Message, or send one on discord.
