Punished?????? For what?

[Darkmatter]

Can someone tell me what I am punished for??? I get this when logging-in:


Can not stop until: 2008-12-04 13:53:27

You are punished for bad behavior.
You account will be automatically unlocked in 30 minutes after the end of the punishment.
You can see the table with punished players to see what is the reason.

I click on the link to see the reason and I get some blank page with this URL:

I have done nothing wrong to my knowledge....Just before this happened though I had admin named Freeico ask me how many times I have used my protection activations, I answered him, then recieved a reply " I will punish you until the end of your protection"........WHY? I know of no rules I broke regarding protections.....so please respond asap what is going on....

You have violated the rule for 24 hours pause between two protections

[Darkmatter]

Really, this is a rule? I was never aware of this, that there must be a 24hr pause between protection activations.....where is this rule listed? I'm aware of the rules of the game and have read them many times yet I have never seen this posted rule anywhere....it's totally new to me, may I have a link to the rule please?

Obviously I wouldn't of activated a 2nd protection in this time-frame if I knew of this rule because now all I've done is basically paid my NANOCREDITS so I could be punished!!!! WTF is this???

It would of at least been nice if when the admin was pm me in-game and asking me about it to ACTUALLY mention I was in violation of a rule, and what I had done....

Also, according to my knowledge.....my 1st activation was on Novemebr 27th and my 2nd activation was December 1st, how is there anyway I could of activated these within 24hrs of each other, thats like 2 and a half days between protections.....none of this is making much sense to me

Цитат8. Protection:
5 protections, each lasting 72 hours and obligatory pause between protections: 24 hours.[/quote]

And the pause must be from the end of the first protection to the beginning of the next. So, as You said , protection activated on November 27 should end on November 30, which is the last day of November. Since You didn't posted the exact time, there's a probability this pause being less than 24 hours.

You didn't knew, cause it was translated yesterday...

Ok, I now understand the rule on activating protections within 24hrs of each other......but I find this totally ridiculous!!! So basically I have been punished for the length of my current protection activation, lost the NANOCREDITS I used to pay for the activation, now as well lose one of my total of 5 activations for the round....because of violating a rule that was only just posted TODAY?????

I activated the 1st protection that is the basis for this punishment on Nov. 27th, yet this rule was only just posted Pinned: Official changes for Round 6 Uni 3 0 charovna 35 Today, 05:39

Is it just me? Or does this not seem totally unjustified? I feel totally ripped-off and taken adavantage of here!!! Are you actually going to make this punishment stand????? For a rule violation that wasn't even a "posted rule to violate" until today, when the incident happened 3 days ago........come on! I'd like an explanation of your reasons to follow thru on this punishment please, when I think it's pretty obvious this has no basis....can you see my point here?

So may I ask what you intend to do about this punishment? Will it stand or what???

Actually, I agree with Darkmatter... it's a lil bit unnecessary to punish foreigners just because we always forget to translate what's new here in English...

Here you are some example... what if a foreigner want to play in uni SPEED? Where he can find the new rules or changes for round 14? What stops the administrator to punish him later for breakin' some new rules that the player haven't got any idea about? But is it right or does it make any sense? That's an international game (well, I hope so) and I believe that somehow the rules must be readable in international language... not only in our language. And I'll try to help to fix that problem next time when I have a lil more free time...

And if you find it strange that it isn't allowed to activate a protection right after another, but the game' ### actually allow it... Well, it is strange... :>

The rule is not new. It is more than half year old. And it was posted in the translation of the rules in other universes. For me this is not our first time error, that we didn't translate the changes from bulgarian section. There is even still gap in the FAQ of the game on page about Protection rules. I will try to make them fix the page in FAQ. So Darkmatter, I am sorry that you were not aware about this rule change up to now. So your credits are restored, and the protection is deleted. The punishment is canceled and turned into vacation mode.

Ok, thank you for resolving this.

Cheers
