Actually it is more likely that the house contents were deleted first and then Draconi went back and burned them down.

GL plot completely wiped clean. All vendors gone. All objects gone from the house.

Looks like they were able to save it before Dranconi.

I'm sure Draconi knows where the stuff was moved to and can retarget his ICBM.

Juuust to clarify, I was watching the LS one, it was there one second, gone the next. There's no way a player could move all the stuff from the house that quickly, a GM obviously deleted it.

Edit: Ninja'd.

It just went, and may have been the biggest plot he had in any Luna, from the other pics

Draconi, I and everyone else that's complained, of course, thank you for this. But I don't think it will truly have meaning until we find out that the owner(s) as well were also banned, along with their CC numbers, and their IP addresses...

Ban them? Hell no keep collecting their fee. If they set up shop again then burn it all down. But don't ban them. Their monthly fee is a small reconcilliation for what they have done.

If they destroyed the house for scripting, I presume they had the foresight to suspend the account anyway?

What was this guy scripting by the way? Ingots? Wood? All of the above? Was this person also guilty of duping?

Could someone please explain why the post by DVI looks so much different than mine? Same house in Luna, but clearly the surrounding buildings look different in structure. I am obviously using KR on a widescreen monitor...

All I can say is...

<blockquote><hr>


King Arthur: How does it... um... how does it work?
Sir Lancelot: I know not, my liege.
King Arthur: Consult the Book of Armaments.
Brother Maynard: Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one.
Cleric: [reading] And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu...
Brother Maynard: Skip a bit, Brother...
Cleric: And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
Brother Maynard: Amen.
All: Amen.
King Arthur: Right. One... two... five.
Galahad: Three, sir.
King Arthur: Three.

Way to go Draconi! All hail the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

Very very nice !

I only hope this is not a few show-burnings and in a few weeks scripters can do what they want again...
Secondly I trust your jugdement that no innocent peoples houses get burned...
Good job !

I hope these burning houses will serve now as cheater magnets. Those who use an illegal script for house placement will hopefully be analyzed and banned while trying to claim these spots.

What is going to happen to an innocent player who had a vendor at one of these houses. Are they able to obtain their possessions/gold off the burnt scarecrow?

So ok.. you blew his house up and I'm assuming banned his account. My problem is i had a vendor there. And my vendor and gold are gone. Some people might not care and flame me. But Im the oldest smith/tailor on napa. I never really even did a BOD... I worked all my skills up the hard way... Now I have to just eat it on the gold lost on my vendor?

You should contact GMs/Jeremy.
If you didn't do anything wrong you shouldn't be punished. And I'm sure they can check that.

It's a shame they don't name the effigy after the duper's name, including any websites that the people own.
But! This is a great day, good job Draconi.

I've been watching - reading - stratics forum posts about all the cheating and such for quite some time.

I've played UO for almost 4 years. I've never scripted or duped or cheated. I'm not looking for praises and salutations. It's a simple statement of my belief that "all of that" is self-defeating and not in the spirit of what gaming should be and certainly not what UO has been to me.

Thank you Draconi for doing what you've done. Congrats on having a fun time doing it --- fires, explosions LOL Thank you!

Keep up your good work!

I think the destruction speaks for itself unless you can explain another reason these houses have burnt.

Obviously they were doing something wrong and the EA team felt they had grounds to go ahead with forcible evictions.

While today is a good day to celebrate these houses going down, I'd like to keep everyone aware of the on going problem and hopefully this is a first of many charred homes we see. Setting this on fire was great, now let's see of the rest of them go.

Part of me hopes these stay up forever. What a nice piece of UO lore. I can see the posts for years to come. Every so often the "Why is this house burning?" posts. A good time for folks to reflect on something positive. Fast action I'm happy. I think I'll keep paying yall a lil longer. Thank you.

Wait a min, they aren't banning all houses with bod vendors are they? Last I knew that was stated legal by the dev team... I hope there is a way to tell if they have been scripted or obtained legit or else I'm going to have to take my bod vendors down!

this particular vendor house was one seen on most American shards...Tailor bods all color coded, Smith vendors all wearing the same metal armor colored...wood and ingot commoditidy deeds and mining gems all stocked fully every day...identical vendor houses on most shards so yeah it was kinda obvious to everyone.
