    Default Extortionists .. is this OK ?

    Hi
    Just got an email from the host of the top alliance here on 102
    demanding coin and advanced teleporters.

    "u gotta buy the game coins 4 me.. if u agree.. i'll send u my gaming email.. u dont need the password.. all u have 2 do is pay for it then.. email me back"

    Is this Ok ?
    I hope not

    if you dont personally know this person then just ignore it , you arent getting anything out of this as in order to do this (if you did agree) you would have to have their login mail

    (the action of buying cents for someone else is legal (ive had someone do it for me ) however this method of asking is most unorthodox and personally i would completely ignore it)

    Thumbs up

    For sure we wont respond to his threats.

    If hes doing it to us then hes doing it to many more.

    Are you saying we are pseudo allowed to do this and can get away with it because no one really gives a hoot and its commonly accepted practise with
    NO Consequences ?

    Cool - let the games begin.

    Righty-oh

    So the tactic is - get to the top by extorting the noobs for stuff from thier mums credit cards ?

    Its all LEGAL on Evony.

    Im no lawyer, but I think that might cross a few actual REAL country LAWS, where the penalty is not a simple brush off.

    lol no no no.. you misunderstood.. if you want to be nice and give someone a present you can buy them cents if they cant afford to

    Additionally: forcing an alliance mate or anyone else to do this for your will probably result in a banning of your account so dont force anyone to do this

    Yeah - thats not problem. Ive used my Wifes CC card like that too.

    Heres the issues:

    We have an adversary demanding coins to remove a Hostile War flag.
    EXTORTION - pure and simple.
    The fact that it will involve real money should be a very big concern.
    Extortion with Malice is a jail term here, its not a minor crime at all.

    Its not extortion if no one pays anything however pm a rep( Dawnseeker OR Valkirah) or Foxybunny with the lord name and server of this person and have a link to this thread.. if they have questions regarding what your asking for ill be happy to explain it.. your last post should be more than clear tho..

    Hold on here....

    If this player is demanding real world payment (buying him cents) in return for any in-game actions, including to stop attacking you or to not attack you at all, then that is extortion and it is a clear violation of our Terms & Conditions.

    If you can, please get me a screenshot of this demand, and I will also need his lord name and your lord name. You can send me these by pm or email if you prefer. If you need instructions on how to obtain the screenshots, I can also help with that.

    Furthermore, please do not respond to this player in any way. And certainly, do NOT buy him any cents.
