Woe is the jailed hermit,

[The Guy Casey]

For it is he who passes through time so solemnly.

Drifting through my weary slumber,
I awake to cell most somber.

All around me is bitter cold,
As the close confines of chilly stone do take a hold.

Yet here I sit in silent solemnity,
As in creeps my mind's insanity.

Care, you should?
No, you must have me misunderstood.

No friends or acquaintances to hold me close,
Yes, I understand the thought seems quite morose.

Yet I am but a simple hermit,
And it is loneliness in which I... Ferment?

All I ask is tell me, "Why?
Oh, why is it I who is stuck in this sty?
Where is my stairwell, so warm and dry?"
The archive's stairwell is where I should lie.

Jailed Hermits and Their Insanity Induced Poetry by Csyth Krytill

On an out of character note, I would like to have my jail sentence appealed as the only reasoning I received was that it involved a "cyber incident" for which I was neither warned nor briefed on. The only reasoning I can find behind the imprisonment was that I had an extensive OOC discussion with a close friend of mine that should be well known among the higher ups named "Innocence". It was of a personal nature, but it was all in the grayed out OOC text and parentheses. If it was for other reasons, I would like to be informed of them, but still make a strong stance against my jail sentence as I have been nothing but courteous and polite when dealing with the other players of this game and have not had a history of breaking rules within the game's restrictions. In fact, this is my first offense which I am still uncertain of what the offense actually was. I also am unaware of who carried out the sentence, although it seems like knowing who carried out my punishment would be standard operating procedure for these sorts things. Tsk-tsk, MagicDuel staff, and bad form. As for posting this here, I know not where else to post it, so I will post it here and we can move the discussion somewhere else if necessary.

- Sincerely, Casey a.k.a. Csyth Krytill


On an in character note: *Rubs his eyes and yawns.* Not the locale I was expecting, but I'd be lyin' if I said I hadn't waken up to stranger scenes, if you catch my meaning. Heh. At any rate, this isn't exactly the coziest I've been here in my adventures. Much, much prefer the stairwell at the archives, I do. Ahem, *clears his throat.* now this'll be the part where I ask kindly to be released from this imprisonment on the grounds that I've no idea what I've done.

Rolpleay should not be put on the forum.

Your description says you should be removed from jail dayt 286 or something, was this last year?

Cybersex is not permitted in MD, if someone reports it you can be jailed, as you have been, however i would have thought you would have been contacted telling you why. Just because its in brackets does not mean its allowed. Thusly, i guess someone banned you, have you sent a pm to grido, he normally deals with bannings.

As a rule of thumb, Mur never sends messages when he bans for cybering, and is usually invisible when doing it. He usually makes a comment about the reason, that's all you get. Grido deals with the rest.

I reported you. You were cybering outside Sunny Bedroom.
There was also an announcement about your jailing (and others) but I guess you didn't bother to actually read the Announcements.

Decision regarding the cyber-sex incident:
According to announcement no.1260, cyber-sex and related activities are not to be allowed in MD chat. The activity itself is of no concern to me but its consequences, considering the wide range of ages and cultures present in MD, are highly dangerous because of reasons i already detailed. For disregarding an announced rule and conducting named activities, the following players are sentenced to one week of jail: [b]Innocence, Csyth Krytill, Dragual Monarth, Princess Katt[/b].
For causing too much mess about this and turning it into a personal fight, when there was no need to, [b]dst[/b] is sentenced also to one week of jail, as a cummulative punishment for her way of causing scandals, not for commiting an actual crime. Both punishments should be also considered with a warning "next time will be worse".

As a side note: It's, I think, obvious that this game is openly played by people of all ages, therefore such behaviours or behaviours that according to your words can be taken "out of context" shouldn't happen and should be avoided.

If you want to get out you can simply contact Grido or send an email to the council [council] (last options should be that, your last option )

Lol. Dst, I won't even start with you, but I will say that you are very anal about the subject and went into logs that weren't see-able by the general public as they had already passed. That doesn't excuse me from breaking the rules, but it does say something about how you handled the matter. I'm not here to stir up the hive, so to speak, though, thus, I'll abide by the rules from hence on.

Point being, that's not why I'm here. My sentence is up, but I'm still jailed when it would make more sense, TO ME, for the ban to have been enacted in a manner that I was automatically released after the duration, not in a way that I had to personally contact someone. Regardless, I have messaged Grido, so this post is irrelevant. As for the announcement, I was inactive at the time and I play this game casually to the point that I don't follow the announcements even if I hadn't been inactive.

Bfh, thank you for the contact suggestion and posting the comment about the ordeal. It is highly appreciated.

Burns, I appreciate your input, but that doesn't mean I agree with the methods Mur has implemented. But, again, that's irrelevant and I'm not here to argue about it.

And about the negative reputation I've received because of this post, that's laughable. Hehe.


Edit: Oops, sorry, Bfh. I spelled your name wrong the first time. xD Very tired over here.

MD is different, this is one of the ways, You "could" have been banned, properly and not be able to get back at all. But instead you were jailed.

All Jail Setences are a minimum time, and you are expected to contact someone to get released

Obviously, because I just had to contact someone to be released. All I'm saying is that it would make more sense to me, just me, maybe not the rest of you, if it was handled a different way, but it's not my game to make those decisions.

A "nicer" mechanic is that you are automatically released and such. But thats much more mechnical, prearranged and much less "human/personal"

MD is just a bit different, Mur much prefers personal contact over nameless mechanics and machines that automatically do things. Its much more human having someone who deals with jailing and such.

Point taken. That does make sense, a much more organic experience. I believe this mattered is settled, then. Thank you for the input, everyone.
