1 You petition 'hi'
2
3 Bane responds to your petition with 'Hello there.'
4
5 You petition 'how come i got caged ?'
6
7 Bane responds to your petition with 'Because when I spotted you in Jau's group repeatedly assisting, and when I sent petitions asking if you were at keys over a good 15-20 minutes I received no response.'
8
9 You petition 'i was assisting o.O'
10
11 You petition 'damn :( .. but it woudl be okay if i wasnt assisnt correct ? because i wasnt casting spells or displacing.. or anything ?'
12 Bane responds to your petition with 'Read help robot for me, and then answer that question for me.'
13
14 You petition 'hmm.. i suppose being afk and getting xp counts as character activity ?'
15
16 Bane responds to your petition with 'If you're afk, and not assisting, and simply following is fine. But any action on your part, when you aren't her e is considered botting.'
17
18 You petition 'in my defense, i didnt mean to auto assist :( im a illusionist with less than like 5/5 hit/dam.. i doubt my assisting would have helped the xp group xp faster.. and i doubt i could have gotten any damage xp from that'
19
20 You petition 'i dont even think im wielding a weapon either..'
21
22 Bane responds to your petition with 'Be that as it may, it's not an excuse. You've been through this before regardless of the fact and you should kno w better by now.'
23
24 You petition 'but .. in what way could an auto assist trigger have been benefitial to me.. xp wise ?'
25
26 Bane responds to your petition with 'An action was happening that you were not at keys to do, an automatic one. I.e. a bot. What you gained doesn't g et taken into account here, it's well documented and within the rules.'
27
28 You petition 'i see.'
29
30 You petition 'can you check logs to see if i really was auto assisting ? or if i was just being hit by a "hitall" ?'
31
32 Bane responds to your petition with 'I'm afraid we don't log specific actions you do.. Regardless of the fact, if that was the case you're still able to notch skills, such as dodge if you're the target, and not at keys. So here's whats going to happen.'
33
34 You petition 'but i was never the target ..'
35
36 You petition 'nor did i notch dodge im willing to bet'
37
38 Bane responds to your petition with 'Quite possible you didn't notch dodge, but there's really not an arguement here, nor is this going to really hel p your plight. When I checked, you were assisting, and I checked 3x, when I sent petitions.'
39
40 Bane responds to your petition with 'Since this is your third strike, and you weren't actively casting when I checked, your dodge is getting set to 0 , and your spec illusion is getting halved.'
41
42 You petition 'so if i am afk, and a mob comes and is aggro to me, then it is considered botting, and it can be punishable ?'
43
44 You petition 'oh'
45
46 You petition 'okay'
47
48 Bane responds to your petition with 'If you're afk, in a group while being led around, yes.'
49
50 You petition 'ahh.. even hitall counts ?'
51
52 Bane responds to your petition with 'Let me rephrase here. Any action that benefits you, the gain of exp, the gain of skills while you are not here i s botting. Period.'
53
54 You petition 'oh.. okay so.. Bane responds to your petition with 'If you're afk, and not assisting, and simply following is fine. But any action on y our part, when you aren't here is considered botting.' is false correct ?'
55
56 You petition '.. just want to make sure..'
57
58 Bane responds to your petition with 'Right, and I'd normally let that slide, like I did with another person in the group.'
59
60 You petition 'oh.. but it is illegal correct ?'
61
62 Bane responds to your petition with 'Right. It's illegal, but i'm overlooking that aspect of this situation on you.'
63
64 You petition 'nods, i appreciate that.'
65
66 You petition 'i just wanted to clear that up.. so i dont get dinged again ..'
67
68 Bane responds to your petition with 'Ok, so let's review. Being in a group, and receiving a benefit is consider 1. Botting 2. Not Botting 3. Ohio.'
69
70 Bane responds to your petition with 'Which is the correct answer?'
71
72 You petition '.. do i get life lines ?'
73
74 You petition 'numba 1 btw :D'
75
76 Bane responds to your petition with 'Keep your nose clean, and you'll be fine. Good answer.'
The question is:
Why is it considered being a 'robot' if you are not assisting but just following and no triggers/actions being used?
help robot
ROBOTS ACTIONS
A robot is a character that can run independently by triggers and/or
actions through a client such as Tin-Tin or Zmud. Auto actions/triggers
are almost always allowed on TorilMUD, however should you keep triggers
running while away from the keys for more than a few moments, you will
be considered as running a robot.
The first line defines what 'robot' means: A person is 'independently' running by triggers. If the person is _not_ running any triggers, then he is not a robot.
For such things as eating, drinking, retrieving weapons, and looting corpses,
we have no care, HOWEVER you are running a robot if you leave the
keyboard for an extended amount of time while continuing to have character
activity which allows you to play the game. If this sounds like
something you do, chances are you are running a robot.
Running a 'robot' is defined above as "independently running by triggers". If the person is _not_ running a robot, and leaving the keys (AFK), then that's not being a 'robot'. However, if you read line #16 in the full conversation, you can see Bane stating this. Surely enough, he contradicts his statement in line #52.
