And I just want to commend you for sticking with it, I of course did not start out playing MafiaMatrix but InJustice instead. And I must say, it was not easy and I often thought about why anyone would invest so much time in a game that seemed so pointless. That is, until I met the one person that would change my entire outlook on the game. Friendships and a community of players sharing one common interest is what this game is about, and that is the way it should be. Should you continue playing and need someone to talk to, you can message in game. My current character is Hyjal, also known as Kyoto. Ryan, I’m a fellow MafiaMatrix player.

That is strange. I definitely donated the $10/$5 on the blackg****@ account, which is the one I've been using and had Luckbad then Bard on. I did suicide a character early on and may have made Luckbad on the wrong account or something. As far as the gear goes... I transferred most of my stuff from Luckbad to a friend (the one you talked to) during the insane gang war because I accidentally went gangster and figured I'd get whacked. Luckbad did get whacked by a player, after which I created Bard. I had my friend transfer the following to Bard thereafter: - Pitbull named "Dogbad" - Kevlar Bullet-Proof Vest - Galaxy King Transporter - Assault Rifle - Pistol - $300k Unfortunately, I forgot to transfer my clothes, and I had $1 mil invested when I got whacked (on Luckbad by a player, so I lost those legitimately). After starting Bard, I decided to go armed forces and full legit (wasn't allowed to travel, and didn't need the transport space), so I sold my Galaxy King Transporter to another player for $1 mil. He gave me $300k upfront and was going to give me the $700k later, but I got admin whacked before that happened. He may have never given me the rest anyway. Bard had the following stuff on him when he was admin whacked, apart from the default crap clothes: - Assault Rifle - Pistol - Kevlar Bullet-Proof Vest - Pitbull named "Skald" (6-7 days old) - $600k Bard only existed for maybe a day before I got whacked. I'd managed to do my 15 (?) army trains just before I went to sleep so I could start my career in the armed forces, then woke up and was admin whacked. Is it possible that there's no record of any of that gear on Bard because he was whacked so soon after he was created (i.e. before a server backup)? The only thing I really regret losing is the pitbull, which I camped for in Miami for an entire day to get. I trained him around 200 times (mostly via community service, but spent several hours in Beirut with him). His name was Dogbad when I owned him with Luckbad, then I changed his name to Skald when I transferred him over to Bard. Either way, I'll be able to get those things again, it'll just take some time. It really only took about 3 days to pick up all the hard-to-get items (pitbull, bullet-proof vest, assault rifle). This time around if I go with rifleman in armed forces I can get the gun, and I guess I'll start in Miami so I can pick up a dog and vehicle as they become available. Anyway, thanks for listening and lifting the suspension. At least I can play. Time to clear my cookies... Thanks much, Moberator. That is strange.

The normal responses I get are like "wtf y u whack me 4? it woz my bro not me" I am usually quite happy to do it for players who admit their mistake and apologize, or go through and explain things like you have, I'm not completely heartless yet lol. Yes you have been quite civil about things. I guess it's difficult for some games to whack their players when they pay subscriptions, but MM is a mostly free game and we don't treat donating players differently from others. I will change the account information on your wifes account so there is no possible mix up in the future, even if she doesn't want to play. Something that is a little confusing is that your wife's account was created before your own, so are you sure she didn't invite you? Your wife (Windfall) also had a one week old character, and donated the $10 and $5 while you had a 1 day old character. rshwa****@gmail.com created on 2008-04-15 23:13:47 blackg****@nerfbat.com created on 2008-04-16 06:27:29 Neither characters have vehicles, pitbulls, assault rifles as you suggest. You may have had them with LuckBad, that that character was killed by a player in the game and not an admin so yes you will have lost all that gear. Be sure to clear your cookies as well or it won't let you in until after that week. Mob Ryan,
