Lark, I'm not going to dispute your version of events, as I wasn't online the days in question. However, I will point out that there two sides to every story and I will be addressing your grievances with my guys and laying down some rules FOR EVERYONE. I built this server with good intentions, but some are getting a sense of entitlement, and I will put a stop to it. I have locked down all the admin tools and will be scouring the database for banned weapons, and vehicles. I am in process of fixing the traders so that every item is available and that everyone can have a fair chance at the best gear. If my clan wishes to follow the Blackmarketeer model we will have to do it legitimately. I will provide the buildings and that is it. I have figured out the database management enough to enable new and different vehicles to be bought and sold at the traders. But no game breakers. With that in mind, I will not be enabling the return of the Armored Black SUVs as I feel that they are overpowered.

Not angry, just trying to regain control. I'm editing the server as we speak until things settle down. When it is fully implemented I hope that the server will be a unique experience for anyone who visits. For now, I going to wait until the dust settles and then move forward with our intended Blackmarket Trading Post. As to buying vehicles, the only objects out of stock are helis and aircraft. That will change in time.... Once the kamikazee attacks have stopped.

No, my contention is that the Admins did not spawn it in. I am aware that a hacker joined the game and spawned in stuff that I have banned. My guys grabbed the stuff. That hacker has been dealt with and will not be involved further. This is DayZ, and script kiddies happen, I can only deal with issues as I find them.

I'm the Server Owner for "The Syndicate". I am aware of the incident, and am not happy with my own clan-mates that baited "AZTEC" in using side chat. For the record: No special weapons, (Or tanks for that matter..haha) were spawned into game, both sides were using stock weapons. (I reviewed the logs to confirm this.) While we do spawn custom vehicles no game breaking weapons are allowed. It is my intention to run a clean custom server. As to banning the members of Hippo's clan. Yes, I did that in the name of server peace. It had to end. The members of my group have been chastised and warned that as long as they run with my Admin group they are to adhere to a neutral status. They abused side chat, and they have been warned. After being away from the server for a couple of days, (the real life job), I came back to find that chaos has reigned, the server has been infested with griefers, doing nothing more than blowing up the Admin base based off of this forum posting. (Confirmed by a third party.) I am attempting to rectify many problems right now. Just to be clear the Official Admins took no part in this.
