you're sure it's the runuo mark? how unexpected.

Hehe, yeah it's him. But hopefully he has grown up and stopped cheating nowadays.

He was pretty addicted to it back in the days, I still remember him "trying to quit cheating" like an addict trying to quit drugs. Was fun to see him try for a couple of days but then couldn't hold back anymore but had to try and hide another cheat somewhere, hehehe (the other admins removed his cheats when they found it and told him to stop, that is why he tried, but he never really managed to stop). They however felt they needed him and his good scripting knowledge, and that is why he never got fired.

The only problem was that he was an Admin and I was an Head GM at XUO so I had to gather a lot of proof before I posted his cheats. I did (which was expected) get fired at first since he was the admin, but after everybody had viewed the screenshots, and Jakko had seen his cheats himself in game, it just wasn't much left to do but to fire him.

I guess Jakko was in denial at first since Mark was a good scripter, but not even good scripters can stay at a shard if he can't stay away from cheating. I'm still glad I exposed him in front of letting him keep cheating, I've never been a big fan of cheats and I'm never going to allow it at a shard I staff at, but I'm pretty sure that won't be a problem here at IN-X :]

The funny thing about Mark is that Mark normally didn't even try to hide his cheats. I still remember the first day Dragon Scale came to Novus Opiate, the only way to get it was to kill lots of monsters that carried the ingot I believe, and then craft an armor from it. Mark came running with a whole set like 1 hour after it was added, that was fun considering it took ages to gather normally ^^ (Mark was an GM at the real Novus Opiate as well, that's where I met him at first).

At XUO he had about 100 tubs in his bank (at an early stage), pretty much 10000 of any ingot, a newbied battle axe named *chop chop*, which was the best weapon in the game, only that it was newbied, renamed, and recolored He also had a crossbow that was 1-hit-killing, that is the weapon he actually shot Jakkos mortal with just being getting fired, I guess Jakko needed to "feel" Marks cheats for himself before he could get out of that denial he was in.

Oh well enough bad talk about Mark from my side. I suppose he hasn't showed his best side to me during my time staffing next to him, but perhaps he has changed nowadays, after going to some "anti-cheat-clinic" or something, or perhapas just grown up I suppose he wouldn't be staffing at the RunUO-shard if he would still be cheating..
