Public Duping Testimonials

[Nevetos 511]

What is this all about?

Recently, we have recorded a few individuals who have been using an exploitation method which we were alerted to recently. It appears that this method was rather popular. As such, we find it just to give them the popularity they so deserve. So sit back and eat some popcorn.

All individuals who have been observed using the method have, and will be spoken to. Honesty goes a long way here. They will then have their houses wiped, their bank balance reduced to a maximum of 8 million and then banned for one week. (Outdated)

Edit #2: The second round sees a ban of one month, with a chance for public appeal after one week. (Outdated)

Edit #3: The third and all consecutive bans see an indefinite ban, with a chance for a public appeal. You will receive a complete player wipe.

If you have duped in the past, are currently duping, know of dupers or of duplication methods, we suggest that you come forward (we can discuss incentives). There are still some individuals which we will approach regarding this.
 

I have popcorn but I didnt dupe, can I reply?

No, please only use reactions to show your love/hate. This place is only meant to provide fame to those that have earnt their rightful place on here (by duping).
 

I was banned, what options do I have?

Depending on your honesty, you will have to fill out certain elements of the template below, and reply to this post. You do not have to publicly respond here, you may sit out the one week ban in peace without posting here (with the exception of one person).

If you decide to post here, make sure there is effort placed into the post (e.g. not this: 'im sorry i wont do it again plz unban') or I may not unban you. As soon as a minimum of one day has passed and you have posted the apology, then you will be unbanned and are free to rejoin everyone.

ArmA 3 UID/Steam64ID: 76561198081000995

Why should you be unbanned before the seven days: To be honest, I actually didn't regularly dupe. I did it a two-three times for a few kidneys and didn't even get that much money. Most of the stuff I had in my house was actually legitimately gathered from many morning runs and, after seeing all my hard work blown up before my eyes, it was rather eye-opening. Obviously, I am in the wrong but I quite enjoy playing on this server and will continue under the same name to hopefully one day rectify my name. Feel free to roast me lads <3

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case): I've never once been banned before for breaking any rules. I have a clean record apart from this and many people on the server know me to be a good bloke (hopefully lol).

Why should you be unbanned before the seven days: Even though duping is duping I wouldn't consider myself a mass duper, I would dupe to craft because it felt impossible to get the materials any other way. I think I'm quite an active member of the strayagaming who very much enjoys the server I ment no harm to the sever just to speed things up for myself only and to have a more enjoyable time. I never sold the guns that I crafted it was just for my own benefit to get a decent gun quickly e.g (after I died to a zafir i wanted one to make it easier). I hope everyone can trust and forgive so I can join back on the fun.

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case): I've only been banned once before this for 12 hours for bumping someone in a safezone (trolling). I have quite a clean history on the server and definitely enjoy playing most of the time. (I tried some other servers and please don't make me go back there :D). If I come back I will put more effort to fix what is broken in the server/rebel gangs. I hope people don't see me as a hardcore mass duper but more of a friendly guy who is happy to help! :^)

ArmA 3 UID/Steam64ID: 76561198148904522

Why should you be unbanned before the seven days: I don't, I think I deserve to take the 7 day ban due to my actions being stupid and being led into something I knew was wrong from the start.

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case): I have had 0 priors and have respected everyone in the community. I have gotten along very well with most people I have spoken to in-game and out of game. I have enjoyed playing on the server quite a lot. I duped purely for a mate, as he had an idea to get money quick. I did lie in the questioning on why I duped, but that is because I wasn't going to snitch on my own mates. I have not been banned permanently, but still think that I should apologise. I treasured being in the support team and tried my best all the time, and made many friends solving issues in Help Desk.

ArmA 3 UID/Steam64ID: ...76561198321796392

Why should you be unbanned before the seven days: ...It has been over seven days for myself however i was banned indefinitely with the chance to appeal after seven days. I am very sorry for my actions which were duping and then i proceeded to lie to the straya gaming staff about it.  the reasons i duped was because i just did not want to worry about money in the game, i duped about 20 million dollars but i never really did anything with the money, i never bought a house or anything. i only bought new vehicles if mine were blown up or new guns if i died. i also lied to the staff once they found out i duped because i was worried i would get banned. (here i am of course, to anyone reading this DO NOT LIE TO THE STAFF)  i am very sorry for lying to the staff, i just want to be able to join my mates once again for some fun and honest gaming in my free time once again. 

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case): ...I am very sorry for what i have done and i have learned a very valuable lesson, for those reading this i give you the advice of do not exploit  the game for any reasons and do not lie to the staff for any reasons. just play the game honestly. i regret my actions and have learned a lesson i wont forget, i hope the community and staff can forgive me and let me prove myself as an honest member. i can promise i will never exploit the game again a lesson hard learned but a lesson i deserved.

Regular Player Name (Which you are most known for): Biscuit

ArmA 3 UID/Steam64ID: 76561198806710647

Why should you be unbanned before the seven days: I believe I should be unbanned off of Straya as I have placed many hours in the Server that I have grown to Love and Enjoy and a few stupid acts, (that I would come to majorly regret) although the punishments were justified, should not have been there and I was sorry for ever duping in the first place. I understand I also killed a few Admins but that was all in hate of the momement and I should'nt have done them and I hated that I did. I did mass dupe but I never handed out the gear, It was more for the thrill, infact I rarely used it as I didn't want to get caught. I am incredibly sorry for all the inconviniences this made for staff and all the rules that are made NOT to be broken that I did break.

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case):  I actually told Admins my method to dupe and was being honest, it was the fact that I killed them in the heat of the moment of anger that was me RDM'ing and breaking that rule that was deceptive. I have already expressed my condolences and regret to this action however, I do not know why I did it (it was incredibly stupid).

Why should you be unbanned before the seven days: Ban Period has Passed. Requested to post an apology due to the extent of my duping.

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned: The community should trust me because I have stopped abusing glitches and or dupes. I only duped during the period I did for cosmetic purposes, as the weapons at the end of the day weren't a significant benefit over gear that I could get legitimately.

As well as that i've shown that I have changed my behaviour, since the ban i've reported dupers and prior to my ban I provided information to the staff team which resulted in the largest duping method on the server being removed. I am apologetic for any effect on the server population my actions may have caused, I had no intent to degrade any other players experience on the server.

Why should you be unbanned before the Month: ... I feel that I should be unbanned because I want to play on straya made a lot of friendships here and don't want to throw that away. I would also like to finish filming my meme montage that I am currently making.

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case): ... I feel the community should trust me again because i will never dupe again the only reason i duped was for self-gain just before the server gets wiped and so i could have fun without doing 10hours+ of runs( which currently has no point because server is being wiped) to make a decent amount of money to survive the week with the kit I play with. I only fight SRT and the cop force because all the gangs are 'bots' and I don't die to them I only die to SRT making them a challenge and i enjoy challenges due to them having op guns like m320's and level 5 vests etc which can get quite annoying. But at the end of the day i will never dupe again on straya please forgive me and have a good day :)

Why should you be unbanned before the month : I believe that i should be unban before the month ban is over because before i was ban i was trying my best to help out the server running events with axle and trying to help in anyway.

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case): The community can trust this apology due to the fact that i only did it because of self gain i didn't want to ruin the servers economy i just tried to make some easy cash. over the last week i have been playing other strayagaming arma 3 service's trying to regain my reputation by doing this im trying to prove that im trust worthy and deserve to be unban and the community should be able to trust me, I have also never got ban for doing anything this bad before so.

ArmA 3 UID/Steam64ID: 76561198121024053

Why should you be unbanned before the Month: I feel like I should be unbanned before the Month is over because I have fully reconciled for what I have done and realise that I should never have done it and there aren't any words that I know that could fully describe how sorry I am for ever effecting the community and the economy, I never wanted to affect the community I only did this for self gain

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case): I didn't lie when I was caught because I knew that lying was only going to make my sentence worse.

ArmA 3 UID/Steam64ID: 76561198045432448

Why should you be unbanned before the seven days: After speaking with a few people after I was banned, I have been made aware how my actions affect the game, and been made aware how I was exploiting. Never had plans to ruin the gameplay, or fun, for anyone on the server (Pretty obvious.. we all enjoy playing strayagaming).  I never intended to exploit the server, and had no knowledge I was doing so.  I explained to the admins in teamspeak that I did not intentionally use an exploit, and was completely unaware an exploit was being used.

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case): Ignorance is never an excuse for breaking rules, but it is the only excuse I can give. I believe I've treated everyone with respect since joining this server and would never intend to disrespect the gaming experience that everyone enjoys on this server. I am interested in the feedback I recieve from this and accept everyones opinion on this apology post, and the matter at hand. Please direct all feedback and hate mail to hadothadot@go oglemail.com. Thank you

Why should you be unbanned before the seven days: I believe i should be unbanned for the main reason i've been active on the server for a long time now and feel i genuinely ****ed up, with that being said i'd hate for all the time i've spent on the server getting to know everyone and making new friends just to throw it all away for my excruciatingly dumb mistake. In summary I'm sorry i've exploited a bug in the system before letting it go and telling the right people but believe i should be unbanned because i care about the community and enjoy playing within it.

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case): We did not lie about us doing the exploit.

Regular Player Name (Which you are most known for): Kmart

ArmA 3 UID/Steam64ID: 76561198440063733

Why should you be unbanned before the seven days: I should be unbanned because this was my first offense that involved exploiting. I have had my ban of 1 month, and have had other punishments such as a player wipe. I have truly learnt my lesson and I will never dupe or exploit again. I had duped so I did not have to buy items so I could save money, this was wrong of me and I should have used my hard earnt cash to buy those items instead of duping them. I hope to have 1 more chance at the server and prove that I can be a good community member, follow the rules and respect my fellow gamers. 

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case): The community should trust this apology because I have been very open and honest about my situation. I have played on this server since 2018 and I have always followed the rules and respected other players until recently. I promise my actions will change and I honestly regret doing what I did. I am truly sorry for what I did, and I promise I will never be involved in such exploits ever again. I hope you can forgive me

Why should you be unbanned before the seven days: because i just wanted to help out the brothers

Why should the community trust this apology, given that you were lying and/or being deceptive when being questioned (Only applicable if you were lying/being deceptive - I will tell you if this was the case):    I get that duping 400 million wasnt the smartest of decisions however Unix and myself did a lot of charity work with the money, giving money to new players and just all around good people on the server etc... i now know that it wasnt worth it in the end bc we did kinda ruin the economy but there where good intentions of why we did it.
