The Average WoWscape Player…is sadly misinformed.

I was taking a look at a blog which has sprung up with similar intentions to this blog. The link is War on World of Murlocs. Their first, and only blog entry is:

I guess its time to fight fire with fire I guess?

I say we just DDoS their sorry asses back into murky water!!

Who on our side do we have you ask?

Peyton’s 3 lawyers!

And her secret 4th lawyer, Johnny himself!

Clearly, while writing this blog, I’ve been under the false impression that the average WoWscape user was at least smart enough to bail ship when presented with the correct information.

The author of this blog is for starters, encouraging illegal attacks on a web server. That’s a crime, and there have been people arrested for this in the past. You are no better than the animal rights activists who raid scientist’s homes and destroy their property. You are a hypocrite.

Here’s another misinformed user, who goes by t0m0thy.

It sucks that it had to go this way. I think we, as a community, need to learn a little from this. Peyton, I know it blows to have so many people (Censored) at you over this, but you did the right thing yourself for helping them, and maybe Scape just isn’t mature enough to do it themselves yet.

Ok, so admittedly, the idea of helping out this family sounds very attractive morally. In fact, I wouldn’t mind lending them a hand myself. But the problem people have with Peyton isn’t a problem with maturity. If Peyton had at the very least informed the WoWscape players that she was going to be breaching the TOS they agreed to, this issue might not have as much merit. But even if she had, the agreement and pretext that most people donated under was that all donations go towards WoWscape’s server maintenance. Here’s why: how do we know Peyton actually donated this money back to the family? We don’t. WoWscape isn’t supposed to be a charity. If I were Peyton and I honestly wanted to help this family, I would’ve contacted the family and asked them to setup a PayPal account and informed them that I was instructing a large community of their situation and that we would try to help as much as possible.

The simple fact is: Peyton’s own facts don’t add up. She has spun a story full of so much lies that it’s getting hard to remember which lies she needs to remember in order not to contradict another lie. And it’s getting obvious.

My personal PayPal manager is going to call Silent’s father

Heyas everyone.. just to let you all know… The voting issue will be figured out soon. I have been on the phone this afternoon to paypal which was the method that was used to pay for the subscription to top100 to file a complaint. Luckily we have our very own manager there at paypal who handles all of our business and they have been given all contact info to get a hold of Silents parents to let them know what is going on. I think that his father being brought in on what is going on will help to stop the continuous bad choices that are being made. I am sorry that we are having temporary problems with this and I am trying to do what I can to rectify the situation for you guys. I have gotten all of your messages about being angry that your votes have been stolen and know that I am working on it as well as several other people.

Today’s Pinhead of the day is still Peyton. I was hoping to get an article in on Wolfy or any of the other GMs, but unfortunately, things didn’t work out. Don’t worry though, I’ll try to get to everyone.

First, let’s begin with the claim that WoWscape has their own personal PayPal agent. To resolve this, I gave the kind folks at PayPal a call. Since I have my own account and do business with them, I was able to get on the line with an agent fairly quickly and asked Maria up front whether it was possible for someone to have a personal manager at PayPal, who handled specifically issues with their account. Maria kindly informed me that PayPal offered no such service. So, part one here is debunked.

Next, we have the claim that a PayPal agent would call someone unrelated to the ownership of the account and talk to their parents and inform them of what their son has perportedly done. No. There are so many things wrong with that idea. Not only does it likely breach PayPal’s privacy policy, but it is a huge conflict of interest situation. Not only that, but it’s creepy. What evidence would PayPal even have if Peyton was telling the truth? (Which she isn’t.) So many things could potentially go wrong here, I can guarantee PayPal would NOT be giving parents a call to explain what their son has been doing. PayPal is a business, not a net nanny.
