Ok. I may be a little harsh but for the offtopic things:
If I were going to duel for some good items with weapon stats on, I would equip my best gear for it definitely. You can't say you wouldn't either.
2. The scam for the snowflakes.. I'll just post the tradelog here:
Pretty big lowball for sure. Definitely not something we want a +member (who new players expect to trust) doing. however, was it scamming? No. Definitely not. The guy accepted, no questions asked. Excel did his offer, and the guy accepted.. That's what trading is all about.. You're allowed to offer anything you want. That is NOT scamming. If they accept, good for you. Scamming would be if he did something like:
You get the point.
The rest of the reports/claims: I need proof to go on to validate them.
Now the main report:
Yes. This is exploiting, because it's working in a way that it's NOT designed to. The balls are not supposed to go through a crack this small. It's basically clipping through the door, which is in turn exploiting. I may just make random orbital strikes happen if you stay in the same radius for too long(it would work like a 'heatmap' type thing, the more you go in that radius, the more it adds to a strike happening there.. So you can't just leave the radius and go back. It wouldn't 'cool off' that quickly)
Now for the punishment, I'll talk to Jake about his opinion on the matter, and what should happen. it's really not good for someone of his rank to do things like this. It represents FRG poorly.
Quote:Oh excuse me, I totally agreed on "Hey you can use your totally unfair shotgun and I can just use a standard shotgun! THAT'S FAIR!"1. The duel was completely fair. You could have checked "statless weapons", there's TWO screens to accept. Once you accept, you are literally ACCEPTING the terms of the duel, no matter the outcome. I don't know why you didn't check statless weapons to begin with.. Unless there was some glitch or exploit that still applied weapon stats, then it's on YOU for not selecting more appropriate rules. You duel/stake at your OWN RISK.

Victim: Hmm. Maybe.
ImNotScammingOrAnything: I'm giving you a good deal since you're new too. If you don't want to do it that's fine, I'll just find someone else. i'm overpaying quite a bit so it wont be too hard to find one.
