I'd like dland back please
« on: 21 January 2022, 06:49:23 PM »
Hi all.  I've been inactive for some time now but logged back on the other day and found that dland is owned by gerrit70 now.  dland is one of the farms I built along time ago.   It also is where my redstone lab is.   If gerrit70 is going to become inactive, I'd like to get dland back please.  Thanks!

Hi Dave. Personally this is being looked into as Gerrit probably shouldn't have spent 1.4m total on you're base and farms. Last major farm that sold that was of the caliber of yours was for like over 80m or somethingcrazy . light blue mans. Gerrit got a "friends discount" from the staff member who sold your base for 1.4m and only paid about 300k himself. personally, I do not think D Land should ever have been sold like that, especially for such a low price. it also appears like perhaps blocks were changed in the farm to "devalue it" more.. I recall seeing some changes to the farm and reading that the changes were made to lower the cost..

Personally. I think the person who sold it to Gerrit knows they significantly undervalued it. they gave him a "Friends discount" for fuck sake. I honestly see these farms being sold for this cheap and this sporadically without communicating with other staff first is a clear breach of trust. selling former staff villages, has always been taken more seriously.. so yes, I think this borderlines on abuse of power. especially the modifying it to lower the price and the "friends discount" shit. I hope every player interested in D Land got the price Gerrit was given.

Hi Octo.  Thank you for looking into my request.   No doubt I'm biased here, but I agree with everything you said.  Sounds like the way it got sold was sketchy and controversial.   If it would help, I'd be willing to refund gerrit70 the 1.4M he paid to get dland back.   If staff wants to disable the farm to cut down on server lag, I'm totally okay with that outcome as well.   I think I had it shut off before (there was a switch to do that), and I'd be fine with leaving it disabled.  It's really my redstone lab I want back.  Thanks!

I am not in contact with Gerrit, but he did make this representation the night he was asking to buy it -

[20:34:04] [Render thread/INFO]: [CHAT] <[E+][VIP] ~Codearl> If he comes back I'll definitley give it back to him

If he's still active here, maybe he can address whether he'll honor what he said.

Hey Dave!

We confirmed with Gerrit that he's happy for ownership to be returned to you. He also wanted us to extend to you his apologies, "[he] was on the hunt for books". You've been charged in accordance with what Gerrit paid for it, but we've not rolled back the disabled redstone. If you want to fix it it looks like it'll be fairly easy to do so.

Thanks for bringing it up, and welcome back to VC :)

This shit never gets any less embarrassing for you, I’m sure this has already been disproven in staff chat but jeez man, ever wonder why people don’t like to be around you?

Maybe you should go investigate some bitches lol
Guh

It is abysmal that any one person would take try to limit the happiness that Gerrit70 has brought to this dull place.

Free Gerrit70 from his chains!

Also if Dave was charged for getting D land back please take it out of my balance/gold. He shouldn’t have to pay to get his base.
