In reply to Theodore McFarlane (msg # 719):
Actually, nobody accused him of anything.
However... about half an hour after he joked about resurrecting StarMaster, somebody logged into (only) the two games that LordVince had contacted us about taking over, using StarMaster's account. This person gave LordVince GM status in both games and removed the "sole ownership" flag from the other one. You can actually see this for yourselves -- if you look at the Cast List, StarMaster apparently logged in to this game near the end of July.
It doesn't matter who did it. Logging in to somebody else's account, for any reason, is a violation of RPoL's rules. If we have an idea who did it we don't waste time with an accusation, we just ban their account until they have convinced us that they'll comply with the site rules in future.
Note that Vince's account has not been banned.
I'm just as puzzled as anyone about this. Maybe moreso because I didn't take possession of Robs computer until August 1st. The treatment facility where Rob passed away would not give me the possessions he left behind, there, until I could produce his Death Certificate -- as I was not a Blood Relative nor a Designated Heir.
Technically, I'm not even the Executor of his estate! He didn't leave a Will. That's why I had to jump through hoops to get his stuff. I'm just a longtime friend trying to take care of some of his final business.
Robs computer was physically locked away from just after his death until I got it on August 1st. I got witnesses & paperwork to prove that. I don't know what, why, or how the RPoL servers say otherwise. I can only imagine that doing that would require skills I just don't have. Nor can I think of anyone I know who could, or
would, do that! Or even
WHY they'd do that!
My "Voodoo" joke was about Rob "Speaking from The Grave" -- I was going to go back through my emails and find the one where he'd said he was concerned about his slow down on the games and wanted to know if I'd help on a couple. He then created the "Starwolf" persona for me -- even tagged it as "GM" -- but didn't assign me any GM access.
I mentioned this during a visit with him, and he said that he got tired and hadn't finished the set up. He died before he got that done.
Doesn't matter. I'm done with this shit. I'm not gonna corrupt all the years of great memories I have from this game arguing with people I neither know nor give a shit about.
It's been great, Guys. I will miss you all so much. I'm hoping we'll cross paths again, in other places.
