The Pload Crew

[Plexious]

The Pload Crew is a name I gave to a group of Pload's friends and Pload himself. The Pload Crew consists of the following people.
Pload (104) 71.251.204.64
Lex (177) 149.241.45.77
StoreClerk (188) 70.140.26.55
Predator (215) 72.22.118.255
Pload (1077) 71.251.204.64

Pload
Pload was the worst offender. When he first connected my thoughts were simply "Oh wow, Pload joined my server" I had no idea of the stuff he would cause. I got pretty suspicious of him very fast. All he did was idle in the bank and deposit every paycheck he got. As soon as he saved up enough money, a few members of his crew connected withing a minute of each other. Pload bought a Sniper Rifle and Guns Akimbo for him and his crew. They didn't start killing until they got to the top of the mountain. I would of banned them, but sadly it wasn't a rightful reason to ban them for. A player eventually bought an OSR and killed them both and shortly after that they got jailed. I didn't loose suspicion. After a few hours I /spied Pload to see what he was doing. He was laboring which I didn't think was odd but the way he moved was. He would chop down a tree, instantly turn to the next tree, and chop that tree down and never stop chopping. I used MSI Afterburner to record and I fetched him to an area just outside the city limits and saw his bot glitch out. I banned him and his alt.

I also found some logs of him reconnecting to avoid arrest.

Predator
Predator was the easiest to figure out. He accompanied Pload and his rampage on the mountain. When he bought an OSR and killed a few clueless people I knew something was up. I /spied him and saw he was hiding inside a large cube on StoreClerk's lot. I banned him.

StoreClerk
After seeing all of Pload's other friends get banned I grew suspicious of StoreClerk. Everything seemed legit untill one day I got on the server to see that he had made nearly $20,000 overnight. I knew this wasn't humanly possible so I checked out his lot and found 2 safes, 2 ATM's, a vehicle spawn+bicycle, and 6 player trees, all adding up to another $30,000. I asked him how on RTB and he played dumb pretty blatantly and even admitted to using a radar. To test out the radar, I went into a random spot underground and hid inside a cube. I gave myself demerits manually and /spied him. Right after checking the criminals online, he grabs his bike, uses the bike glitch to get into the area under the roads and approaches my cube. After he sees my sign I put up with print bricks saying "No radars" he does a 180 and pretends to not know where I am. A quick check of his data file from my CRP shows that he jailed less than twenty people and collected only about 100 resources. Even if he idled for 2 days straight he would fall about $40,000 short of what he has now.


It's hard to believe that people look up to people like this. If you host a decent CityRP(G) I suggest to ban the entire Pload Crew from your server. I'm sure there's more members in the Pload Crew but these are the only ones I know of so far.

This isn't the first thread on them.

seems like a douchey thing to do

Mmm talk about overdue drama.

Pload and Predator specifically are pretty unpleasant players. I've seen the "crew" in various forms and I can agree that they are pretty brash and seem to try and break things or disrupt servers. They are very suspicious people.

As individual people, they are pretty casual. But when they uh "bunch together" something goes wrong.

and to think i donated to his server
im starting to think that was a plot, he starts his server up, people play and donate, and then he shuts it down when he makes a quick hundred bucks

[Placid]

i remember the last pload trolling topic that came up when i got banned
lol

anyways, pload is a pretty good troll and i really haven't seen him do much other than troll for awhile. i'd avoid him at all costs at this point.

Yeah he tries to cover his tracks.

He was trolling and breaking DaProgs server in a drama I made about Predator and Pload a while a go. He then said it was "to test the exploits of the server for DaProgs beta mod" but when I asked DaProgs he denied knowledge.

[Extrude]

I don't know about the rest of them, but Predator is cool.

internet tough guys

What.

[Lugnut]

Yeah. I don't remember what exactly the deal was, I think I complained about how people wouldn't listen when I was elected leader on the jail escape server, next thing I know, despite seemingly being in the good and getting offered a spot as sniper, I'm banned permanently.

Right around then I was exploring Ravencroft's now dead cityrpg, and the pload crew connected as a group. I inquired about my ban (probably with anger behind it, I don't remember, it was a while ago) and they got mad.

Fun guys.

[Tezuni 2.0]

Pload and this exact same crew joined my Jail RP and started free-killing every single prisoner, then they promptly left.  This was after I was hospitable to them.

I permanently banned all of them from my server.

admitted to using a radar

If you look at the chat image, I'm asking about the blank radar in your GUI and offering help to fix it (along with other problems which needed debugging).

I knew you were underground because you previously asked "how did you get in here" and the guy replied about using the bike to glitch in. Then I followed him (name began with a C, maybe it was Cougar or Cheddar).

Nevertheless, how can I make 20,000 overnight if yesterday I had 10,000+ in the bank along with a house, etc.

and to think i donated to his server

There is a disclaimer that Pload is not required to host, and donating entitles you to nothing.

I will not say how much he was given but it was less than a hundred dollars, which was then split between three people. The hours spent coding, building, and modeling adds up to only a few cent per hour.

He was trolling and breaking DaProgs server

DaProgs welcomed our bot, even toying with it to break it; we are now friends. There is no need to police servers you don't own.

Yeah. I don't remember what exactly the deal was, I think I complained about how people wouldn't listen when I was elected leader on the jail escape server, next thing I know, despite seemingly being in the good and getting offered a spot as sniper, I'm banned permanently.

You weren't banned for that.

[Harm94]

I bet one of those ploads is Jcink. Many Blocklanders use to play on his server from back in the day. I miss Storeclerks ephi is a whale conspiracy theory.

[Lugnut]

You weren't banned for that.

oh. i wasn't sure. why was it again?
