The dev made a fake discord account to get into the GPWC private discord and alleges that the people in the discord has links (maybe early?) to like... mangareader.com-type scanlations and poo poo. And you cant join the private share channel unless you’re not inactive in the alliance.

Because “I’ll let you see my scanlations if you play this game with me” is considered RMT, it’s a bannable offense, especially because lots of people in the private discord just log in every once in a while to not go inactive (so they can generate taxes for the alliance).

As a result, all the gov of NPO is banned, 95b got deleted from their bank, and GPWC is being forcibly disbanded.

A strict reading of the rules indicates “I’ll give you a steam key if you baseball good” or “I’ll buy Jackbox for us to play together if you fight good” would also be considered serious RMT offenses of the same nature.

Also, I think someone explicitly asked Alex “what if we do it in the exact specific way that GPWC does it” and he said “I wouldnt like that but it’d be a game mechanics flaw and now a moderation issue.”
