The fact is stated clearly that the confessional was opened so that guilty parties could come forward and be penalized, rather than banned.  It gives folks a chance to come clean and not lose so many months and/or years of work.  The other option considered was to ban everyone who did it.  Why would they threaten banishment and then offer mercy if this were not true?

So if you're a guilty party, your options are thus:  Either you lose your scammed funds and the result of those or you risk losing everything.  I'd bet on confession.

   If it's so easy to find them then why this strange 24hr threat of admitting it or getting deleted, it makes no sense at all. it would mean that most would get deleted without a chance of admitting it. Which would raise the question of what's the purpose of a confession window at all, if you know that most will not be able to confess...something to think about

   The way this is being handled it seems quite obvious that it's very very hard to find all the people exploiting this, that would be the only reason to open this 'confessional'. If it were easy for you to identify them all, you would just punish them all, not open this 'Honesty Box'.


   So, basically, the purpose of this can only be to make it easier to find the guilty parties, and avoid a long process of what I can imagine is a  lengthy trawl through a s*** load of data....Or could it be that you're just trying to scare out people you know you won't be able to find? But I'm sure this isn't it...

   
   Then why such a short time period to confess? Since the percentage of people who will see this during your 24hr period will not be a considerable one, if not tiny (Not too sure of the daily traffic on the forum, but from my experience, not a lot of people check it every day, not to mention the fact that you haven't exactly made a PS wide announcement of this, I'd be pissed if I just went to 'Roleplay Events' and didn't check 'General Discussion' today...) 

   So hopefully the server downtime is purely to fix the bug in the system, as the only other reason I can see that you would put down the server is to stop the guilty ppl from covering their tracks, which would mean there is a possibility of getting away with it...


   And the only other reason I can see that you would put down the server is to stop the guilty people from covering their tracks...which would mean there is a possibility of getting away with it. That would also mean a possibly extended period of downtime, and to be honest I wouldn't mind too much if everyone was just put back to 0, it's going to happen anyway.



*And if you're having trouble, I recommend calling in Tom Selleck, 'cos Magnum P.I got s*** done  *

There is a solution and I know what the problem is. The trouble is with what you are saying to the npc before he asks for the tria, you are actually supposed to say something much simpler, if you don't he will still respond but won't accept the tria...say something simpler, look at the quest hints and tips if necessary.
  This wasn't the most crystal clear advice from my part but I'm not going to post a spoiler

I have the same problem, has anybody found a solution yet?
