For the benefit of those who may happen upon this thread as it continues:

The OP gambled with a casino. Initially, OP made small bets. Eventually, he gambled his Utsu scroll and won ~250k. Instead of paying up, the casino logged out and hasn't been on since. OP had screenshots to support his claim. Nasomi put out a server message saying that both loans and casinos are done at the user's own risk and that Nasomi will not enforce any player agreements. It did not explicitly state whether or not he would punish those that violate player agreements, but it was clear that he would not compensate players on the losing end of things.

Wait so he (the OP) traded the guy his Utsusemi scroll before rolling? If he did, he just isn't smart and I am hesitate to say this but he deserves it... if he didn't he lost nothing so who cares?

Well thats how a casino works. You give them your bet (in gil, or in this case, an item) and they compensate you back if you win, or don't if you lose. So he's not dumb to trade the scroll, as he would have had to trade the gil amount beforehand anyway in order to make the bet happen.

Giving someone... a stranger an item or gil and expecting them to honour a gambling agreement on a video game is the very definition of dumb.

Giving anyone anything under any circumstance without getting something as collateral back is just not smart, you don’t now the person. The guy is a douche for logging off with your stuff but at the same time you’re stupid for giving it to him.

I think people were gambling with the understanding that the no-fraud rule would deter what happened tonight. Things are obviously going to be different tomorrow.

They are. That doesn't mean you're free to make mistakes and have nas cover for you, though. Nasomi rules aren't meant to be used for casino insurance.

...TopShelf told Nas to roll back all your ZNM gear, do the gilpocalypse and nerf Fishing/RNG into the ground.

Can I ask why we deleted all the references to the person stealing from people?

Isn’t that literally the only useful piece of information in this entire thread? Nas said he’s not going to police trades, which is fine. So we do. Hiding the identity of a cheater makes everyone feel better about cheating.
