On January 14th, 2026 at approximately 2:30PM, I discovered that one of our very own Moderators has been 1) Receiving large, mysterious (and most importantly, untaxed) point donations from unnamed benefactors 2) Rigging points-per-featured game, and most disgustingly, 3) Robbing graves for measly points as far back as 2021!

This has brought his point total to an astounding over ten-thousand. For reference, Ogre11, who has published twenty-three storygames since 2014, only has seven-thousand points!

We are assuming this criminal did not do this on his own, and has unnamed, criminal accomplices walking around these very streets. Perhaps they will name themselves to avoid greater punishment later.

How do you plead, @ISentinelPenguinI ?

And if you believe you deserve point compensation for your tireless writing, reviewing and contributing unlike this sick, gluttonous bird, let it be known. Five-hundred of 2500 of these reclaimed points will be distributed to those who believe they have earned them. The rest will benefit the Warden Charity Drive.

Thank you for your tireless efforts in persecuting prosecuting this cretin, it was a pleasure to help make him face justice.

Can a Sherbet get a cut of that?

SENT WHAT DID YOU DO TO THESE

I don't suppose someone would be willing to give him one more point just to offset that horrible number? Hell, I'm even willing to give it if it means that it goes away.

Edit: Thank you to whoever did that; some of my sanity has been restored.

I wouldn't say no to some free points. Can't have them being wasted on Wardens of all people.

Alternatively send them to Liminal since he's been directed draw me from what I've seen.

Ah yes, the clause that reads, Any penguin which commits point fraud on CYS lands will have said points takenth away and giventh back onto the community.

I have to recuse myself from the rest of this case however as both the prosecutor and defendent draw me pictures on demand.

But look, Thara has never drawn me a picture, not even once, and Malk is reportedly Satan. So I'd like to suggest them both as accomplices.

I mean. I only took the 400 and was going to leave it at that, but then Mizal took the rest. . .

That was a random act of power abuse, those are different.

Truthfully, this is really all the fault of whoever conspired to just casually poof 1000 unreported points into existence on Dec 19th. (I blame Thara.)

To remind the 1% of what life is like for the rest of the population, if you read every game currently on the site, that equals 1091 points. While building a guillotine costs none at all. I had to act not just for JUSTICE but for all our safety.

Sent will just have to find another diamond encrusted toilet seat somewhere, I can't imagine it was all that comfortable to use in the first place.

His golden mansion is getting repossessed within the hour.

I plead NOT GUILTY! 

I refuse to accept even a shred of culpability for this, as this has nothing to do with anything I have done. I have never once awarded myself any points that were not stolen from a dead account. Those instances of rightful looting I hold to be sacrosanct under common law, as they were readily accepted at the time, and the opportunity was open to non-moderators as well. Chris, Malk, and I believe even Sherbet were all readily cut in to that heist and not a hand has been raised against them. The readily accepted practice of point confiscation has, in fact, continued, against living offenders no less, long after that initial incident, and no one-- Not Thara nor her numerous unremembered benefactors-- has seen a smidgeon of consequences for this, nor, I believe, should they. Out of the points that have been confiscated from me, I want those specific ones back, because if taking trophies from the corpse of an enemy is criminal, then I don't want to be innocent. I will be countersuing this sham of a state on this matter if they are not returned.

As far as the other admin bonuses, I don't care, take them. I appreciate that some administrators respect greatness when they see it, but I didn't give them to myself and have no idea where they came from. If you have suddenly decided to judge these donations as fraudulent, then that's your prerogative, but leave me out of it! And also, the points-per-featured thing is literally an automated process! An automated process, I might add, on a site that's so old, that even if I went and took one of those free coding courses that teaches you how to read programming or whatever, I'd have no idea  What the fuck do you think I did!? This is an outrageous accusation!

Sure, banned persons often have their points redistributed. But you went out of your way to grave rob for points, while honest, morally sound others (like moi) have worked tirelessly for their points. Your shit posts are honorable but not thousand points honorable!

Also shouldn't have gotten caught lol

"Banned persons often have their points redistributed", that was not a precedent that was set nor a thing that regularly happened until long after Malk and I invented grave robbery, I'm sorry to say. It was public knowledge when we were doing it, there was nothing to "catch", and if you had asked or named names at the time when you weren't a mod, you certainly would have been allowed to have those points too. But you did not!

I would have not wanted any amount of dead rotten points 😇

THEN IT WILL HAVE BEEN YOUR LOSS, WOULDN'T IT'VE?

How do you live in an igloo that smells like old gross points!

IT'S NOT AN IGLOO IT'S A SUBMARINE IN LAKE MICHIGAN THAT SMELLS EXTREMELY NORMAL FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

Huh. And here I thought you would have something better than a typewriter.

Go on, show us the mattress on the floor in the corner, Sent.

I literally didn't know taking points from a banned person was a thing (how does that make sense?) but it does seem to give mods a good incentive to ban people (along with all the other excellent reasons those doomed individuals generously provide by themselves). I assumed Sent's 10,000+ points came from his 10,000+ incisive and frequently hilarious forum posts and the admiration and love of his fellow mods in the form of random point bonuses, which are each their own thing. All the points from duelling, rating and writing I think are fully justified but, tbf, if we're going to audit Sent we might as well audit everybody. And those are a lot of generously-proportioned cans of worms - gotta admire your cojones here MHD :D

Please refer to my commendations, featured stories, and SITE ART.

I resent my name coming up here, penguin! Had I been in on that heist, I'd be a nine-thousandaire right now! I've never given myself so much as a single point!

My feelings are that as Will and Ogre have around 7500 points each, both with ancient very productive accounts matched by few others, no mod at the start of 2026 can justify having more than that. (And this has been corrected also in the one other instance of overly disgusting wealth display.)

Sherb and I btw, who are humble and honest, don't even have 7000!

This is the only reasoning I will hear for the confiscation. I can live with that.

Off with his head!!

It's not about the points, it's about the wardens not getting them. So if any get sent my way, it's for a good cause.

Thank you for these points. I shall put them to good use. For what, I do not know, but it will be a good use.

Those other points, while given a foul name, are still appreciated.

NEVER MIND, THOSE ARE HORRIBLE POINTS GIVEN WITH FOUL INTENTIONS; PLEASE TAKE THEM AWAY FROM ME.

I was barely arsed to do the math in the first place. They're yours now

Damn it, fine.

Just going to chalk all of this up to Socialism/Communism/Democracy/whatever this site is about. (I really don't know much about forms of government, lol.) Boo Sent, yay nice admins, points are ultimately meaningless, we are all fighting over numbers, and all that jazz. I'm leaving this dispute for a little bit; Let's hope this doesn't end in the site crashing and burning to the ground.
