Today's update has to do with one of the more scandalous pieces of R99 history. Back at the beginning of 2012, there were a lot of rumblings from the enemies of Nihilum that the inner circle of the clan were using the raid loots to line their own pockets for RMT. Well if you spent much time in Nihilum you'd know by now who has a day job and who doesn't. Let me introduce you to someone who does not have a day job and was selfishly willing to let his entire clan go down in flames with the reputation of RMT while he was secretly the only one doing it. Worse, someone who doesn't even need money because they enjoy the support of living at home, but drugs don't pay for themselves!
The enemies of Nihilum at the time were starting threads like this http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=66199 and this http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=66192
Nihilum had a little vent meeting and fleshed out that indeed, nobody was doing RMT... or at least nobody would admit it. Turns out there was an RMT'er in our midst, by the name of Natural. He decided not to speak up, not to volunteer that he was the one with those account names, that he was the one doing the selling, no, he was comfortable to let the blame for his greed diffuse amongst the entire clan while he continued to hide behind the tag and farm.
After weeks of blatantly hiding from PvP by being under the Nihilum tag while farming, and not showing up to any raids or helping anyone else in the clan, Natural was developing a bad reputation for himself in the clan. When these screens came out, the RMT scum was removed from clan, Nihilum could officially announce we are 100% RMT free, and Natural went to Diablo 3. He's since come back from Diablo 3 for a reason I could have told you a year ago. Cheap Chinese Labor. Obvious to anyone with a brain, I know, but he had big dreams.
See the big dreams of RMT in D3, RMT on R99, and the depths of selfishness in the following:

Confirmation of RMT and his seller status, along with a conversation I was having with Cinda about PvP. Myself and Hijinx had just earlier wiped 5 Holocaust from LGuk with 2 of us, including Letsjoe, Smallmee, Moru, Kief, and Target. We'd also attacked a full group of FF there the previous day but had to gate out because they were organized and waiting on us as we zoned in.
Killed Natural with Milkshake healing nearby. This is a self-proclaimed top 5% player, and he never dispels in pvp. All he did was tash me and try to Enthrall me over and over before dying, and expected his healer to run to him instead of him run to his healer. I joined Nihilum a few days later and every day without fail I'd hear this guy complain about how MES never lands in pvp. ON THIS SERVER WHERE EVERYTHING LANDS ON UNDER 160MR. Why did mes never land for this top 5% enc in pvp? Because he never opens with dispel. He expects it to just work. Noob shit.
So there's your top 5%, kids who live at home and RMT for quarter bags, don't dispel in pvp, and had no idea chinese labor would flood D3 RMAH markets. Thank you R99 for introducing us to yet another embarrassment of an online gamer. You have a magical quality about bringing these people together in one place.
