I had alerted my town that I wasn't really able to get online due to internet problems.
I already posted within the Ched Nasad page on Wednesday, but whatever. To quote what I said there ALREADY:

"Hey guys, sorry for not being on. Unfortunately, I have been having sever internet problems of late. It seems everyone in our area upgraded their modems to 50mgs, and our internet provider wasn't ready for it. As such, my internet is frequently going down, or not being near reliable enough to get online."

Then the town leader replied back saying that I had been on another server...

Yeah and I don't believe you since you've managed to make your internet work while you play on another server...

How is it that he could have known this? It doesn't make much sense to me, and I'm kinda paranoid now about people being able to just find out whatever I'm doing at any point....

It's the internet... Practically anything you do or have ever done can be traced in one way or another. In this instance they likely just heard it from someone else that you had been online.
Does anyone in town know you were playing on the other server?

I don't think so. I had played on a sever once during that time, on a server that my friend created so we could play together after not seeing each other for several months. That was it, and even then I could barely play due to my internet problems. I wasn't lying to the leader, but it does bother me that he could know what I am doing on MC, as well as kicking me out for something like this and not allowing me to explain.

I have no clue, how towns induct players to their towns is completely up to them and is in no way, shape or form, dictated by the server.

Well, i do know one thing - you have the right to get your items from the town, so i'd get in touch with the town mayor and tell them that.

Going to be honest, this kind of thing is easy to hunt down with a simple google search of your MC name. Though going to say, Jazz is correct.

Well, just throwing this out there... the town doesn't actually have to give you your stuff back unless they're nice enough to do so... Unless I'm wrong now and the rules have changed.

Only LWC items must be given back. It is up to the town whether they want to let you get the other stuff.

Generally if it is an LWC, an Admin will move the chests for you, but the other stuff the town can take if they like.

So you are correct =]

Since you are quoting me it would be nice to know when accusations are tossed around about me and my town.

Try goggling your MC name and see what pops up - how do you think the Proctors do background checks on people before white listing them. There are sites that track when users were last seen and what server they were connecting to. Just because you were white listed by the Staff doesn't mean we don't do our own checks - especially before we give someone the boot for inactivity. I check each and everyone town member online before placing them on the eviction list and send them a forum IM 10-14 days prior to eviction.

Town policy is 1 month inactivity without prior notice will result in removal from town - right there in the Rules on the first page of our Thread.

You were notified via forum IM about your pending removal from the town before you decided to let anyone know you were having trouble.

After I replied and said you were kicked from the town did you reply to the IM voicing your concerns or ask questions ? Did you talk to anyone in game (or on TS) before / after the events ?

@gabizou had informed me otherwise.. We were told we must let the players that were kicked from town get their items. I was originally under the impression that town mayors could keep their items, but apparently that only applies to inactive players.

Indeed since you are quoting me and xargun let me explain to. while xargun explained a part so nicely
after 1 month inactive ..we store your good stuff..maybe more if you are a good player. after some time that will be shared if your not returning.
Response we want a active town..so we planning on a kick if your longer then a month inactive .also if you login for 5 min that does not count for us maybe for your LWC but not for the town.
Tracking peeps is easy.. sins we started..we had a few dodgy peeps.so we asked some to screen better. if some don't know the ask me. and yes i can see a lot ..because i have been staff owner mod and archie before. so if the good admins whitelist ya here it does not mean you have a green pass into or town. i like to check your Hole Mc background. to decide if your shady or not.. if so we talk about it.. like we tried with you good sir. i know the server you and a few went to.. because i know a few there. and i even sayed hello to you with 1 of my many alts when you claimed you had no internet connection. the point is sir.. you claimed to have no way to connect after you where pmed you where on the list. because of my hello a weak sooner because i was checking another member. we can not believe the story to the full strength. we also told you if you wane play there no problem have fun. it all mean only you are getting a kick from the town ..;) not the server..so you can collect your stuff in the mean time.
then you went silent in ts and logged of..and asked nothing..so the mayor went on with the kick..and is now reading this as your replie.
Be fair m8 we tried to be to..and Kota is deciding over your stuff what to do btw .. because he is your house leader so best is to pm him nicely

Well, it doesn't really matter if it "counts" for you guys, if he's in the town or not it's illegal to not let him get his items back that were in his LWC.

There is nothing in the rules that state you MUST let them get their items. Is it a dick move? Probably but you do not HAVE to give them the items. This has been confirmed by Danda, and I do believe even Kainzo has stated in the past you do not have to let them get their items.
