Look, as I've explained before in this topic and elsewhere, we were after Ramo for his bounty. Mario arrived first and they RPed a little. The moment I and the rest of the guys arrived, Ramo suddenly couldn't RP anymore and insisted on waiting for an admin. That admin was [WS]Peter and he was called to settle something that had nothing to do with that roleplay scenario. It was about my notoriety level which in the end was deemed to be removed.
While this whole thing took place, suddenly Ramo wasn't alone anymore because like 5 [G6] members came to back him up, both IC and OOC, creating a big confusion for [WS]Peter, but most importantly, giving Ramo a really big advantage in the RP. Before he was 1vs7 and now it was 9vs7.
The moment my notoriety was removed, a [G6] made an /ad to provoke me, saying if I remember correctly ''wannabe mobster Ambrogio Fischetti stripped of notoriety and found dead!'' or something like that. After the whole admin stuff was handled, we drove into the street where Ramo and G6 went to continue where we left off, despite not having a tactical advantage.
We started RPing and out of nowhere Michael Myres started aiming at us and 3 seconds later shot, starting a shootout. Everyone of them died and I was the only one left at the scene. In no way did it look like they were dealing in or with properties.
I then bought the houses to show those guys who made provocative /ads to me, that they're not the only ones who can use /ad to their advantage. After I bought the houses I made /ads selling them. In no way did any of them appear to be interested in buying them prior to me buying them, though.
So yeah, it was a payback thing, but I'm not sure where the 'abuse' comes in, because it's not like I jumped infront of an ongoing transaction and did /purchase. Literally nobody was around to buy them.
It's a free market, right?
