A bug in the implementation of the Sled Riding mechanic we pushed yesterday made it possible to use a pulled sled to bypass the visitor debuff, and whereas;
At least two separate parties used the bug in World 16 and World 16.1 respectively, to raid for personal profit, two separate offended parties, and whereas;
Actions aforementioned are manifestly against the very spirit of Christmas itself, carrying a latae sententiae punishment of interdict.
Therefore
-------------------------------
The village "Balls Bay" in World 16, has been placed under interdict, and cannot be used until further notice, and;
The village "haven.UI$CommandException" in World 16.1, and an associated outpost, have been placed under interdict, and cannot be used until further notice, and;
Several accounts identified as belonging to the offending parties have been banned until further notice, and;
For the maintenance of public peace and order during the blessed season, no further action will be taken until after it, and;
We may then decide those villages and/or accounts forfeit entirely, and;
Offended parties may submit itemized loss reports of significance, and we may, no promise made, attempt to restore or retrieve some of the losses, and;
If you have been banned or locked out of your village on account of this decision we welcome your appeals to mercy, or, if you feel unfairly targeted, justice.
Ad Notam
-------------------------------
We are always interested in good quality bug reports. Report before you 'sploit, and we can avoid affaires.
We are always eager to hear your appeals for clemency, especially should they demonstrate a profounder level of remorse by coming attached with some truly juicy bug reports, concerning this 'sploit or others, which some of you apparently hoard for the truly long game.

Was it the bug people told you about in stream where you can just go through gates on the new sled and it doesn't give visitor. There wasn't even like anything tricky about it, you just go on in.
