The Pumpkin Bandit Conflict is the name given to an ongoing conflict between the players of Betaonline, against an unknown player who goes under the name 'the Pumpkin Bandit'.

History

The extortion letter.

Oak Hills Heist

At an unknown point before 2 October 2022, a player going under the pseudonym 'the Pumpkin Bandit', would loot and rob all stores of Oak Hills. He would leave a message outside of the AFK Pool, and leave blood trails (redstone) all across town.

44cckw was the first player who noticed this, and would immediately notify raddicted and Norbert011 of this. They would all gather around the AFK Pool and read a series of signs that the bandit had left. It was an attempt at extortion, as the Pumpkin Bandit demanded diamond blocks, otherwise he would blow up the town.

Slimeball Campsite

Possible Suspects

It is unknown who the Pumpkin Bandit is, though players have speculated that it could be one of these players;

  • While unlikely, Mope222 could potentially be the Pumpkin Bandit, as there were blood trails running towards his house. This was however disregarded quickly as a red herring, as the Pumpkin Bandit could've possibly tried to frame Mope for the crimes.
