The Samwell Incident refers to the auctioning of a CP Sysop account:Samwell.
The auction.
As there is no record of such an auction on RationalWiki or on the RationalWiki Forums this (shameful?) act must have taken place in the cabal.
A subsequent post on WIGO stated:
- A day that will live in infamy, as "Samwell," whom Andy had generously given blocking privileges, turns out to be a RationalWiki user and blocks nearly all administrators (!). The account was "auctioned off" to the highest bidder in the first RationalWiki fundraising auction. The winning bid - $10π.
Based on a comment on his talk page it seems as though the sock was originally fed and watered by Cracker although it is not clear who pulled the trigger.
Consequences
The auction provoked Headless Chicken Mode level two or three and led to the departure of Jazzman831.
AmesG has subsequently claimed that RationalWiki has apologized for the incident, but it is not clear where this apology can be found.
