FullMoonMaster has every right to be upset here.
Ranzab took the money, and - assuming that each commission was independently funded on a completion basis - failed to deliver the paid-for product.
He failed to deliver even a HINT of the paid-for product.
That's NOT a simple "I wish to disappear" situation. That's called FRAUD. It is A CRIME.
I get pissed on an awful lot for not always jumping to the defense of these forums' rules, but this is not that.
These are real laws, agreed upon by the whole of modern society, which are being flouted for personal financial gain. Whatever the end result - be it for good or ill - Ranzab's means are wholly illegal.
Now, that being said, I suppose we should be grateful that he didn't just shit out a couple random doodles and call it "done." That'd be arguably MORE dishonest, and grounds for a civil suit, which would make him more of a potential liability than any criminal charge ever could.

Again ill reinstate my reference to the whole pilot scenario. Also, considering the fact that nolaf openly stated his leaving the community and his reasons, I can only surmise that Ranzab befell a similar, if not, much more grim situation.
While it is completely wrong of him to have abandoned the community completely without a trace, I believe we should also observe this issue with a speculative appeal.
