> The cheating from 4-5 years ago has minimal impact on you being exploration banned. Does it color the judgment around recent cheating? I'm sure it does. See below for further explanation.
It has a maximal impact, for we have never been allowed to shrug it off and start over. Moreover we have been watched like a hawk from above, criticized and fully punished for everything, whether we deserved it or not (Re: My bard, Robynson, being denied because I was practicing in the air and Jarmel's character was practicing east of Udgaard, both sometimes idle due to checking the forum. The claim was that when I was "moving" he wasn't and vice versa.)

Well, look into it, it is another case of being snooped like a hawk a nitpicking reason for denial. I doubt any other site (*maybe* with the exception of Neosoft) gets the special treatment we get. Even though I am sure there are many more sites that deserve your attention over us.
> Unless I'm mistaken, you guys have been warned on several occasions to end the permagrouping (which finally had to be explicitly stated in the rules with the hopes that you would some day understand that we were serious about it). You continue to do it.
We continue to do it? Since they changed the rules.. I haven't strayed near another player from my site. Besides, there were umpteen different solo characters between each "permagroup" we had.
> This isn't a matter of holding a grudge, it's a matter of frustration that you continue to flaunt your disregard for the guidelines we've given you.
Those guidelines are..? (Apart from grouping with same site players prior to the new rule)
> If you really believe that, you might as well quit playing.
What I really believe is that you are incapable of giving someone a fair go. You have put us on the "I don't like you file, so I will fuck you over".
> Just did. We can continue to perform this same tired dance if you want, or you can accept that we're not going to put up with the permagroup shit and just accept it and do something more productive. Maybe you don't know how to play CF any other way.
This goes to show you how little you really do know about us, and more specifically me.
> Ok, Ayalith ran around by himself for a while and then deleted after Khiravn killed him. Ok, Dazz sucked for a while then deleted after Zorszaul killed him. Maybe you're right. Maybe you've learned not to permagroup and have changed your ways. If that's true, I applaud you, and predict that you won't run into any further problems with the people that run this game. Although you attach yourself to an Implementor from time to time claiming them as your champion (until they deny you, then you move to another one), I don't think any Immortals believe you to be the victims of some personal grudge, unjust persecution, or bad hair days.
See, it is comments like that that make me think you are a complete dickhead. I have always liked Twist and Nepenthe and always will. I openly admit who I like and dislike. I dislike you. I believe, and this is merely speculation on my behalf, that you should have been denied multiple times with Golmagus, but no, you managed to defy all the odds and get re-inducted, only to have Nepenthe hold your hand and you lich, to then become a Lord. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
