> Well, you finally explained why what you're ranting about makes you sound crazy if "all the information we have is what has leaked about". Every month I receive a dozen conspiracy theories about CF that have "leaked about" as well, and most of it is so laughable it's just sad. Granted, I've found a few things that have looked suspect and dealt with them; 98% of it has been ridiculous paranoia and false rumors. I have no idea what "juicy rumors" you were proud of gathering up and honestly, I don't even care. The Arbiter immortals did what they wanted to you guys and you're desperate for a scapegoat because none of what happened to you could have been your fault. Fine. Blame me. I've been blamed for more shit than Cador in the last couple years, most of which is stuff I've never even known about. You folks and the aussies probably don't even realize that I've never had a hand in any of your character denials. As a mortal I watched your little permagroups appear out of nowhere when I'd attack one of you and never did a thing in retribution; ever wonder why I didn't just log on as an immortal and deny all of you for that? I could have fucked you in your Lichquest, Orodeth, and didn't. I could have done a helluva a lot if you really want to pretend that I was the guy punishing you for anything.

> I played a mortal who's goal was to push everyone's buttons and glide along the line of just what I could do without being kicked out of Arbiters. Sue me. Regardless of what you think, it wasn't until one of the Arbiter imms started to figure out that Golmagus belonged to another Immortal that I considered deleting him (and I'm still somewhat peeved that he worked that hard to figure out who I was). That was about a week before I got sick of hiding that character from everyone and called it quits.

> And if you want to take this outside of "I think I've been treated unfairly in this game I played for a number of years" and start insulting me personally I suggest you get your information straight.

> Yeah, Chris Warren convinced me he was a woman in a battering relationship and dickhead that I am I wasted a lot of my personal time trying to convince him to get into therapy, to get out of an unhealthy relationship, and to get some help. Am I guilty of being duped? Fine, I am. He's a skilled liar and I was suckered into wasting my time trying to find counseling resources in Tampa Bay for no good reason other than he got off on it. Was I humiliated? No. Was I pissed off? Yes. Mainly because this is the same guy that stalked me online for years with his rambling obsessive emails continuously needing to know if I approved of his role-playing abilities. He's a sick person, he craves attention any way he can get it, and is a habitual liar that plays on people's sympathy to get them to buy into his stories. He needs help, but I wasn't the one to help him.

> And, since no one bothered to read the note I posted when I took some time off CF, I'll reiterate that the game was no longer fun for me. Chris Warren, albeit creepy, was just one more example of a player that made the upkeep of CF a pain in the ass. I was sick of putting all kinds of effort into making the game more interesting and have the payoff feel so minimal.

> I really don't think you get that I'm not as obsessed with you and your buddies as much as you seem to think I am. And I apologize in advance for as insulting as this is going to sound, but you just really aren't that important to me. You're one of a couple hundred people that play a game that happens to break the rules enough that I have to interact with you now and then. Every now and then you've managed to piss me off with your antics but that's about the sum of it.

> Do what you want, but this "I'm so persecuted" routine has gotten boring.
