> > > I'm posting this here, though in truth it's a response to this entire thread. I'd like to be the first (or at least somewhere near the tenth or so) to say (again) the immstaff is/are human beings (much like soliant green in that regard). This being said, it means that we are just as prone to do something immoral as anyone else....it's true, sorry to burst your bubbles out there. However just like every other human on this planet, we make the choice, either to or not to. Yes I know most of the accusations floating around about various immortals, none I will openly address here...for the simple fact that regardless of what they did, what they didn't do, or what they seemed to do...it's not my place to attack thier actions on a public forum. Will I defend them here? Yes. Why? I'll let you in on a little secret, one of the agreements that we have on the immstaff (conspiracy theorists get ready) is to present a united front. Even when at times we're yelling and screaming at each other 'behind closed doors'. I will however say that if I believe someone guilty of cheating, I'm not going to stand around yapping like some sick dog at whoever accuses them. I've said it before, and I've said it again (don't go reading anything into this...I'm saying exactly what I'm saying and not hinting at a damned thing here) if you believe an immortal to be cheating...there are routes to take. Now...this part of my rant over I'll continue to the next area.
> > > After reading the forum, and this post, I felt this amazing desire to defend myself. Why? Well, I'm sure it has a lot to do with out of the game circumstances (which I won't go into, because those of you who know me well enough to know my personal life already know, and the rest of you wouldn't know me from Adam), but some if it comes from the simple fact that there are some players out there that (through fair means or foul) know more about "hidden" or "secret" information than I do (let's keep in mind I've been an immortal for around 5?6? years or so). I'm not going to bother going neck deep into the post above. Perhaps I'm guilty of naivete as well...opinions are welcome as to the immstaffs' collective performance...but do try to remember, we're human...for better and for worse.
