Is your story unembelished [sic]?

Check. The guy was a perfect impersonation of a statue the entire time from when I logged in to when I logged out, all while I was having a very one sided conversation with him. It was around to 6 minutes before I engaged, considering that I neither started a timer immediately upon logging in nor engaged immediately when the timer hit 5 minutes. I assure you six minutes is longer than it sounds when you're sitting beside a stone cold AFK player and an Ancient Cyclops is in front of you. Add in a two minute kill time with druid dots, then a minute to give him a final chance to show any sign of life, loot the ring myself when he doesn't, and /camp out, and he was AFK for 8-9 minutes, plus however long he sat there before I logged in. Exactly what you'd imagine someone asleep at their keyboard would look like.

Did you leave out info about how you've actually KSed ACs in the past?

Nope, I'm not a vulture. I've never had any issues at the AC camp, or anywhere else on the server that I can ever recall. I've had many guide rulings in my favor when unreasonable players have tried to encroach on my camps unfairly, but that was the only time I've ever had action taken against me for any sort of player dispute, at least that I can remember. I did join the server in 2010, and I've played on and off.

Did you have hard proof for Aussie that you offered to provide to him right away?

I was not running fraps or recording logs. I do both now. Not saving logs was an oversight (I didn't know that was a feature at the time), but running fraps in order to ensure I don't get screwed over by other player's lies makes this game feel much less like a game. Video records have however saved the day since then, when players have felt the need to blatantly KS me for whatever reasons they had that were important enough to get themselves suspended.
On the other hand though, there's no way the AFK player had any 'hard proof' I stole it, because what happened that morning was in no way theft. He had long forfeited any claim to that ring when I looted it.

Were you polite while talking to him about it?

Absolutely. I've always treated the server staff with respect and courtesy. Aussie told me that the player claimed he was having connection issues after he returned to his keyboard (or woke up) and saw my messages. I tried to explain that in my experience players with connections issues tend to go linkdead instead of appearing AFK for 8-9 minutes, and that the server rules suggested that either scenario would be a forfeiture of his claim to the camp. That was when I was told I could either MQ the ring to him or have my account banned.
I never felt like justice was done that day, and I understand you coming up with theories that might explain why I would've been required to give that ring back. I always wanted a good explanation myself, and I've never gotten one.
