that said, we do not suspend or ban people on a whim. if you were suspended, we had a reason to do so. every staff member has to make a thread every time they ban or suspend a player, so that I or another staff member can look up the situation.

now, i noticed two sets of players crying that they were suspended. i have no doubts in the world that these people have wives that play EQ. that being said, players need to be aware of their situations as well. on the off chance that ALL of our detectors were giving false positives (near impossible, but whatever) i still like to send a tell. if you /q out, or, if you fail to respond to me for a few minutes, i have no choice but to assume that the time delay is due to nothing more than the husband running off to get his wife to sit at the computer.

having a wife and an exemption does not mean that if your wife doesnt feel like playing you get to 2box until a GM /tells you (at which time you go to get your wife).

also, believe it or not, how I treat players is based on how they treat the staff.

lastly - petition forum. if u want to discuss something, you need to make a petition. contrary to popular belief, nothing we read in the server chat or rnf is taken too seriously.

Ive said it before and Ill say it again, I think Sirkens one of the best GM's this server has to offer. With that being said, I do have a question for you Sirken. Is it possible by any stretch of the imagination that you decide to pop people with these tasks to verify themselves not AFK during say, autofollow'ing my gf to another place in the zone as I got to the restroom?

The scenario I'm playing out in my head is you've watched us for about 30 mins, and due to the autofollowing and little interaction from her shaman makes you decide to ask us both to do tasks as Im off using the restroom while autofollowing her. So obviously not going to see your tell right away, and quite possibly could result in a ban before I ever get back to my keyboard? (my gf is pretty lazy, rarely looks at chat even when we do play together I normally inform her of anything group says that is relevant) - this is also something that worries me if we were ever to have such situation.

What it really sounds like is that the staff makes you run in circles, do this and that while the other is doing something different or answering questions. And if we don't dance to your liking it will end up in a ban?

Its sad others have to ruin it for people like us who duo legitimately and thus force the staff to harass legit players.
