Whatevs though. Your point is the burden of proof regarding intent. It can be found in certain circumstances. I doubt it will be a common thing, but if GM's want to give it an unbiased shot, let 'em, I say. We understand that the inverse of that is being falsely accused and consequently banned or shunned for something one didn't do. But that's not a terrible concern if you're not a dick hole that likes and/ or views training as natural. And it is in some ways, but in other ways it's fucked. I'm sure GM's understand that.

Right, and I am advocating zero GM interaction regarding any PnP. On a Live server, or with completely unbiased / governed / supervised / professional in game GM staffing its one thing... but when the staff is just people that put in free time, likely have friends on the server, or even their own chars... You start to get all the forum drama regarding favoritism, corruption, friends, donations etc etc.

This is the point that Lethdar seems to have skipped in the past 10+ pages, and why his responses are total shit.

I wouldn't make the mistake of speculating on the ethical decisions/ choices made by Rogean and comparing them to someone like Voidd or any other developers we've run through the ringer that have, as a fundamental difference, not only wanted to create a server, but play on them as if they were their playgrounds too.

I get the cynicism, but this is a different set of guys running things here. Most developers or players had a conflict of interest to begin with and should never have been chosen to represent the past servers, let alone uphold their integrity (Zenaitha, that hacking Cleric guy in my guild, the high elf? etc). But I'm not inductively going to say that because it happened all the fucking time in the past, that it's necessarily doomed to happen here. Those people who pulled part of the PvP community to play as guides were misguided, to put it lightly.
