Snooped this guy for a full hour while he was leveling with Mhyrin and Alazarn (two nexuns). The two of them roleplayed a ton, talking about the balance, about all kinds of things. Dinkertot's contributions to the conversatio

...were basically request for sanctuary. No real roleplay, just running around killing things. I realize that rp while leveling can be tough and all, but damn.

That didn't sound right, so I went back and checked my logs, filtering out the conversations we had during that group. Yes, I'm the one asking for sanctuary because I was the one tanking. But even so, I just don't see any justification for your comments. I'm the only one who asked questions of them regarding Alazarn's past and how to strengthen and balance magic. I cracked a few jokes during the log and talked about other stuff as well, including bringing up an aspect of my background which they didn't pursue with questions.

The reason I bring this up is because negative, subjective observations for all the imms to see and judge your character can really have a detrimental effect to one's character. Fortunately that didn't appear to be the case with this character, but I can't get over the feeling that you probably would've been prejudiced against my character and may have caused prejudice from other imms based on unjust claims.

Here are all the group tells during that entire ranking session at that time period. There were very few "says" mixed in and it's easier to grep for group tells, so those were left out, but they were inconseqeuntial. After reading the following, I just don't see it.
