"The fact that you are part of the problem aside"

What problem am I a part of? I'm part of the problem because I disagree with the direction that the game is being taken in, and I'm not afraid to put my opinion out there?

"cheating and the kind of relationships you admit to having don't occur"

I admitted to having 'had' an OOC relationship with an admin. Many others have had this same relationship, it isn't anything 'new' or 'unique'. Your prior post basically said "There is no such thing as an OOC club with our admins" which is not true, in fact from my DIRECT interactions and experiences it couldn't be more false.

For the record, I currently do not have an OOC communication with any staff members, besides the occasional empowerment meeting request.

"you seem to agree that while the way you cheat might give you an unfair advantage it's not inherently necessary"

I don't fully understand what you are saying to me. I don't currently cheat, nor do I have a OOC relationship with any IMM currently..I feel like you are labeling me a 'cheater'. Are you saying that having OOC IMM contacts "is not necessary to gain an advantage" in that case, sure..but you're still better off with the OOC hookup.

"As long as players like you take the approach you do, the best we can do is trust our judgement and our staff and deal with bad behavior if and when we become aware of it."

What the hell? My current char is just under 200 hrs in age, I've done nothing wrong and in fact, the only IMM interaction I have had has been positive, I have even made it a point to publicize the positive interactions.

This post was to talk about perceived IMM bias, which is a topic that every time it gets brought up ends with lines like "I'm done with you" from the staff.

It seems like you guys love criticizing others but can't handle it at all when it comes back in your own direction. I would LOVE to see you guys have an actual discussion with us in regards to IMM bias.
