Conspiracy? When the #### did I ever claim there is a shadowy cliq of people plotting to argue that I'm a ####ing retard? I don't think I've ever mentioned the word conspiracy, once, in this entire thread. The closest I came was to you completely disregarding the IMM/player shifter question by impeaching Yoshimi's character (which isn't hard to do) when I thought that there was more to what he said.

And about the relevant part to my "Are you on crack?" post was directly tied to getting barrier spell (and other powerful rewards). So let me tell you why the barrier spell is an extremely powerful reward (if it wasn't then why don't you give it out to more players Nepenthe????? as far as I know only 2 people have gotten it in the last 5 years and both were RC wins).

How many times have you said that there is strategy involved with sleeks and gathering them? Now Fjodir never has to worry about that.

How many times have you smoked a mage with a character that needed to kill them by finding out where their rods were and ambushing them? Now Fjodir never has to worry about that.

How many times has a thief you've played stolen rods to make sure that character couldn't use them. Now Fjodir never has to worry about that.

Get the point?

I'm not saying Tesline is on crack about the reason WHY people got those rewards. I'm saying he's on crack if he thinks the rewards you get in those instances don't make a discernable difference.

But keep obfuscating the real point for some reason. You even have another IMM telling you you're wrong about people not getting rewards at 100 hrs. I know you're not omnipotent (remember you telling me cranial worked a certain way when you didn't know what the #### you were talking about?) but seriously dude, the attitude of "You don't know what you're talking about player because I'm an IMM" is so counter-productive to keeping a lasting relationship between the players and IMMs.

I'm really disappointed in you man. I'm beginning to think I shouldn't even bother with a post like this. I mean, it's not like I've defended you and your wife repeatedly in the past. It's not like I made a "Why I play CF" post a few months ago when everyone was throwing up a bitch-storm about other ####.

Maybe that's my problem. Maybe people don't care about this ####, and I'm totally in the minority. After all, it's your game and if I don't like it, as Valg said, "You can play something else".
