This isn't a clash of egoes. It's a clash of what we immortals are responsible for enforcing vs individuals who believe they are not subject to these rules and criteria. Cheating is cheating. We are given the positions of authority by immortals who created this mud and have managed the mud for the enjoyment of other players. We are spending OUR time coding, writing, developing, designing and enforcing things that are for the betterment of this mud. That authority is not delegated to individuals who would abuse this power.

We then have to deal with individuals who spend all of 10 minutes creating characters to cheat and violate the rules in order to gain an unfair advantage over other individuals who are willing to abide by these rules.

We DO NOT create the rules to oppress you. We DO NOT create the rules to gain any unfair advantage over you. We create the rules so that individuals who play this game will have a level playing field with those individuals who feel compelled to cheat.

There are two types of people who play this mud:

1) Those individuals who want to contribute to the mud.

2) Those individuals who want to be a detriment to this mud.

Those who feel like being a detriment to the mud (regardless of how long they have been here) are not being forced to play here. Nor are they welcome here.

* It's poor form to quit out just after your cabal item has been taken. It's even worse form to do it over and over again. As you can probably imagine, there is no 'style' involved in these actions. It's a simple way to avoid your enemies because you are lacking your cabal powers.
