In the Empire I was doomed with that my attitude. The original Dread Lord and I were on the fast track to explosion. My attitude only grew when in the presence of the then Emperor. And I'm sure Solraen enjoyed the conflict between the Dread Lord and this youngling with an outrageous ego problem. When I heard that he'd been oust'd by an Imm I did a small happy dance. Then I heard the rest and I added some tap dancing. A lot of things worked out to allow Amdromica to survive as long as she did.

As for combat win ratios, you got me there. Unprep'd or even half prep'd drow spectre vs the fort ain't good odds. I don't tend to loot and with Amdromica's stats, all my eq was crap that no one wanted. I suppose it's just a difference of perspective. As long as we all enjoy it, it's a good thing we have options to choose how we want to play.

Keep trucking. I knew a guy who got banned one time. He died and I don't know him any more. The stigma associated is not one that is easy to outlive. Good luck.
