is that you're almost completely immune to anything. I got away with some pretty serious stuff because demoting/anatheming would've cost the Empire and Emperor more than just letting it slide. You've already read in this thread how I was badmouthing Nabburak over sect channel not realizing he could hear it. I never even got a tongue lashing. Then I accidentally healing cursed him because I was paying more attention to the tv than I was to the game. Again, he shrugged it off and said it didn't bother him even though it meant us sitting there for 8 ticks doing nothing. Nobody wants an Imperial healer High Priest to delete so everybody does pretty much everything they can to keep the healer happy. The reason I could shrug off losing sets for the most part is because I knew I could have almost everybody in hero range helping me regear if I wanted them to. When you have nothing to lose you risk more. The "I'm deleting when this set is gone" was more of an artificial point in time than losing gear being the reason for deletion.

I know what the Empire is about. I've had four characters in the neo Empire and three of them were sect leaders. Vinson had a very serious sense of entitlement. OOC I knew I was being fed lines of BS everytime somebody said they'd vote for me, IC I believed it was true because I couldn't fathom anybody else being chosen over me. It even says in my role at one point that the throne is all but mine and how I was already making plans for the next step. When I didn't get Emperor OOC I was a little frustrated because I saw it as a slap in the face to somebody who had been there longest and suffered through the leanest periods. IC though I was dumbfounded and pissed off which is why I went directly into finding people to replace the current Council members. When you "converted" I knew I was screwed. "Cleansing" you was the first step in my usurping Nabburak.

The letter was just an extension of my sense of entitlement. It was basically saying I was the only clear choice. That's because Vinson believed he was.
