Had it been any non-imm, the PBF would have been mostly normal, with the exception of the imm induction into Scion at level 18 and 3 hours into playtime.

Daevryn (and other imms), if you want to stop the conspiracy theories, create an environment where you and the imms are beyond reproach in matters like these. There are ways you can accomplish this without IP-stalking, as you suggested. Personally, I'd prefer you play the game (harassment-free) if you want because I feel that creatively expressing yourself as a mortal keeps you somewhat in touch with the playerbase. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, Twist has had several unsuccessful mortals since his return. However, since this one was SO successful in SO many ways, it's easy to imagine behind-the-scenes tampering (whether there was any or not). Tavlin was a stellar character, nobody is denying that. Maybe he deserved even more than he got, but being that he was who he was, matters were more complicated. It's like a politician getting his picture taken with a hooker. Maybe there's a perfectly good explanation for why he happened to be there with the hooker, but people are just going to assume the worst.

Some headache cures:
- log IP tracks, publish them in PBF. For all the bitching about this thing in particular, I'm surprised this hasn't been thought of already. Probably would save you some headaches.

- imm exp averages for a given day, week, month, etc. Well, maybe Twist got a bunch of imm experience early on, but was he the *only* person to get rewarded that entire day and by that much? What if one imm was in a good mood and just handed it out like candy at their own discretion for a particular day? This is a good idea because imm experience early on offers a nice advantage in edge picking. Transparency ends speculation.

- standards for induction beyond the current scope. I've had characters make it into a cabal within a few hours of playing time too, but I've also had characters wait 50+ hours to get into a cabal. There *should* be some standards to negate either extreme. A character should be at least X hours old OR have existed for X number of real weeks. For cabal leaders and imms, it should be known how long someone is an applicant. The longer someone is an applicant for a given cabal without induction, the more priority they should be given to get inducted, or at least put on the right path if it's felt they're not ready.
