Penchant,
Your post is full of inaccuracies. I never once asked for a screen shot. I was never caught plotting against the government because there was no plot I was involved in despite being asked to participate in 2,or 3 rebel movements. The banker did post a letter applying for banker. Himoura didn't protest the banker he protested the Ruler...
That pretty much negated all the "factual" statements you just made. Further I admit that my choice of words about the Darkan clique were bad. I was trying to say that they don't break that rule and if you re read what I wrote I specifically said they weren't an OOC clan. I said they were inclusive with the lower level positions but it was unlikely anyone else would get government, city/town lords or dukes.
None of that even got brought up until we were accused of being a clique and so I started using that word to describe them. I was not the first to bring it OOC. That doesn't make my actions right. I lost my temper and was blunt. I stand by what I said, I just wish I had worded it differently. The Darkan Clique has a history of taking over realms just as the Himoura's have a history of betrayal and subterfuge.
