Actually knowing the situation here helps a lot.
An already landed character was taking on an unlanded knight.
Neither campaigned and to my mind the knight who was unlanded won as she was unlanded...
The realm this happened in has a realatively young player base with only a handful of long term players who may or may not know the Driscolls by meeting or reputation, the argument that this was cliquiness is just wrong... at least to my mind anyway.
It's sad that someone can sour a knights success with OOC bile which is unwarranted and without foundation - and as Ketchum says, the secondary issue comes from the fact that the player vented his suspicions OOC so Gloria was unable to answer IC why she was the right choice etc.
