I only just found the whole magistrates thread on the forums regarding accusations about the formation of Toupellon. Although the baseless accuser has been reprimanded, I still wanted to share how angry the fact that these OOC accusations against me (Claude Finsternis) were sent realm-wide. That is to say, VERY.
I feel that my reputation has been stained by someone full of sour grapes, even though this should have been a triumphant moment in Claude's career. Why should I be punished for taking the initiative to help found a new realm, something that certainly only adds interest to the game? It bugs me that someone would say that this was done with no roleplay or letters as if their character, who I have no idea about, should have access to everything that goes on. Every Lord in my Duchy and most of the knights knew about the plans I was making well ahead of time. If anything, I erred on the side of including too many people in my plans. All of them could (and some have on these forums) affirm that every single communication was done IC. One last point, who would possibly orchestrate a secession with no plan about who to put into the council positions? This is simply ridiculous.
I thank all of you, especially the magistrates, who have helped to clear this situation up, and I hope that you will continue to protect players who are playing this game in good faith.
