The first character's "ban reason" is:
Quote
Banned from Outer Tilog by Delirus Ironsun.
Reason: Too tidy. Too clean. Human sneakysneak!

Sounds to my kinda like Outer Tilog being Outer Tilog.

Arbitrary, irrational, and corrupt bans are not technically prohibited.

However... (brace for what could become a flamewar)

In my opinion, the entire realm of Outer Tilog should be locked/deleted from the game. A realm whose culture and playing style is so wildly divergent from the entire rest of the game that any remotely normal playing style results in bans and OOC flamewars is an inherently exclusive place, and is not playing as if with friends, IMHO. Having never played there myself I don't have personal experience here, but from what I hear people saying, we're fine with an exclusive clan... if its the Traditional Tilogian Culture Clan. But, IMHO, just because you post a disclaimer ("Warning: Outer Tilog is Different") doesn't mean you get exemptions from the Social Contract, and I struggle to imagine how Outer Tilog could continue to exist bereft of its hyper-exclusive culture.
