You did handle it the best way possible. I believed you completely when you prayed about it. I knew that Woognit had deleted and I assumed that sometime before deleting he must have acted to reverse Thalion's action against Imenant. That's why, even though official policy is very strict, I was very appreciative of your prompt prayer and acted to assist you.
======================================================
Meztiso, I find this entire thread very disappointing. As an admin who worked with you, who supported you, who took time to roleplay with you actively, and who rewarded you for your out-of-the-box thinking & roleplay, your choice to come to the afterlife thread and portray everything the way you did felt very much like a betrayal of the time and faith that I personally put into your character and the player behind him. You did not recognize the fair support given to your character by the immstaff but made presumptuous accusations of favoritism when the exact same support & considerations were given to another character.
You did not need to be given OOC notification about what was happening concurrently with other characters while you were playing your character. My opinion of Imenant immediately jumped high up when you chose to leave the new flavor-of-the-day-cabal (no offense to you Trag!), and to go back to one that was empty. I respect and admire the players who are willing to stick it out with an empty cabal and try to make things flourish again. Because of this high opinion of your character, I spent a lot of time watching your roleplay, to look for opportunities to support and reward it. That is how I happened to be present to jump into Davynn that day to interact with you in Sith'a'niel. There was a lot of justified in-character antagonism directed against your character that day, and unbeknownst to you maybe there was even a character involved who was -trying- to stir up trouble for entirely in-character reasons. I tried to maintain a positive interaction with you, to give you in-character reasons why what you wanted couldn't happen the way you wanted it to, while still leaving open an avenue for you to pursue that roleplay. I rewarded you for that roleplay.
This high opinion is also how I happened to be watching and overhear you complaining OOC that you did not enjoy your character's roleplay because you felt stuck having to play your racist roleplay, that you wanted this other character to be given a leader flag, and that you wanted to delete Imanent soon after roleplaying his breakdown. This is what is most baffling to me of all. I helped get this other character back into the tribunal exactly the same as how I helped your character to stay in the tribunal, and I helped get this other character leader-flagged exactly in the same spirit as how your character got leader-flagged. YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED, and even though you complain about OOC favoritism from imms, of the characters involved, it was -YOU- who had received the most favorable imm-intervention.
When I intervened on the night that you deleted, I was trying to find a way to keep you both in the tribunal, I was looking very specifically for a way to AVOID either of you being favored one way or the other, and that is why I stressed persistently an in-character game support for BOTH of you. Although what -YOU- demanded was for one of you to be the absolute leader over the other, what -I- offered was a compromise, making both of you equal in power, with divided responsibilities. What I was offering was a way out of your own self-described racist roleplay that you yourself said you were not enjoying, and I kept it all in-game, in-character. -You- couldn't keep it IC, you chose not to roleplay it out.
You come here and cry about OOC bias and imm favoritism when it is simply a flat out lie. You want the immstaff to care that this has left a bad taste in your mouth so now you're going to carry a chip on your shoulder? Well frankly, after wasting my time helping you out, supporting you, trying to encourage you, and getting back no thanks but just false accusations of mistreatment, I really don't care anymore if you're upset.
Take 2 minutes right this moment and ask yourself what kind of bull$h!t the immstaff deals with on a regular basis that leaves a bad taste in our mouths.
[EDIT: I misspoke from frustration. I do care. But I accept that no amount of reasoning will help you see the other side of the issue and that if you want to be upset about it, you will be. It's your choice. I, however, will not bear that burden, because I know that I treated you both reasonably, fairly, and with good intent.]
