Since I played devil's advocate for what I guessed a staff response might be, here is something I picked out. If Jazet and his wife both played ARM at the time and both had accounts. Why was Jazet being informed of his wife's punishment? Shouldn't they have both received separate e-mails because staff don't discuss request tool & punishments for one player with another?
Okay I think that's all I have for this thread until someone posts another log.

Yeah I don't think the 2 likely official responses are particularly good, I was just playing them out. I'm not willing to do the dance of devils advocate for this situation further than saying this is what I expect you should expect and why.

Also if you're wondering why I have a Jeshin OR scree name. I forgot my Jeshin GDB password so I just created a new account as Jeshin OR and asked staff about the suspected autospam account note code from Kronibas' thread, like I said I would.

So when someone said, I want to post this to the GDB to get a staff response. I replied hey you have option 1 and option 2 of responses. We have seen one of them already via people downplaying the e-mail. It was the wrong account so Jazet's wife wasn't in any way threatened or punished for his actions. It was someone else whose account name we do not know and because they are not vocally complaining about it, it diminishes the issue.
The issue in responses is two-fold. Firstly as per their own stated rules that they have cited time and time again. Staff do not discuss request tool communication and the posting of it is prohibited on the GDB. So in order to be consistent they have to basically say, no comment and cite rules. That's fine, it's their rule, it's been their a long time, that's the response I'd expect. If they did respond beyond that then the next phase of the response is definitely going to be that was sent to the wrong person. You don't know all of the facts of the situation and in that instance both husband and wife were culpable for violation of the rules. Now whether that is true or not it asserts two pretty discussion killing things. You don't know the situation and thus cannot judge the response. The person who is 'complaining' about it is not the intended target and thus his situation is not an adequate indicator of why the e-mail was sent.

Their response will be 1 of 2 things...
1) We don't discuss request tool responses on the forums.
2) This was sent to the wrong person. (ignoring that it being sent to anyone would be inappropriate)

It's pretty invaluable to this discussion that you provide a complete list of the current rules for readers to review before giving feedback. If you're still on your jihad against accessing the ARM site for some reason, I'll nab it here in 15 min and edit this post to put them all in.

My 2 cents on the issue...
I personally think that theme in game design is critical. Games are crafted experiences to claim that they aren't misses out on the greatest strength of a game. The ability to connect with its player(s) on an emotional and intellectual level. You don't want to include superhero themes in a horror setting. The two do not play well, one is about empowerment while the other is about victimization and helplessness.
I think Tuluk as a high level concept was good. I think it had a lot of ingredients to work. I think those things didn't translate down to the detail level in a way that meshed and thus we had (as the OP suggests) a city / play zone that is split into different pieces of the pie and as long as you're enjoying your piece you're fine but when you get to an intersect you realize it's two entirely different pies.
If Allanak is about corruption and brutality and subjugation. Than Tuluk could easily have been about fanaticism, indoctrination, and elevation (of the most fanatic and indoctrinated). They would have played very well with each other because in my (limited) Allanak play experience the characters there tend to be a lot more cynical and suspicious of their Templerate/City-state. Just a thought.

Legend of the Jedi is still running isn't it? Or were you hoping for a new era star wars setting?

You're being mean. Your implies that an item is his like "your fork" but you're implies "you are"
So unless you want to say your being (as in the existing entity of RGS) is mean. You need to use you're... Also you have to add an is otherwise it's madness!
We haven't had a grammar nazi post yet so I thought I'd pop our cherry.

I'm flipping through my Wilem log and looking at some of the silliness we got into while playing kruth. Not quite as famous as fucking a ginka, but we can't all be superstars.

Who else thinks that kruth truth or dare is the pinnacle of RP on Armageddon, anyone? I think it is, good times.

The battle rages on, but I think Jcarter gets a +1 to any final outcome as he hasn't banned RGS (again or yet) and hasn't moderated any of his posts in the back and forth.
EDIT - I wonder if RGS is milking this to ramp up his posts to 500 as quick as possible to achieve God for his title? CONSPIRACIES.
