Tubban caught online a day prior to the MQ ban

[Koota]

I'll make a reply here, and I know immediately that people aren't going to believe it, are going to spin it to whatever way they can to fit it into a puzzle of a different sort, or whatever. The truth over all the Dark Ascension drama is pretty simple, really.

First and foremost, the entirety of the guild, nor the leadership of the guild was or is aware of any sort of cheating. Either it be the use of MQ2, SEQ, duping, database insider information, or anything. How would I know? Because I was in the leadership circle. If you think that anyone in the leadership circle would openly admit that they use or utilize any of the aforementioned infractions, you're wrong. It's just that simple. I never mentioned my use of SEQ to the others, because I knew they were against it. It's just that simple.

So I am not saying that everyone, including the leadership DOESN'T do any of these things, because I can not magically appear behind them at home and see what programs they have running. But in the same breath, the EXACT SAME can be said for ANYONE else on this server. You truly truly truly do NOT know, unless you fuck up and get caught. Dark Ascension had 2 recent incidents where this happened, nearly in a row. So the spotlight is a bit brighter.

As for Tubban, it's true that he was absent for some time, in GENERAL, prior to his banning. His name was pretty rare in /guild. The function of loot council, to my understanding at the time (It may have changed over the past few weeks), is to award those players whose total contributions were that higher of another player. This not only includes raid attendance, but tracking (incoming joke), donation of class-related skills on off-times, and a variety of other things. Tubban was a long time member, and it's possible that the item he was awarded, it was a no brainer in that he had been a member longer, and had attended more raids. I know that DA has had an influx of applicant clerics, so it's very possible that he was the only 'long timer' on the list of clerics up for said loot. Not, "OMG OBVIOUSLY CONDONING AND PARTAKING CUZ HE GOT LEWTZ". Use your fucking brains, pseudo egotistical saps.

And there is no denying that Tubban, from what I have heard, was acting not like himself prior to his banning. Now there are some conspiracy theories floating around that people have told me about how he is believed to be a totally new owner, or someone had access to him at the time of his banning, or what have you. None of that really matters, because as it's said: "It's not what you know, it's what you can prove." Which applies to everything in this thread.

So I leave you with that. Let your hate mongering, propaganda spreading, shit spewing carry on.
