Alright, i have seen this evidence that you sent darius... and by no mean am i accepting this warning... you say you cant find any RP on the forums to justify me working with Auxesia well here is a thread between me and the Leader of Auxesia dating back to last year.....Proof one and if you say well your comm RP stopped a month ago here check this Proof two i move to have this Warning reverted.
Edit one: I also move to have every single "hidden rule" be posted in our rule section, im tired of hearing "oh thats a hidden rule" no Every rule should be posted... "common sense" or not. Post it.

I'm also intrested how deep was the staff's investigation in this matter. Because aparently no offense but someone didn't do this correctly. I managed to find the RP background for this 2 hours ago within 1 minute. I would like to know how did this sanction report even got through?
Alright, let me wake up a little and I will explain the thought process behind the analyzing of this report. Don't burn this place down until I do, alright?

Alright then, Spudder is moderately caffienated and I can try and explain the reason why this thread exists.
Before we begin, please note that this thread is a response to a report made against your thread HERE and was submitted to us on December 20th, 2016. The reason why I ask you to note the date is to remember that any roleplay development during the passing months were not taken into account as the report was made against the roleplay used in that thread in specific at that point in time.
First and foremost, I will need to apologize for the thread naming itself. It should read as such:

In other words, the report against you and the following discussion was taken as a metagaming/powergaming report in mind. Powergaming in particular, not so much metagaming. During the discussion we came to a conclusion that the reporter's concerns were somewhat legitimate (That you were working outside of your faction's diplomacy and that during the time of that thread, the Aux and Liberty were fully hostile), we in the end decided that since your character is a SRP, it would make sense to allow this slight difference in your own personal diplomacy. After all, the Special in Special Role Play kinda accounts for that.
The original report was not exactly the reason why you were warned, but rather the process of evaluating the situation.
The issue that was brought up and pointed out is that you yourself are intimately involved in the group you were roleplaying with. As in, you are a part of Aux as a player. So needless to say, since it is known to other players, seeing you contact a faction you are in from your SRP with evidence against another player's character was something they would have been understandably bothered by. After all, during that time, Aux and Liberty are still hostile.
Your warning was decided for as we were concerned that once your SRP would come to be re-evaluated during a checkup, we would need to take this into context. We wanted to warn you that this in the eyes of the community would have been seen as ''poor choice'' and that perhaps you should involve factions you are not a member of instead. Which, we understand, is a bit problematic in Liberty right now. Still, falling back on a faction you yourself are in to progress your roleplay, mind you no matter of your actual intent, from the side looks like pre-planned roleplay without any sort of risk. Had this been decided to be a blatant powergame, you would have not been warned. You were warned because "what you are doing right now is not something we see against the server rules as it is right now, but it was deemed as such by another member of the community and reported and you should know about it."
