My big bad: I raided an ex-town of mine five days after having left it, unaware of the two-week cooldown period before a town is again lawfully raidable. The admins corrected me in chat and I admitted my mistake. They recommended I return the stolen items or else they could take them directly from my inventory and return them to the town in question. I agreed. Expecting an admin to appear momentarily and smooth things over, I sat tight and awaited further action.
The actions of Skuhoo, hero and vigilante: While I waited for an admin to come help, Skuhoo was silently wishing for me to return the items personally. He didn't tell me this, you understand. He just though it really hard at the computer. He forgot that it isn't enough to think thoughts at people, and that people feel better and safer when their authority figures make their intentions known. Instead, in his infinite and terrible wisdom, he froze my game and accused me of ignoring admins. I told him how I was waiting for an admin to help out. I expressed my opinion that breaking and reentering the town would be absurd.
I failed to recognize the sheer idiocy facing me. Where I saw words and sentences, he saw taunts and insults. He thought I talked too much and should be sat on. He started clenching and unclenching his fists. His fat face reddened and his blubbery lips quivered. He squeezed shut his little pig eyes and blindly mashed the keyboard. His aide overheard the commotion from the next room and rushed to soothe him. When his fit had passed, he realized that he had banned me for twenty-four hours. He hoped no one would notice and get him in trouble. Poor guy.
My ban lifts in a few minutes, so I have nothing material to gain by this. 24 hours? Big deal. I read a book and went on a jog. I only hope Skuhoo understands what happened and is sorry.
