> I'm reminded of the story of the Boy who cried Wolf, in a way.. after your and the other smuggers cheating so many times, bending/breaking rules, I guess the Imms have gotten to the point where they tend to assume the worst of you.
> And well, I can't say I blame them. They're only human, nor are they omnipotent, and they can't afford to go letting people they believe to be breaking the rules to just go on their merry way.
> You, Arolin, and such, have all probably gotten so many second chances from the Imms it's not even funny. Life isn't fair, no one has a right to a second chance (much less third, and so on). I personally believe people should get a chance to prove they've changed/learned what they did wrong in the past.. But, even if you get another chance, it takes a long, long time to overcome all the negative stuff that happened in the past. In truth, players like you have to be so squeaky clean there isn't even a shadow of a doubt that you might even be bending the rules, let alone breaking one. When you're trying to make up for a bad past, that's just the way it works, fair or not.
> Now, I only see what you posted here, and what I know of you and the other smuggers in general, so take this with a grain of salt. As far as the Immortal in your log, I think he (or she) acted as he had to, given who you are, and your site's history, when it comes to cheating.
