While there's a lot of rambling things in that post, I'll attempt to address a few: 1) Battlemage is a tower position. It is quite likely 75% Valguarnera's choice, and not one of the imms, insofar as he most likely made the choice and the imms just chose not to reject it. It's not a "special title", really, per se.
2) Your argument that you think imm conspiracy theories might be because of this is mind boggling. You think the imms would make a decision because they read the forum and saw that Bemused was Sihesar? Uh.. ever heard of the socket command? They knew he was Bemused from the moment he rolled. Any "conspiracies" would not only not require 'public knowledge' of who he was, but would make it LESS likely.
3) It's really not the purpose of the imms to go punishing characters for what they do outside the game. Characters can act like total asswads on the forum, and the imms won't take it in game because it doesn't BELONG there.
4) Who the fuck cares who you dislike? I'll give you one hundred to one odds that Minalcar/Thror or Challen/Dhaevor were chars that will be long remembered after the mighty Motiak/Grallon chars are forgotten (and likely mine will be forgotten too). Fine, you think they should keep who they are a secret, but insinuating that because they don't feel like they have to hide who they are (in what is, after all, a GAME for FUN) that they're trying to spread who they are for some nefarious gain is just retarded.
Rant off. :P
