I was clearly being, in order, a wooden palisade repairman, a lumberjack and king of the rock. I was doing things that peasants do!
Except being beaten down by your superiors and dying a horrible death.
Unfortunately for you, this game isn't actually a palisade repair simulator, nor does it have any elements of resources gathering within the game modes. King of the rock is also not one of said game modes.
15 hour ban for leeching. Being a peasant can be bad, but you're making it worse for yourself when you break the rules.
