Wonder why in any other game I know, played or was admin at doesn't allow admins to take part in clans?
Simple reason is to avoid any accusations and doubts. I actually don't care enough about the bug and exploit infested Strategus to blame/accuse anyone. But if one thing has been proven than that there is doubt in the community.
And there is no need to talk it down because everyone saw a lot of respected players stating doubts about the "situations".
For me: It's less about blaming certain figures but about having the bad feeling in the gut that things are going the wrong way. Which is taking the fun out of it when you can't stop thinking that some things are fishy.

If anyone seriously thinks this might have happened before or might happen in the future, do the only possible consequence and turn around and find a different game. Because a game like this is not worth playing, at all.
This was posted while I wrote the above. That quote is close to "no fun when things may be fishy".
On the other hand: beer gets banned but I can't remember reading anything about punishment for the ticket- and equipment-waster. Have you ever thought about how stuff like that looks to people? What kind of impression this makes?
I already wrote to cmp on a different topic (banner purge) that there is a huge lack of communication between staff and community. How about you guys make a statement about the "beer inccident and his accusations" telling the player base exactly what you did and what you're going to do? Cuz just making a post now and then, being all dramatic but not actually saying anything doesn't cut it anymore as it seems. Just talk to and with us.
