This is kind of long.
There were 2 chain breaks today. Both Je-Leigh and Tarlet broke earlier today and took nearly the entire chain with them. The chain is partially fixed now, but people have been cut out in order to fix it quickly. Both Tarlet and Je-Leigh had posted requests to be removed, and removal orders had been posted a day or so ago. Neither of them waited long enough for the removals to happen. For those of you who got dragged out of the monarchy along with them, you know who to yell at.
I'm not sure why either of them chose to break the chain as they left, and it doesn't really matter. The result of it is that several people are out of the monarchy right now for no good reason.
I'm not sure of all of the reaons for Tarlet's leaving. Je-Leigh had been reported for unattended combat macroing (UCM).
Panzerfaust talked to Je-Leigh. She said she macroed. He explained to her that UCM was against our CoC. Before anyone starts yelling about macroing, yes, some people "perhaps have macroed at some point in the past." Or they know of someone who has macroed in the past. Or whatever.
Je-Leigh was not part of a hunt against people who UCM. We are all (mostly) big kids, and are expected to honor the CoC. However, if someone is brought to the attention of Panzerfaust or the HC, that particular situation will be addressed. Je-Leigh could have chosen to abide by the CoC she agreed to when she joined the monarchy, or she could have chosen to leave (my words, not Panzer's). She chose to leave, and posted a request to be removed.
The problem with all of this is that Tarlet and Je-Leigh didn't even begin to allow a reasonable amount of time for the removals to happen before they decided to break. For all of those who are out of the monarchy because of this, I apologize for the disruption (since I doubt either of them will apologize). Anyway, here are the chain actions today.
The bottom break: Je-Leigh broke, leaving Cosmic Storm as the monarch. Cosmic wasn't on, so I had Highto last swear around the break. The result of this is the Cosmic Storm (below) and Mage Yaluk (above) are out of the monarchy right now.
The upper break: Not so pretty. Tarlet broke, leaving Xbowman as the monarch. There were something like 45 chain members between the two breaks.
I couldnt' find Xbowman through Compadre ingame, so Dangerous Lady closed the lower part of the break. Going up, I couldn't find from Amplyt ultym through Double-Bow-VII, so DL swore to me. The result of this is the following two sections of people are out of the monarchy.Bottom break:
Mage Yaluk level 123
Cosmic Storm level 105
Upper break, section one:
Double-Bow-VII level 152
Four-Twenty level 147
Dezayn level 147
Heatmiser level 144
Ziedan level 143
Amplyt ultym level 143
Upper break, section two:
Xbowman level 134
Muneman level 139
Kfin level 140
Thorgrim lvl 141
Coji level 139
Thray level 140
Anca level 142
B r u c e L e e level 138
Mithacal level 145
Wraithblade level 133
Compadre level 122
I'll post reinsertion orders right away. (It has taken me so long to write this, they may already be posted by someone else.
