Greetings,

This inquiry is in regards to three accounts of mine (and associated mules) which were banned last year, on the charge of botting. I tried clearing up the issue back when the bans occurred, but due to an incomplete understanding of the charges against me provided by Gaia, I was not able to give a good response or case for my innocence.

The accounts in question are Skadefryd (5886886), Fatality Now (6281834), and War is Peace (6356111). During Feb '07 I fished on all three accounts with intent to win multiple trophies in the same lake, a feat previously not accomplished by any fisher. Playing on a Macintosh computer with vanilla browsers (Firefox, Mozilla, and Seamonkey, usually), I was able to fish on multiple accounts at once. This, I think, was the crux of the problem, as I fished for a bronze Durem trophy in Sept '07 in identical conditions (but only one account) and suffered no lash of justice. So whoever was in charge of fishing and game-related bans at the time of Skadefryd and co's bans (Truantduck?) clearly did not believe such a feat of multitasking was possible for a human.

However, I'd like to demonstrate to the admins of Gaia that it is indeed possible. I'd be willing to provide real world footage, video screen capture, or whatever other evidence may help demonstrate that a human was behind all the fishing, and did not appreciate being banned for the crime of giving a superior effort. I can show a video, dating to Nov '06, documenting the first stumbling efforts towards multifishing, create any demonstration required as soon as fishing is re-enabled, and even provide a couple of screenshots from Feb I took of my fishing endeavors.

Besides any material evidence, I'd also like to point anybody curious to the fact that I did not fish alone. Though I stuck to a passworded room to keep out riff-raff, I almost always had a friend (or two or three) stopping by to fish a reset or chat. At the least, I recall Bria_Teragram (She has several accounts with the name Bria_Teragram and various quantities of ), tiranaki, and bluedragonfly687 (now OBJECTIVITY) being common visitors, but many other fishers can vouch for my character and integrity.

Getting the trophies that I earned would be very nice, considering that I spent around an average of 10 hours per day, every day fishing during that month. However, I'd be plenty happy to just get my accounts back, especially Misplaced Pixels (5541018) who was my primary account.

Thank you for your time.
