Discrimination and Harassment
The following emails were sent to myself and Autumn on July 21, 2007.
Dear Autumn,
At this time your presence in River of Shadows is causing multiple individuals to feel uncomfotable for their physical and emotional well-being. At this time we feel that we can no longer accept your presence in the game. One year from this date July 21, 2007 we will accept a petition for you to enter the game.

Dear Alex,
Due to the fact that your presence in River of Shadows makes multiple people in the game uncomfortable and fear for their safety we will have to request you no longer attend this game. At this time we will no longer accept your presence in our game. We will accept a petition to the board at one year from this date of July 21, 2007 for permission to once again attend River of Shadows.

For those who go to the OWBN game: River of Shadows, Autumn and I have been discriminated against for no reason. To the best of our knowledge (as most of the players in ROS also game in Stockton By Night and Sacramento By Night) we have never been overtly hostile or threatening to anyone at a game or even on the property of a game, ever. In the OWBN they can do this, they can ban anyone for any reason at any time or for no reason at all. The reason that various games are allowed to do this and there is no rule put in place to keep this from occuring is that OWBN wants to give their various chronicles the ability to be able to weed out problem players that make game un-fun for everyone, we feel that in this case, the powers given to OWBN independent chronicles are being blatently, fragrantly, and malicously abused. We have no recourse unless the player base of the game disagrees with the ruling of the River of Shadows ST staff. Since the statements of ROS seem to be false and we believe that the majority of the ROS players do not feel this way about myself and Autumn, we would appreciate it if you would make it public and known of your disagreement. You can do this by telling Heather, the player representative for that game, or by not going at all. You can either mention this to her in person or attempt to get her contact information. For reasons of protecting heather's right to privacy we will not be giving out her phone number. She has said that she will be at ROS tonight if you would like to speak with her.
Thank you,
Alex & Autumn
