CMPie11 was banned for "Taking horses". He told me that Pandadork gave him three horses for ten apples. after we got the horses he changed his mind and said that it was only worth one. on the way to the horses pandadork called a mod and the mod sided with pandadork i only want him unbanned. if you tell someone they can have three horses for apples you shouldn't take it back days later and ban him.

Hi I'm new to the forums and I was looking though my profile and saw that my position was newbie. I have played for over a year and I was wondering how long it would take to go up on positions. Thanks for your replies and I hope to play with all of u on opti.
