Meet Dirk, a Level 63 Modern Vampire.
He has 470 Clan members, earns 70 million blood from thousands of minions in an hour, has Attack and Defense Skills at more than 100, and he even has an arsenal of rare and coveted items. Unfortunately, Dirk is no more. A force greater than the Vampire Elders has consigned him to oblivion. In other words, Facebook has deactivated my account!
In a way, Dirk is to blame for the sanction. In order for him to become more powerful, I had to be “Friends” with strangers from all over the world to add to his clan. So I invited a host of other Vampire Wars players. Other players also invited me to join their Clan. Thus my Clan grew.
Eventually, I invited so many for the day that I was given a pink slip. Facebookers call it the pink slip of death, which basically warns users that that they are engaging in illicit behavior. I was attentive to these reprimands, but the system had a bug.
Reading your Inbox while under the sanction of the pink slip counts as a violation of the warning. Unfortunately, I read my Inbox while checking for mail from would be Clan members. Facebook did not approve of this. They deactivated my account last week.
I appealed my case to them. I told them I was dutiful in following their rules and regulations. I also pointed out the bug. They sent me an automated reply regarding my case along with a message that I review their Terms of Use. I have yet to hear from them again.
So Dirk is now stuck in purgatory. He cannot reach the dreaded Level 70, nor can he gain more powerful Clan members. He rests, and waits for the Facebook Elders to grant him his undeath back.

PS On another note, I am also glad that Facebook deactivated my account. At the least, I now have time to pursue more productive pursuits like blogging…
