On August 16, 2007 the Sans Pareilian Foreign Affaird Director attempted to resign from the alliance because he felt he was highly disliked, but was denied by Grand Master Mely Ranen. Mitchell posted a claim of two more topics on his resignation, which were all deleted by Mely. Later in the day Mitchell was put on the Pareilian blacklist and an open target to anyone from Sans Pareil who could visit his alliance and ask for him to be removed. This is just what had happened. The briefing of the events that day was presented by Mely Ranen on August 20. From the Sans Pareilian forums:
