he explained this in game, but I guess not here. He said he is on a business trip to Asia for three weeks. He left later than he thought, but he still went. I don't recall when he said this, I think it was the last time he was in the server. So don't hold this period of time against him.
also, it sucks that calics doesn't like him, but i have never seen anything suspicious, he's just good, and uses his sound. I don't know if an objection from one person is enough to deny someone who so far has shown clean play.
