This is where the waters get muddy, anon, because I don't want to be unfair and claim the people who were accusing Kisekians of this weren't batshit. I would like it disclaimed henceforth: everyone involved was fucking batshit.
Okay, now that we got that covered: the juiciest bit I heard was when the Kiseki group allegedly went after the Polychromatic Magic Knight Rayearth cast by constantly namedropping them as shit on anon communities, or bashing people who praised them (and who were probably the Polychromatic cast themselves, because lbr that cast sucked.) The Polychromatic MKR cast was convinced Kisekians were after them, and I recall one of them had some weird screencaps of a Kiseki player (iirc, a mod?) anonfailing on rps.
Then there was some weird bullshit when anon communities, which still cared about CLAMP for some obscure fucking reason, wanted to know which CLAMP casts were any good; TRC, XXXholic and X were still played from quite a bit across multiple games, so some anons namedropped casts like Somarium's, etc. ( There were multiple casts namedropped as good, but I only recall Somarium for some reason ). Incidentally, every single cast was consequently bashed (with or without reason) following the namedrop, except Kiseki's casts. Sometimes, the bashing of the other casts even included comparisons to Kiseki's presumably superior casts, and how the other games' casts should learn from Kiseki's. (I remember in particular that soul_campaign's Kamui received this advice.)
Some anons also came out of the woodwork and confessed they were bullied when they played in Kiseki, that they were encouraged to bash other casts by Kiseki players and even by Kiseki mods, and that they had their characters revoked on dubious terms.
This is all I've got. Notably, there has never been much by way of actual proof that Kiseki players did all this shit; it's mostly been a lot of really questionable instances that together incriminate Kiseki players. Usually I'd say that's enough, because you don't get so much fucking smoke without any fire, but the thing is, a lot of casts got so paranoid of the Kiseki group, they would outright tell new castmates to expect bashing from Kiseki - so when you have groups predisposed to the mentality that KISEKI IS OUT TO GET THEM!!! is hard to say how much of what later went down was Kiseki, and how much just various anons who happened to think those casts were not okay, coupled with a decent dose of paranoia. If you ask me, Kiseki players probably did initiate a lot of shit, but I honestly doubt they did all, or even most of what they got accused of.
Hope that satisfies some of your deet cravings, and sorry for the memory lapses, or if I got some of the game casts mixed up (it really has been a while).
