Okay, I seem to still have some fallout from this. I am not sure how it should be corrected.
After getting a flawless DK, hitting continue led to the php error on line 206 with a reference to akatsuki.php. The URL did NOT indicate badnav.php. I petitioned. Once corrected, as I noted earlier in this post, I had the option to assign my DK point. After reading this and finding out it had been corrected, I assigned the point and it took me back to my dwelling, still at level 15. I am still considered an Anbu Captain with 25 DKs. I can travel to Hoshi Gakure. I am really not that upset with this, except I lost two days with my 'prize mount' and I would like the opportunity to kill Kabuto (so my Kabuto Kills are only 2 behind my DKs, like normal). But whatever. I am just not sure where I should go from here. I did resubmit a petition explaining this as well.
