IC
So it seems like in the recent past a specific member of the House of Nobles has murdered some Kamists while they were digging in the Prime Roots. That happened before he became a Noble. And it obviously offended and upset a bunch of people - some of them happened to be Akenak, but the Akenak as an institution was not behind the event.
So perhaps an alternative response could have been sending an official communication to the House of Nobles stating their displeasure with the nomination of the aforementioned Matis and explaining their reasons.
Maybe that could have avoided some trouble and confusion.
OOC
I still have the feeling that the lines between IC and OOC are kinda blurry here. Just as an example, I have two different opinions on this, one IC and one OOC.
IC, the character Rikutatis is against the blockade imposed by the Nobles. It's immoral, etc.
OOC, the player behind the screen, the guy typing this, actually thinks the blockade was an excellent idea and a good move by the Nobles. Not because I like to see children die in a drought, but because I know these are fictitious children in a fictitious drought.
So what matters to me is fun and interesting RP. And usually, political conflict and tension makes for fun RP. There were some very good RP moments in this thread. There's a reason writers write novels about conflict, not about people getting along for the entire 400 pages of the book. Because conflict makes for interesting stories.
But it should be just RP. Characters. The moment it becomes hard feelings between players then I have to start reconsidering my opinion about conflict in RP as it applies to Ryzom =P
And Lili! If you quit the Akenak, then WHO is going to kick Akenak prisoners in the shin and push them around?! It wouldn't be nearly as fun =P
Lili in the Akenak forever! (or at least until the next term) =D
