I don't really take the kitin events to be roleplay events in a sense because often times the devs/csrs make some raids to give us some fun. That's what I took it as really. I suppose it could possibily be leading to something since they are a bit different than usual.

Never argue with an idiot; they will just drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.
