Why extremism is so violently condemned on leanon/arispotle ? - English

Stitch (atys)

This is refreshing to hear and something that Bittymacod and his lot could do to learn. People like him were never able to separate RP, PVP and their RL feelings. This is what leads him to label those whom he doesn't agree with as "bullies". The fault doesn't lie with the PvPer or the RPer but with the ones who can't separate it from RL.

I have to say, though, that we are always up on a thight rope here. There are people who don't enjoy being part of aggession in a game, and they usually have good reasons. The experiences during the temple wars had many Leanon players leaving the game, mainly Karavaneers, as they were outnumbered by the Kamists and really had only limited chance to be part of the playing experience anymore. You often were slaughtered before you could reach the spots, you certainly was when there, and sometimes they would even overrun the camps. So we ended up with three Kami shrines and one Karavan temple (which even wasn't fully finished). These experiences made Chanchey's guild that big, because many players - Karavaneers and Kamists alike - joining there didn't want to be part of that. Also, some were harrassed by players who called those complaining "whiners". That was a long time ago, but still - it's a thing those who were there have in the back of their heads. I was neutral for a very long time and understand well those who do not want to be part of a conflict.

Everything is even more different if you are part of a political chamber. That, to my understanding, requires the ability either to hold a peace or - if neccessary - to go to war. If someone is peaceful (as I fundamentally are), I will listen to him and be as sweet as honey. If he/she is not, I will listen and then, if necessary, bring in the Guard to take him away. ^^
