A way to get back to constructive roleplay would be to end the Icus related quarrels. As a possibility, the Senate of the Burning Desert could declare (in response to Zhoi's letters to Senate and Sharükos) that they acknowledge the merits of Hoi Cho representative and former (Leanon) Zorai Ambassador Zhoi in the relations between the theocracy and the Empire and do not see any offence uttered by Zhoi against the Fyros people, the Empire, or the Sharükos. Further on that they hope for a reconciliation of the conflict between Akenak Icus and Zhoi. Such minor slap Icus must sustain for his unconstructive and childish blame game. And Zhoi should be content with.
With the Matis, the matter is more complicate, as both sides have taken extreme positions. The key might be that Akenak Icus admits that his insults of foreign guests in a national assembly in presence of the Sharükos were a mistake and that he regrets them and assumes responsibility. That were what could be expected from a warrior dedicated to truth, honor, justice, and discipline. In such case, the Matis could hardly uphold the demand that the Akenak humiliates himself by going to the Kingdom like a pupil. They could state that they still uphold their invitation, even for a shorter period that a full Atys year, as a sign of mutual trust.
After that, probably international RP could shift to subjects of more interests, best such resulting in small spontaneous events after an assembly. That was what we had on Leanon, repeatedly. Recently, the Igaras in Upper Bog may be a target to name just one.
Btw. in Fyros, Icus has opened another row by asserting a ban of bearing arms during an assembly and bossing Diwu by refusing her right to speak. That conflict is also to be resolved. None of the Leanon Fyros or inhabitants of the Burning Desert is willing to be made a dog or slave of Icus. All free inhabitants of the desert have the absolute right to carry and bear arms anytime. (I have to correct that and to apologize. Icus and Bardor have shown me that the ban of weapons has been decided in an Akenak session unanimously. As much as I consider that rule idiotic, my accusation is proven false and inappropriate.)
**) as a final comment: I experienced Icus as a friendly, helpful, and sympathetic player most times, and my criticism only concerns his conduct in roleplay. I am aware that most of that is meant humorous or sarcastic, not hostile. Yet transporting humour over language boundaries is one of the most challenging tasks, and most times fails.
