Bitttymacod (atys)
Exodus --
Did you miss the part that I was talking about the time before the merger when I was both a Tryker nationalist and a dutiful Karavan? What I presented was my roleplay credo during the time when I was active in OP battles, and active in debating religious matters in roleplay with devout Kamis.
You have not shown me anywhere in the Lore that commands followers of the Kami (or Karavan) not to associate, trade with or join with the opposing side in common enterprises (such as fighting kitins or Marauders). I presume that command is in the rules of the Alliance, but it is not in Lore. You are free to play by those rules. I will not, and apparently there are a number of Kami who also will not.
As far as I'm concerned if roleplay does not follow the Lore, then the roleplay may as well take place in some other game where opposing sides cannot lure player toons to change their flag, or even talk to each other. That's how I see it. If it is not based in Lore, then what is the roleplay based in? In your case it seems to be based in the rules of the Kami Alliance. You are free to make and follow those rules, but I am free to disagree with them.
You are correct that I do not need to justify my current position based on the Kara/Kami lore, but I do have to justify it based on what small lore we have concerning the Rangers.
Yes, you can be upset - I do not deny you that right. However, you seem to be telling me that I *cannot* be upset, just because I am (currently) neutral? I don't think so. The current status quo affects me as a neutral, and not in a good way.
As for forums -- most of my roleplay in forums consists of reporting on events that actually happened on the server (for the benefit of those who could not be present) or presenting invitations (framed in roleplay terms) for others to join me ingame for roleplay. (I will admit to some number of simple journal entries that I wrote in the hope of illustrating the methods of aligning a players mind towards roleplay.)
You say that I cannot be affected by other people's roleplay because I post things in the forums? I challenge that assertion. Each time people play with me, and each time they do not, I am affected. (An obvious example might be the hunting of the aggressive white kitins and the scouting of the behavior of them as homins have tried to close the kitin Mounds.) That this roleplay does not involve battles against other homins does not make it more or less roleplay.
Sir, I debate you. I do not call you names. I do not intend to insult you. I merely present my point of view in response to your statements.

I have nothing against you, but hey, if you reply to Maxxye with stuff from the Lore and your own personal point of view, I simply had to remind you the way we see the whole situation, eye for eye etc
I felt you were sarcastic, when clearly there no point in doing that.

When Bittty was young he read the scriptures of both the Karavan and the Kamis. He read the Ten Commandments of Jena and the 8 revelations of Ma-Duk and the commentary thereon by Disciples and Sages. ((OOC: See information on http://bmsite.net and http://en.ryzomnomnom..com/wiki/Kami and http://en.ryzomnomnom..com/wiki/Karavan. Translations exist in other languages as well.)) He became a Karvan when young because his "father" was a Kami and Bittty blamed his father for leaving him in the refugee village to come to the new lands. Since the Second Swarming and the apparent inability of either the Kami or the Karavan to stop it, he has ceased to be associated with either the Kami or the Karavan as a church and has since then studied to become a Ranger.

Oh and one more thing, you *were* a karavan on Aris, you are neutral on *Atys*. Big difference, what was on Aris, stays on Aris. Plain and simple. Try to see the current situation and then "tell us the good news"
Also, kamist are doing RP ( most of them) why don't you preach to them about the Lore, when they used to kill kamis that were going with karas at season change as part of their "consolidating the alliance".
Kami Alliance is 80% of the population, majority wins, we had to adapt.
I'm suppose to fight against someone who uses all the dirty tricks and then besides the 80% of population I got more than 50% of karvans playing with kamis AND some neutral telling me how to play the game (yes, you are telling us how to play, cause you jumped in this discussion explaining us how you feel is right)
LOL, luckily for me, I dont care about this anymore, no really, I dont, for all I care the karavan can burn, but I wish you could see where your position is in all this and maybe you'll stop making it worse.
P.S. stop bringing the Lore when 80% of the people dont follow it, again, i dont understand why you preach to us, when the current situation starts from the top (where the power is).
Whatever..
