Sorry if I sound salty about this, but the civil war in general was a very good Idea. That's not only because I tried to actually get it to happen, but also because it brought some sense into the storyline (at least based on what was established previously). Ham-fisted attempts to make 'peaceful' houses to go to war just because you want them to be 'active' just drives away the already pretty sore RP-crowd. While I get that Discovery RP is somewhat lax with its consequences and bull**** guidelines (for instance that no faction can achieve its goals in the storyline development, because that would mean actual changing of the status quo and maybe some actual character development. We can't have that.) we shouldn't just decide everything based on what brings the most activity. Maybe instead of quantity focus on quality for once.
For Kusari (and pretty much Discovery) to move on, there needs to be a decision made. A decision to either keep the status quo and constantly bore the people to death with infrequent updates that lose steam and feel forced - a decision that is not wrong per se, but will result in RP becoming optional again, and therefore probably becoming obsolete as a unique feature. Or a decision to finally stop with the constant hugboxing and actually beginning to develop a storyline driven by inRP logic (not even necessarily player actions) rather than ooRP discussions.
So, to give a tl;dr: Players, stop constantly complaining about the lack of a war, go to your house of preference and shoot someone - there's plenty of targets even if you're not technically at war. And the staff: Think about re-evaluating the rules and guidelines you set for yourself, and finally decide what you want to be. An RP-Server or an MMO.
Yes. You are salty. We all know that now. No need for excuses anymore.
Anyways. You should already know that this is not working for Kusari. We've had a lot of activity during the war with bretonia. Yes. It is that simple. Every house needs a war. And i say that as one of the worst PVP'ers ever in Discovery and i am really not interessted in pews at all. Fact is. We need to do something about Kusari. And the Civil war thing doesn't work. Simple as that. Because this Comunity gives a damn *** about a civil war. Kusari is just to difficult to understand. A simple war against another is not. Sad but the truth.
