I have read every post in this thread, and you can all rest assured about these things :
1. Not all of the Admins agreed, or were even informed about wolfpack's announcement that started all of this. The first I learned of it was when I saw it posted.
2. This is being discussed in the Admin forum, and I promise you all that there will be public Admin input about this entire issue. It will take several days or even a week, because of our real life commitments and the time of year. We also are in several time zones that are literally on opposite sides of the planet, so the back and forth volleys of conversations may take a day in between.
That said, I will give those of you who were up all night (in my time zone anyway) waiting with bated breath to see how this turns out a hint : I believe that freedom is superior to tyranny, and I will not easily agree to allowing any individual player or player faction group to impose their definitions or conceptions on anyone else who disagrees with them and back that up with gunfire. This has been tried here in various forms, and in my judgment they are almost all universal failures. We may be stuck with some of them, but that is no reason to bend over and grab our ankles when more try to muscle their way in.
To put it another way, those of you in The Order with disagreements had better start figuring out how to settle them with words, compromise, and conciliation. Consider that an order from THE Command Council around here.
