Just a note: I'm not saying, proposing, hinting to, alluding to, or in any way suggesting that the players rise up in some kind of rebellion against the server administration, and carry on their glorious quest for the freedom of the story from the tyrannical grip of the creator, etc etc whatever. All I'm saying is that ultimately, the players are in control of the story.
I really don't feel that it should even be necessary for me to clarify that. I mean honestly, no, I am not looking for a sanction, or to get in any kind of trouble. But apparently I've got to be so careful of what I say around here and make sure nothing can be misconstrued as some sort of attack on the community, other players, the server, etc. This is not addressed to you, Jamez, but to that horde of "sankshun" fans out there that are just looking to rack up their tally of filed sanction reports.

So anyways, back to constructive discussion...
Would the appropriate faction leaders, players, whatever, be willing to discuss both the IC and OOC issues present in a less flammable setting? If so, we should probably start a new thread to discuss it, and make a clean break from this one.
