Tommen sat back in his gilded chair which overlooked Vaterra. A servant stepped in, bowed their head and delivered a piece of parchment to him. This piece of parchment, different from all others, in the way that it carried the news of Adrian's decree and the Vekon Response.

He crumpled the piece of parchment up moments after reading it, he then threw into the streets below.


"So it begins," he thought to himself "Yet another war over that dreadful city. War never changes."

I just want to take a moment, having read over this thread, to say something:

Please, look at yourselves. All of you.

From somebody who stepped back from this community, from somebody who while having possessed controversial views in the past, is still at a loss as to how people are defending themselves in this thread.

I apologize if I stir up an already-ended argument, but I'm dumb founded at some of the people saying Skype shouldn't be used as a weapon against PoKs... when historically they're just as guilty as literally any other group.

Why do you have to use Skype for underhanded dealings? Why do you have to pass off things simply because you have a feeling, or an idea?

Most importantly: WHY have you all become so petty and pallid to adversity?

The RP community here has never been perfect - far from it. But at this point, at this time, I'm woe stricken at how little has changed in terms of people treating each other. Where's the kindness? Taking one another seriously?

Come on, World 42. This is embarrassing. I mean, really... I feel a sincere sadness towards a community I once loved, for how far its allowed itself to sunder. And trust me, I know - I've made some of these same mistakes. But I've stepped back, I've tried to learn.

Please, take a step back. Read what you've said on this thread and possibly elsewhere, be it other threads, Skype, or In-Game. Is this really what you enjoy doing to or with one another?

Yes.




Now do us all a favour and **** off back to whatever cave you crawled your way back from.
We come here with no peaceful intent, but ready for battle, determined to avenge our wrongs and set our country free.

I don't think any of this is anything new or worse than before, to tell the honest to God truth. In my several years here, it's all been rather the same. Yes, several years ago the "underhanded dealings" moved from friend chats and PMs to Skype, but you were around for that transition.

People have always been petty and pallid to adversity. Before, however, there was a land claims mechanic to hide behind. When that was stripped, the world was silent and it was hidden because people were unsure of how to go about attacking each other anymore. Recent trend has favoured ignoring or closed-end 'plot' (a byword for 'my way'), and when people try it another way, this is what happens. The truth comes out.

Apparently, I'm an instigator. As far as I know, the only thing I did was ask once if we could invade for Lumbridge, and we were given a very clear 'No'. If that makes me an instigator, if I've paved the way for everyone to unveil their pettiness and depravity (mine own included, I suppose) to each other, then call me an instigator.

Etiquette has never existed, except when enforced by the Land Claims mechanic. Since that disappeared, nothing has regimented it. Community accepted a "my land my rules" mentality. Attempts to break that mentality are met with hostility, on all sides.

There have never been voluntarily uniform ethics. There has only been mere inconsistent convention.
