I'll chip in that both my chat and areas of the forum I've been involved in have been impacted by either DWR members or friends of DWR members stating, as if it were fact, that Char apparently created a revenge faction with no InRp origin.
This isn't true. A couple of minutes using the search tool on the forums will make this obvious, or a look at Char's post history. I've known char for years, VWA (now DWR) for years. This isn't what is going on. Even if he did (he didn't), what on earth is a "revenge faction"?
A similar faux-controversy occurred when the rumour-weed attempted to claim Zeph', upon return, invented spontaneously a relative of the previous Kusarian Emperor, when he didn't; the character had significant RP history.
A general rule is, if you think a person is guilty of wrongdoing, don't behave in a manner normal for a human being under 15 and spread negative discord rumours. If they turn out to be untrue, you're going to be the fall-guy, not the person who is being badmouthed.
Let's keep it real. I like DWR, I like the Spring Guard. The situation itself is absurdium, Salem Witch-trial stuff. Its now got to the point that lead story devs for the area, who want both of you in the Rheinland dev chat, won't have representatives for both groups there because they're afraid of the two of you tearing yourselves to pieces.
Enough. I've personally banned all mention of the controversy in UN chat, as the Rumour Mill is starting to impact my faction, as well. You both have excellent faction leaders and Rheinland is big enough for the two of you.
