"Ganking" Complaints (OORP)

[Markam]

Seeing as my name cropped up in the OP I should reply just to say what my "thinking" is.

I just encouraged dialogue between Wesker and his "opponents" (re: Madvillain and Exe - TBH/RM lead). Because regardless of anything, the relationship between faction player bases is fundamental to the game being played. You can have strong rivalries like RM vs RHA, but you can also have situations like MRG vs BAF, where the player base is shared to a certain extent, both work, but both require a certain level of mutual respect, or the situation that is happening now will continue. I am a strong believe that all parties are reasonable, sensible human beings, and I am also a strong believe in peoples ability to change, especially when we are considering the fact that most of the people involved are still growing as human beings, many people started playing this server in their early teens and some have grown up to be in their late twenties and thirties, and even the older players I think can make changes to their way of thinking and behavior, perhaps only in small increments, but it is possible.

I have heard both sides of the story, it is both personal and not personal in nature, both sides take jabs at the conduct of leadership and the attitude in-game, and of the personality of individuals. Wesker claims there are isolated incidents, and while it is not perfect, it is not as abysmal as stated. The other side has the opinion that it is not isolated and it is in fact ingrained in the RHA philosophy, encouraged by Wesker and others, to attack with force in all scenarios, sometimes due to angst at story, sometimes because of personal hate like that against the likes of Tanith (Riel). I was preset at Hamburg on the RHA side, and the conduct was not good. I think to a certain extent both sides are correct, and while Wesker has stated he is sick of apologizing and asking for fresh starts, I must compel all parties to try again, and again, and again.

And I encourage all parties to grow a little each new start, and always, always maintain one key thought, that people are not the devil 24/7.
