Andrew, you really need to start actually looking at your F7 list. Every time I have logged on, there has been nobody on BO tag. And if you don't believe me, I have been collecing a number of screenshots for some time now in order to make that clear. They are not very active at all. Their RP stuff defies what is considered to be normal, (Summoning a Cthulu, which was an idea stolen from H.P. Lovecraft.) they have destroyed a kingdom with, like you said, 4 years of storyline or more, and treat other leaders that had agreed after the death of Etein to be at peace with them. Please tell me what is commendable about that.

You keep asking me why B.O. should be taken out, and all I've been able to respond with is my prior answers. Well, I have come up with a good one now.

Bel'la Olplyn was a kingdom created simply because the leaders did not want to live with the past bad experiences that had happened. So, they created this kingdom in order to cover all of it up. What they may not realize, though, is that it didn't need to be. Zormite is a strong kingdom for roleplay, and would've been even stronger if the whole fish concept had been kept up. I have been in Samurai before for quite a long time, and I can honestly say that the potential they have to roleplay very very well is overshadowed by the Zormitians' potential. However, with Bel'la in place, this is not so. Bel'la Olplyn's entire primary race is a carbon-copy of what already exists in Forest, and gives them the arguement that they should be able to assimilate Forest, since the two races are very closely related. This will negatively affect Forest as well, and if it were to spread like that, where would it go to next? I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of one kingdom engulfing all the others. The idea of having Drows in their kingdom is one borrowed from Forest. The idea of them having a Cthulu is one borrowed from Lovecraft. The idea of them even being able to summon a sea creature was one directly taken from their old kingdom. So essentially, they are taking premade ideas and using them to roleplay. Granted, all kingdoms do so, but not many of them take large ideas like that and turn them into real stuff. So, in conlusion, Bel'la has a weak basis for roleplay because all of their ideas have been taken off of others in order for them to claim that they have 'leet RPing skills.'

At least Forest, Dustari, and CP try. (No offense to Samurai. They just need a little polishing, that's all.)
