Why would anyone inflict this upon his people??
If I was Zen, I would not.


B) Tseng, Dustari traditions change as well, one minute we have a Senate, next minute we don't. 90% of our active members haven't even SEEN a 2k1 kingdom, and there is not that much talk of traditions. We have our colors, our flag, and some basic history elements. A while back (in 2k1 I think) Zurk mentioned we had people broken down into different noble houses, and it didn't work. Should someone find an 'in game solution' to that 'non-rpish' change?


C) Based on all the remarks here, it really seems the only reason anyone wants fish people in Zormite is to pick on them for...having fish heads.


D) Kingdoms *are* allowed to evolve and find their own way, a few things about Zormite traditions that *have* held strong:

1) They have never entered an aggressive war (at least since I've been here)
2) They have never fallen to an invader
3) They have always stood by their allies (generally us, Dustari) even when outnumbered and putting themselves at risk.
4) They have never allied with a nation hostile to others

I call those traditions.

Good ones.


I think Dustari is the only other kingdom that holds most of those (we were forced into a treaty with the Astri, ie, fell, and forced to ally with a hostile nation at that time)

I hope in the future, we still hope to those traditions.


Personally, I don't think I'd enjoy RPing in a republic as much, and the terms dictator and first lady, etc, are more modern than I would pick. I wouldn't slander Zen for it though - it's his nation and he does a good job.

I don't know, maybe some people have 'jealesouy issues' - because I can't see why anyone would attack Zen as a leader.

You suggested the fish head thing.

he said no

how about going on with life?
No... Governments can change. Races cant.

You cant be fish people one moment and then suddenly become Humans and still call yourself Zormites.

It's not to pick on. It's to bring the traditions. Not bashing. Zen is my friend, and I support the fish head thing.
