I know EXACTLY what the purpose of Kingdoms are. I know what you and your friends are trying to do. I of all people know that, and understood that. My whole argument has always been the means at which you do it. I am not trying to make you out to be a jerk, nor am I trying to make your friends appear that way as well. Look at what you guys say, you're doing it all yourselves. All I have to do is highlight here and there.

The quest to morph the entire game into a roleplaying community is a daunting task that cannot be done by one person. You were trying to do it by yourself for a while. You still have a small group of people who support your mission as well.

The point is, a small group isn't going to change the minds of everyone. Especially if they get loud or criticize leaders of kingdoms. You want someone to be a leader who meets those qualities, well I'll tell you that it's going to be difficult to find a person like that, moreless five. I have no problems with any of the Kingdom leaders. They have received their positions for a reason. You NEED to respect that. Whether or not you agree to their right or actions in those positions doesn't matter. The fact that they have them should command your respect, as they wouldn't still be there if not for the support of their members.

You will not create change by offending the people you are trying to teach. They will just ignore you or go do something else. That or retaliate negatively against you. If you're doing such things to bring those actions, just so you can say "look at that, they just have proven what I spoke of" then it's not an honorable strategy.

You will never get someone to listen if you offend them. You are never going to receive respect if you dwell on the negative. You will receive respect, if you give respect. The attitude I got from your blackguard was that he would only respect others if they respected him. That is the fatal component of your entire plan.

Anyway, I will continue with my own plan. It's honestly stupid to try and change everyone at once. It's best to focus on the smaller individual groups first, then move on. That's been my plan from the beginning.

Comment however you want. It's wasting my time now. I have tried to get these points through your head, but I guess you don't want to listen. Isn't it ironic?
