I love threads like this and I think it should be encouraged.
It bothers me that there are even posts in this thread by people telling them to take it to private messages.
Just because YOU aren't interested in this topic, doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. This forum doesn't revolve around people who aren't interested in reading, writing, and participating, it revolves around the people who are interested. If you don't like what's going on, click the back button. Nobody forced you to read the thread so complaining it exists is the act of a psychic vampire. Chronic vampires aren't even usually aware that they do this, and it can be done from a distance, and through all mediums, with or without communication. On forums it generally takes the forum of people being purposefully antagonistic with the purposes of either preventing others from speaking their peace or forcing others to adhere to an individuals principles.
If it REALLY is that much of a problem, perhaps there should be an individual forum folder specifically for discussions of politics. At least then we wouldn't get random people complaining about it.
So KUDOS to both Bat Masterson, Imaezu, and Neo, for at the very least having the courage to post their opinions here on this forum, where the people who ARE INTERESTED can read it. While not everyone is interested, some are, and if it was never posted, the interested parties would never have been able to find out.
As for my opinions on this:
Imaezu overreacted.
There is a distinct difference between getting dueled a few times by someone, and being killed every 2 days with the intent of being knocked out.
I know people who have left towns because they get knocked out like clockwork by people who hate them. It is fairly obvious when this is happening, and it doesn't involve the random duel from people seeking experience or fame.
By Imaezu declaring war over a single duel, and requesting his entire town group to attack, is putting his interests first over the empire, especially at the cost of an '8' (someone said) hour trip. It was an overreaction and costs his empire too much to fight back.
BUT on the other hand
As a position of leadership, he has to rule by both example and as a figurehead. If someone attacks him it should be considered a crime against the state itself and action must be taken. I personally don't support an entire call to war against the other town group based on the actions of one individual (unless it was the mayor of the other town that attacked). What would have been prudent would have been a request sent out, or a group of vigilante's put together that would fight for Imaezu's honor.
The fact that Imaezu put his town's position in the empire at stake because of a refusal to assist in a spontaneous personal war is extreme. Perhaps he felt it would be a good opportunity for his towns to join together and practice a combined attack.
Things like this will become a lot more interesting when FORTs are implemented.
Either way, Imaezu and his town, or the other part of the town group run by bat masterson, are more than welcome to join the galactic empire. I can put in a good word with canberktr to get your application approved.
Anyway I want more PnP plz. Don't leave me hanging.
