Respect the conflict!

Hey, so I wanted to clear some things up for all you peace loving hippies out there.
Don't ruin the fun of others in this game, just stop it. If you dislike conflict then do your best to make peace or avoid fighting, but don't ruin the conflict based roleplayer's fun by making peace 100% of the time.
Tension and skirmishes should be okay, especially when it involves conflict based roleplayers and most certainly not Peace loving hippies or crafters and such. If you don't want in then seriously, just bugger off.
Now don't take this the wrong way, The way this conflict recently was avoided ig seemed legit, but the speed that people go to "It was ooc setup, it always happens" and then not believing anything your townsfolk say or do, or even caring for them at all is pathetic. Take Bob for instance, he's a lawful evil guy, but one who is quite good at keeping his misdeeds hidden besides for a few he's open about. He follows the laws, takes orders etc etc, but when he see's a chance to get a bit of fighting going on with the people he's sworn to be an enemy of in a setting that would benefit him legally.. yeh well it's annoying when all the roleplay he puts in is then disregarded.
Same goes if someone is attacked and they want to push for a response, our chars are people as well, when the game world treats them harshly they can turn out to be monsters. If the life of a real man and his family is threatened, he doesn't send them fish, or hide inside a city. So stop treating these characters like that's what they should do, because it's our rp and it isn't how it should be.
So it's pretty simple, don't be unrealistic in your expectations for your fellow roleplayers and they won't leave the game, quite a few people I loved to play with left because of the complete lack of any conflict, like Erin Thorstar for instance, if the po came around now she'd tell you the same. We're finally getting characters back and even some new guys in, so aye don't drive the warriors away with your boring shenanigans, because I like those folk.
anyway cheers, no personal feelings kept here just wanna play the game and enjoy it
