I'd like to know when I "pretty much admitteD" that. > It's ironic to bemoan a situation that you've created and have strive to maintain. I really don't want to get into a pissing match, but why is the magic-nature conflict forced on the cabal? You're acting like there was this golden age of Master RP that was torn down by fighting Sylvan. I don't agree. Why is the conflict forced in? By the way Thera has been defined to work, magic and nature to some degree screw with each other. Now, the Tower can get more or less peaceful in general (this is a mortal leader choice) and does not have to constantly raid Sylvan. If the mortal leadership of of both cabals wants it, there can be a shaky peace at times. Why is it shaky? Why can't it be permanent? Why can't Sylvan and Master sing, hold hands, and run around killing duergar ragers forevermore? Because (for both Master and Sylvan) the other side is, intentionally or not, fucking with something you (as a character in either cabal) claim is important to you? Being afraid to die is really the only reason I can think of why you would want to be best friends with someone like that.
> 95% of the post was about the Master IMMs activly blocking attempts by Masters to stop the nature-magic war and get back to their old style of RP, which even you've pretty much admitted was better, but you totally ignored that and chose one sentence to over-analyze.
