Zurk, Zurk, Zurk. First, I don't see that much Constructive Criticism coming from you, just rehashing of old, finished topics like the failed desire to see Zormite be a kingdom of fish people. That issue was settled, a long time ago. Hijacking threads and starting new threads regularily to rehash old completed debates is an example of spamming and is actually against the code of conduct.
The fact is, game mechanics was an important element back in your time, on 2k1, and is still to this day. The problem is that people can level up to very high levels, which is primarily to provide player retension, to increase playtime - the real retension feature shouldn't be the prospect of hitting lvl 110, but the community and roleplaying. Still, not all of GK (much of GK actually) is in any kingdom, and is not part of that RP community, so its a feature none the less.
Still, I ask if you can give me one example of a way a human player can be recruited by zormite and forced into fishness that has some RPish sense about it.

If he quit the band, he quit the band. If the band improves itself over the next 5 years, does new things, gets a new style, sorry, if Nappa left he left. He can't walk in 4 years later and act like he's the boss and can tell everyone what to do - those band members put five years of their life into its development and Nappa would have no right to tell them to do things his way or walk away from all they have done and worked for.
-That- is where your reasoning crumbles. There is no reason on Earth you can say that is not so.
I don't care what you think Zormite -should- be you need to accept how it -is- and will be until such time as the players in it -want- to change it...its up to them, not you, not me, and certianly not nappa.
Also, it bothers me you don't want to put in the time to lead a nation, but do want to tell everyone how to run them according to your untested, ill founded ideas of what will work. If you want to work with kingdom leaders, then lets work together.
I am actually working to improve RPing right now - in all the kingdoms - and have posted threads for interkingdom plot lines that we can develop and try to actually get some things rolling. Get over your control issues and try to come up with some solutions that can be put into place, and if you don't have what it takes and want to just say the tired old 'well the GK staff don't care so nothing can be done' way out, then don't critize ad nauseum those of us trying to actually make the place better.
