That is a rather bad idea - people don't like to just drop a character they have developed most of the time. Please try to find a working solution.

I already stated that...its easy. Just try this: Zormite race settles civilization, they are zenophobic at first, but adjust over time, humans come to the land as traders, end up making up a large portion of the civiliation, and due to factors that don't affect the humans, the zormites steadily die off. The culture stays largely the same, until of course the republic was born, but Zen has documented that enough and I don't need to rehash it.

Zormite is a melting pot of humans that over time integrated into Zormite culture. They were at peace with each other and there would be no reason for 2k1 zormites to attack. Besides, 2k1 is totally dead/inactive...so maybe a plague or something swept that whole land, or maybe a moon of bomies fell on it.

First, if Samurai was a vassal of the Zormites, there is the answer to your question: as you learned first hand, you can't make other nations vassals and expect them not to try and take you down first chance they get. During most of the time after you left GK, Samurai was pretty much considered a barbarian horde, a waste land without culture. It was the easiest way to explain the total lack of government or discipline.
Dustari and Zormite forged its alliance most strongly during the time that you yourself were attacking us both. Nothing like a common enemy to make good allies. You were a larger threat to either nation than either of us could be to each other. But I believe, under Charles' reign, we actually had some good relations with Zormite. But think for a moment - why are we allies with half the nations in the world today in real life? We were at war with Spain, with Germany, with Japan, with the British. You can hardly say that it is some sort of stretch for Zormite and Dustari to be allies. You yourself fault Samurai for breaking its alliance with you - when you forced that alliance on them...by means of war. You are really grasping at straws here, its insane to say that any two nations in GK can not ally no matter how many years pass. It has no room for the RP developments that have occured over that time.

Can you quote them? I rarely see any relevance in any of his posts, they tend to be kind of nonsensical. If you want me to address something print it.

So, 1) please come up with a better way than forcing a player to drop their entire character when joining 'your' version of zormite and coming up with a whole new personality.
2) Reread my points regarding the 'band analogy' and tell me how you can still consider nappa having any say in the direction of zormite.
3) Reread the very old posts where this issue was long ago settled, and when you are done, try to come back and be helpful and aid RPing in GK instead of hindering it.
