I know I am not always right, and I never claimed to be always right. And my only point in the overthrows was that both people believed it was something they needed to do, so in their minds what they were doing was not being a traitor. However, any time someone unsuccessfully attempts to overthrow someone, it is looked at as being a traitor. Had either of the two been successful, they would have been looked upon as 'heroes'

As for pruning bad branches...I prefer to look upon it a different way. If I had taken that approach, I would have believed Kyden to be a bad branch, or a threat to myself. However, what I'm looking for is not power...instead, it is the ability to do what I believe needs to be done to keep forest going and rebuild it. It can NOT be said that Forest was not in a state of decay before I held the throne. Forest was virtually dead when chris gave it to Gryffon, and besides a few stories, some rank changing, and the beginning of a story that I am going to continue...not a whole lot really WAS done before I got it. Maybe had you had more time, you could have obtained the goal you were trying for, I don't know, and I'm not trying to discredit what you did at all, but just know that I am here for the betterment of the Forest...Nothing else.

I'm not saying either one had any good reasons or bad reasons or whatever, I'm not even reading into the specific situations very much, I was only trying to demonstrate that
