I thank you for your honesty Tseng, and your good judgement!
While I would still like to believe that it would be worth the try, and that maybe at the expense of "at least knowing you tried". What I don't want to do,

1) Pretend that I speak for all the females playing. Although after reading through the post, it's what I might have done. I think if a new kingdom run by females were even a possibility, more people especially females need to speak up on their willingness to endure what might come as a result.

2) I think that other kingdom leaders who would support the idea, would make a commitment to also support it's growth from a new formed kingdom to a thriving community. And that could just include enforcing kingdom rules about "abusive behavior" towards female player as a means for removal.

But maybe this whole idea turns out to absolutely be out of the question. But for me at least. It's brought up some good comments. And I know from reading your responses Tseng, I've definately developed a new respect and admiration for you as a person!

I'd also like to sincerely appologize to Zen who, through one of my comments, has now been the subject of some of these replies. I again will say that I have the upmost respect for Zen, and am grateful to him for at least allowing me as his Queen to have some rights in the kingdom. He has never been an issue with me. And I'm sorry that some people may have concluded that I hold bitterness against him. This was never my intention.

I think it might be fair to say that one of the problems with chats and forums is that.... its easy to misunderstand someones comments. It's said that that 60% of all communication between people is based on body language, 30% on speech tone, and only 10 % on the actual words. Since you cant see my body language or hear the tone of my voice, it could be easy to take an innocent remark and assume that it was meant in a negative way.
