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.

True; but many of the kingdoms have had bad records in the past about enforcing rules. The problem is, if they don't enforce them, who will? This is the inherent problem with lack of staff - Stefan must deal with this himself.

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!

Well, the idea has its ups and its downs. Thank you for the compliment.

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.

Well, there are other ways of portraying things like that with text. Spelling, capitalization, punctuation, smilies...all can be utilized rather well to communicate more effectively.
