If female players will go to another kingdom if they don't get respect in the one they are in, then male leaders will have to be competitive with offering rights and such to keep them in.

REALLY GOOD POINT!!! And if you think of strategy in game play... two things could happen here.

1) Other Kingdom leaders would have to play a more serious role in enforcing "rules" if they wanted to recruit females who would stay in their kingdoms. Kingdom leaders and their members would have to take a more active role in making their kingdoms a more atractive enviorment for the female player to want to join. or...

2) They can keep things as they are now... at the risk of loosing female players, because now, female players would have another option for a better game playing environment. They can choose to harrass the New Kingdom run by females and risk being an "all male kingdom" But then again that would be of their choosing based on the decisions they make!

Again to summarize, this idea could create an arena to create change in the attitudes and behaviors that are making game play for females less than equal to the game play of males.

I'd like to know what has been happening in your discussions with Zen, because I do respect him, but I must say when I compare your rights to the chancellors, that is very imbalanced.

I really feel that in all fairness to Zen, it should not be something discussed on the forum. As it is now, he has become the subject of some of these replies without being warned, so he could at least respond to what have now become 'accusations" (in a way) While I did tell him that I was thinking about an idea of a kingdom run by females to present to Stefan... I don't think he expected (and what I didn't want to happen) is that there would be an asumption that I posted this idea based on a dissatifaction with "his" rule alone. Zen is only one of many kingdom leaders. And it would be unfair to pin point him out as the "reason" for the imbalance of game play for females. This is why it was a "Mistake " on my part to use one of his discissions as an example. By doing that I unfairly put the focused on Zen... enstead of the whole picture.

I think its a wonderful idea , and it wouldn't have to be based on the old king and queen format. Perhaps a triumvirate of 3 high ranking females

I AGREE!!! When you look at what Zoe, Wren, and the rest of the Sagesun's have created as an "attitude for game play" IT'S INCREDIBLE! And when I think of a kingdom run by females... I think of a kingdom based on the philosophies and attitudes that the Sagesun name represents. I can see the ruling head of the new kingdom being an assemby of three or four female players, each with their different talents and skills to contribute to the rule of the kingdom!
