Maybe you're right in the case of the elf. It doesn't work in this case of an RP group though.
A more better example would be like if the Pope wasn't really Catholic. Do you understand now? Everything said or told would be somewhat hypocritical.
The fact is, you can't be a good leader for an RP group if you're not in good favor of RPing (meaning you strongly support RPing and are a good RPer). You can do everything else with the kingdom- but the main point of the kingdom is the RPing.
And I thought I'd take this time to point something out also- events (especially ones with prizes) are not what RPing is all about. Padren has attacked me before on this fact saying how he doesn't see me organize big RP events and never did (though it's not important for him to see it... the fact that I did it is enough). RP events with prizes aren't needed to spread the word of good RPing or be a good RPer. Sure, it's possible to use this method to bribe people to RP. Know what will happen though? The ones who don't really want to RP will stop RPing after the event. That's not good RPing. Ideally, the idea one may have is to attract non-RPers with the items and get them to RP. Then they'll start RPing all the time since they had fun in that event. Yeah right... only in the ideal world. They may be encouraged to join other events with prizes- sure, but that's all.
