Some of these people who say such things have either: Been in KJ and been kicked out because of their horrible behavior (Scamming/stealing/disrespect/ etc) or they have been persuaded by others to believe so.
You know we have kicked all scammers and all and we still get harrassed and insulted.
Then there's the whole "KJ doesn't rp" .. which is completely stupid because Dustari and Zormite believe PKing is RPing. Let me tell you.. it's not. If you want to see real RPing go to Valikorlia, stay there for the whole day and you will see what GK needs and has been missing for a long time.
I can go on and on about this but then no one would read it because it's so long. I wish people would change but I suppose they won't because they are stubborn and wish to think they are the best.

The "newbie" assumption is based largely on the fact that KJ has no real requirement to join, just about any random, no skills, no morals, no logic, no ethics, no common sense player can get into KJ. Basically all the rejects of the other more strict kingdoms flock to KJ, therefor creating that image. It probably also stems from the fact that they do indeed sometimes try to RP, but considering "Japanese" is a hard thing to RP in a world where japan doesn't exist, it simply makes them look stupid. Therefor, stupid = newbie, once again, a possible basis for the stereotype.

I am quite the role player, and I have tried role playing a japanese persona, it's not an easy task, especially if you are trying to keep it legit and you don't know japanese.

Japanese customs are not too different from the customs of the rest of the world
Even then, KJ is NOT Japan
Much like Dustari is not France and Zormite is not Atlantis
Our customs shouldn't be expected to be the customs of Japan
Role Playing should be quite simple taking that into consideration
I've done a lot of crazy doctor routines using leeches instead of valid medicine
Who's to say that leeches aren't used in KJ?
Role Playing spawns from imagination

Uh it's quite the opposite of that Our rejects go to Dustari or Zormite. Not the other way around. Like I said we aren't stuck up. We help the new players and don't put them down like others do. And the "no skills no morals no logic" thing.. like I said we have kicked those who are disrespectful/
scammers/theives.

Another thing.. it's not hard to rp a oriental nation.. I have expierence since I am in KJ and on Valikorlia I have a oriental character. You don't need to know "japanese" x.x maybe a few oriental type words like Konichiwa or Syonara ((sp?)). Also.. who said we are "Japan".. We are an Oriental nation not specifically "Japan". Are we not allowed to base our culture from a IRL culture and country(s)? It's like saying we cannot play humans because this isn't real life and humans don't exist.

Another thing you quit GK so why are you still meddling in GK business?

Samurai are Japanese, right? So, a kingdom named 'Samurai' therefore must be Japanese too. How unexpected!

Guess what, Kurenai Joukai is "Crimson Heaven" in japanese, all your ranks are japanese, it's based entirely on japanese culture because obviously you have no creative abilities whatsoever to come up with your own for role playing purposes.

As far as meddling in GK business even when I don't play GK, I do it because I can, and because I don't need to play a game to be actively involved in the community. That has never been a requirement, just because I quit doesn't mean I must absolutely leave and never communicate with graal players again.

As far as Draxx's Havoks, you obviously never talked to Draxx, I was borrowing them, he knew I was, there was never question of wether I was keeping them or not, I told him I would return them and I did, as promised. Clear your ignorance up with Draxx, you obviously know nothing and beyond what I've already said, I shouldn't have to explain it.

For the record most of KJ's recruits are new players and they are required to have skill, otherwise without skill they would never be able to reach level 8. And all who enter the kingdom have to take a solemn vow never to steal/scam on or off tag. The image of the aforementioned is created due to name calling and once something is said enough times some people start believing it. I would also like to point out that it is KJ's rejects who have been added to the so called stricter kingdoms, including the two that were banned for abusing rights and removing me from the kingdom gui.
And as for morals Raelyn, you are one to talk you stole draxx's Havoks and would not return and caused mayhem that one night. Even CP removed you due to your behavior.
