I spoke with Edwin about what his plans for Dustari were prior to taking the Dictatorship. I spoke at lengths with him about what he planned militarily, as well as his ideas for the furthering of good relations between our two nations. He simply stated nothing. He places full trust of his own kingdom in his officers, and has no say as to how it is run. I for one cannot place my trust, or the kingdom's for that matter, in somone who cannot even make a descision for his own kingdom. He believes his general will do all the thinking and strategizing for him.

Look on Dustari's Blacklist and tell me if you see Zurkiba anywhere. (Really... I can do a "Find on this page" and get nothing.)

By the way, talking over PMs isn't freakin in character. If you continue this war, you will make a mockery of your entire kingdom's RP ability. What I shared with you were my thoughts at the moment. Thoughts... OOC thoughts. Important decisions are forged with deep thought and time. And about my rule, when I give positions and titles to people, I actually HAVE them do their job. I don't hire people into high titles just to have them sit on their ass and do nothing.

Obviously he has meticulously planned out some sort of strategy, and from what I can figure, it is that Dustari is not the kingdom we once knew anymore. When I took leadership, I had full intention of maintaining good relations with our previous allies, but in light of the self-serving actions of its king, along with the outpour of those members who meant the most to the king, I find no other choice but to declare enemies of the Dustari.

Drk left because he just doesn't like Zurkiba. I can understand that, I just had to move a few jobs here and there. It was inconvinient.

If you had such intentions, why did you turn the blade so quickly... to have my friend tell me that she needs to be readded to Dustari because she needed to leave to defend herself because Zormite suddenly sees Dustari as enemies. Also... I do not value those who left anymore... It shows just how loyal they really were.

Those without food are always hungry. If you haven't noticed, the power left with what I thought were loyalties.

Such disrespect will not be tolerated.

Metagaming, powergaming, and can't tell the difference between thoughts and decisions. And even labels me with steriotypes. You, sir, have brought you and Zormite to a whole new low. I don't believe I have done anything corrupt at the moment. It pisses me off that you were so quick to break something I decided to keep.

And about attacking your Mikogen... What about your members attacking me? I logged on to a flaming ice dagger in the face by one of your members. The Mikogen was on Dustari soil at the time you saw us as enemies and you even appologised about it. I'd post a log but that is breaking forum rules.

Thank you for keeping me up at 3:30am on a school night because it took you THAT freakin long to respond and add a whole lot of irrelevant content.

Whoa.. I did not leave because I "don't like Zurkiba." I've explained this SO many times.. Zurkiba is poison. He's NOTHING but power-hungry. How many times has he tried to take over kingdoms? Not less than 2 hours after we see him as Duke of Dustari, does he PM Alisa Steele of CP and ask her to 'give up CP, because 5 kingdoms cannot exist.' ((I'd post log, but as Ed stated, it is not legal.)) Proof is everywhere, past or present. And you accepted him with open arms, knowing his past, knowing Dustari's look upon him. Knowing he is power-hungry. Knowing the deep poison he would bring. Well, the poison has spread. Do you like what it's becoming, Ed? Nobody else seems to.

So, saying that I left only because I do not like him, couldn't be further from the truth. If I was his best friend in the world, he's still poison.. He's still power-hungry... and he's still out to gain control of kingdoms.

Don't you think this information is important to my decisions? How come no one seems to tell me about stuff like this when it happens?
Edit: nm.. checked some logs and found something in badly formatted text that I didn't see.

Actually I was at a 50/50 until you left. I based a good amount of my decision on his potentials, not his freakin past. The past was all messed up.

What Dustari has become... do not lecture me about what it has become if the guy has only been around for TWO FREAKIN DAYS. The only thing that is happening is all of you guys making things really freakin difficult for me. I already told you guys that if he screwed around, I kick him. But the entire Kingdom of Zormite feels that it is worth waging war over one old guy.

He won't gain control of Dustari, I already told you this.
