Let me start: I at no point was asking people to take sides. I simply felt like everybody was staying quiet, and it was making me feel like I was being disruptive when I was trying to do the opposite -- admittedly without Methu just groveling for something he didn't do. I am not trying to get anybody to leave the game, nor am I interested in PvP in a game where the intent is to work together.<br/><br/>What started this whole thing was Methu commenting, albeit snarkily, because Atroxia brought their minions along. Jerion took it personal, and escalated it. I tried to end the discussion by having Methu just not engage and entirely ignore, even giving Atroxia the last word. Atroxia has continued to insult him and poke at him. Even before, Atroxia/Jerion did<em>not</em>apologize in any serious way, and I have not felt you have done anything to smooth things over.<br/><br/><em>Even still</em>, Methu is not even asking Atroxia to leave or for people to choose sides -- He's simply saying "stop fucking antagonizing me". If Atroxia is so unable to make peace that Atroxia HAS to branch off and force people to take sides -- than that's on you. I have, frankly, gone above and beyond, and even acted out of character, in order to make this work -- to smooth this over. I haven't been avoiding PvP because 'there is no chance Methu can win' -- it's because that's antithetical to the game. I've even tried to prevent keeping you from the concept of Atroxia always being surrounded by their Court (it is well within his power to give mental commands and make each of the Atroxia's followers wait outside).<em>I've</em>been rather upset about this on an OOC level, to the point where I almost said something -- but instead just tried to give Atroxia the last word and let it pass by us.<br/><br/>As for how I see us getting past this -- Methu hasn't asked Atroxia to DO anything except stop antagonizing him. He's not asking Atroxia to grovel or apologize or submit to some punishment --<em>just stop antagonizing him and this will blow over.</em>This can be over IC and OOC rather easily. We will be antagonistic in the future, but hopefully we can keep it as playful jabs and comments -- as long as it's between<em>Lords</em>. If we aren't comfortable with those playful jabs -- we can just try to steer clear of each other IC as long as we work together.
