Lets take your idea that you are the head of PF the business. Some of your workers are going out and causing problems. How does it sound when you, the head of your business, says "My workers aren't my responcibility, they do what they want"? Or better yet, as a business you have been working with

I really do own Pf as a busiuness filed in the state of Michigan with a few workers. That is my complaint here, don't polute the issue. I have owned several businesses, this is just one. We offer a variety of real world fan based products for a few different games. I am not talking "as if" it were a business, it is a business. I lord over my employees, always have, I am not a nice guy to work for, but these are guildmates, not employees and they have the right to choose to play as they will. Reality vs. Fantasy.
The game is fantasy, but not necessarily role playing. (as some of you assert) Is asteroids RP? I don't really own a space ship that blows up bits of rock coming at me. To call that RP is a bit of a stretch. SoR can be played without RP. RP is a valid option, but non-RP is too.
Zumwalt has expressly posted the intent of the guild, we are Karavan biased for purposes of doing missions etc. We do not (as a whole) RP Kami hatred. That is not what we are about. You want to hate us fine. We are here to play the game, not hate. Most of us get enough of that in real, maybe you should get out more, there is enough hate to go around. We accept that there will be consequences from being Karavan biased, we have never been able to use Kami respawns. That is game dynamics. There is a difference between game dynamics and RP. We all function by game dynamics. The programming code is the "laws" of the made up world of Atys. In the real world we can't fly or cast spells, in Atys we have other conditions. One of those is faction fame. PF has a negative faction fame with the Kami. We understand that as a game condition. Could we work hard to change this, of course, but we will not. If we did, we would only loose Karavan fame until that became a problem instead. As has been said before, no one, no guild is neutral. We say neutral to mean "we are open to all races and tolerant to all players".
I honestly don't see how to make this any more clear. You have made the descion to hate us, fine. That is a choice you have made. You want to RP that fine. Don't expect me to play along with you. There are some who love this style, and would really enjoy doing this with you, why do you persist in trying to get those of us who don't want to RP to play along?
