As I have said before, and will say again, I am a hominist. And yet I went in to the Karavan temple and pledged to build it. I went into the ancient lands and healed Karavanist fighters and diggers all night long. I fought against kinchers and Kamist raiders that attacked the Karavanists. I chased the Kamists to their camp dozens of times. I gathered much honour in the Karavan's hidden eyes, by healing my teammates. ***OUCHH*** Put down that splinter shell!

Some of you say that I am no hominist now, but I say that I am a TRUE hominist! We homins live here on the sufferance of the greater powers. We are weak pathetic creatures compared to the Kami and the Karavan. We likely could not survive long without their help ... their spawning and their teleporters. And yet our ancestors knew more. They had more technology and more power. Jena's temples promise bring back that knowledge that is our birthright. They say that they will give us additional powers. We need these gifts. I am helping to build these temples to build a better future for hominkind. I bear the Kamists no ill will. Let them build their temples too. But we will only be secure when we have the full lore and abilities of the Karavan and the Kami. So if I must gain do Jena's bidding and fight in the ancient lands, I will do so, as a true hominist.

I'm sorry but that sounds too much like ends justifying the means.

I have no problem with hominists helping to build temples, but I disagree with inflicting damage (or killing) other homins for the sake of a greater goal.

I will freely give heals or rez anyone who asks of it if it is within my capabilties. I regret that the gods' choice has been to limit these capabilities to roughly half the homin population when in certain areas of Atys.

I damaged no homins myself, but I did rezzed many fighters and diggers. As far as I know, all homins teleported to the ancient lands were rezzed or spawned up by the Kamis or the Karavan. So no lastly damage was done to them. I believe the temples must be built, so this hominist will do his part.

My personal opinion towards Riveit sayings.
Riveit in my humple opinion have a lot of fun, enjoy the way u play as much as possible, even if u are hominist or kara or kami. Lets see this event of constructing temples as a nice break from our ordinary days in Atys and dont let other people sayings get to u, i used to do that and only sadness brought to my heart. You are a good person and lets both get all kami and karavan goodies in a proper manner Have fun both Riveit and all of u in this nice event. You all try hard anyway u can and thats commendable

LOL. Don't get me wrong.
I still respect Riveit's perspective, and consider it miles above other views I have seen.

However, while "no lasting harm" is ever done between homins, this attitude can sometimes be extended too far. Small attacks from one side, can lead to larger attacks from the other, which in turn can escalate into full-blown warfare, which then impedes the progress of the true tasks at hand.

My own view is to passively absorb the "no lasting harm" myself, and later return to continue what I was doing. If I encounter repeated harm at that location, I then move on to somewhere else.

I still respect the rights of others to live their lives as they choose; I just hope that it does not impede too much on my life and the lives of others.
