a couple of things

1) I wish to say this to people who think that some people take this "game" too seriously. What i have to say is a tad ooc, scuse me.
Yes... its a game, and is meant to be fun. Its fun basically cos of RP... we design and act out a character we aren't in RL... for example, Rhenn is a sour and bitter ex-sentinel who hates Sentinels and Hashan and is rather egotistical. Ive spoken with him slightly oocly once, and he's not just a mindless cooperesque machine (sorry coops, no offense). Another example... Israfel is a church zealot whose first goal in Achaea was to convert Sapience to Light by the sword (or by the smite, whichever). He's calmed down a tad now, but I daresay he isnt like that IRL... I'm a loud sentinel with too many opinions.. okay, so I'm a bad example (*grin*).
Point is... yes its a game. Its fun cos we take it seriously. The fact that A2K wasn't a bloodbath IRL means we dont take it TOO seriously - I'm sure if it occured in Achaea it might have ended differently (Sarapis woulda used Divine fire in the paintball, for one thing).
If ya dont want to take it serious, stay out of the larger "conflicts" (church versus evil, for example) cos the majority of participants in those take it serious... and if you dont take it serious... stay off the public board...

2) I wish to say that my bout of insanity has resumed - for some reason I was cured for just long enough to make this post, I'll fade back into anonymity now.
