I was not ever going to do this, I was not ever going to make these statements. Since the majority of what I have, felt, thought, or wanted to say has been expressed recently, I might as well share.

I want start by touching on what Bond said about "RPing FAKE character's". I have been saying this to myself when I feel slighted by the wiki, because I think each and every user feels that way sometimes. Listen to me please; This place is imaginary. ... Please. Give that some time to sink in.  THIS PLACE IS IMAGINARY . I understand that we choose to invest a lot in this wiki, from personal time, literally feelings, to genuine emotions which makes this world feel more real than it actually is. We contribute, and in doing so we are collaborating with one another, even in a detached way, channeling our creative efforts into what I believe is a wonderful would that has been created for all of us. Nevertheless. NOTHING that is said or done here should be taken away from it if it hurts or harms you, or anyone else, in any way. I feel that a lot of people are concerning themselves with things happening in/on chat. If you do not like what is happening in chat, and you are not held responsible as a chat moderator to moderate it, close it.

Speaking as someone who is, for the most part, on the outside looking in. There has been nothing but clique behavior on this wiki from the day I joined. Now, please understand I am not saying that to make something negative into a bigger issue than it needs to be, nor am I saying it to make those who read those words get riled, stand up, and say "Fight me", I am telling it like it is.

We as a whole, a as a group, as the DARP community, we all do it. RPing with our "friends", or the people we feel comfortable with is what we do here, most of us do it daily. These are the people who understand the nuances that make you unique, and make your characters different from the one that follows it when you hit the random button. Does that mean those who stay confined to their particular group (or gang as I call it) are ostracizing others? If your answer is yes, then we are defiantly all guilty of making mistakes.
