The thread went off tangent Dorg, because , as stated previously, it seems to be at the Core of the Disputes and Greviances section as a whole. As was stated most people are caught up over their disputes having to due with their Soul Strand losage. Now I've tried to stay out of this conversation because its simply not a discussion I want to get caught up in. The system's fine the way it is and if characters have godda die then they godda die (If Rhynn died Id go into hardcore mourning but still).

I just want to state that most of the people seem to have the Soul strand issue in mind, so maybe that means Dorg, that its not the way disputes are handled, but this particular portion of the whole in general that has people in a sort of dispute in and of itself. Perhaps in order to fully understand all sides of the situation , the thread should be allowed to go into that tangent, or a new thread should be made, seeing as the soul strand issue seems to touch closer to the problem's core than the Dispute system itself (Now I've read through this forum but have not replied)...

Thats all I really want to say, I don't want to make any more assumptions or opinions about this one way or another, though I do agree what what's being done for us is of the goodness of L and the GMs and we need to think before we put more burdens on them. Im not accusing anyone or saying Im not guilty of giving someone a hard time now and again, just saying...

ok, back on track, RIGHT!

I like the disputes and greiviences, for the most part except the one thats been mentioned. Loss due to dropping, etc. etc. is good. VERY good.

its just the ONE thing...

Having worn the hats of player, creator, and community leader on other games I can't think of a better system than this. Clear rules / guidelines and open submissions. Public approvals / denials so all are aware and nothing is behind closed doors. What more can a player want?

yep this is how it is. But there is still room for debate in the system such as lag vs exceptional lag. So there will be posts that may be seen by some as "hey you did not read the rules" and to others as "hey it fits as a disputable event".
