I've received multiple PM's from multiple people explaining some things to me because they felt I should be in the loop, at least a little. For the sake of not continuing this drama, I won't share too much. But I've been told that there is sort of a clan war going on right now behind the scenes and there has been for some time. The people involved will know what I'm talking about, and I for one hope we can all just come together and settle things.
I highly doubt this "clan war" is at the level you suspect it to be. Communities tend to have users like some of their peers, and dislike others, but that doesn't mean we're in some kind of Game of Thrones situation. Don't get me wrong, I think that'd be kind of cool, but I just don't see how we're experiencing Fallout-level societal collapse just because the admins can't spend every hour of every day here.

Besides, if there really is serious division in this community, then how does your behavior (which, with all due respect, borders on flame bait) do anything to mend the fault lines? And how does that factor into this perceived third party drama, when appointing the godfather of Clan A would do nothing but rouse the anger of Clan B?

Whatever tension there is in this community, we can do better than self-defeating rage. Varrok's Discord has served as an excellent way for users to converse and share their thoughts with the accessibility of threads and the fluidity of private messages. I feel like that is a good start.

Edit: By the way, what reason is there for me not to recieve similar PMs? If you recieved PMs of that nature just for being new here, why not just give rundowns to every new user here? Something doesn't add up.
