Well, it's your game, but to say there is no conflict of interest regardless of whether the power is abused or not, is simply wrong in my opinion. A "conflict of interest" arises simply because the possibility for corruption and abuse of power is there, the only way to stop a conflict of interest is to remove it all together.

And I'm not totally against admins playing the game, but not with 'active' player characters. THat's what NPCs are for. I see roleplay admins as Dungeon Masters, they should be more of an invisible guiding hand then an actual force in character that can kill/maim/order the deaths of people.
