I am in total harmony with the logic of thelenian.

It is a common error of admin to get involved in all aspects of a game. In many cases the admin look at their game more as a zoo rather than a living entity that can and usually does outgrow their singularity. In short there comes a point when the world they create obtains its own life and they must have enough foresight to realize this will occur and enough perception to know when that moment does occur.

Now many will say release of the reins will send the chariot racing off the track, however, with a well set up story, and a stable group of players, all things eventually work themselves out. There are always these steps:

- the blood wars (when PK is at its peak)
- the will of the strong (when bullies rule)
- the awakening (when the weak rally)
- the reckoning (when the weak learn to fight)
- the calm (when all resort to a more docile life)
- the rainbow (a time of glorious roleplay)

Then it rinses and repeats usually. However, the process is awesomely accurate and beautiful to watch.
