Well, I find it most unfortunate that this conflict has to be drawn out to such an extent.
A lot of this unpleasantness could have been avoided if the parties involved had greater understanding of the cultural differences between players and were more sensitive and tolerant of each other.
Wendy, there's one point that I'd like to clear up. iki-ryo truely is no more familiar with Treasurer, Ameche or Stuart than she is with you. They're as new to her as you are. Which means that their complains mean just as much to us as yours do.
Now, I persuaded iki to return to IRC partially to deal with this Wendy/Anti-Wendy conflict that was constantly ravaging the channel. I felt that she would provide a gentler and more insightful touch towards moderation in #simcountry and she has accomplished that. She has gone above the call of duty to patiently listen to the point of views of both sides.
I myself would probably not have the same amount of patience and time to squander on mollifying both sides and making sure you guys play nice.
What i find to be most regretful, Wendy, is your decision to bring your issues with the moderation into the game.
While i have faith in the integrity of my IRC moderators, such situations nevertheless do create possibilities for conflicts of interests to arise.
We do recognise your right to do so of course, in the same way that we believe there is nothing inherently wrong with irate, disgruntled players deciding (or attempting) to war the game administrators, as has happened in the past.
However, I do have to suggest that instead of fielding an additional and unnecessary in-game enemy, you could escalate your complain to higher levels, perhaps to me (with regard to IRC). There's always a chance that we can resolve your issues in a reasonable, satisfiable manner.
