(( It seems that a huge issue of these selfish desires and separations are the clans and peoples' desire for position of Power. Could also be the OOC immaturity of players that don't realize that elitism and these random cliques that are not welcoming of new dwarves/players and/or helping to improve the city for the better FOR ALL PEOPLE[not just their clans or select buddies]. These people that only worry about amassing chests of iron/gold/diamond/ and other stuff that just sit there while they run about gloating of how rich they are, THOSE are the people that should NEVER get positions of authority, they have no interest in helping the city nor ensuring that everyone has fun. I believe in a system that you should get as much as you realistically need, and any excess should be distributed or given to the kingdom in case of war or some other event[For free or not for free. People will inevitably amass minas which may or may not be a problem depends on whom you ask.] For those who don't realize it, with great power comes great responsibility. And in a game, especially one of this sort where you CAN'T WIN IT, the way in which you are assesed to have been a successful leader is if those to whom you are in charge of are having fun. People may be poor, have no position in government, have no job, but if they are having fun, then you are doing something right. Stop trying to be heroes, play your part in the community and hopefully as many people as possible will have fun. /endrant))
