Clown... I do not believe your character is overpowered. As I said, he could effectively transition over without any changes whatsoever. It is not that which has caused me to say such things. It is your aggression and distaste you pour out upon the rest of the community for wanting such a thing. I suggested this in an attempt to keep the community together, because if but a few of us remain, then it is meaningless to me. For me, on my side of the arguement, the Game was always a fight for the benefit of others. I do not wish you to feel you must leave, Jester. It is that you have caused strife and indecision in the community to a point at which many of us thought the most viable option was to have it all destroyed, rather than have the fight that may have resulted from attempting to keep the peace. I offer you my hand in friendship, and in compromise, but I cannot offer it as a symbol of my acceptance and deference to the old ways. A problem had arisen, and even I could see no way that it could be resolved, this time. I have continuously always been on your side with regards to this arguement before, but there are limits to my great patience, as well. You must understand that there is a time when one must stand down, when one's arguement serves no purpose anymore save for it to be had. Yours is a great character, and I admire that you are so willing to allow things that few would allow, for him, but I could not allow a single person to break the ties that bound us. Should more people have wished the same: to remain in the current continuity, where we might be as we might be, I would be more apt to support its continue... But I must ask you to let this one go, just as I have. It hurts me to lose all we have done, but to lose the people that have done them, and who have become my friends, during this time I have spent with them- that would be the far more grievous wound, Clown. There is yet time to begin anew. Do not pain me more, my friend, by leaving. Yours would be a terrible toss to the community, and one I would not have it bear, nor would I want myself to. Do you think I care more about some imaginary city, with its imaginary people, or you, one of the most brilliant and colorful of all the gems that line this sand box of ours? Without you, it would seem a much more empty place. Even with the constant threats and displeasures you put me through, I would not see this come to pass, Clown. To lose you would be to lose a great deal of all the entertainment and creativity that has actually made this place great. You are right in saying that you played a huge role in the shaping and formation of this community. I ask you to raise it back up with me again. I type this with my eyes weary and pained from the sadness that welled up inside me earlier this day, and with a mind and heart like an old man, in this child's body of mine. Old... and tired. Tired of all the squabbling, and wishing for what was once great in our circle. Nostalgiac for what it has been. I cannot force you to stay, but I would ask you to consider it, and to understand my point of view, and that of the others here. We do not wish to ruin what was, but to look to the future with hope. Think of me what you will. Think of us all as you might; But understand us, and know that I did not want you to leave.
