This is not a role play server and this will never be one. MCA has always been about building and community. Not about Lenor or all the other 'countries'. Also, arguments are the least of this whole country business. I'm going to state a fact that I have seen, please do not get angry.
I think the arguments are revolved around one peticular point. Lenor. Luke, please don't be angry. You have to think of it from all sides.
This is your perspective. When you joined, you and many others were in the 1st pve town made by kking. I think what you saw was people having fun. Which is true. I'm very sure that people had a great emmence of fun. Then it got grieved and that might of made a lot of people disappointed. So you wanted to start a town and make it not greifable. That is a great idea. Lots of people make towns, it's hard work and it's fun aswell

.
This is where things get bad. Lenor became an empire. Role playing started here, and that got very bad. I'll explain why in a second but I also want to point out that lenor is where you could put the new members, which is very kind. But also bad.
Why? New members are meant to claim land, build on that land and enjoy what MCA has to offer. When you ask them to come over to your land, you make it so easy for them to just build that they couldn't turn down the offer. You got people, and they got a place to build. It was a win-win situation. You might think of it as letting people build. But maybe some other people might think of it as a hinderance to new members.
Also another point. New members going to build, knowing nothing about minecraftaddicts website. They might also skip the rules. Which is very bad. Lenor has had many griefings, you may say it's not a lot. But usually a land claim has maybe one griefing and then the owner learns. But with Lenor, it is different. I want to point something out. The people who monitor the griefings in lenor are the staff. Yes it is their job to help, but it can get out of hand. Staff have projects to. Do you that they have to ban, and make a report every time you spot a grief. You may not have considered this. Maybe there can be someway of fixing this issue. We'll have to see.
Next point. Role playing. I don't know for sure, but I think MCA members don't like role playing. It's just not our thing I guess. It makes me angry when you say that lenor has almost taken over arid. I want to tell you something Luke. You may know this already. You do not own arid, you own a section given to you by staff. They can take away your perms to build as fast as they gave it to you. This may not be a valid point but this is what I think.
So, I hope this opened your eyes. I did not want to hurt your feelings. Your ideas are fantastic. If you stay long, I would love to see some FMBs from you. You are intelligent, funny, and skilled at building. I wish I had awesome building skills like you. But, you can't just post some thing that is irrelevant. You could be asking why the arguments are happening, what can we do to stop it. Just saying luke, do you really think a building will stop an argument. I do not.
We should come up with suggestions, tips for you, Luke that may help stop the arguments. There are things that make us angry that you do, and a lot of things that make you angry that we do. It's human.
Anyways I hope this argument settles down. Thank you for addressing this issue Luke again I did not want to puncture any feelings. These were my thoughts and there is some fact to them. Please feel free to pick at this reasoning. I'd love to hear what you have to say and I could try and help you get through it. We are a community and as tankxsy said it a "little family :3"
