Yes, another source of strife is the last thing we need, so I agree with you in disagreeing with Eric's suggestion, serious or otherwise as his intent may be.
I would prefer a way of appeasing both, but still tend toward the Ame preference. As Kage so aptly demonstrated, it has been waiting a long, long time for this. The current fad of Red-headed infinite chakra pool accounts is secondary in my opinion as to the physical land boards of the realm and how it should fit in to the over all geography of places that require a large public posting arena. So many places about Ame would then be opened for rp that are not subject to the police force of the village boundaries, as is the case in the clan halls.
Well it is a shame then Ace, that 2 of Ame's more vocal posters were driven away from SL due to their inability to behave while addressing conflicts in rp with Uzushiogakure members. I myself left the clan due to my lack of desire to be forced into yet another war mongering rp scenario.
