I tried to get it across to folks in Sandalak early that this is not a Dwilight-like RP island, but folks were already caught up in all the ideas they had brought with them, I think.
Dwilight is where the gamers have to step-aside, War Islands are where the RPers have to step aside. Forcing your heavy RP on a strategy island to the point where it is interfering with the game is unfair to the players who came there for warring.
