Conflict Report Summary

Orael

Hey All,

 Below is just a general summary of player comments on the conflict reports. To give you a general idea of what you, the players, are feeling about these items. I tried to note something here if 2 or more players mentioned something (stripped down to the basic sentiment). There were quite a few ideas, explanations, etc that are not reflected here as I was just trying to get the general common themes no each report. You may notice some contradictions - but remember this was just general summaries of player comments, players will often have different opinions so that is why some statements may conflict with each other.
