I'll be honest Kate and well this is my  view of all these conflicts. These are the conflicts (MY Thoughts. NOT necessarily true) Forgive me if I state something that's not true. I'm putting this ALL in my perspective. I'm telling it like I see it and it's not that pretty.

1. Everyone vs LunarWing. it's not just me. Its Mudd, ZombieW, SPX300, Logs, BlueChoco in a way,Clop in a way, Beefy in a way, and a good deal amount of people in the CA community. Lunar is basically a magnet for controversy because of his unbending pride and his consitent belief that he's right. Basically what Lunar SHOULD do is just edit stubs. All he has to do is keep pressing random page and edit there. However he instead consistently loves to edit other people's work immediatly after they make an edit. Granted that's ok and encouraged, but he does it so often that it often gets on people's nerves for good reason. (Sometimes his edits are good, sometimes they aren't and than people fight) Lunar has been a huge problem on this wiki sparking more controversy than Epax and Dynasty combined. HOWEVER recently he has sort of been mellowing out. I sincerely hope this continues.

2. Me vs Clop vs lunar vs others.. I suppose I should address this controversy as well. Lunar and I consistently have the most prominent edit wars. Thats easy. Clop thinks I'm power hungry for banning anons. (Well when Zero did its A OK now..... If you truly believe this than TELL HIM) I have no ill will towards clop but am a bit resentful as I look at his edits..... Nothing on editing articles just treating this as a forum... Other people also see me as powerhungry and provactive which I suppose is true. However besides Lunar usually I'm pretty easy to communitcate with. While i was mod, my actions were held accountable for ALL to see. Unlike other mods I made the community very aware of my actions and even though you might not like it, guess what I MADE IT ACCOUNTABLE. I left a clear trail for people to comment on and the situations were resolved by the higher ups. Oh well I suppose.

3. Community vs ZeroExalted. Why do we have controversy.... CUZ ZERO REMOVED ALL THE MODS... I supported Zero and  I still do. However let's get this out of the way. He's NOT ACTIVE ENOUGH. There are plenty of users who he could have passed the baton of bearacrat too. However he chose not too which leads to problems like this. Admins are SUPPOSED to resolve conflicts... Thats the point of admins. Zero has made sweeping changes (some of which are illegal) and every controversy I see makes me want to do something. Yet Zero was so inactive compared to the regular users that this just lead to.regular in fighting as we see fight after fight with the principal just in his room. What Zero needs to do is

A. Be more active or Pass the baton (bureaucrat powers) to someone else. Number 4 only occurred because of you being so inactive. Dyn was right in that its circular reasoning. People don't tell you stuff because you're inactive and you're inactive because people don't tell you stuff. One of these can be fixed easily

B. Re-Appoint mods. Controversy is happening because of this. The only problems with mods that I saw were Topsy and Dyn. (also me and mudd I suppose) Everyone else (minus say Carmaste or ily) was fine

C. Give power back to the community/Take a stand on issues. Zero needs to outline clear rules instead of allowing us to interpret them. You want to ban anons for infinte because they can just make an account (my reasoning.. >.>) Fine. Make it policy.

4. Everyone vs Topsy This I almost cried..... The Steam group incident was basically a nail in the coffin after this I'm almost certain if a propostion was made to remove his mod status, it would be passed.Topsy went from being a great editor to the de facto leader. With Zero so inactive Topsy was able to do plenty of things, some the community liked, some they didn't. (April fools.... Just no plz.) I think Topsy should just be a regular user due to him almost NEVER being on chat and his past mistakes (I'll be a hypocrite and say his sins are worse than mine. The problem is most of the community is afraid of passing propositions. LOOK at Dyn... HOW LONG was he here for as chat mod. He cursed and disrespected users while no one else did JACK SQUAT. I can at least be proud in the fact that I was able to take a stand while everyone else just cowered. Topsy basically at this point is afraid of making new changes due to the huge backlash the steamgroup incident produced. As a regular editor he will have the chance to redeem himself.

In summary the above are the main controverys that I see. What needs to be done is

A. Zero should reappoint mods or be extremely active (latter seems unlikely)/ give up the position to someone else. (Maybe idk blue choco or blue august. We need more admins at the very least) I would suggest a honest propostion to see who wants Zero to remain as bureaucrat and who doesn't.

B. Topsy needs to be removed as mod ASAP. Clearly Blue August is more fit to be mod than him.... If not some of the old guard.

Those are my thoughts
