Really, it looks like you're arguing that GMs should be able to participate in their own events. What you're saying, though, really isn't making sense. However, if that IS what you're saying, it's not going to happen. We will be enforcing the rule of not participating. If you want to use it so that you can compare this to GMing, remember that YOU are the one who said to stop that. Even though, like I said, you were the first ones to start with that.
Plus, it's different. It is the GMs' JOB to moderate things that go on with/related to the server. Yes, this is your event, and we respect that, however we are saying that no, you may not participate because of probable reprocussions.
