Taken from the OP,

[quote]a unique fantasy world[/quote]
[quote]Furthermore, while multiple sentient species will inhabit this world, I would like to stay away from the elf/dwarf/gnome/orc/goblin mainstays of D+D. Players would be encouraged to give the traditional fantasy races a unique twist, or better yet invent their own! [/quote]
I really don't want to add flames to the fire, but I think the miscommunication is that this isn't neccessarily a straight-up medieval roleplay. It's a fantasy world, granted a low-fantasy one at that, but players are encouraged to create their own races and then we will create a history to incorporate them in the world we're creating. 
	In any case, I am sad to see you go! I personally don't share your other feelings about the state of the nations, but I do wish you fun in any other roleplay you end up in!
