Okay! So we're talking about IC conflict, got it. Yes, I think Koil was trying to create IC conflict. I thought everyone knew that - he said it himself. And, yes, veteran RPers go against other people's decisions and have conflict literally every day.

I don't get this whole "something thats been decided OOC" angle. Are you saying that because the election was decided, ultimately, by OOC, that any conflict arising from it is somehow OOC or dangerous or off-limits? Because that's clearly not the case.

Maybe you're comparing this to, say, the Andrews corruption arc? Not even remotely the same. The Sheriff election isn't being ignored or pretended away, and the outcomes/conflict are all 100% on-board and IC. This isn't something that admins stepped into to clean up.
