Yes, but out of those 100, not more than 30 ever stuck around more than for the intro.

I that 11 years as Wren the druid novice, EVERY SINGLE INTERVIEWER I found was buy, or leaving, or otherwise not able to. *mutter*

True. Meh, the two years in a row when we passed 1 person is why I quit Being an EIA, I felt like I was just wasting time, teaching novices that were just going to be kicked out or vanish.

Everyone forgets the sylvans. they were cool till they kicked me out (hehe i was a complete newbie and got into a fight out of the arena) that made me resent them cause i had a cool grove with trans groves and elementalism, erg i would have been happy to be locked in a room for the 2 year (or so) as punishment, then when they wanted me to go through a full novicehood again (because they couldn't get their act together) which added another year till i could grove again(i always lost my nice quarterstaff) so i left and came here.

Sounds sort of like the interview I had back when I'd first started playing achaea, was going through the whole long thing and the interviewer himself thought I was doing great, then a slightly more senior person in the guild came and said he was going to take over. Kept answering questions untill got to one about coming upon a hunter about to kill a pregnant deer, where I'd answered that I would try to talk to him, convince him to find another deer or animal, to even help them if need be, but if push came to shove would protect the deer, since my char viewed life as sacred especially such as that case, and the they outguilded him and told him to try the sentinels as he's too agressive, just for that answer to that question.

But anyhow, sorry all

Aye, that's because the Druids -weren't- about protecting the animals and if you were willing to kill the hunter to protect the deer, you -would- have been better off with the Sentinels, and would have likely run into trouble with the Druids later on. The point of the interview wasn't to give a bunch of meanies a chance to stomp on clueless novices, but to make sure nobody we let into the apprentice stage would later on find out it really wasn't their place and they were better off elsewhere.

We did that mainly because we -knew- we were asking a lot from those we trained, amongst others because we had so awfully many novices that there was no way to train them all in a fashion that would've been fair considering the workload we put them through.



What are we still arguing about? Jairdan ranted about the horrible Hartstone with their forced essay, a few posts later it was clear that there were no forced essays... end of story?

I love the misconception Druids have of Sentinels. Sentinels couldn't care less if you killed the deer or not. It wasn't their job to deal with some hunter.

Druids are a bunch of candy @$$es in Achaea. They, just didn't like anything that might make you look like you were involved in anything. "We can't do that it would be picking a side! We are not about picking sides!" About the only useful thing I saw from Druids was grove rezzing, and pissing everyone off with forestbinding. Hell even to get Conor to agree to a Forestal united stance on enemies was a chore, because Druids sit on the fence.

You forgot the grove orgies. They were the main plus, I believe.

Yea. Now everyone knows why Erion was in Dannath's grove so often.

God it was wonderful being Chammy's baby, wasn't it, Bauby?

We're not arguing about anything at all. We realized that Jairdan was just being his usual annoying self, discounted the lies spawned of an uninformed opinion which he spouted, and tangented into more interesting topics.

*grin* and people wonder why I left for Glomdoring!

This is a joke... right.... please?

Anyone?

Poor Kidaen, so naive. I got outguilded from the Warlocks for putting my order of loyalties as the Divine, Guild, City, considering there was a God standing there at the time. Not nearly as bad as Tsakar's, though.

I got outed of the Arcanists for city > guild

We always had confusion with people wanting to put guild > nature.

But loyalty to Cyrene is indeed misplaced. It's a sign of mental instability and a precursor of chronic masochism.

I don't think that was their motivation somehow, but I suppose they did do me a favour to an extent. (As I found out on a Mojushai later.)

I was outguilded from the druids for saying I'd try to help a rabbit get away from a wolf if I saw one being chased through my grove.

Good times.

It's not, it really happened, along with many others like what Ceres said. If this was an achaea forum (or looked on theirs) could probably have a 8+ page post on similar stories from druid interviews

And people play this game?
