mellow.gif <--- Me after reading Aia's guild news post. Yes, lets hump the GA's position. I admit, that's crude, but jeeze.. No, I'm not posting what it's about, but I'm not pleased.

Good grief, has it occurred to you that internal guild business should probably stay in game? Friendly advice: insert filter between stream-of-consciousness and keyboard. Airing out dirty laundry on forums, as entertaining as it is for outsiders, reflects poorly on all parties involved.

A baby is more important than worrying about a guild in a text game...... sad.gif

There were IC reasons people had a problem with Aia getting GM and a guild, though I am not saying she did not deserve it or anything. She's done well thus far it seems, but unless you were there for those specific events or dealings, you really don't know what's going on and why some people feel this way.

And despite my post, I wish her the best on luck, hope she and the baby are okay. Would definitly love to see some pics posted soon of mother and her baby wub.gif

You only need GR3 to read news. And I've heard Verithax talk on IRC abou contesting. So, it wouldn't surprise me if he did.


Oh so Nym and Veri can read it too.

I hope not. Drama isn't fun. I've been wondering why I even came back to the damn game now, but I can't step down because Verithrax would step up and then all hell would break loose and it'd be bad.. sad.gif So it's better if I just stay GA until we can both leave at the same time and someone can actually replace me.

I.... don't know what to feel right now, Ialie, I just don't. I think you just murdered my soul with your song.

Spiritsingers skills are OP sad.gif

I love that song! But I hate when radio stations play the 'edited' version that removes the lines:

What you gon' do with all that ass?
All that ass inside them jeans?
I'ma make, make, make, make you scream
Make you scream, make you scream.

and

What you gon' do wit all that breast?
All that breast inside that shirt?
I'ma make, make, make, make you work
Make you work, work, make you work.

cause those are the funniest lyrics in the song! I mean, the first time I heard it I laughed out loud. "all that breast" laugh.gif

Yeah, GR3 for reading news posts and contesting. Forgot the GR5 thing is a Geo guild rule. Might've run for GM myself had it not been for that and the fact that I don't have enough time as it is, and don't really want the crap that comes from being GM. So instead I tried to get Revan to run, but he was too slow.

No baby yet peoples, although I'm not sure if that needed to be mentioned here either. tongue.gif Ah well.

QUOTE(Verithrax @ Oct 23 2006, 10:45 AM) 345642

You can contest without being GR5. So yeah, if I wanted to leap at her throat and tear out the guild from her, I'd have done it.

The issue here is simply that I don't feel Aia is entitled to special treatment. She needs to be treated like any leader in Lusternia: Stick with her long enough to evaluate her competence as a leader and contest whenever you feel she's not the best person for the position. Obviously I'm not going to be a jerk and contest right now, since that would be downright inappropriate (There are very few GR3 people around, and the people who are basically guarantee that Aia loses, so it's hardly fair.)

Additionally, none of you have been in the guild, and none of you have any idea of the amount of work that Joli and I did compared to what Aia did. We founded the guild as much as she did, in reality, and we're the ones taking care of it along with Nymerya.

Additionally, I was offered the guild champion position (I shit you not), and declined. So yeah, I'm not blindly rushing at any guild spot I can get, even though I would've loved to get a shiny honours line.


I'm not saying that Verithrax and Joli and Nymerya haven't done anything for the guild. I'm sure you've all done a good deal especially with regards to getting things set up and running. And she's been busy doing what GMs do, overseeing it all to make sure everything gets done, making sure it all works together, dealing with the people who are out to cause problems, etc... Heck, she could probably unload all of that off on Joli if she had to, not that she should since it's not fair, but from my point of view, at least I'd get some more time with her then, since she's always running around on guild business when I'm aronud.

No one is saying that Aia should get special treatment as far as being a leader, but it goes the other way as well. If Verithrax is going to be blunt and honest to the point of being rude and making people complain about it, he's going to suffer the consequences of it too.

Yes, but it pisses me off that, in Magnagora, the supposedly bad-arse org, people can't take scathing criticism, let alone corporal punishment. It's like the city suddenly turned into a bunch of pussies, and Murphy never got this kind of crap when he was active, and he was decidedly worse than me.

Murphy was never that active on the political/administrative side of things from what I remember. He's a great combatant, and did a lot of wonderful training for his Dreadlords. And yeah, he was hard on his pupils, but outside of that, he didn't often do much to others, except when they did something like snuggle him, or they were being exceptionally stupid. I guess it's one thing to get that kind of criticism and punishment when you've signed up for it by trying to be a combatant, but it doesn't work as well in the political/administrative areas.

Do not ever quote, sing, or allude to that BEP song again, ever.

The video is bad enough to hear and watch the first time.
Verithrax2006-10-23 17:37:32
People I killed (In-game, ever, under any circumstances since I moved to Magnagora or as far as can remember): 1
People I attacked (This includes doing something non-letal but ICly painful for demonstration purposes): Less than ten, probably.
Novices I mistreated in any way shape or form: None. I wait until they can have a decent working knowledge of how the game works. It's not fair to punish someone who has no chance of knowing what he's doing.

So yeah, the rumours of me being a novice-killing machine have been hugely exaggerated.
