It's nice to believe in things

[Faerie Blossom]

When I finally decided to stop letting the low population scare me away from red, I came here with intentions of fighting the nefarious <Nihilum> tyrants. From an outside perspective, it definitely seemed as though they were the evil force cannibalizing the population and placing the health of the server's future in question. And they really might be doing this, though unintentionally.

I'd planned to apply to <Azrael> before I even made my character. Because I want to help kill dragons and gods, just as most EQ players do. It's an important part of the game, and I don't believe this makes me blue. You need that loot to kill those bad guys. But who are the bad guys? While leveling up, Azrael griefed me more than all the fungi twinks and immy healers combined. After having this happen a few times, and speaking with a few Nihilum members, I was mostly decided in applying to them.

But then I read all of this forum drama. And it wasn't just the usual trash talk that you find on pvp boards; these people had actually stripped gear, deleveled and deleted characters. Players like this Heartbrand are appalling, and have such senses of entitlement that I can't understand why any self-respecting guild would allow them to wear their tag.

I do this thing where I romanticize everything. Maybe it makes me a geek, but I guess I never got over being a weird debate kid in high school that did a lot of acid, played EQ and believed in things. Here in EQ, I'm a princess. My romanticized ideal princess. I won't get into what that means, but I can't join your guilds. Just as on VZ, while I attended their raids sometimes, I never could join Aduentus.

I have hopes of one day fighting "the good fight" here, but too much of what goes on (on all sides) is petty, immature and sometimes even immoral. There is no good fight; none of you act admirable or dignified. All sides are griefing the population away instead of nurturing it, and I'm convinced that a good many of you are masochists.

That's not to say that you all as individuals are like this. Many of you are wonderful people, and I'm glad to have met you. But it's up to the guild leaders to uphold certain standards, and they've chosen dragon loot over self-respect.

The good people and players on this box are exceptionally good for the most part.

The others are the Stereotypical EQ Red player + sociopaths.

What I like about this server is that it's truly a community. Everyone knows each other. That being said; we know who the trolls are. And they troll HARD

I am going to assume that one of your "immoral" acts was getting bind PK'd by Kimm. I read the Forumquest account of it and did not agree with her actions. However, I still sold her an exp res yesterday. Economics > Morality. Hail the almighty platinum!

Oh no, the funny thing about that is I don't mind too much what Kimm did. FoH is FoH, and you have to respect that they're going strong after over a decade.

More than anything, this thread is about a lack of a respectable raiding guild. The rest of the server can do what they want, but if there was just one single raiding guild with the drive and determination to make it without training, causing exp loss to oor newbies, placing spies in other guilds, hacking or just generally acting like assholes; I would be happy.

[Spoony]

Faerie,

Your mistake is believing what you read on forums or in /ooc. Don't let the trolls get the best of you. Actually, you might even be trolling me at the moment!

I don't make these accusations lightly. Azrael griefed me in game, and Nihilum was defending a player banned for causing harm to an Azrael account.

[heartbrand]

Nothing more annoying than a self-righteous person. Literally had zero interactions with you in game but here you are talking about who should or shouldn't be in different guilds.

p.s. randomly c2'ed you a couple times, next time i c u it will be a rapture and a root on top of guards

I like you too, Pudge! But please don't worry; I've not given up hope on any guilds here yet. It's just that for the time being, I can't see myself fitting in with you.

[heartbrand]

Looking forward 2 griefing the fuk out of this faggot role-player

[Pudge]

rofl!

see this is why i love this server. me and faerie have a gay moment, HB says he will slay that faggot roleplayer

[Tradesonred]

You wear the tag, you represent the guild.

With the population as it is, you cant expect to have your own niche crew if you want to do any sort of organized content.

I was in Azrael before i quit the game, I get along fine with people like Brainz, Jezibell and some other folks i dont get along, id say its 80% i get along. Bad apples are inevitable in such a low pop server.

What was it that you consider griefing though, like killed over and over 10 times or what?

Youre on a pvp server, its just normal that people want to pvp. Unfortunatly, because of dev decisions (xp loss in pvp) it means that noobs are catching more grief than they would if devs would actually use the feedback some players are giving them on a silver platter and correct the situation.

That is unfortunate, that for better geared, most likely better at the game ancient players have to grief new people by default each time they kill them. But that is the way the devs decided pvp would work, they are to blame, not the players who want to pvp on a pvp server.

[HippoNipple]

What was it that you consider griefing though, like killed over and over 10 times or what?



I think it had more to do with training out of range players or dispelling mobs, etc. I believe I remember seeing posts about this but it may have been from a different player.

Tradesonred is right when he says it comes with the territory when you have a low population. You have to trade personality for the zerg mentality to get the dragon loot. If you forfeit what it takes to be a top guild you end up being a nice guild with no hardcore members. With a higher population guilds can develop more of a personality.

[Faerie Blossom]

I think it had more to do with training out of range players or dispelling mobs, etc.

Yeah, it was this. I don't consider pvp griefing, but training and the like crosses the line.

I understand the low population thing, and it really does make sense to a point. That's where my romanticism thing comes into play though, and I'd rather join a group of courageous underdogs fighting for purity and justice than down Trakanon in a guild of RMTers and griefers.

I'm a dreamer, and I'll make no apologies for it. I will, however, join any of these guilds I've talked shit about in some raids, just to experience that content :P

This basically. Majority of the server is full of good fun people, But like the other person said there will always be those few shit ass trolls who are annoying but either essential for pvp/raid and will be in every guild at least a couple of them. Just gotta deal with it.

[twistidmetal]

This is my experience as a new player on red99 over the past two months:

While I was leveling, Nihilum was the only guild remotely nice to me. Twainz, Node, and Strydur were all exceptionally cool to interact with. They would answer my questions and help out however they could.

I have been trained and griefed multiple times by out of range players. All of the griefers I have encountered were Azrael or affiliated with Azrael. All of the hate tells I got were Azrael. Most of the OOC trolls are sided with Azrael. I only know a handful of Nihilum that speak in OOC, and it's usually unbecoming bickering.

I had one positive interaction with Azrael. I got stuck in a sticky situation by waltzing in on an Azrael raid. They killed me initially, but they allowed me to "loot and scoot." That was really cool of them. I remember Noah and Brennard being really nice about it.

I have never been mad about PVP interactions. It sucks to get smacked around or blind sided while leveling, but that is the nature of PVP. What does bother me is griefing without reason, exploiting, and account stealing. Azrael and Nihilum push back and forth. Both sides cast stones. I don't know the whole situation. Most of these guys know each other from long before this server started. I can't really judge the situation.

To me, Players like Heartbrand are repercussions of people doing rotten things. Heartbrand has only ever been cool to me, but he can dish it out if he chooses. Honestly, sometimes it's nice to see Heartbrand push around the people who grief on a regular basis.

What matters to me is player interactions. Who seems like a nice guild to group and raid with? I had to go with Nihilum. I'm sure Azrael has some cool people, but I haven't met them.

TL;DR: Both Azrael and Nihilum have done some crappy things. Most of these guys have the "they would do it to me" mentality, and they have had bitter interactions for years. Don't count out a guild because of the actions of a few. Take your experiences and decide what guild suits you. My guild is Nihilum.

[Tomato King3]

I really dont see faerie lasting very long here , she is very judgemental and has a problem realizing 90% of people on this server are mad and bad because they are terrible at life.

I even talked to her and she made me feel like i was a dick when i would never screw over anyone even a person i didnt like.

There are alot of evil people here and apparently she views herself as a saint, you wont last here sweetie.

It is what it is.

Both nihilum and azreal have alot of cool people , but both have toxic leadership and most of their members are stoned idiots or losers and have no direction , morals or shame.

My best advice is not to take this server very seriousley and focus on leveling up IRL like me , youll sleep like a baby.

[Something'Witty]

As a new player on red, I was also leaning towards applying to Azreal, mainly because I have a natural inclination to side with the "underdogs" (e.g. I was in Zeph from ToV to the guilds death back on VZ). However, my very brief interactions with the leadership of Azreal and Nihilum have made me reconsider.

The one time I met Nizzar, he was very pleasant to chat with and did out of group DPS, basically power leveling my wife and I for ~20 mins. On the other hand, the only time I have interacted with Lite, he was griefing us by highsun'ing every mob we pulled, which subsequently trained my wife after he zoned the agro.

Now, I know these might be two isolated incidents and not representative behavior of both individuals / guilds as a whole, but my point is, first impressions matter.


P.S. I am reminded of the old idiom: you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

Nihilum/Azrael = Republicans/Democrats. Republicans are corrupt scum to anyone who isn't retarded, and Democrats pretend they're better but would do the same or worse in power.

[Faerie Blossom]

That would make you a Queen if you were to lead dragons and the army of unsullied, Not princess.

Who said they were unsullied? And please don't question me or my royal status; I am your beloved Barbarian Princess and I will lead my people into an age of love and prosperity.

I found some of your past actions to be immoral, but this doesn't mean we can't be friends. As far as the saint thing goes, I'm hoping someone will make a martyr of me and really get this thing going. Pretty sure Heartbrand has already volunteered.

If you're in the market for a prophet, why not give me a go? My administration and I have progressive proposals that, if passed into law, would increase server population without bogging down the economy further with dependance on foreign currencies.

This is interesting to me. I wonder what would happen if Azrael enforced a strict "no douchebag" policy. Would they really find themselves unable to raid? Because my experience was similar to ^this, and it almost pushed me to Nihilum too.

yeah this basically sums me up

Not to be condescending, but I feel that you all have succumbed to the aesthetic, and hedonistic. There is infinite beauty and pleasure in Norrath, but it would probably be wise to remember that reality is distorted by our senses. You can EQ for loot, and you can EQ for victory over the others, and no one should fault you for this. Some of us would like to EQ for more ethical (for lack of a better word) reasons, and I hope no one faults us for this either.

“If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!”

It's times like this that I like to ask myself: What Would Tunare Do?

[Heywood]

So your saying us server n00bs should hang out with assholes? Please explain your logic there, this should be interesting...

Your logic is skewed too. Nizzar pl me for 20 min =\= nihilum are nice and cool. If you base your opinions oof guilds on one interaction, you're incredibly ignorant.

[Agatha]

PLing and gearing people out if they join azrael, send agatha a tell ingame with ur location and level, and ill be right there.

edit: haha wait i thought i was in nihilum for a second. we don't ez mode it for anyone. but we dont go out of our way to shit it up for you unless we have reasonable suspicion your a nihi recruit.

[Something'Witty]

Your logic is skewed too. Nizzar pl me for 20 min =\= nihilum are nice and cool. If you base your opinions oof guilds on one interaction, you're incredibly ignorant.

Did I say Nihilum = nice and cool + I am joining them? Or did I say:
I know these might be two isolated incidents and not representative behavior of both individuals / guilds as a whole

I have no idea what guild I will end up siding with because I am not ignorant enough to believe that one interaction with one individual is enough to form an opinion of an entire group.

[Terpuntine]

So your saying us server n00bs should hang out with assholes? Please explain your logic there, this should be interesting...

Sounds like freez playing lite if it happened in all honesty, not sure what else to tell you I never see my own guildies griefing lowbies like these forums claim we do all the time.

[Ebony]

I understand the low population thing, and it really does make sense to a point. That's where my romanticism thing comes into play though, and I'd rather join a group of courageous underdogs fighting for purity and justice than down Trakanon

When you were sending tells earlier, I was afk getting killed by Kimm again lol

Is this thread actually happening? Its a pvp server where people are encouraged to fight each other. Grief happens. Its frakin EQ dude. Get used to it. If you are getting bind camped, just log. This issue should seriously be a moot point. You get bind camped? You lost .. log off accept defeat. The end. Try again if you want later.

Just because we're out to kill each other doesn't mean we have to act like savages. If you're ever PKed by Faerie, you can feel safe in the knowledge that you were brought down with elegance and class.

[Pudge]

To me, Players like Heartbrand are repercussions of people doing rotten things. Heartbrand has only ever been cool to me, but he can dish it out if he chooses. Honestly, sometimes it's nice to see Heartbrand push around the people who grief on a regular basis.

lol. the DAY i joined <red dawn> (precursor to <azrael>, <azrael> is red dawn without heartbrand) Heartbrand asked me for info to "any clerics or druids i had" for guild purposes. (yea the fuck right, even if i had any, why would i give to some dude i don't even know?) literally 1 week later, heartbrand stripped every toon he had access to, in addition to guild bank, of <red dawn> (of which he was a CO-LEADER of) and switched over to Nihilum.

Bro. Nihilum leadership are hackers, exploiters, toon strippers, and general scum. Nihi came here for formed their own guild on red, BECAUSE they were banned on blue. Nizzar has been frapsed using MQ2. Of course none of these guys will admit it.. but they are RMTing, MQing, and immersing themselves like they got cement blocks chained to their feet.


Most nihi are fine. but leaders are scumbags. Azrael, you might not like a guy or two, but the guild and its leadership are legit. Don't know who did you wrong, but they probably didn't warp, /face, or train and instaplug ontop of you.

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

[Silent]

Yeah getting a 5 minute glimpse of someone in game whether they speak to you or say hi or whatever is not what you should be basing your opinions off. I have multiple 40-50 level characters that RL friends leveled up then quit playing, occasionally I log them on for boredom to play around with and get a little exp. They are all untagged except one and no one knows who I am on them. I have seen how both nihilum and azrael act to unsuspecting 'newbs' with no allegiances yet. They either were usually nice and chatted me up about my future on the server(nihilum tried to dig a little deeper in regards to friends/where i came from) The only real PKing came from FoH and the random nihi alt guild tyva or whatever attempts. Either way I have yet to have a bad experience on this server.

Rolling red, You're gonna die eventually and if you have no help/guild the CR is going to suck if its somewhere far. Choose sides or don't choose sides, Either way whatever guild you join the side will be chosen for you. No matter which you join, You will still encounter a few asshats per guild.

[Captivate]

As a new player on red, I was also leaning towards applying to Azreal, mainly because I have a natural inclination to side with the "underdogs" (e.g. I was in Zeph from ToV to the guilds death back on VZ). However, my very brief interactions with the leadership of Azreal and Nihilum have made me reconsider.

The one time I met Nizzar, he was very pleasant to chat with and did out of group DPS, basically power leveling my wife and I for ~20 mins. On the other hand, the only time I have interacted with Lite, he was griefing us by highsun'ing every mob we pulled, which subsequently trained my wife after he zoned the agro.

Now, I know these might be two isolated incidents and not representative behavior of both individuals / guilds as a whole, but my point is, first impressions matter.


P.S. I am reminded of the old idiom: you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.



You cant really get butthurt when youre getting PLed by one of the two top guild leaders, and the other one comes to stop it.

Is this thread actually happening? Its a pvp server where people are encouraged to fight each other. Grief happens. Its frakin EQ dude. Get used to it. If you are getting bind camped, just log. This issue should seriously be a moot point. You get bind camped? You lost .. log off accept defeat. The end. Try again if you want later.

The lack of reading comprehension on this one is unbearable. You take the unemployed/uneducated cake.

On a serious note - as someone who has been on this server for a grand total of about 12 days; I've come to the assumption that Azrael is the majority of this servers mongoloid faggot playerbase.

[Silent]

Pretty much what Captivate said. If you were being powerleveled by nizzar no matter how short, 99% of anyone who sees it taking place is going to say 'oh Nizzar's leveling up the noobs for recruitment, wait why is he doing it himself personally wheres his slave, Tune?"

Is this based on a /played of your character, or literally 12 days RL time since you rolled here? Because seeing as you already have gear and 5/55 rings to give away kind of makes the impression of 12 days a bit odd.(referring to posts you made 2-3 months ago)

whys that pal

[Karafa]

I played on blue. I previously played on Red a few months back for a few days with Northwest and Necrious. Gave away the little things I got from them when I quit to new players. Recently came back as of about 3-4 days ago, and it's the same bullshit in OOC.

All I ever see is Azrael tears or petty troll attempts in OOC with Nihilum only really responding. Handicap comments are pretty sad, especially when Azrael has the majority of the servers no lifers. You can /who Nihilum and only see 1-4 of them on until something pops. You can /who Azrael and see the same 8-15 no lifers that talk shit all day long on 24/7.

Just an unbiased opinion!

Uhh if you actually realized there was something called /anon you would know who was on and who wasn't. Anyone who plays pvp has a who list for anon char names to see the true 'online' list and most of the time that doesn't even take into account alts or people sitting in teamspeak ready to login. Azrael usually has a couple people more logged in then nihilum does, More azrael fly roleplay then not. If you started doing /who's on people in both guilds you would quickly realize how many nihi go anon unless they are together. You speak of no life, but here you are on the p99 forums for a emulated server on a game that basically died 9-10 years ago. To say someone has no life for spending time playing on this server or forum you are calling yourself a no lifer.

As far as azrael vs nihilum in ooc 'troll attempts' goes, Thats the server bro. There is almost no in between, Very few are neutral. The ones that login to troll/talkshit are usually either former nihi or azrael that sold off and came back solely to forumquest and talk shit in game because they still cant let go of the game. as far as the whole nizzar wheelchair thing goes I don't have a clue, I have never heard about his RL.

I wasn't whining about being griefed. When said incident happened with Lite, we stopped xping figuring that a lvl 60 would tire of grieffing lvl 40 something n00bs in cloth armor soon enough, which he did. That being said, if he had continued, we would have just left the zone. That was just the first encounter we had with Azreal leadership, and it didn't leave us with a good impression.

If y'all are trying to defend Azreal, you would be better off taking a page out of Salt's playbook instead of calling me a "bluebie" or some other ignorant / pathetic attempt at an insult.

Both incidents happened days apart and were not related.


P.S. My decision to side with one guild or another will be based on whether or not I like the player base in a guild, and not handouts / favors thrown my way. Over time I will get a better feel for each guild and figure out where I belong. That being said, with a low server population, why would you want to be an asshole to new players? Unless that is the type of player you want to attract...

Ohhh so youre a previous nihilum who ofcorse does not have a biased opinion about azreal. I could say the exact same thing about your guild but why? Im obviously biased.

Also just because nihilum hides their tags to remove them from /w all nihilum , doesnt mean they arent online. They're online brew.

[Kraftwerk]

I'm online 18 hours a day and I always show my Azrael tag.

[SamwiseRed]

when im not raiding on my azrael alt, im raiding on my nihilum alt

[heartbrand]

lol. the DAY i joined <red dawn> (precursor to <azrael>, <azrael> is red dawn without heartbrand) Heartbrand asked me for info to "any clerics or druids i had" for guild purposes. (yea the fuck right, even if i had any, why would i give to some dude i don't even know?) literally 1 week later, heartbrand stripped every toon he had access to, in addition to guild bank, of <red dawn> (of which he was a CO-LEADER of) and switched over to Nihilum.

Bro. Nihilum leadership are hackers, exploiters, toon strippers, and general scum. Nihi came here for formed their own guild on red, BECAUSE they were banned on blue. Nizzar has been frapsed using MQ2. Of course none of these guys will admit it.. but they are RMTing, MQing, and immersing themselves like they got cement blocks chained to their feet.


Most nihi are fine. but leaders are scumbags. Azrael, you might not like a guy or two, but the guild and its leadership are legit. Don't know who did you wrong, but they probably didn't warp, /face, or train and instaplug ontop of you.

Every single part of this post is complete and utter bullshit. When I came back I saw Vae Victus, another samwise nihilum feeder guild, and decided I would turn it into a real guild that could compete with nihilum. I power leveled every newb I could find making unrest the de facto headquarters of the guild, and tossed out tons of shit to random newbs I had from months of guk farming. I would even farm all the wisdom casters those kithicor one hand blunt weapons with wisdom.

Eventually as the guild got bigger I decided it would be easier to consolidate all my random shit on one char who I called red dawn bank and have this be our banker should we end up killing big bosses and what not. Everything on that char however was mine, with the exception of a couple shit spells of literally zero value that people donated, three gems from hate a diamond and two jacinths, and a staff of the undead legions from Draco no one wanted. When the guild broke up I handed out the diamond to Larsen because he was a big time team player who showed up to everything, and the jacinths to bandius and someone else who I honestly can't remember. The staff literally no one wanted and I couldn't even give it away after the guild dissolved and still have it I believe.

I lost tons from the guild because it was all mine. I gave away two tcrowns, multiple pairs of gebs, tons of resist gear, plat, smrs, etc. etc. Fuck, I decked tina out when she rerolled cleric and even gave yaks and shit to her warrior which were worth a nice amount back then. For anyone who thinks I took the guild bank I would kindly ask them to get some proof of items donated to the bank that were stolen. The sky bank still exists with all its shitty isle 1-4 loot and per prior posts is still open to azrael, in fact I gave out a drop from PoS to sickpuppy from it a month ago.

I don't know what strippings you're talking about, I had access to wanyo, basiah, and cheeseycakes, I never logged on wanyo or basiah and cheeseycakes I used to port and looted him the sky helm from isle four. I wouldn't even need access to a Druid because I had zibby so your story makes zero sense, and thank god we had zibby because everyone in the guild was too incompetent to get ports or show up to raids on time, it took hours to form up, something azrael still suffers from.

I'm glad they've given you the koolaide over there and that you're drinking it hard as fuck, and I understand facts are never as exciting or interesting, but I had to set the record straight one last time.

I don't know if any of the rumors I've heard are true, but I love that Heartbrand's sig is a credit card. Makes me wonder if it's a public taunt directed toward the server devs, or if the irony is simply lost on him.

[heartbrand]

Not sure if dumb or srs, it's a taunt against the tin foil hat wearers here who think donating actually gets you some sort of advantage. Btw, was nice seeing ur roleplaying faggit ass in game last night u dirty faggit

Yeah getting a 5 minute glimpse of someone in game whether they speak to you or say hi or whatever is not what you should be basing your opinions off. I have multiple 40-50 level characters that RL friends leveled up then quit playing, occasionally I log them on for boredom to play around with and get a little exp. They are all untagged except one and no one knows who I am on them. I have seen how both nihilum and azrael act to unsuspecting 'newbs' with no allegiances yet. They either were usually nice and chatted me up about my future on the server(nihilum tried to dig a little deeper in regards to friends/where i came from) The only real PKing came from FoH and the random nihi alt guild tyva or whatever attempts.

He gave away multiple characters to people that wanted to play here.

I don't believe I've made any accusations about him, beyond calling his character into question a bit. He has a big personality, and that's not always a bad thing, but he seems to think he's much more important than he is.

I hope that doesn't make me a bitch, but please remember that I referred to the RMT things as rumors.

[Clark]

Twain you're totally off base. Heartbrand is a Epitome of deceit.

[Nothxu]

All of you new people will quickly learn the differences between Nihilum and Azrael and make the best choice that suits you personally. However, please make those decisions based on your own personal experiences with the guilds, and not shit you see in /ooc or on the forums. If you are the type of person to make a decision based on what you read on forums or what you see in /ooc, we probably don't want you anyways.

I have been in Nihilum since October of 2012 so I am obviously biased, but I cannot imagine being in a guild and having to listen to guild chat from the majority of people that troll /ooc. I also cannot imagine being in a guild being co-lead by Andis. Over time, I have seen that quality players eventually gravitate towards Nihilum, and the immature kids, griefers, and your drama queens eventually gravitate towards Azrael.

Unfortunately, based on the type of people that have gravitated towards EQ pvp servers in the past, the majority of these people fall into the Azrael category. You can't lead those type of people, nor can you rely on those types of people. The recent Azrael success is the result of simply been being able to produce more bodies for a longer period of time (as well as cooperating with multiple other guilds). While Nihilum does tend to win the fights when we are dealing with even numbers (mainly due to the fact that Nihilum has higher levels and better gear), the better gear that Nihilum has (and the fact that resist gear / level differential does not help as much as it did on Live) can only account for so much. We'll see how long Azrael can keep it up. I hope they continue because having more people to kill makes the server more fun.

Choose your side wisely, and I look forward to grouping / raiding / pvping with whoever decides to go with Nihilum.

Nothxu / Nothx

Knuckle actually did the exact same thing on vztz. Made an "introduction to the community" post on forums, proceeded to duo double druids up, and even join guild for a month or two before ppl discovered (or he told them) it was him. Pretty lolzy. But you could level up much faster there than here.

Could be Cast. But after this long I'm actually thinking Faerie is legit.

[KabanazyTZ]

#1 reason everyone gives on nihilum apps for leaving azrael? andis and kringe

I don't understand everyone's deal with Kringe. Guy is straight forward, no bullshit, and leads like a leader should. Just because a pair of force members didn't like his observation of what happened in that lost seb fight, doesn't mean he's a bad leader. Some people need to be coddled, Kringe doesn't do that.

We fucked up splitting our forces near seb because we got complacent, we lost, you have to see where you messed up and fix it for next time. Just because he's man enough to say it straight up doesn't make him a bad person or a bad leader. He wasn't rude to any members, or call anyone out. He just said straight up we fucked up, we lost, pack your shit and find something else to do.

Was honestly a relief to hear because I didn't feel like using guerilla tactics to take on 30 Nihilum in seb with 10-15 shitty alts and 5 mains with only 4 of them being melee.

I can see why some people don't like Andis, but hes a bro and I love him.

You have received 0 Azrael players (though apparently a pair of force members) because of Kringe as he has only been in Azrael for a couple very successful weeks.
