If you address Abacab's points instead of attacking his character, it's difficult to argue with him. IB isn't funny or cool or even nice. Our posts to each other are either thinly veiled bragging or inside jokes that aren't very funny even if you're in on them. If we attempt to be friendly with outsiders in /ooc or /say, we'll most likely be reprimanded by an officer.

We're pretty good at figuring out ways to kill difficult boss mobs and monopolizing spawns and that's about it. From a community perspective, we contribute very little to the server or to the forums. We mostly define ourselves socially by who we're enemies with, i.e. Transcendence or Dark Ascension. When there was a gap between those two, we started treating Divinity with animosity. Divinity!

Personally, I think we should just stfu as a guild, so I'm going to go do that now.
I don't actually have anything to say.. I just thought that this was so poignant that it deserved it's own post.

[Abacab niggah]

Pretty much he's saying if you argue my reasons or my "points" as he put it it's a difficult fight because in some sense I'm justified and even correct on most of my assertions.

But if you nitpick and fight me over my character it's easy because you can discredit myself as a troll

[Alawen Everywhere]

Just calling it the way I see it. Wish I were personally better at stfu.

[PhelanKA]

Goddamnit. I said as much in another thread. Now I look like a sycophantic parrot. Fuck it.

[Ektar]

nope.

[Otto]

I wouldn't agree with that reprimand thing. I am in mumble with some DA members pretty regularly, and I give shit away and talk in ooc and say regularly as well.

I don't agree that we add nothing to the server as well. I know of multiple guildies who give away most shit they loot and help noobs whenever they get the chance.

I know you don't like the way a lot of the members present themselves, but selling us out as an entire guild is pretty shitty and wrong imo.

[Alawen Everywhere]

Yeah, I'm the shitty one. The rest of IB are fucking angels. I stand corrected. I must be confused. We didn't just stay logged in 24/7 camping mobs for four months in order to crush the #2 guild.

You're proving my point, Otto. I said something on the forums and an officer is reprimanding me. You could tell me that I'm not going to get any loot, but... oh no, Ektar already told me that. What now, suspend my raid priveleges?

Fuck you.

[Otto]

1. I'm not an officer.

2. I'm just explaining my experiences with myself and some of my fellow guildmates.

3. Generalizing and grouping individuals into a situation that is black and white is plain dumb.

4. I did not call you shitty, I said what you said was uncalled for. See point 3.

5. I did not call IB angels. I just said we aren't devils.

Lol IB fighting each other now i like it!

[...Raren]

IMO i think they should boot alawen out of IB he is a worthless player anyways that is what most of the ppl in IB tell me

GL alawen

[Alawen Everywhere]

You're probably right. I suck. Waste of loot, waste of space.

[...Raren]

Just dont kill yourself its not worth it bro its just a game

[Alawen Everywhere]

My emo attitude about this game has nothing to do with how I feel about life in general. I just spent three weeks back in Minnesota with people who actually care about each other and the world and it's making all the ME ME ME stuff a little hard to take in EQ.

2500 years ago, Lao Tzu told us, "He who knows he has enough is rich." I am a very rich man.

[Merllin]

and that is coming from a guy who runs east on a west wall break in....

[Merllin]

raren that is...

Bro you talking shit i wasnt going to tell anyone but did u tell anyone i gave u showEQ?

[Emoqq]

East, west.... dey both havs for letterz. Eazy mistake.

Why you trying to change the subject bro? I know prob all ur guildies dont belive which is good for you atm so you dont get booted but me and u know the truth :) thats why u ported me out of Permafrost n shit when i was training IB then u got all scared because we ported on top of them in WC

[...Raren]

and why would i play anymore i beat the game already ill start back up when kunark comes around

[Merllin]

haha really though i want the stuff you been smoking must be some good shit.

[Sigmastorm]

Alawen is trash.

Old news though.

[Zilo]

hahaha Merllin doesnt use show EQ, and merllin doesnt dupe shit lol. Merllin is one of our honest and loyal members to Ib. Prapaganda can be soo funny sometimes. I will tell you this though, if your in a lvl 21 group with merllin in unrest, he will /need on an item, then auction it when the group disbands! =P Merllin Auctions: Dusty bloodstained gloves, 300pp! haha good times! Trust me everyone, Merllin is one of the last dudes on this server who would use Show EQ or dupe. He plays to have fun and enjoy the nostelgia of this game. Only a retard would play a classic EMU server to jus dupe, cheat, show eq or wahtever the fuck all this prapaganda is all about. Why wouldnt they jus play PEQ or WoW? lols anyways, jus my 2 cents

maybe otto was a little jealous u were hitting on his women so he is like fuck that boot that bitch!

lol seriously tho that is a bit stupid they booted you out sounds like they were trying to find a reason to boot ya to begin with

Ah yes, my man Otto, better not hit on or talk to or interact with me in any way ever or he will pull some mega in game shit.

Raren, you are a dumbass.

[Alawen Everywhere]

You might be right, but it seems more likely I just overstepped my bounds. There's a small group of people who matter in IB and I was never in that group.

[...Raren]

=( I love you tralina

[Shannacore]

Surprisingly civil

[Straif]

Wow that's gay.

In all honesty, the post Hasbin quoted seems pretty spot on from a general community perspective.

Anyone who isn't in a top tier guild (on any game really) will think of those guilds as elitists. If you happened to become a member of the upper echelon of that small community, you view immediately changes to: "Fuck everyone else BUT my guild, my shit doesn't stink."

I wouldn't be surprised if your post was true, however I can't confirm that it is. I think it more or less applies to every top guild on here. For the simple fact that every act is motivated by self interest. Guilds who will accept everyone and help people out don't get very far... they act as just a stepping stone for those who want to see the end game. Guilds who want to be on top will do everything possible, they will sacrifice, poopsock, resort to 24/7 call lists, etc.

Personally, MMO's and gaming in general plays more on our psychological needs. The reward system gives us that dopamine squirt we're looking for. No one gives a fuck about anything or anyone else unless it provides them with something. If you're guild booted you out specifically for this only instance, than it would be a perfect example of this.

I'm not even particularly resentful about it. I was kinda pissed off for a few minutes that I was taken out by Otto, who has been afk for most of the last six months and who leveled his monk alt instead of showing up for the boss spawn camping, but I'm already over it. IB hasn't really been very much fun since the Karsten/Crow/Hasbinbad days. Ventrilo and guild chat used to be hilarious, now it's all CLEAR VENT and CLEAR GUILD CHAT and NO TALKING IN PUBLIC CHANNELS.

I know there are people who want to play like that, but it's not my idea of a good time. I'm always confused by the people who want to be treated like a servant. I guess that, just like there are natural born leaders, there are also natural born followers.

I'm neither, consider me an outlaw because I for one think your leaders are a bunch of pussies and the followers are mere sheep that are just in it for the prestige and gear.

IB was no special case, when they got tore the fuck up by one of my trains they were sending me tells "Don't talk to me dude :(" and "Fuck you Abacab!" so certainly for a guild that thinks they are elite and among the top they got curb stomped by one rogue and the Nagafen claim was handed to their Rivals (DA) courtesy of Abacab.

Fuck your elitism, it ain't shit when I'm playing in game

[HippoNipple]

I have never been into hardcore raiding or even thought about being in the top end guilds. Usually somewhere around the rules of having to play over a certain amount of time per week or mandatory raid hours lets me know I'm looking at the wrong guild.

What is sad after reading this forum is you can tell the people in these guilds or wishing they could be part of the group, are actually intelligent people, but are lacking some serious social skills. There is no reason for adults to be raging or bitching this much about who can be in what guild, or talk to who. There is also a lot of people who take offense to... everything. It sounds very pathetic. Maybe if my play style aligned with the guys that you "hardcore players" have to suck up to all the time I would have to deal with it to, luckily for me I don't have the same goals when playing the game.

Even if you have always been this type of player that has to be in the top guild, have the top gear, etc. maybe its not too late to take a more a more casual approach this time around. You can still play just as much but be more social, join a normal guild that doesn't require a certain amount of nerd raging greedy freaks in it, and lower your stress while playing the game. I know there are good people in those guilds as well but we all know you have to put up with a lot of jackasses to accomplish the goals of those hardcore guilds, and it sounds like a lot of drama... for a game that came out over 10 years ago. We aren't exactly racing to discover new content with the new expansion.

[Alawen Everywhere]

I was actually really pissed that day, less because of Abacab but more because for a fucking half hour I was trying to get people to wake up and kill a few spiders and they were all afk. It seriously took Abacab most of an hour to wipe that raid and it could have been handled so easily.

I feel you on the possessive feeling in a guild though. Hardcore raiding has always lead to a decline in MMO's due to them being catering to. Hardcore raiding also led me to quit every game I've played.

I was willing to do what it took but there needed to be a balance. When the game stopped being fun and turned into work (literally), it was time to go.

Easiest killing ever, it was paramount to walking into the ICU and smothering the coma patients with their own pillow, no fighting, no screaming, just slow death from the unaware.

I was never on the call list for IB, which is probably part of why I was expendable. I also never shared my account information; another strike against me.

The flip side, of course, is that when I logged for the night, I got a full night's rest and my accounts were never "hacked".

I'm going to laugh when one of the IB officers sends me a tell to turn in my dragon loot (I have a BCG and a White Dragonscale Cloak). I'm kind of curious if they'll be able to get one of the devs to take loot off my characters.

Holy fucking shit Raren, you need to get a job and you need to learn how to type legibly. Unfortunately the former is not going to happen since you can't type out an intelligible resume and no employer is going to hire you. Here are some helpful tips that anyone who has graduated high school would already know, but that you're fucking oblivious to:

When typing "ppl", instead type "people".
When saying "u", instead write "you".
When writing "ur", please write "you're" or "your" (whichever is appropriate for the situation - I realize this one might be a little challenging for you though).

Or alternatively, just stop posting entirely, you whiny little bitch.

On a serious note, it's kinda sad to see Alawen get handled like that. He put in a lot of time into their tracking crew. Guess in the end it didn't mean shit. This is just a game man. I don't take any of this shit seriously and these forums are just a place to relieve a little boredom and poke fun at people in a good natured way. Some people just can't handle that apparently.

Is the answer then "no, no one from IB has ever had their dragon loots forcibly removed from their character upon leaving/being removed from IB"?

Cause that would make a couple of your posts in this thread just seem like an attempt to spread drama, rather than real worry that your loots will be taken away.

[Ektar]

Hi Alawen,

I know you're a smart guy, so I want you to take a second to think about your claims. Once you view them objectively, you will realize that your claims are either exaggerated or just completely made up. You know you're just taking bits and pieces and forming them as a whole to create your currently distorted view and spread the "truth" about IB. Send me a tell in game if you'd like to chat, because I don't have private discussions on the forums.

Of course if you'd like to become hasbinbad 2.0, that is your decision. Nothing I can really do I suppose; it's all up to you.

Is the answer then "no, no one from IB has ever had their dragon loots forcibly removed from their character upon leaving/being removed from IB"?

Cause that would make a couple of your posts in this thread just seem like an attempt to spread drama, rather than real worry that your loots will be taken away.

Are you not aware of the loot policy changes over the last few months? Did you not hear about the confrontation between Wonton and Nizzarr that led to all the boss camping for the late spring and most of the summer? You'll have to pardon me for not talking about any current members who got stripped while they were away or when they returned. I'm not trying to cause shit for anyone else in IB.

When were you last around? March? Thanks for your opinions, but they're based on nothing.

[yaaaflow]

I searched my post for the word "bad" but I couldn't find it so I'm a bit confused?

Anyway Finawin my actions at the evileye were all within the letter of the law according to the camp rules on the server so I don't really know what you are getting at?

[eqdruid76]

Now THIS is classic EQ!

[yaaaflow]

I did hear about the guild requesting that Nizzarr return his vox eyepatch. He didn't, still has it to my knowledge, and is therefore a pretty bad example of the using a GM to login to your account and take away your shit that you described earlier in the thread isn't it?

[yaaaflow]

Regardless, if anyone in IB deserves their dragon loots in my experience it's definitely you for the crazy hours you put in to track for the guild Alawen, and I certainly don't think you should give em back. It's just sad to see you parted from IB for a matter of hours and already making stuff up about em though.

[Alawen Everywhere]

Hi Alawen,

I know you're a smart guy, so I want you to take a second to think about your claims. Once you view them objectively, you will realize that your claims are either exaggerated or just completely made up. You know you're just taking bits and pieces and forming them as a whole to create your currently distorted view and spread the "truth" about IB. Send me a tell in game if you'd like to chat, because I don't have private discussions on the forums.

Of course if you'd like to become hasbinbad 2.0, that is your decision. Nothing I can really do I suppose; it's all up to you.

Don't talk in public channels, Ektar.

[Ektar]

Door's always open to send a tell when you calm down pal.

Read what I said. "I'm kind of curious if they'll be able to get one of the devs to take loot off my characters."

I know for a fact that some members who shared their information have been logged in and stripped.

I also know that an item was stripped from another individual by the GMs when that individual left an earlier guild to join IB.

Is it "making stuff up" to wonder if they'll be able to get a GM to strip me?

Don't talk in public channels, Magicflow.

[whitebandit]

its really funny that this is the way this forum is going, Alawen has a good fucking point and look at the rest of IB defending their bad habits..

[Alawen Everywhere]

Door's always open to send a tell when you calm down pal.

How about this Ektar? How about you say to yourself, "Hey, Alawen really got screwed on the Mistwalker and now the honeycomb, didn't he? And he plays his cleric day after day when we ask him and takes 0% rezes after wipes and never complains. Maybe I'll just let him hang onto a fucking common drop Fire Sky Ruby and Lush Nectar that he'll probably never use because we can't kill Eye of Veeshan so he feels like he's getting something for his time."

Nah, talk down to him instead. Give him some smartass remarks about who the MA is. Tell him to wait for the other clerics to get theirs first when he asks for... druid drops.

I see a lot of leadership potential in you.

Don't talk in public channels, Ektar.

[Taluvill]

Alawen, for what it's worth, your a good guy. I know you put in your time in IB and deserve what you got, and probably more. You were/are at least one person I could have a civil/intelligent conversation with.

Thanks for the kind words in both threads, Tal. Don't those days chatting with all the druids from various guilds back in Fear seem innocent after all this crap? It's just a game. We're all playing a game together. I thought it was supposed to be fun. I thought we were supposed to make friends.

[whitebandit]

I agree, with all the crap i have had to deal with IB, you were only one who would chat with me in fear :( i miss sitting under our tree...

i<3u alawen!

Some people play to be social and play a rpg with others - those people do make friends.

Some people play to be elite and be better than everyone else. Even if this person is a nice guy, being the best is a dirty game and some people need to be left in the dust. If you play and have to be in the best guild and raid all the time you are going to deal with a bunch of bullshit. Even if you are just wanting to raid all the time because you enjoy the content there are a ton of other people wanting to be the best and not everyone can, this causes bitching and the drama all of you fight over. If you just didn't give a shit about having an item in this game all that would go away, but unfortunately those items mean way too much for some people.

[Samuel]

I'm sorry this happened to you Alawen.

It's amazing how serious this game has become for some of us. All of the secrecy, censorship, and hate between guilds has gotten out of hand.

I know it's fun to be on the cutting edge of raiding, but sometimes a person has to be able to interact with other players and try to enjoy this game.

I hope you enjoy leveling up your ranger!

I agree. It's never been about the loot for me. It's always been about slaying dragons and having a good time.

I can't believe ya'll wasted your entire summer sitting on ass 24/7. That's so sad!

[Alawen Everywhere]

Well, truth be told, my attendance has been pretty poor during the camping thing. I'll do it a couple days a week, but I like to go outside too much in the summer time. I also spent a week moving in June and three weeks at the end of July and the beginning of August in Minnesoooda.

At the beginning of this day, I felt a little upset about all of this. As the day has gone on, I feel an increasing sense of relief. I don't have to watch the clock ticking later and later tonight thinking about how much sleep I'm going to lose. I'll play if I want and go to bed when I want. I won't be racing back and forth between the stove and the keyboard trying to make something decent for dinner without missing any fights. I can call my mom and talk about some of the things I'm helping her with and not worry about what I'm missing in ventrilo or hurry to get off the phone.

When I play EverQuest, I can take time out to make some new friends. I can buff some lowbies at orc1 or hang out at the tunnel entrance. I can camp jboots! I can talk in say and ooc and shout as much as I wish.

Goodbye, Inglourious Basterds. Thanks for the fun we shared. I wish there'd been more of it; it's been a long time since we had much fun together. Good luck with Plane of Sky and whatever else lies on your path to Project 1999 supremacy. If you need a port or a rez, give me a shout. If you just want to chat, I'll be around.

See ya later.

Thanks to all the rest of you for your encouraging words. You've all reminded me why I play this game. I got a little bit lost worrying about being #1. Being #1 is pretty fleeting, but memories of fun and friendship last a lifetime. I really like playing EverQuest. I have a smile on my face now as I think about the fun still to come and the friends I haven't met yet.

[Lazortag]

Alright, so I`m typing on a french keyboard right now which means my post is at worst going to look like something Raren typed, and at best going to have some unusual punctuation, but here goes: while I won`t dispute what Alawen says about IB in the original post or any of the subsequent ones (nor will I say anything to confirm it because I just donét know if what he says is true), I`m not really sure what the controversy is over him getting kicked from IB. I mean, he criticized his guild in a public forum, something which I`m sure no guild would be okay with, and for good reason - there are other channels through which he can talk about his grievances with the guild, and it`s always more desirable to keep a guild`s problems private than to put them out on display. I also don`t see why he cares that he was kicked from a guild that he was obviously not enjoying being a part of. If I didnt like being in LifeAlert, i`d just leave - similarly, if I didn`t like my job, I wouldn`t TRY to get fired - I`d just quit. Alawen TRIED to get kicked out with this thread.

God you're even more pathetic then I thought so. I would have quit Inglourious Cheesefarts and deleted p99 after the very first 5am raid. Jeesh some people seriously have a miserable real life.

No wonder your wife left yo azz, but atleast you didn't get any kids, right? Please say no Alawen, I beg you.

Grow up Alawen, oh nevermind, you're already close to hitting 50.

I gave this some thought and I think there might be some truth to your thoughts. Collectively, the people in IB act as the server bullies. When I was leveling my cleric, Daire, I didn't tell most people about him. The guild I had by far the most trouble with was IB. IB members stole camps and named mobs from my pickup groups and even trained my bats and bugs groups repeatedly with fire giants. The way IB treats discarded members is pretty deplorable.

When I started with IB, there was a bard who was a really nice guy. They'd been stringing him along on his application period for weeks and weeks. They finally rejected him and he was really sad. His name will still come up once in a while in guild chat or ventrilo and they'll ridicule him all over again.

There are two other guys, a monk and a cleric, that I really like, too. They've been getting the same treatment. Just used and used for weeks, not made full members, not given loot, and talked about all the time behind their backs.

The thing I think would surprise most people is that, collectively, the players in IB are nothing particularly special. Emil and Tullian are both really good and Emil is honestly the only reason IB is the top guild. There are maybe half a dozen other players who would have made it into a top tier guild on live. The rest could be replaced by nearly anyone willing to devote most of their free time. I should mention that I think I'm one of those easily replaceable players. I was in a #1 guild on live, but it was only because I was a reliable cleric.

I think that it's always bothered me to be associated with the server bullies. It wasn't uncommon for us to kill things just to thwart other guilds. We farmed Maestro long after there was nothing we needed and deleted the loot.

Now don't get me wrong. There are plenty of really decent folks in IB. It's just that the group mentality is dominated by disdain for the rest of the 3,000 or so people who play on Project 1999. There are also a handful of real sons of bitches in the guild--things like racism, homophobia and misogyny are present every day in guild chat and ventrilo.

I'm just not really about that kind of behavior as a person or as a player. I like to help other people. I believe that the success of humanity is based on our cooperation, not how ruthlessly we can compete. In less than a day since I was kicked out of IB, I'm feeling a great deal happier. When I first read your message, I wanted to say, "No, what I really wanted was for IB to read my message, feel ashamed of how poorly they treat the rest of the server and become a little bit nicer guild." But maybe you're right. Maybe I already knew that wasn't going to happen and the only way for me to return to the kind of balance that's important to me was to get kicked out.

[Sigmastorm]

IB is trash and so are you Alawen, how it has taken you one year and a guild kick to realize that is beyond my imagination.


We farmed Maestro long after there was nothing we needed and deleted the loot.


That's not entirely true, you farmed maestro because you're a bunch of sad pathetic worthless nobodies with nothing better to spend their time on.

If I was a admin, I would have banned and deleted every member of IB a long time ago. It's a win/win situation for everone, sadly someone is lacking a pair of balls.

I think your attitude would be right at home in IB. Personally, I don't think other human beings are trash. I believe people are essentially good, but sometimes they make poor choices and do things they won't be proud of later.

I was in IB for about six months, with time taken off for two trips back to Minnesota, a move, a vacation in Cozumel and a week break just because I wasn't having fun. As I said, my attendance was inconsistent during the boss camp, so I was active for about four to four and a half months and most of that was from February to May. Most of that time was pretty fun, although the feeling of fun suffered a lot as we lost Karsten, Crow and Hasbinbad. They were all hilarious on a daily basis.

Since the camping began, the guild mood was mostly set by Stumbles and Ektar, neither of whom are very fun or funny at all. They're both pretty petty and try to make up for their lack of knowledge and experience in EverQuest by being sticklers for rules, yelling at people for talking or forgetting potions or whatnot. There's a lot of yelling at people in general.

It will be interesting to see IB's future. They're having lot of trouble hanging on to good tanks and clerics, which is obviously the key to success in this game. Now that they're no longer farming Plane of Hate, they'll have to attract warriors and clerics who are already geared. That seems like a significant challenge.

[Hasbinbad]

Alawen, I'm sorry I reposted that quote.. ..if it had anything to do with raising awareness about what you said and getting you kicked, I apologize.

..a few points..

#1.) Calling Alawen and I "interchangeable" on the forums is a pretty low fucking blow, Magic, to both of us, for very different reasons. You're a cockmongering cuntface, and I thought I knew you better than that. Shame on you.

#2.) Ektar, Emil's sausage is showing, better go hide it quick before he becomes enraged at your poor performance. Seriously, Alawen is a fucking hippie. You guys seriously call him Hasbinbad 2.0? I think that time and distance clouds your fucking memory. Don't fucking forget that I was IB raidstyle while most of you fuckers were level 30 LFG in fucking sol A.. Fucking ingrates. How soon we forget. Also, I didn't even begin to rage out when I left IB, I left that shit off the forums. The number one tell I would get is "You left IB? I didn't even know.." ..even from IB members.. ..I said so little that most people didn't even fucking know that it happened.. ..so you fucking pole smokers can SAVE that shit.

#3.) Alawen's role in the guild may have changed in the last few months, and I dunno whatever drama or whatever, but you guys make yourselves look like assholes when you throw him so completely under the bus after all the hours of tracking he put in way back when. Just sever your fucking ties cleanly and move on.. Dragging this bullshit on the forums makes you look like fucking babies. Especially IB, you guys shouldn't even be posting here.. If Alawen is gonna rage himself into a fit of pique, let him and ignore it. You're only proving him right by posting here, especially in such a manner.

#4.) Fuck you (everyone).

[yaaaflow]

Nah dude it's for real, go ahead and read through your rants and flames posts on this forum while you were still in IB, and then go and read alawen's r&f posts before his break - I bet without the names beside them even you wouldn't be sure if you wrote it or alawen did.

Also lol at your point #2, the way I recall it was you raging HARD on these forums, and then getting someone (Secrets?) to delete the threads once they got embarrassing to you. I'm pretty sure I can dig up hasbinbad.txt if you want a little reminder of the fit you threw on these forums after you left IB :)

[Hasbinbad]

Blah blah..
I didn't post shit about it for well over a week after it happened, and not until people fucked with me first.
I never asked anyone to remove anything that I posted; I don't get embarrassed about anything I do or say.
Dig up whatever you want, just be sure to dig up the provocating posts while you're at it, or did you not save those?

..also I would like to see this comparison you're talking about, saying that my posts are indistinguishable from Alawens.. I would wager that in a blind test, people could in fact tell mine from his, and that the tone is markedly different.

You might have better luck re-writing history with someone else there pal.

Good luck!

[yaaaflow]

I don't need to rewrite history I was there for it and I remember that shit well :)

[Alawen Everywhere]

Hasbinbad, there's no need to apologize. I said what I said and the consequences belong to me. Oddly, I think I am less insulted by Magicflow's comparison than you are. Maybe it's because I think he is acting from an odd sense of loyalty to a guild he deserted.

Magicflow, you have no relevant information here. The things you know about me are what you saw before you left. I've been in exactly one guild on Project 1999. I was 100% loyal and did everything ever asked of me and much more. Ironically, I was never one of the people reprimanded for talking in say or shout. Several people from IB have asked me to stop posting negatively about the guild and I'm going to try to resist that urge, though I have a lot more I'd like to vent about. I'm going to recommend that you shut up and fuck off, because if you don't I'm going to feel free to really get personal. IB desperately needs to recruit geared clerics right now. If you don't think that I can make that task a whole lot more difficult, try me.

I'm trying to let this go and walk away. If anyone from IB wants it to continue, feel free to get your licks in. I will hurt you far, far more than you can possibly harm me.

[Hasbinbad]

Oddly, I think I am less insulted by Magicflow's comparison than you are.
I can't tell whether or not I should be insulted by THIS! :P
