You're wrong. Paradigm Shift wasn't formed over loot drama. Some of the early core of the guild left Ill Tempered Sea Bass after the guild leader (Shea) threw one too many tantrums including an epic meltdown in ToV that saw half the guild disband on the spot after he began accusing members of being "Taken spies" when we bumped up against a scheduled Taken HoT raid.
The guild today has no connection to events from 2.5 years ago outside of maybe half a dozen active players that were in ITSB together.
If you wanna drink the Shea/Fountree crazy Kool-Aid have fun with that tho.

I don't really play anymore but I'd like to correct some things here w/ your post Pyrrhica. Before I start, I've always had respect for you as a player and person. You were excellent at tracking and pulling dragons and helped grow Seabass tremendously.
Fact is, Rhovanion was tagged in Taken during this HoT raid you speak of. 100% truth. His alts were in Seabass sure. The "epic meltdown" you're talking about acctually was just me kicking Rhovanion out of the guild. Yes, drama ensued.
The reason I kicked him was because I awarded Csisu a Torpor off of Faydedar on the condition that she would trade in a Fungi tunic to help Tripsy out. When she refused and cried, I relented, and said OK.
There was a condition though... that Rhovanion and Csisu would show up to ITSB raids and help us grow instead of raiding with their mains in Taken. We had a planned HoT raid literally like the next day IIRC, and Rhovanion was there literally rubbing it in my face , raiding with Taken, while his wife and rl buds in the guild insisted there was no connection. What else could I have done? The entire guild at that point were all RL friends of his. Of course they all left when I kicked him. But I did the right thing.
You all seem to forget how much work was put into forming the core of what has become Paradigm Shift, the powerleveling, and the friendships. I played with Rhov and Csisu for years on live. It took a lot of BS to break that, and it sucks. Oh well. I'm long retired and wanted nothing then and want nothing now. I'm not even that great of a player. I just like playing the game at this point, been thru enough drama trying to do the right thing over the years to create something new, fun and exciting.
Enjoy your guild, but people deserve to know the truth.
