This is getting off topic anyways. This thread ... has become a list of what guild has screwed over what guild etc.

This, this, and more this. ^
My dearest wish in all my time playing this game has been to help others enjoy it as much as I have. The avatar of NiNiK has helped me do that. No, in real life I am not six years old; I do not subsist on a diet of milk and cookies; I am not bursting with joy 99% of the time. Playing NiNiK has helped me to keep sight of the part of myself that truly loves my "Blue Sparkler" and "Gnome Tinkered Toy" more than any other item I do or could ever possess in the game. (Yes, this includes the epic.)
I don't expect everyone to understand this point of view. When I played on live I was in a hardcore, cutthroat guild. NiNiK was never even my main character; she was an alt I created on a whim who ended up showing me a part of EQ I hadn't seen before. (Some of my own guildmates, who knew me only as Zahlia, whom I didn't roleplay at all, found the NiNiK persona just as baffling as many of the people here seem to do. The numerous jabs on these forums about how "NiNiKish" is impossible to understand, or hurts the reader's brain, or reveals a worrisome dearth of IQ on my part -- none of these are new to me, I assure you

I suppose what I am trying to say is that I’ve played this game on a bunch of characters, in several guilds, in two decades (!) and with a changing perspective on what this game and its community is and could be. I adore the people who play on this server. With very few exceptions, the people I’ve met in this community are helpful, funny, interesting and fun. Of course I love the people in Divinity; I am truly lucky to have found a guild of players whose ideas of how the game can best be enjoyed match so closely to my own at this point, but some of my favorite people are also in IB, TMO, and VD, not only in the other small guilds.
TL;DR? I don’t blame you, so let me make this simple: Regardless of how despicably p99ers may behave as
guilds (Amelinda’s post this past weekend came as a shock to me, and I’m far more cynical than NiNiK) as
individuals I like and respect everyone I've met. Please stop attacking each other. Since that is probably too much to hope for, at least stop tearing into each other in my name. It is the very last thing I want, for myself and for all of you.
