Naming Policy

[Alawen Everywhere]

Yes, it's just a coincidence that I used the words "favoritism" and "inequality" in my first post. You've got me all figured out. My real point was... wait, what was it?

I went off on random tangents because there's nothing here to discuss with any of you. The people from IB love to play rules lawyer even though they lose that game to DA almost every time and, of course, they're all thinking OH MY GOD YOU CAN'T CHANGE OUR NAME WE ARE IB!!! The powers that be made it clear that the answer to my concern is "we'll do whatever we please" and I'm quite alright with that. The rule of man works fine until you piss off all the neighborhood kids and you're sitting in your sandbox alone.

Starklen wanted to get personal, so we got personal. He seemed to get upset! None of my early posts were directed at any individual or I would have named the individual(s). Then the post was moved to R&F and got ridiculous, so I got ridiculous back.

I hope at least some people reading this have the perspective to realize how funny it was; I laughed out loud at both some of the things I said and at some of the things you said after the thread was moved.

I wonder if you, Bagzan, can see the irony in your personal attacks on me. I don't communicate the way I do in order to impress you; I communicate this way because this is the way I communicate.

TL;DR Yes, the second half of this thread has been an exercise in immaturity. I'm over myself, are you?

P.S. Yes, dear Hasbinbad, THAT REALLY IS IRONY!

[Starklen]

You should probably reread the thread. I suggested you change your character name to be consistent. Consistency was what you wanted, not me. I personally don't even much care for our guild name to be honest, I just think you're a bitter old man that is so in love with his own views you can't help but make sure that everyone else knows and agrees with them. I am glad you laughed though. It was entirely intended to be satire before you turned the flame jets on.

You STILL don't get it? It has nothing to do with favoritism. It's not like they are allowing IB or LifeAlert to keep our copyrighted guild tags just because they love us, or out of "discretion". It's because it's actually not against the rules for us to have such names. Their answer to your idiotic concern wasn't that they have the "right" to not change IB's name - it was pretty clearly that the rule in question simply doesn't affect guild names. I've been saying this for the past three posts. How can you act like you're justified in ignoring everything I say as if you can predict where it's going to lead, when you're still at fucking square one?

And stop with the doomsday-prophetic nonsense. It's really just asinine.

"He started it!" Glad to know a man in his mid 40's reverts to 2nd grade on the internet. Mature indeed.

I never personally attacked you. I never said you were a petulant child, merely that in this instance, you were acting like one which, while opinion, seems to be pretty accurate given everything that's gone down. The way you came off in this thread, along with some others you have posted in is incredibly self-righteous with a heightened sense of self-importance and an arrogance that even Donald Trump would envy. You state your opinions as fact, even when they are patently wrong, and you have an agenda you're quite clearly trying to push but you try and put on a facade of being somebody that's "been there, done that" and is merely doling out advice to less enlightened journeyers than yourself. Get over yourself.

Lastly, as far as the guild name, I play the game to kill things, what the name of the guild I'm in is, I could care less. It could be <Slappy's Fun Time> or something actually offense like <Poopdick Asspiss> and I honestly wouldn't care one bit as long mobs still died.

What this guy said. I would find it awesome if actually enforced, but I doubt it will be...cuz you know, that whole favortism/leaking of contested mob spawn times =P

Newsflash: IB doesn't need leaked spawn times to beat shitbag clowns like DA to spawns.

DA are the talentless hacks who were caught using leaked, hacked, stolen, or otherwise unlawfully gained information to leapfrog guilds to the spawns at the correct times.

Continue with the name-change crusade that I think went on for pages after this guy's comment lol

Can't edit but wanted to say that while you may, in my opinion, be acting like a petulant child now, that I'm not dumb, I know you aren't somebody that does nothing but but stir shit up craving the attention from a response. I'm sure there are plenty of instances where you come across as mature, level-headed, and intelligent. This, however, is not one of those cases.

Isn't that interesting how I say immature and then you say immature and then I say I'm over myself and you say get over yourself?

Have you ever wondered what it's like when a dog is on a chain and he runs to the end of the chain and feels himself yanked backwards?

The really interesting part is that I could have written all of your posts myself last night. I just didn't know who it would be. I thought it would be Starklen, Glith and Gwence. I had no idea you'd come to play, too, Bagzan. I wonder if you realize that your posts are irrelevant. Your precious guild name was never at risk.

Many years ago, I had two cats. One day they were both sitting in the window, watching a humming bird. Their tails and their heads and their ears all moved in unison.

Do you think they have free will? Are free will, randomness and destiny mutually exclusive?

Do you know what it's like to read someone's post and want to post nothing other than a short, sweet, simple "stfu"? I've resisted the temptation for every one of your asinine posts in this thread, hoping you would eventually understand what I've been saying to you again and again and which you keep ignoring. How exactly does drafting a policy that affects only player names demonstrate IB favoritism? Do you believe that the devs harbor favoritism towards LifeAlert as well? Obviously they must favor us because they aren't going to change our name.
