Hey Xasten, alarti, portsche...old friends

[Socratic]

A lot of us play this game to destroy the enemy so they come to these forums and make up crazy stories about how horrible we are.

I think one of the best things to come from the merge is losing a good bunch of the fountree type players that are selfish and cause drama but contribute very little.

Hey Guys!

A guy named "Tremendous Faggots" just took the time to create a brand new forum account to comment on this really important conversation we are having.

He shares his wisdom with us, listen carefully.

I feel that devoting so much time to an ancient video game when you could be out building some sort of interesting life is pathetic and you should murder yourself.

Thanks Tremendous Faggots for taking time out of your really interesting life (Ahh god I can't even say it with a straight face) to share your wisdom. I eagerly await more.

And then some of us merge with them to destroy the enemy. Wait....that enemy is gone. Lets find another.

We didn't need to find another. IB found us.

So Phil.

You are FE. Well you obviously aren't in FE, but when you were and pretend you are FE.

You need to recruit. You have two dudes.

Both are great dudes. Fun to hang out with. Good people in general. Fun to shoot the shit with on vent.

One dude is brand new to EQ. Green in experience and gear.

The other dude is a seasoned veteran. He has the same passion for this game that you do.

There's nothing wrong with picking the seasoned veteran. In fact you give both a chance. Cause they both love EQ and are passionate about it, and are both good dudes.

Its recruitment man. It can be a merge, it can be convincing a friend to play, it can be an old player coming back.

Its all the same boat, its however guild on this server keeps on chugging along. Recruitment.

If on the other hand the very experience player was my competition for the past while, and we always had words on the forums and trashed each other's guild/each other. I probably wouldn't invite him based on the fact that if you are just making friends with all your enemies and/or competition. Then who really is the competition when it isn't benefitting you?

To me phil, what you are getting confused on is what "trash talk" is. Its part of any sort of competitive endeavor. Its not about truth, its about trying to throw the other person off their game. So if someone gets traded, you don't hold a grudge because someone trash talked you back in the day.

Since all trash talk here takes place in RnF its obviously all magnified by 1000 and public.

That doesn't mean that the people you are joining up with aren't good people that you would want to hang around with.

Bringing this back to the topic at hand. You can recruit a bunch of great people that you want to raid with, who coincidentally are also skilled, talented, and geared. No reason not to. Merging was part of recruitment, as well as recruiting new players that are newer to the server. We have a bunch of great up coming apps, and apps that recently achieved full membership that are just great folks that we look forward to downing lots of dragons with in the future.

That really depends. If the one guy who is green in experience and gear is a cool player, willing to put in the time, doesn't believe in asshatery and fair-game. Then I would have no problem recruiting him.

Why would you consider anyone on a game a serious enemy ? Why would you hold grudges like that over a game ?

Fountree must have had really good sex right before he wrote this.






Really good sex with his hand.

I don't hold grudges in game but you can't just let everyone who has different reasons for playing. Some people are here for RMT, some people are here just for status and pixels, some are here to have fun. If you don't hold any kinds of standards, not grudges. Then your guild will be full of people who are in it for difference reasons. My point is that I like to find people who are here to PLAY the game for FUN. And honestly from the looks of it, you have some enemies yourself. Go invite skywarp to your guild next time, or someone you've been arguing with constantly. People have different views and you aren't going to get along with everyone. The meaning of being in a guild is to have a common idea of what you want and a common goal. If I were running a guild it would be people who enjoy playing their main, don't mind passing gear to mains who contribute over alts, people who are fun to shoot the shit with in vent and look out for each other and last of all people who aren't looking for just status, loot and engage in training other people for loot or whatever. There is a difference between holding a grudge, which means you hate someone and hold ill-will towards them because of a past event. And thinking of people as competition due to the fact that they don't agree with your guild stance and are out for their benefit of people over your true friends. Also wanted to add I didn't really start with the "enemy" thing, that was actually a guild member of yours.I don't hold grudges in game but you can't just let everyone who has different reasons for playing.
