Sounds right but when you look at it R&F ussually has more people looking through it than any other part of the forum. Slippery just got done saying how he was able to get a officer / 60 cleric to remove himself (implying he has authority), and quickfingers starts every post and also shouts in zone after a trak kill how the competeing guild is horrible. I just assume this is who you guys allow to speak for the guild since they never STFU. NEVER go full retard TMO
While these things do happen they aren't always completely accurate or cover the full scope of the situation.

For example: although Slippery did incite Relapsee to the final racist outburst that was actually caught, logged, and reported not only to the officers but the GMs, he was kicked off of the server in attempts to just shut him up but was ultimately removed from the guild when he decided to continue to log back in and spam guildchat with colorful remarks. The previous few days had fielded a few complaints here and there but nothing serious. When it got to the point of obvious drunken rage he was removed.

As far as Quickfingers is concerned he was reprimanded. That was indeed uncalled for but not necessarily unprovoked. Having members of an opposing guild porting you across the world as a "joke" is more serious to some than to others (especially when it was under the guise of forming an experience group) and in Quickfingers' case he lashed back. I don't blame him for that, but his outburst surely doesn't represent the guild as a whole because not all of us were ported to Toxxulia Forest. In the past there have been shouts such as, "You feel as if you are about to fail," a wordplay reference based on the message a player receives when the levitation spell is about to fade. This was a common theme in the early days of the server by players of IB (and probably other guilds but I only saw reference to it once when Hasbinbad joined our guild and shouted it back at IB... I asked him what it was about and requested he stop.. turns out it was a pasttime of the early raiding days on P99). What Quickfingers said was much more blunt and abrasive, but insults are surely nothing new to this server and the population at large, and I'd probably lash out too.... probably more subtly.


In short, just because you notice these players posting in a no rules section of the forum doesn't mean 1) you know anything about them other than what they publicly admit 2) should make judgements about them 3) should make judgements about their guild as a whole. If you are looking for a spokesman of TMO, as I said, I'd probably talk to an officer... that might be much more fruitful than coming to RnF for all of your information.

I think the object of R&F is just to troll each other and see who snaps first. If anyone takes it seriously to the point of mashing keys, then they need to step back.

The only thing that gets me is when people make fake accounts and post. If you're going to do it, show who you are.

2) should[n't]* make judgements about them
*edited to shouldn't to properly reflect your meaning as without the rest of the quote, saying "should make judgement about them" is the exact opposite point you're trying to make.

Wait, so we shouldn't judge people based on the things they say and do? O_o

While I disagree with a few of the points you were trying to make (you make it sound like we maliciously targeted poor Quickfingers with the Toxx thing and completely gloss over the fact that it was just a continuation of a long series of events that included numerous instigating posts by Quickfingers directed towards the people who did the porting) - all and all commendable post and it is nice to see your excessive exposure to Durison and Co. hasn't completely sapped you of all your common sense.
