Drakar, I don't mind if my name comes up in an argument. I have no problem dealing with anger and animosity if need be, I merely disdain being asked to choose sides or being used as a positive or negative example of how one should act.
I am unlikely to act or react in the same way another would because I am a complete and total weirdo in comparison to anyone I have met. I am not sure you could make me angry even if you wanted to, plus I am usually inebriated.
So, yeah, criticize me, slander me, praise me, hate me or love me, or hell even make shit up about me if you want. I assure you, it will have no affect on me.
Also, everything North said is accurate. We met on Live when I was the guild leader of Hostility and have become good friends in the intervening years. I keep in touch with several members of the guild, most of whom live on the east or west coast while I live in the middle of fucking nowhere in Texas.
I will always consider North my friend, even if he no longer does. It's just how I am. If anyone doesn't like it, well, as I said before, I will gladly give my life for my friends, so a little angry disapproval is perfectly acceptable.
P.S. Character deletion duels are incredibly stupid. Random number generators decide the outcome, not your muscle or your brains. Whether you wind up the victor or the victim is meaningless unless you give it meaning. Be you proud or pissed over it, either way is equally stupid from my perspective.
Plus I would have intervened on behalf or either one of you if you actually planned to delete your character over a duel even if the only course of action was to delete one of mine in exchange. You both just need to smoke more weed and take more Prozac and try EQ with less emotion and more enjoyment. You don't melt the wheelbarrow because you lost to the thimble in Monopoly, do you? Fuck no, you might want to be the wheelbarrow again in the future.
If people have to duel to measure dicks and want some real consequences, like the BS with character deletion (which never happens), you should pick something the GMs can and would enforce. Try a temporary title for the loser like "Soandso's Bitch/Slave/Lackey" or something else both Public but Temporary. There are tons of humiliating things to choose from without losing weeks, months, or even years of effort on your toon. And when you wind up on the losing side, you'll think it's a great alternative.
I will gladly volunteer to be the guinea pig. Slap a title or surname on me that says Sirken's Bitchboy or something, I don't care. It's just a game and if anything it will probably amuse the hell out of me.
