Good evening, Norrath. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration - whereby those important events of the past, usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, are celebrated with a nice holiday - I thought we could mark this the 2nd suspension of the year, a week that will be remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.
There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now orders are being shouted into telephones and men with pixels will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice...intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance, coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those who are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told...if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it Awakened n Aftermath. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War. Terror. Disease. Risk of losing pixels. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you and in your panic, you turned to the now Lead GM Sirken. He promised you order. He promised you peace. And all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consen to not petition him with nonsense. Last night, I sought to end that silence. Last night, I destroyed Lord yelinak to remind this server of what it has forgotten. More than 19 years ago, a great server wished to embed Everquest forever in our memory. The hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice and freedom are more than words - they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of these raid guilds remain unknown to you, then I would suggest that you allow this week to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek...then I ask you to stand beside me, one year from tonight, outside the gates of ToV. And together, we shall give them a raid that shall never, ever, be forgot! | ||

Slim dinosaurs such as Compsognathus and Ornithomimus were among the fastest dinosaurs. However, the cheetah can run faster than any dinosaur that existed. Some scientists believe that Tyrannosaurus rex may have been able to run as fast as 18 mph (28 km/h). Other scientists believe it could not run at all because it was so big.

This is what happens when you let A-Team get epics.
Back in the day we never let filthy casuals get pixels. Like peasants during fuedal times, we knew casuals needed to be kept in a state of perpetual pixel deficiency, other wise they might start to question their place in the natural order. We worked hard and sacrficed to ensure this server remained a place of haves and have nots. Countless hours of poopsocking, gimmicky strategies, straight up cheating.. we took pride in maintaining the seperation of hard-core and casual.. the way it should be. You new jacks who have taken over stewardship of this raid scene have let down those of us who went before you. DA never let Divinity get dragon haste, IB never let BDA get dragon or god kills, yet here you guys are letting no name guilds get ToV kills? For shame. I don't know exactly when it happened, but I think TMO's fall from grace opened the door for A-Team to get epics, and it has all be downhill from there. Now the peasants are in open revolt, demanding things like mobs and loot, when they should be off farming VP key pieces so hardcore people don't need to waste their time camping PS for their 6th VP key. You lifted the boot of oppression from the throat of casual raiders, and have no one to blame but yourselves. Instead of flippantly suggesting the casuals eat cake, you actually gave them cake, and they developed a taste for it. | ||

Rustle is the model all guilds should strive to be, from their leaders being staples and proven playmakers to the policies that hit the guild in its core. Nothing is perfect but the amount of progression a guild like rustle has shown compared to others means others should take note.
I'm not an officer and I got two st keys now. A couple bis, primal, and other loot. You get what you put into rustle be it a warm body or an fte'r. Bids are also in the open so you know who your bidding against. I think that was the top thing people liked when they switched to us. No more mystery or tracking dkp no life's winning based off of screen sharing. We also don't care to lock down everything , just ask us for advice / help concerning any raid targets, I know a few who helped coth smaller guilds up to trips and doubles since some expressed they don't have the means to get deep in ntov. That's just one example xD Ps bigmoney you can politely go fuck yourself. Make sure you fraps it. | ||
