It's ok Xasten, nobody really sees you as a troll or thinks you're playing the long game in RnF with your posts.

We all think you're built of high moral fiber and that your posts and the concern for others you show in them are 100% genuine and that you have nothing to gain by making said posts.

You're not a weasly-wordsmith who always has his thesaurus at ready and attempts to batter people with his self-assumed greater intelligence and vocabulary. In fact we celebrate your very existence for being such a down to earth and well reasoned fellow.

Maybe we like you so much because you only have one forum account and despite your guild publicly upsetting you in RnF on countless occasions you stick to them and remain loyal because there is a "net positive impact" for your own self.

You are a true hero and inspiration to all who play this game, we can never truly thank you enough for your enlightening opinion and though provoking discourse.

Please accept my apology.

It's pretty obvious that RnF crawlers take things way too far. Asking them to stop will do nothing but worsen the matter. Continuing to contribute to this section of the forums, despite your attempt to sound compassionate and genuine, will only lead to your own downfall, as there is only so much wiggle room in this pile of shit before you get it on yourself and start to spread it around.

This external aspect of the game is mostly un-moderated. Add in the aspect of anonymity and surely enough you will have things getting out of control. However, nobody is forced to read through here. The average player is welcome to go about his measly xp crawl in peace without knowing 1/10th of what occurs in this forum section.

TLDR - Opt out of RnF if the drama bothers you.

I have to admit that, after looking at a lot of my posts, I might come across as whining from time to time. I know that, and when I do, I'm ripe for being made fun of. That's fine; if nothing else, it'll keep me sharp. It'll help remind me to stay focused on what's important.

This, all of this, is about putting your best foot forward.

I don't come here looking for some sort of false intellectual validation. (Don't get me wrong, who doesn't love to be told they're right?) I come here because I believe there's something to be gained from engaging a community head-on. While RnF has its regulars, there's a lot of lurking, and the community takes note of what people say and do when they're in a relatively consequence free environment.

I value TMO as an organization and I'm grateful for the friends I've made within it. I'm going to do what I think is right to help TMO, and the server, prosper. Even if it means upsetting some people within or outside of my guild. I know that your post was sarcasm of the highest sort, but such things do help me keep perspective. So, in a way, thanks. I know that I'm not, in your words, "built of high moral fiber," nor do I expect to be. I just aim to call things as I see them as honestly as I can. Whatever form that takes. Sure, I'll have setbacks. From a PR or political standpoint, Getsome got me good today. I can explain it all I want and give context, but it still might make me look hypocritical. While I stand by what I said, I recognize that it can be used in a way that works against what I want to do. Live and learn I suppose.

You can prod at me, you can call me out, and you can rage all you want. But you'll never change what I do. Actions are what matter, and while I'm not perfect, I'm going to do my level best to help my guild and this server because I value and respect those who make them a better place. Be they publicly requesting that my guildmates exercise a bit more restraint, or publicly admitting that Maverix was right to question my motives, actions are the building blocks of lasting positive change. Bardalicious hit the nail on the head. I can't expect to come here and not get dirty. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Building a house can be hard dirty work, but laying a foundation is important.

Provoke me, poke holes in my arguments, and call me out. These will only bring me back to my roots. At the end of the day, though I may fail, I will have done my best to build something respectable.

Can you say the same?
