Hey Xasten, alarti, portsche...old friends

[Nineran]

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.

[Nineran]

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.

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






Really good sex with his hand.

You made five statements. And not one of the them applies to TMO.

You made a sentence showing the opposite point, 0 times. I can start putting in quotes from the TMO members that posted previously.



Why tolerate people that are constant annoyances if you think they contribute nothing to the guild? Or are you just using them for more pixel gain? Not saying Fountree in general, I am saying the people you supposedly tolerate.



You wanted to add, you mouth is also a hole.


Holy shit this guy cares so much.


This says nothing about players personalities and if they are a complete asshat. Just because you get a few solid members that put in time for tracking or whatever it may be. Does that necessarily make them fun to be around and not pixel hungry? No.



Once again not a care in the world about the "type" of players you have but more of the amount of players you have.



If someone who created the guild, spent all the time to create that guild from the beginning to end, they own the guild. It's almost like a company, if a company owner decides he wants to close down shop and switch to a new location after he funded and built the empire from the ground up then that is his choice. The employee's/manager's can TRY and ask to buy the property from him and start it back up. Ultimately, it is his decision. If you wanted to start a new guild with different leadership, and absorb competition that Zeelot was against. Atleast create a new fucking name.



Wait, wasn't the competition FE and IB?

Ill leave you with this, if you merge every time you are about to lose your ranking as a guild, you are not really the same guild anymore. You have a large influx of people that hated each other that are now magically friends over the agreement to get better loot for themselves. Imagine if all the class R guilds decided to merge, the server would pretty much suck and so would that guild.

Ill leave you to your counterpoints now.

The consensus I got from this thread is that TMO- We will put up with just about anyone if that means more loot for us. We consider players a "decent" person or "tolerable" if they are putting in tracking hours and we need the live bodies. I didn't know sitting on your ass all day, jav-spamming makes personality. Definitely a new concept for me.

Not to mention what is more important? Keeping a close group of friends and not 100 random people OR absorbing the competition which you talked shit about for months to secure your place in the top and lose touch with the tight core to acquire more pixels for the guild.

Here's the problem, one promotes friendship and integrity. The other promotes being a vast dickhead to get the items you need, being guilded with people that have trained you in the past, leap-frogged and done whatever in the name of competition.

I am all for competition, but I like having a smaller core, close group of friends who are really decent human beings in game and out. Competition isn't inviting 200 members to make sure you have atleast 50 members online at every respawn.

It's like every big bank corporation in the world. They absorb other banks to keep themselves afloat, print more money when they are low, and shit on the rest of the community to make themselves a little bit richer. It is even worse when you have a guild that was so hungry for loot while being in FE, the second they get into the top position, it makes them feel like AoW laying the smack down on TMO.


BTW the print more money thing is just an example of cut-throat tactics. I'm not saying old TMO was not cut-throat, every guild is, but the difference is the original TMO core had worked their way from being a lower class guild to the top position with the same leadership.

Nah, totally off base. Not even close.

FE wasn't loot hungry, the guild always promoted "friendship and integrity" or whatever. We were tight. That's how we made the move to TMO together. Know how many people we lost to IB when we went to TMO? 2 people. One who was MIA and basically in IB on his other toons the whole time anyway. So we lost one person when we made the move pretty much. I think that speaks volumes about how much of a healthy environment FE had. Not to mention surviving that last summer, while basically killing 1 out of 10 spawns, and still showing up to every batphone. That's not hunger for loot, that's loyalty to your guild.

And TMO isn't a bunch of loot hungry robots that hate eachother. Right now I'm in vent with 20 other tmo bullshitting while we all do our own stuff. It's the same social environment as other guilds, probably more than most. Our tracking channel regularly has 25+ people in it. 80% of them aren't tracking, they're hanging out keeping those who are tracking entertained.

You are probably basing your assumptions on what you hear. Maybe we're guilty of hogging all the mobs, or maybe one of our members trained a friend of yours or something. But one thing we're not guilty of is being antisocial and accepting assholes just to field numbers. It's just not the case.
