The best way to get promoted in any guild is to work your ass off helping people from day one.

No guild leader is going to look at someone and say "hmm.. I wonder if we promote them if they'll start helping?"

But they do in fact look over their guild and go "hey.. so and so really has been working hard to make this guild a better place. they deserve a promotion."

Don't wait to be promoted to help.. and this doesn't just apply to this guild. this applies to any guild you go to.

everyone has valid points, and I'm not going to get dragged into the war. so.... here I am... *holds up white flag* heh.. I'm free to listen if ANY of you want to talk, and I'm more than happy to comment on anything, but I am a mediator if nothing else.

I didn't confuse it I promise Garou. I really didn't. All my original comment is based on the fact that in private messages and on my story its been 'Oh wow .. were sorry to see you go' and then nothing else. ICly I KNOW some of you had problems with Eve. I'm not blind. But no one was posting it. So for that Garou I aplaud you for being standup and posting what you did.

Well this will prolly be my last post as no one has commented to any thing i have said or acknowledged me and im sure i know why. And no this isnt complaining its just stating a fact.

All i want to say is eve i thanked you every chance i got. And you know i was greatful for the Kara runs and the fact that you stayed up... which i personally thought was nuts but thats what yo felt you needed to do so i supported it. And id hope that my thanks for your help in chara and other things was apparent in the fact that i did try to keep things up. I happily took the reins when you couldnt make it to kara that one sunday... lot of good that did but oh well haha, as well as very happily took leadership for premade nights. And im not looking for a pat on the back just wanting you all to know thats why i did it i was trying ot help the guild and support eve. And one thing id really really like to address as im not sure who thinks this or not, I was never whining about eve getting promoted, never. I saw what she did and agreed with it. What i asked in ooc was what did i need to do to get my own promotion. I wanted to know what work i needed to do and was going to be very willing to do it.

I had put almost a year into this guild when i was promoted and i was thankfull for it. And i will say this here and now.... I never wanted cleric. Never. I didnt need that power nor did i want to have to deal with the responsibilities. What the clerics had to do and deal with is way more than i want bite into. I was a guild leader once for the Blood Howl Conclave i know what that entails and its not fun.

Look i wont lie i know at this time i am not well liked. Nor do i blame any of you. I know why and i will not state it here on the boards. But i want this to be public here and now. I am so extremely sorry about my involvment in what happened in the last week or so. I really am. It was never suposed to happen. I go day to day now knowing what i did and i feel like shit absolute shit. I wronged some one very unintentionally and did it in one of the classic ways. I was trying to defend them. Trying to open up peoples eyes to the truth. And it back fired like none other. I carry this weight of betrayal and will because i broke a huge promise to a friend and i really hate my self. Im not looking for forgiveness or redemption. Not in the least. Just know, and believe me if you want or dont believe me, i know the truth, I said what i said with the best of intentions, and i am soo sorry that the results of my intentions were the worst they could be.

So there you go. My two cents to this all and my confession. I will not say anything more. My parting words to you all is this, Thank you for the great time in this guild i really enjoyed it all, through the ups and downs. And i am being very serious about this. So soo long and thanks for all the Fish.

First of all, I wouldn't say you are not well liked, Ael, I think that is very untrue. In fact, I can't think of one person who doesn't like you. If I know what you are talking about with the betrayal (and I'm pretty sure I do know, considering I went to lengths doing the same thing), I'm sure enough in what has happened since in saying that no one holds feelings against you for it. If they knew what happened, as a few do with me, then they won't and certainly shouldn't care.

The best intentions, I'm postive, were indeed in your mind, as they were mine when I did almost the same exact things. I also have similar, if not equal, feelings of regret for my actions. Altogether, from what I understand, most sensible people have forgiven you, if any forgiving was actually necessary.

Anyway, to get off that subject I may well be completely wrong about, I will miss you, man, some of the most among the people disbanding from the Cult. Hopefully we can stay in touch, if only through Mitor.

Have fun in your adventures away from Luukos.

getting mad about someone who hasn't been in the guild a long time being promoted to officer status over you is silly. The amount of work put into the guild is a much bigger factor for picking officers then time spent. Plus... and this really is true whether people believe it or not.... being an officer is NOT an honor or a reward. It is more of a curse. Being an officer is a thankless job. It requires work, out of game time, and less fun playing time.

So don't get mad if someone is promoted to officer over you. just think, "phew someone else gets to go the hard work so i can have fun'.
I couldn't have said it any better my man. It's a hard job for sure. It's even harder staying motivated to keep on keeping on.

People hating other people IC was when the guild began it's downward slide. That's when the drama began. Yes it all started IC, but then the IC chat became nothing more than bickering. It really got annoying.

I'm not saying that's what YOU did, but it did definetly happen by others. I never wanted to control other people's story lines but I will definetly say in the beginning EVERYONE got along. That's part of what made the guild great.

As BB regrows the guild he should definetly rewrite the guild rules and state that "Hate for ones guild mate is not an acceptable story line as Luukos demands followers blind to his will and his will alone. All others will be removed from the guild."

For example Ibarruri's character was very antagonistic. I respect the player immensely although I never really got to know her as a player. And while Iba was in the guild she sparked up an incredible ammount of role play within the guild and outside the guild and while I believe she did this for purely good reasons, I do feel the antagonism and bickering that the RP evolved into wasn't of any benefit to the guild and was completely counter productive. I tried putting a stop to it without "clamping down" on anyones RP style but to be brutally honest... while she was in the guild it seemed like if she didn't spark up some RP there was NO RP.

That's just one example. I'm not putting anything on her shoulders.

BTW while I am not at all missing this game... I am missing many of you who I had come to know. Unfortunately at the end many of the new comers I really never took the time to get to know because I knew in my mind for several months I was on my way out. Plus the guild just got to a point where it was no longer intimate. That's when cliches (cliques?) developed because it became impsosible to know everyone.

I miss the fun we once had as a guild before running the guild became a job for myself and the other leaders, before people complained and whined that we didn't do enough of this or enough of that, but then never took initiative to start their own events or runs or what ever.

I really do miss playing with alot of you and although I only left a few months ago MOST of my memories of this game are good ones.

I suppose that's a good a reason as any to start over. Let's hope it doesn't become impersonal again; in fact, one of my favorite things in a guild is a small member count, or joining a new guild so that you can know everyone.

Naa no way I am returning to this game at this time unless something drastically changes. What is that something? I dunno, it could be a change in me, perhaps a change in the game mechanics, but I've no plans on returning to such a pile of horse plop.

ya... I agree with this. The entire storyline of my guild (RoS)was two factions that were tied together in the same guild and couldn't separate but that hated each other and were in comepetition with each other. It was GREAT for Rp and great for stories but it was DOOMED to fail. Even though the drama was IC it was still drama and drama is bad for guilds. Even IC drama. RoS failed and IF (I say if cus I don't know as I am not a cultist) the cult was going through what RoS went through then Battlebones should be applauded for taking steps to stop it.

ya know.... I am on my way out too. Wow really has become a pile of horse plop to me. Much like crack, I find myself playing because I want that same high (excitement) that I got on my first hit (play session). But much like crack it will never be as good as it used to be. lol.

For me the game loses it's appeal at about level 50-60 when it becomes all about gear and progression.

Para..... are you playing anything else? I just (finally) checked out Age of Conan and it looks like it might be ok. Still undecided though.

Nothign now with no definites on the horizon. For now I am enjoying my new house, taking my daughter on walks around the block, and cutting up some wood in the garage as my inventory of power tools grows and grows.

I'm keeping up on the progress from Hero's Journey by Simutronics and have high hopes it will be a premiere RP game. It's still in early development but I have requested to be a beta tester and in the Hero's council to help steer the direction of the game, basically giving advice in the form of surveys etc...

I know what you meant about the crack though. I remember my first warsong gulch experience and sought that same edrenaline high ever since. But the more I got into the game tryign to get better to do better, it was obvious it was ALL about gear and not much more. Once I relaized I'd never be the best and was doomed to just spending time in losing BG's to get marks, that was the end for me.

I clung to the role play and to the people in the guild as my last thread, but that snapped under the pressurs of the real world when buying my new house and realizing that WoW really didn't matter to me any more at all. I even clung on a few more days after my wife bought me a sweet new monitor. We were joking last night that I never use the computer anymore since she bought the monitor and pretty much she's right. So I have a top of the line gaming rig just sitting idle in my basement.

heh.. ya. thatis why I am holding off on upgrading my comp too....or buying AoC as well. I'd be pissed if I went and spent another 500 bucks or so on this and then still didn't play. I'll check out Hero's Journey too maybe. Another game that looks very promising is Earthrise, which is a futuristic sandbox mmo. No levels, no grind, no classes. You pick the skill sets you want. You level skills by using them. There are two factions but free for all pvp (with consequences). However, it is very early in development so who knows if the company can deliver on it's promises.

I am jealous of your garage!! The place I am in right now has no shop so I have no place to put or use my tools. It sucks.

WTB The Cult pre BC. Those where the glory days. Back in the days when BB was like level 30. slowpoke. When running an instance required my shammy as the tank because we really had none. Those where the days when I enjoyed the Cult. I miss the old school Cultists. Those where reason why I decided to leave. CoL wasn't what it used to be and I needed to find something new.

Yes, a thread Rez!

Hey Everyone,


How's everyone doing?

I just wanted to echo what Mujin said here, as I just checked this board for the first time in like 3 years. Back when I was playing in this guild, it was a fantastic time. The first time I went raiding with Para and Mujin in Arathi Highlands, was a blast. It's cool to see the boards are still here, even if I've been off WoW for two years or so.
