Evidently you care enough to consistently air your grievances in vagueTweeting instead of trying in-character venues of conflict resolution. Talking to [person] about [subject] will do a lot more good, and you'll probably be less [emotion] over it.

Nice to go for an uncontested village for the first time in forever (even though we had so many people and probably would have done very well anyway), and to not be stuck in those crazy long peaced revolts like usual. I quite enjoyed playing the role of random anarchist, wandering around and debating for fun.
The monthly 'why do I even play this game' is on me once again.
I have been working really hard on piecing together the ninjakari lore from our pitiful library, ghelp scrolls events posts, what I know about the illithoid, the undervault, with almost no help from older members. I finally get a coherent philosophy that I think is close to our founding principles, and explains how our guild works within Magnagora, and all the stuff that help guildmaster talks about. So I run for GM, and try to start teaching it.
And then suddenly an old guild member wakes up from a long sleep, tells me I'm stupid for wanting to honour the treaty that our city and guild signed with the illithoid, that I shouldn't call Illith 'the great mother' even though everything in our library does. Then he tries to undermine me in front of novices, tells me that everything I believe in is wrong, and tries to get other old people to wake up and support him. And I can't do anything, because I'm not allowed to guilddisfavour people. And now, apparently, I'm being petty and I need to provide logs to prove I haven't been lying about what he's been doing. Sigh.
I'm late but as a former GM, I offer you this advice: Do. Whatever. The. Eff. You. Want.
If people don't like how you lead, they can vote you out. Until then, you're the GM. I can count how many times I asked for permission to do anything as GM on zero fingers.
So much that. I've found the best GMs are the ones that will listen to input, but they are zee dictator and have the final call on any/all things that they do.

We remember your time as Song very differently. Or possibly we just agreed on everything, which is scary.
That said, any guild leader needs authority to act on their own to at least some degree, or everyone will get frustrated and nothing will get done.
And if there's no other active guild leader? Dictate all you want.
My tweet:
Fain's Temple is in disarray. He's not gonna be happy when He comes back. And who's the most active mortal player who should be fixing this stuff?
Sigh.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

Just make one of your alts do it, then Shaddus won't have too....

Cyndarinused Flamethrower! It was super effective.

KISS MY CROWN all over again.

You raided Nil with Celest when it was just Enadonella and me. So.
I have no idea how I got a kill on Tanin there, then. And I'm even more confused to how I killed Ailaesro. Arcanis being there is just a bigger mystery on top of the rest. (Also I'd like to point out you're level 91 and Enadonella's a demigod)
No idea how Camberre got a kill on Ixaxius then. Also, it can be fun. You are in control of your fun zone.
If you wanna cry about it that is on you. The people who have the highest kills on me, are some of the people I adore most in this game. Because they are my challenges, and they spar me and kill me to the point where I am sure they wanna die from boredom. Ask all the decent combatants how much I love to spar...and even die, how stupidly happy I get when we have combative situations occur. You choose how you respond to these situations.
Yeah raids when no one is about or you just don't have the time to deal with it can get annoying. But this is the second time Cambear and I have gone into Etherglom and the last time we did we had Avuvu in tow and I think we all died from memory.
Gotta say, Ena is one of my favorite people to fight. Most of the time, it's like she says. Build to give momentum, wreck her. And then she'll go and do something that I haven't had to deal with often/ever, and I have to adapt. Then we go back to her getting stomped again. But it's been really cool seeing her grow from what I imagined to be panicked keyboard flailing as a Moondancer to where she is now.
That all being said, raid more please when I'm awake. I need to pad my kda xD
Tark. If you want to hit me up with times that work for you, I am totes okay with that (Just not between 4am-9am Aussie time!). I am about to start trying to work on my aliases/trigs for wrack. I am still focused on sacrifice, but I am learning to accept my limits there. -pout-
I should clearly be online all the time to activate the Glomfortress.

To be fair.. it was just @Niico defending.. By the time I got there the fighting stopped. Probably a good thing for me.. Since I know nothing about combat yet.
@Qistrel that actualy means everyone has room to complain about it :P
As a more positive tweet, the ninjas have recently gotten some...interesting characters. It's like Captain Nikka and her motley crew of crazy ninjas.
Am I one of those interesting characters?
A horde of beings swarms about Your bulk. They are diverse in shape but are, without exception, horrific to look upon. Claws and teeth without number flash across Your vision, and nebulous masses of compound eyes and writhing tentacles and spindly antennae all twist around You. With the merest thought, You open wide Your maw and lazily swallow one.

Might not have helped, but then again, might've given me one more attack!
