"Well, G, you have admitted to being highly prejudiced against guilds. You seem to hate any and all guilds. While this may be based on good information, the fact remains that not all guilds are bad. As I have said, you are all the worse with a bad opinion in your head."
And this is why people here despise guilds, in a nutshell. You can sit and argue and defend and puff your chest out and cite as fact that which is no more than opinion all you want, but the REAL fact remains: if you wish to prove that your guild is "different" or "better" or "not a bad guild," then the way to go about is IS to PROVE it via actions, not just try and convince us with the same tired claims we've heard from other organizations... which
have all borne out to be the same old tripe.
Regards,
Ian Rex.

Well, if you have looked at my guild's actions, you'll see that we have little or no infighting or other 'bad' actions. It strikes me as fair if you LET us prove ourselves with actions. So far, we have done little to make people hate us, other than being called a 'guild'.
Lupton.
<<It's been so long since I've beheaded an idiot duelist.>>
Well, I daresay that you won't have an easy time beheading me, so you'll have to wait much longer.
G,
<<Doesn't matter when you wrote it, what metters is when I read it, and what I saw. I was making a statement based on what I saw when I saw it.>>
Well, I made that statement before Ian was posting, and if you read it after he began posting, that is another wrong idea in your otherwise empty head.
<<Incorrect. You say you lead a guild. Then you admit to being a fool.>>
Another wrong idea. Especially because I do not *lead* the guild, but lead *part* of it. Understand?
<<Then prove me wrong, which I doubt you can do.>>
Oh, I can and will.

Simple. If you though I had very little idea of him, based on my statement, then that automatically tells me that he isn't someone who the average guy would like to cross. However, I am *Not* the average guy and can cross him without fear.

Either you vastly over-estimate yourself, or you really are the idiot that others are claiming you to be.
If you make the above claim based on your dueling skills, then I tend to believe it is the later.

That claim is not based on my dueling skills, nor am I 'the average Rhydin peasant'. No, I have something much more....

"It strikes me as fair if you LET us prove ourselves with actions."
Then get to it. Currently, all you're doing is proving that you're just like any other guild mouthpiece, which is the point I was trying to impart to you.
"Simple. If you though I had very little idea of him, based on my statement, then that automatically tells me that he isn't someone who the average guy would like to cross. However, I am *Not* the average guy and can cross him without fear."
Fear has very little with why most people don't like to cross me. Very, very little indeed. Though in some cases, admittedly, it should...

Perhaps I should make *myself* clear. Bias may have a *small* part in my view, but I do not believe there is a single being, alive, dead or in-between, that would wish to cross Ian.
Don't ever say I didn't warn you.

Contrary to your belief, we ARE trying to prove ourselves.
As for my acting like a guild mouthpiece, well, I'm not voluntarily doing this, I'm doing it because if people post things about our guild thzat go unanswered, how would that look? Much, much worse....

Why, he has a guild to back him up, and surely they'll declare war on Ian and anyone else whom they're not afraid of crossing.
Didn't you know?

Oh my god.
I actually like one of Luptons baiting jobs. Wow, this guild guy took the bait like a trout on a summer day in the middle of a lake at sunrise. While Lupy reeled him in effortlessly.
As they would say in another sport, Guildie..
