Its amazing how serious we take a game, isnt it...


Edited: We can discuss on a daily basis the effects of certain aspects of the game until we are blue in the face, but god forbid we entail a parallel.

>> Granted, this is a game, but imo, Gheris played it right. <<


No, that was a sad, pathetic, and dishonorable thing to do, especially when Hib was so underpopulated.

You guys need some Tampax around here.


Seriously.


Get your free sample here.


Edit - Made it clicky so you wouldn't have to get that mess all over your keys.

The opinion of Gheris within Alb, from what I've seen, has always been split.


Personally, I dont think he's that hot a leader. My respect for him went through the tubes after the BS he pulled "punishing" hib (his word) for DARING to attempt to touch our str relics. That was a real low blow, and I'm proud to say I didnt attend that atrocity. Certainly GHeris has a reasonably high success rate, but that's to be expected with several hundred Albs in tow. The only thing the Alb zerg needs to fear when it's really going is a zone crash.

All any of this has taught me.. is who my friends are.. and who wish to jump on the bandwagon and spread h8 about someone they dont know.


Thank you Tharf, Soeth, Bert, and as always Ked.


much <3 & respect.


the rest of ya.... Heh i logged in today to my guild chat being all crazy happy (we always have fun together, but it was always just TU joking.. tonight was diff).. and /as being happy. I logged in to my guildies having fun and thanking me for pulling us from AWC. SO hate me all ya want.. say whatever ya want.. ill lose the huge alliance.. the goals i set a loong time ago for a unified realm.. the ideals of a huge alliance that works together.. ill lose the people i thought were my friends... and sit at 340k rps forever.. i got a happy guild and thats all i care about. In the end its not a matter of me knowing who my friends are.. its a matter of me standing with my guild and having fun. And if people outside of TU show there colors and still choose to be my friend.. kewl.. the rest of you.. i have no desire to waste another minute of my time to type a damn thing to any of you.


Peace out

You may not agree with Gheris's tactics.

You may not agree with Gheris's strategy.

You may not do the same thing a certain leader does at one point.


But the only ones who earn the right to speak up, are those who have been there leading. It is very easy to kick back and criticize. Step up, lead, then discuss "leadership strategies".


Fact of the matter is, in every run/raid Gheris has ever done, he always gave the credit to everyone who attended, for the greater good of Albion, and did not chest beat and praised himself to high heaven (like what we saw happening last time relics on Lancelot changed hands, nice accomplishment notwithstanding).


Bashing every keep in Hib ? Right decision ? Wrong decision ? It's a done deal. Dead, buried, the doors are fixed now. Move on.


Giving Mid 2 relics after taking them from Hibernia ? Was also a decision a leader made which got criticized to hell and back. And Hibs in turn pulled the exact same strategy later (in the general sense of the word, since Cyce & Co weren't around then personally). Again, this was also strategy, a call made by a leader. And it was the right one to do strategically. I'm still amused at how the two faced people among us still tried to "protect" the Hib move while still trying to fault the Alb one.

Both actions were justified, on the strategy level.


Point is, LEADERS make decisions. Others whine.


Laugh at Legion loot all you want... Before SCing, player made gear and all the leet items we have access to now (inc nerf), people were jumping up and down over Legion loot.


Tharf is 100% correct in his post.


You may like him, you may hate him. Gheris IS a leader.

The definition of a leader boils down, eventually, to who the rest of the people follow, and who people listen to when he or she speaks. Title is irrelevant.

And the fact that you agree or disagree to some of the stuff he did - does not make him any less a leader.


The only people who do not make mistakes, are those who do not make decisions.


Flame on.

Well said Chanst. When I was playing Lancelot I found Gheris to be an OK guy, and people followed him. So I GUESS he did something right, no?


Yes people may have different ideas on how to play this game and those will not always work well together. Fact of the matter is he is roleplaying, instead of going for "HEADSHOT!", "KILLINGSPREE!!!" or "QUADDAMAGE!", in other words play this game as a FPS like UT, Q or CS.


I'm sure he has his faults and I'm sure he made mistakes, but then don't we all. Also I'm very sure he's proud of what he has achieved; unisoning the Albs where 95% of Albs are clueless sheep. So that in itself is an achievement and something to be proud of, I'd be...


How and if he has changed since I've played here I can't nor won't comment on, because I have no first hand knowledge on it. Fact of the matter is it's mighty convenient and easy to stay in the back shouting vulgarities to the ones who are trying to get something done.


Bah

you know there are servers that are specifically made for that type of thing, right?
