I saw this coming from a mile away. While a lot of people might not like Khajit, he IS a good guy. He's been constantly shit on by a few people in lolD, accusing him of being disrespectful, rude, and misogynistic. He's been the target of a lot of comments for the almost year I spent in that shell. The points he accumulated should have been proof enough that he had dedicated himself to the shell, and he still did continue to attend on a regular basis, lolD was never short on members until more recently with all the drama that's been brewing. To be honest, Khajit had better attendance than a select few of the leaders, some who had valid reasons, others not.
The only explaination i can see here lyrai is that you've had your head in the sand, or are specifically choosing not to see the things khajit has done which has upset
the majority of the shell, not "a few people" as you state. Khajit has been with lolD a long time, so of course he has accumulated a lot of points. He has also accumulated a lot of "black marks" against himself for disrespecting the shell, it's members, it's policies, and exploiting a rule system for his own gain. It is one to be missing a run due to RL, it is quite another to skip a run to go farm, or to level another job while not only sitting in LS and chatting, but aggrivating, taunting and showing general disrespect to the shell and it's members. This is the very thing Khajit has done time and time again.
Kohra, you should really know better than to stick your nose where it doesn't belong. I've put up with your attitude for long enough. I've been nothing but nice to you but you've also directed yourself at me. And as for "voting" on removing members? What about the time you broke my pearl and kicked me off the LS website RIGHT before a run? Nothing said to me, completely uncalled for. You decided to drag business from another shell that I led, into lolD where you had power. I got repearled of course, but you're a hypocrite for saying that every member removed requires a vote. You yell at Khajit to come THF, and deny him coming on his other character, and then yell at him saying he never uses his BRD.
Where exactly am i sticking my nose where it doesn't belong Lyrai? Currently i have been taking over the duties Jescer performs in this shell. The order of leadership in this shell is as follows, according to Gladdy, the shell holder: Gladdy #1, Jescer #2, Kohra #3, Galiant #4. So, this thread IS my busy, and my duty to set the record straight. Funny, i don't see you on that leadership list. You also have not shown up to the last 5 runs? We've assumed you've left the shell. It seems that out of the two of us, it is you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. However, this being a public forum, you're free to voice your opinions, as am i, regardless of my leadership/member status in lolD.
In regards to your removal from lolD, this was due to a communication error. While i was searching for another HDD to replace the one that went tits up in my PS2, there was a huge drama explosion that you were at the very heart of in lolWTF, the sky offshoot of lolD. It was my understanding that during that time, Gladdy booted your from BOTH his shells, but as you had logged out, had not been able to break your pearls. As a result, we tried to salvage the remnants of lolWTF by remaking the shell as lolORZ. So naturally, when i saw you in lolD, i broke your pearl, thinking that was what Gladdy had wanted. Of course nothing was said to you. When dealing with someone that has the potential to cause as much drama and issues as you have shown, you don't give that person warning that thier pearl is about to be broken so they can quickly switch shells to avoid it. Did i make a mistake? yes i did. Were you repearled? yes you were. It had nothing to do with "power". If i was power hungry, i'd be a sack in a lot more shells than just lolD. I don't crave leadership. i perform leadership duties in lolD because i agreed to and more and more responsibilities have fallen on my lap. I go out of my way to be a good leader, and yes, i consider myself one. i don't mix personal opinions with leadership descisions. There have been several things regarding descsions that i felt a need to withhold my vote on simply because i felt it would be biased.
I've never "yelled at khajit" to come any job. his alt is his brd, he only uses azamaria for glassing purposes. I don't expect anyone to use their alt in dynamis ever, period. So there wouldn't have been a time i would have "yelled at him" for not bringing brd.
What's with your presence on QCDN now anyway Kohra? You've come out of the woodwork and declared yourself to be such a great representative of lolD. Those of us who were actually 'in' the shell, know you as nothing more as a mouthpiece. The one who snapped at people left and right when they didn't obey your every command. You force people to come on the jobs they hate, yet you get to come on your Almighty DRK every run, because your BLM has no gear (except for all the relic you've collected), your THF that has no buffer, or your "farming BRD." Your DRK isn't even that great, and if anyone even mentions parsing your DRK, you'll always force disconnect.
I've developed an interest in qcdn. is there some rule i'm not aware of the forbids me from doing so? I'm here on the boards representing mostly myself. Obviously i'm representing lolD in this thread because it is a flame against the shell.
Sorry you see me as a "mouthpiece" but this is not at all surprising coming from you, seeing as we don't exactly share opinions.
Most people who know me, are aware that i fail at multitasking. i don't have time for typing out long eloquent sentences to appeal to sensitive souls. most of the things i type in LS during a run are quick 1-5 word commands. for example: "Sleeps" "Smns inc, sleep avatar" "pulling, everyone up" and so on. They are also usually in caps, not because i am yelling, but because i need my message noticed between that chitchatting taking place on ls at the time. Could this come accross as "snapping at people"? i don't doubt it. Is that what i'm actually doing? no. During a dynamis run, with the speed at which we pull, there isn't time to have a discussion about what needs to be done. People need to obey commands and act immediately. Failing to do so results in unnecessary deaths and/or mistakes. I'm sorry if you haven't come to this realisation yet.
When organizing parties for dynamis runs, there are key jobs we require based on the style of our shell. We rely quit heavily on blms to take care of stones, particularly in northlands. We require rdms for sleeps and refresh, and a brd or two for the blms. Do i force some people to change to the jobs we need even though they may not want to? yeah i do. Welcome to end-game. I also go out of my way to avoid pidgeon-holing people on one specific job.
Yes, i retired my blm about 8 months ago and sold all my non-rare/ex gear because i had been pidgeon-holed in every endgame event i was doing as coming blm. MY drk(which is my main) never saw the light of day outside of an endgame enviroment. Unfortunately, being pidgeon-holed into certain jobs is a product of end-game life, so i took steps which ensured that would no longer happen. You yourself have taken similar steps regarding your whm, the difference being that i actually DID retire blm and sold all my blm gear, whereas you decided to keep your gear.
I come to Dynamis as either thf to pull or drk for DD, depending on what's needed. My brd has no gear and is lvl 73. i use it for farming.
In regards to force D/Cs, i live in a city with a university and a college. The ISP options here ALL have connection issues due to volume and i can d/c at any time. Because i am on PS2 i cannot parse myself, so i am always interested when someone else is parsing. I've even requested friends if they could get a parser going so i can see how i'm doing. Of all the parses i've seen, or been told about, i'm usually up at the top positions. I think i do fairly well on my drk, and i play it because i enjoy it. Whether or not it's any good is a basis of opinion. If your opinion is that it's not very good, who am i to say otherwise?
Shells change, RL lives of players, both members and leaders often interfere with game time. People come and go. As Audino has said, there is no perfect system, and lolD will never make everyone happy. Leaders are only human after all, and we all make mistakes, myself included. Removing Khajit from the shell was deemed a necessity by the leadership based on his actions.
