Interesting because Kat says it all happened before she joined, and I thought she'd been there for awhile now...
Just wanted to elaborate on this a tad Court. I was in OH from it's inception the beginning of last March until the end of August of 2005. Then I made the very big mistake of jumping ship when something happened internally and it was decided to break the shell. No drama there guys, so please don't jump to any conclusions. Anyway, I made a promise to one of my so-called friends (who I found out recently is truly not) that if I joined his shell, I would not go back to OH if the shell ended up not breaking for 6 months. Well, I fulfilled my promise even though I didn't end up staying in his shell. My word is my word as much as possible. Also, I wasn't positive at the time whether I even wanted to go back into endgame. So I basically for lack of a better word, wandered for awhile. Therefore, that's where my statement came from. I've just recently gone back to OH within the past month, mebbe 5 weeks now.
I'm not goin' to discuss anything else on this thread because the matter has been addressed within the shell and that is where it should remain.
I'd like to address Almaut for just a tad here. As Fire has said himself, those were his personal views in those PM's not those of OH members. Granted, I do not get to play as often as I used to within the past year because of rl, but I do want to back Fire and the others who posted that it wasn't discussed in the shell. I do believe those PM's were two friends discussing a subject, and Neo, nothing personal, but I feel you betrayed Fire's trust by firstly posting them on your LS website, and then Almaut taking it further by posting them publicly here. Personally Almaut, I feel you should have spoken to Fire privately. You wanted drama imo, therefore you brought it to the boards.
A lot of you people on these boards I've done ingame things with over the past two years. A lot of you I consider friends and I've done Rank Missions, ZM Missions, and other things with. Some of you, like Nasya for example, I've never even spoken to ingame, yet I do have a ton of respect for you. Some of you, I can honestly say I don't really care for one way or the other, but you can't get along with everyone. My point in all this is, that's just me personally. The majority of us posting here have been a community at qcdn since, for myself, June of 2004. Some of you even longer. We used to do a ton of stuff together. All of us. We really need to stop this pettiness and come together again. Competition is a good thing, but when it starts getting ugly, that's when we truly need to step back and rethink things.
I have people who I was close to 2 years ago that I am now no longer friends with because of all this stupid fighting. I'd also like it known, I am not condoning any 3rd party programs with I've said above. Personally myself, I can't even use windower on my comp or fraps for that matter. The only thing I've ever been able to actually use is that map thingy Nicolette posted, and I thank goodness for that. It's been a lifesaver for me more than once recently. What I am saying is we all need to just stop for awhile with all the betrayal we are doin' to each other.
Lastly, whether y'all want to call me a cheat, or Uz, or whoever are in the OH linkshell because of some things that have recently, and I do mean recently discovered, then so be it. I love these people who I log on with when I get to play this game, and I will forever remain loyal to them. I stayed loyal to them for the 6 months I was away from them, and I will remain that way, until the day I finally decide I've had enough and leave FFXI forever.
