Yup.

...

I had previous insight into the history of the characters and the path the story was going to take, but I had no idea it was going to be like that.

Wow.

*stands up and claps enthusiastically*

Silly nonsense? Consider how it got started.

You can see coming from a mile off? Consider the post (and poster) that was the catalyst. Did you really think that calling the server cliquish and socially inept was going to ingraciate yourself to the server's population?

Collective being right? I pointed it out. Not the "collective". I acted of my own iniative. Not the collective. Appealing to the "public" that you just insulted? Think about that... you just said the population server was "bad", I called you on it, and now you're appealing to the same population. Where is the sense in that?

Why are you trying to position yourself as the victim following an inflammatory post that you made?

Don't answer that last question. It was rhetorical.

Don't let it go. You still haven't learned. I didn't say it because I was trying to be inflammatory. I was telling you BECAUSE IT'S TRUE! The fact that you posted the inflammatory comment and the fact that I put it back in your face should tell you as much.

Until you accept it, learn how to deal with it, and fix yourself, it will still be true.

I don't want you back. And I'm willing to guess that those that you have insulted don't either. The problem isn't Protector, it's you.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing"

I'm not a good man, but I'm not going to let this stand.

Silas, I'm going to state something that needs to be said: Protector isn't socially retarded, you are. Your post is 4 months late and inflammatory.

You need to ask more often. She respects your authority!

I agree wholeheartedly.

The difference between a hero and a villain can be a very thin line.

Indeed.

And now that is done too.

Yes. The raid leader is the coordinator, and Kid does a good job of coordinating the effort. He contributed greatly (dare I say co-wrote) to the Hamidon Raid guide that I posted (and we're not quite finished fine tuning it).

It was written and posted to pass on the things that we (collectively) have learned, and techniques that have worked for us. Hopefully, someone will find it useful and they too can be consistently successful.

I (and although I cannot speak for the other raid team leaders, I am sure they feel the same way) am more than willing to assist someone else who would like to lead a team or even lead a raid.

With that, my first unsolicited suggestion is this: bring all of your patience, all of your charisma, and as many calm, confident, competent associates with you. Hamidon raids can be either things of beauty when things go well, or traumatic and frustrating experiences when things don't progress smoothly.

My second unsolicited suggestion would be to start off by volunteering to lead the Spike team, then the general assault team, then the Yellow Mito Aggro team, the Hamidon Aggro Team, and finally coordinate the entire raid. Trying to lead the entire thing can be an extremely daunting experience when trying to control your own character, lead your team (whatever their focus), and lead the other teams. Kid is able to manage the Hamidon Aggro Team, be the Hamidon Taunter on that team, and be the raid coordinator, but it isn't necessary for those three roles to be the same person.

And my final unsolicited suggestion is: bring a lot more EoEs than you think you need.

Is that your way of volunteering to lead a Raid in Kid's (for this week) and my absence (the following two weekends)?
