Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dirk Graves of the Demon Hunter Masters Guild will be facing off against three opponents; Aki, Jayde, and the notorious Glashan! See the legend himself in action in what promises to be one of his most challenging battles yet! Be ready to watch all the long-posted, heavily strategic action on Sunday, 4:00 PM EST!

If you keep an eye on the member count, you'll notice that it's dropped- a lot. There's a good reason for this. A lot of members of the Ramen Noodle School of Martial Arts have been inactive. I've tolerated this a lot, it's true. Reason being, I don't like banning people. It makes me feel uncomfortable. So up until now, I've only banned users when they become troublesome.

However, this is springtime, and springtime means spring cleaning. So, I've gone through the guild's roster and checked the names of everyone I didn't know personally. Any member of the guild who has not logged on to Gaia since before February 11th of 2005 have been banned from the guild. There were a few exceptions. Out of the remaining members, a number are in danger of being banned as well. At the end of March, I will check again and ban anyone who either:

A) Has not logged on to Gaia since before the month of March 2005
or
B) Has made absolutely no posts in the Ramen Noodle School of Martial Arts.

There may be some exceptions, but do not assume you will be one of them. I'm very, very serious about this. I want all members to start working on posting on a regular basis. I will be observing what goes on and, if necessary, I will be implementing stricter, harsher rules. I don't want to have to do that, guys. Get your act together and I won't need to.

You might've noticed that there's less posting, lately... even from me. In fact, I haven't posted at all in over a week. So... why?

Well, I'd like to say it's because I've been busy with stuff IRL. I'd like to say that, but I'd be lying. Actually, I've been here, I just can't post. My character is sort of dead... sort of. X_X'' Not dead dead, but close enough that I have to wait for him to get brought back.

There's another reason I haven't been posting... after all, it's not like I don't have other accounts I could be using. I'm getting tired of Gaia. Lately, it just hasn't been fun anymore. In all honesty, a large percentage of you guys (and you know who you are) are just plain jerks. Others of you are selfish idiots. Nowadays, the only times anyone takes a personal interest in me is when someone takes up a job to kill me. And while I'm on the subject... what's up with that? I never even leave my damn guild, how am I enough of a threat to warrant all of the assassins? Because I "know too much"? Please. Jeg, everyone and their grandmothers knows your "secret plans". Get a life.

So... basically, it just isn't worth it anymore. I tried very, very hard to build a place where people could have fun roleplaying together, but a lot of you are too tied up in your 'evil plots' to care about other people. I haven't decided for sure whether I'm leaving, and if I do, I don't know what will happen to the school. If anyone cares, I'll figure something out. To be honest, I doubt anyone does.

firt things first, i lub juu yertle! heart

next, i want to extend my apologies for not being here. ic and ooc reasons id rather not go into. ic, miya has been trapped in a strange little place, and finally got out. anyways, i have just been so busy with school and stuff, studying for tests and what not. i honestly havent even had time to sleep...not that i do that anyways. anyways, hope you uys forgive me absence.

also, i have to agree with Orb that a bunch of people in here can be a bunch of assholes. not naming names, but you know who you are. what started out as just a place to have fun and hang out has become somewhere where people just make others angry or try to kill them. its ridiculous.

LASTLY ((i know your all sitting there thinking "thank god she's done!")), i just want to say that even thought im not here half the time, i really care about what happens to this guild, and i dont want it to just wither away. Orb put a lot of time and effort into creating this guild, and WE ((yes me included)) dont show near enough appreciation as we ought to. he does so much for us, and half of the time we are too busy thinking about our own lifes, or plot lines, or whatever else to acknowledge everything that he does.

ok, i lied, one more thing. i also want to apologize for an increase in my bitchiness over the past few weeks. ive been having a hard time, and i dont mean to take it out on the people around me. i really care for all my friends, and im sorry if i siad something to anyone that made them think that i was angry at them specifically. that was not my intention, and i feel aweful about it. anyways, yes, im done now.

Nah, I'm alive now. Slightly disgruntled with Gaia still, and spending a lot less time on it... but alive.

On that note, since I just got finished with a HUGE Orb-based storyline, I'm giving the little guy a break for a while. ^^" For the next while or so, I'm going to be working on Dorn, and his story... and particuarly, the entries in Dorn's Journal.

And speaking of which, there are some new ones. ^_^' I left off in Insect Meadow, with the Naming... since then, I've picked up the thread and have taken Dorn through the imposing woods of Lethesylvania. Stay tuned, as coming up next will be Tweedledee and Tweedledum... xd whee

woohoo! the party was all here...at...one..point or another...oh well. just checking in. but now i have to run, so adios for now...again! sweatdrop

As you can see the number of members has increased....and the posts in the guild are slowly increasing. With the end of school already here, more people should be coming back and posting more often in order to keep this guild alive. I've been trying to contact Orb about guild matters for some time now but I've been unsuccessful thus far. Keep Jerrit's dream of a peaceful guild on Gaia alive so we can possibly make a difference.
