At first I'm like, "God, I'm slacking. This place is dead. The only thing alive is the Parlor. I should post more. Or, I should make a new RP. Or, do something."
Then I was like, "Wait, what are all those threads still doing here? And hey, weren't they going to start the tournament? And oh, that's right, I HAVE an RP here already."
So now I'm like, "Wow, I wasted a few years of my life on this place. Family, yes. But, no more so than my real family, who are pretty much absent most of the time, refuse to focus on anything but the futile, and don't really care about keeping things in working order. And, my real family, well, I moved 2000 miles away from them for a reason. Can't really do that here, since I won't leave gaia. But wow, the forums are REALLY far away from this guild."
I've given so many overly wordy speeches in my time here. The only times this guild ever got active was when something was going wrong. I could easily make some new event for people to get all hyped up about...but it would die out quickly. So, I'm leaving. Mostly for myself, because it's not worth investing so much energy into. I am not leaving any PEOPLE, just the guild itself. Because it's a waste of my time. Feel free to PM me, keep in touch, or anything if you are interested. But, this place is going backwards. And I can't do anything to stop it. Nor can I just watch it fall. For the first time in years, I won't be coming back. Not even to look at replies in this thread.
Bye guys. Good luck. And, well, I like tacos.

God damn it.
Have you ever considered that maybe, MAYBE, there's a reason?
I guess not.
Have a good life.

You can leave if you want, mate. The door's right there. Meanwhile, I'm already too tired of this drama-bullsh*t to deal with it. If someone else wants to convince you two to stay, go for it, I won't stop you. But right now, I can't deal with those who won't listen.

Thanks, obseen.
As for Karma, let me explain why I'm so willing to let her go.
She wiped the guild.
She disappeared.
Darius told me who she was.
I forgave her.
I didn't tell anybody who she was.
I didn't ban her.
I said I'd defend her from the rest of the guild, if they started attacking her.
I defended her in court, until she decided to do it herself.
And I don't think it's really helped anyone.
She has, thus far, been more trouble than she's worth. So if she wants to leave, fine.
Oh.
and, "Dedicated, my a**."
I've got a headache.

I'm kind of sick of the drama too. I don't know about the rest of the crew, but it really is what demotivates me. It makes me not even want to come in sometimes. I've got enough drama in my own life to deal with.

Bah. Methinks she does not realize that with the start of school and Drama and the continuing of Job-Search, SOME of us might be just a tad busy?
Whatevers... She can be that way. I'm gonna go be an ultra-nerd and play Warhammer 40K.

The_Master_Wielder and, "Dedicated, my a**." I must disagree with this part. She came back to the league after her actions seemed to turn everyone amongst the league against her. I would say that requires some dedication.

Oh, no. Our savior has left the guild. What are we to do? 
Well, I suppose I can talk now. I would consider myself the first person to be against her return to the guild. But I chose to keep my mouth shut in public because of drama and endless arguments. I said all I had to say in private and the people that needed to know my opinion already know it. I knew that if I said something, people would make a big fuzz out of it and, despite what it might look like, I was also one of those people who wanted this to be over and done. Adding gas to the fire wouldn't have helped at all.
This all seemed like a well-thought of plot from the beginning. I suppose I'm a conspiracy nut but this all seem to fall into place too well. Destroy guild, disappear for a while, come back as a new person, act all goody two shoes, get people on your good side by befriending others randomly, reveal true identity, come back as a fallen god, go back to do whatever in the guild. The trial was unanticipated but serendipitous. At least it showed everyone that she ran away from a punishment that she long deserved. And it also showed her cowardice by not willing to shut up and get it over with. Eh, well. That's over now. (Watch her read this even though she said she wouldn't. Reading does not equal not replying.) I just feel bad for Wielder who truly defended her against everyone, mostly myself. He's not at fault; he tries to see the good in people. He can easily trust people and treat them like family. He can't be blamed for having good leader-like values. I'm the opposite. I see the bad in people. I suspect of everything and everyone and I only trust a few. But I believe because of this, I'm also able to recognize when a piece of trash crosses my path.
Anywho, I see this as a blessing. The scum just pretty much weeds itself out. They usually grow tired of things not going their way and either a) Do something moronically irrational or b)Leave with a rant in an attempt to recover whatever dignity they have left. It kinda reminds me of that one slacker at work who is about to get fired and instead, he goes "Well, you can't fire me! I quit!". That kinda makes me laugh still.
I can easily count with one hand the people who have left the guild for one reason or another and I would still respect them. This isn't the case. The reasons behind this are posted at the beginning of the thread.
But now that this whole business is COMPLETELY over with, we can focus on some truly important stuff. Those who remain are the ones worth listening to; the ones who deserve privileges and who truly want to help the guild out. Notice that by helping, I don't mean 'Spend your entire day here and do something about the guild'. No, of course not. We all have a life. But it truly shows who those are. And you guys know who you are.
So! I suggest we dispose of this thread ASAP. There's truly no point in keeping this any longer. It's not like no one asked what will be of Karma anyway.

Look, I know this'll sound drastic, but it seems the entire guild might need a rebuild. The current member base seems to come in three sets;
Inactive - The largest group, and yet the ones with most potential to help the guild flourish.
Dramatic and Problematic - Ones who do nothing but bring drama and problems that cause newer and less active members to shy away.
Devoted - Those who are generally trying to help the guild flourish and grow into a great thing.
Some might say I fall into any one of these, but I'm trying to be one of the helpful ones.. But, back on topic, It might be for the best to try and figure who in the guild falls into what and confront or remove the dramatic group. I've seen the cycle before, and it ruins entire forums and guild for massive amounts of time. I was part of one forum board that, due to inner drama and bullsh*t, imploded. It took about six months before the few devoted moderators could restart with the right people.
I guess what I'm saying is I don't want to see the GML go up in flames and it take months before someone can pick it back up and bring it into it's old splendor.
