Welcome to Gaia! ::

Exactly what the title says.
And whoever happens to be reading my message, please read the whole thing.

First of all... I have had it up to here.
People are leaving, tempers are flaring.
This guild is falling apart for a few reasons, and I am going to state every single one of them.

To start, we have become WAY to strict. Yes, it is common courtesy to explain that random posting in certain areas, but slamming them over the over is COMPLETELy unnecessary. I am not targetting anyone with this. I have done it as well, guilty as charged. Also, er are spazzing at people for misicule things. We need to stop this or our guild will feel more like a prison.

Secondly, there is a complete lack of respect towards other members and their attitudes. Running this guild isn't easy, especially now, so when people come and say we're doing a bad job, eg. Choppers

Yes, we KNOW this guild is falling apart. And we are trying our best to help fix it! I spend every minute of my time not at school or doing homework on here, breaking up fights and setting things straight, and I am positive I am not the only one. However, negative comments like that are certainly not helping us get along.
And Choppers. You're going to say I'm picking on you or swear at me. Whatever. I don't care anymore. You have almost nothing nice to say about this guild, and whenever someone leaves or something goes wrong you waste no time to blame it all on us. Maybe it is our fault. But we're trying to stop these things from happening.

Thirdly. Our spamming has reached it's maximum. Yes, I know I sound like a hypocrite at the moment, but I can't help it. We've been doing considerably better, and I thank you all for that. Still though, true messages in threads are being lost.

Fourth... All of these people are leaving. I don't know about you guys, but I've known these people for a year now, and I do not want to see them go. They contribute so much to this guild and to the way I feel about things. And yet they leave. This should be telling us something.


There. I'm done. For anyone who may be confused about my intentions after this post, I am NOT leaving.
To everyone: I am truly sorry you have seen this side of me. But I haven't been this angry in a very long time, and there were things that needed saying. All I can hope is that we realize these things and help get Element's Realm through this dark time.

everyone always blames everyone. everyone always expects anyone to be perfect. this guild started out great, but as we got older so did out thoughts. people started to think about what other people did in a different way. and then they started to get mad because of it. even though they had been used to it for about a year now. too many different people in this guild. people who want organization and strict rules, people would couldent care less, people who side with everyone, and people who just want the guild to stay alive. no one seems to accept the other people now, and are only on their own side, trying to make the guild right in their own way, everyone wants the same thing, to make the guild active and fun. but everyone has their different view of fun and orderly. and unfortiantly, as hard as we try, everyone has their different beliefs and cant agree with all of the people in the guild, theirs no way of changing it, and its like this all over the world. theres nothing we can do but try and not get mad and understand the thinking of the other person, weve been with each other long enough, that i thought we would have known each other well enough, not to get in conflicts or petty arguments. im not directing this at anyone, i just tried to understand why its all happening...

we never used to be like that, we barely ever bickered... im still not sure what happened within the last few months, stress? problems? people finally realizing that the guild is a year old, and that weve all known each other for a year, maybe some people thought that was too long? or how long they had to put up with a person or people? i wish i was a mind reader.

i never said it to anyone in particular, and i know you wont leave, if you do you will come back... you yourself said, you get angry at me, we fight and yell, yet you always love talking to me... reminds me of oberon and titania, shakespeare.

yeah, you and 5 others. XP anywho, why does it still say im a non-member?

...was i nagging kaen? well Matthew has an idea. since both choppers and I think that we're the reason for destroying the guild...i think that we shud both stay just to see it heal itself. the whole thing of working together is right. now i really hope that this guild stays strong cus i dont know about you guys but i wanna be here to celbrate its 2nd anniverserary! also. i am sorry karma for that time you thot i was calling you emo. im sorry and that was childish of me to say. kaen, im sorry for calling you a nazi, i was in a patriotic mood and you were saying you didnt like America and that got on my nerves. queenie. im sorry for all the stress i put you through with helping me get a guild to call my own and im sorry for troubling you with the whole masters thing. choppers. im sorry i blamed you for karma leaving and yelling at her, which i did so to hide the fact that i yelled at her too. gler. im sorry for refering to myself in third person when you are clearly the guild's third person master. contradiction. im sorry for getting mad at you for becoming the water master because it was my fault that i didnt send queenie a pm myself asking for the position. silent. im sorry for taking your falling in the holes thing, thats urs and urs alone like gler. anime. im sorry for annoying you in the way that i did. everyone else. if i did something to you please tell me and ill try to fix it if i cant find a reason to justify my actions. thank you for listening and i cant wait to be in the elements relm that i joined once again!

takes a big man to appologize like that. that is a very high compliment coming from me.

karma: umm thanks! ^^' *never really herd her compliment some1 so is guessing it is a big one..*
