Roll one and be one. But with posts like these, you ain't going be one. It's like being by-passed for promotions. One black mark can stick with you the whole like through in the company.

Be more constructive like how you think the Fortress can be improved. Having another Imm is not going to make it more succesful, to be frank really. It's always the player-base. Can't stress it.

If Shok is going to be busy and Aarn is only focused on the Maran as you claimed to be, I'm sure another Imm will step in and assist. Read the premium battlefield boards and you will know a lot of Imms keep watch on players outside their cabal and recommend leaders, titles, etc.

So... stop ranting. It's not even close to helping in anyway.

As a leader in the fort, I don't want to say too much. Having imm interactions is fun, but its not the end all be all. I don't expect Aarn or Shokai to tell me a damn thing ic, thats fine with me. Because when they do, I know I screwed up somewhere. Its just a game so play it.

Please stop with the "anonymous" crap. It's not smooth, and you're not fooling anyone. It started with the email to Shok and I from a "concerned party", and now the forum postings.

If you've got a gripe, post about it openly and support your argument, then if people disagree with you... well maybe you'll have to admit you were wrong. Then let it go.

Joining the Fort to get an immteraction fix is roughly akin to going to a Star Trek convention to pick up supermodels.

I apologize if the Fortress didn't fill your needs...but I've given my commentary on immteraction and the expectation there of so many times that I feel no need to repeat it, nor do I feel remorse that you'll be leaving the Fortress. I assure you, I'll sleep just fine.

Where's all that money that I spent
I propose a toast to my self control
You see it crawling helpless on the floor
Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away"

Well, here are a few tips if you're lacking immteraction:

Don't be boring. Be interesting.

Don't suck.

Don't be a whiner.

Don't be stupid.

Don't beg for immteraction.

Make a point not to scout the hero range with your lowbie before logging on (this is easily accomplished by only having one character).

Have cojones.

If your role is to be a "hardcore Maran" be a hardcore friggin' Maran.

If you're a Maran, you're not a god damned cream puff. That's Acolyte territory. And remember, Aarn is a dwarven Maran god. His behavior is undoubtedly perfectly in line with that. Don't be a wuss.

Don't talk about things you shouldn't be talking about on the cb. Think of the cb as the "police radio-wave frequency". You don't hear cops talking about tonight's pot roast dinner over it.

If immteraction is what you want, go where you have to to get it.

Personally, I think anyone given a leadership position that leaves because of a lack of immteraction probably isn't doing their job as a leader.

That would normally be keeping them so busy they would struggle to fit immteraction in.

Not sure what your talking about, just the other night there was a whole bunch of immteraction.

That which does not kill us,
makes us stronger.

Making up half a dozen aliases for yourself does not make your opinion six times as important.

I swear we're not even in communication this morning.

It would be cool if you wouldn't post/complain/astroturf under half a dozen different aliases on the Shokai forum, creating the illusion that a bunch of people are disgruntled when, mostly, it's you. Thanks!

Actually when Iramath was Captain, I remember once we all went to go save some hostage elf of an orc. That was it really, oh besides trying to find Aarn, but that didn't really count, Aarn was inevitable, so it wasn't like we REAALLy needed to find him. Besides that, we were just Fort rats guarding the scepter and codex, which usualyl got taken away the second we all had to sleep from bordom or lack of PK to be found. So I can see what the Last One's talking about.

I echo the comments of Hanos and the Lost One. You have
lost some good players to Aarn who has no idea what
the acolytes stand for and what they do. All he knows is
Maran Maran. Anyways Seems Hanos, Lost One and I is not the
only ones who feel the fortress is disorganized and lack with
the lack of imm support.

Kal.

Your astroturfing isn't flying here, "Lost One." Knock it off.

And to be a little constructive: The best way to persuade the staff to come around to your way of thinking isn't with deception that we easily see through.

Jesus, when I posted the above I thought only ONE of those two posters were the same guy. It's worse than I thought.

Get some help, man.

The only post I did was under the lost one. Get your facts straight before you look like an idiot. My opinion remains the same and it seems a few others agree. Its a game and if I don't like what I see I can just leave and let you arrogant imms destroy it yourselves.

So get the hell off of my board, stop posting, and get the hell out of my game. I'm tired of this one man slam campaign of yours, since I'm about 99% sure I know who you are (in fact, I'm betting the rest of the playerbase can guess who you are since you pulled the same thing on Dio's board). You feel you got slighted, because you screwed up in game. Stop trying to sound like you have the moral highground here....stop trying to make it sound like this is a horrible game that you've been forced to play. In short, stop.

I'm seriously considering asking that you be permanantly banned from the game, for the simple reason that you have nothing to offer or contribute to it, outside of these 'cute' little posts of yours everytime something bad happens to you in game that you don't like. If you want to see if I'm bluffing, by all means...keep this #### up.

I can absolutely prove all those posts are yours.

I'm not going to, because then you might not make the same mistake next time, but I'm certain. I know it, you know it, and I'm not buying this denial because you always, always, always lie when you're caught.

It's not becoming. The problems you have playing this game are of your own making, and this problem is of your own making. Please, just drop it.

Your ripping on Shokai for one, which pisses me off more than you can imagine. Besides that, you are pissing off a very dedicated imm, who I have never seen this level of mad from before. I think Aarn has also done a damn good job, so if you don't like where it's going, find another damn cabal/game/life. So if this offends you, sorry, but I don't really think you're welcome at CF anymore.

Yeah, I hope it didn't sound like I was making a downer on Shoks board, i was just saying that there's a lot of free time you find yourself with when praying. I was as loyal as I could, but my Knight Hanos just lost one too many battles. Better luck next time they all say. But really, if you can appreciate all the time these peole have put into this MUD, then dont depreciate it with slander. Go find another place to mope around.
