The point o' my post that you so clearly took offense to was that it was attempted before. Cherry wasn't around at that time, nor were a lot o' the current raiders, and didn't know that it had been done. I remember it bein' unsuccessful, but since you vividly remember the congratulations I passed along to you, as I'm known to languish praise upon so many people, I could be wrong.

Then again, I remember your first raid and it bein' griefed. Details to the point o' the people involved, me sendin' tells to someone in the hopes that she would talk some sense into the organizer behind the passive griefin'. Passive bein' that they didn't outright pull aggro or things o' that nature, simply took up needed spots in the zone. I also remember that a player who was involved got fairly distraught that he was partakin' in it that he left the server. Seems kind o' ironic that people just takin' up spots in zone or not participatin' with the rest o' the raid could cause such a problem. That certainly hasn't happened since then. And it certainly wasn't someone from your SG. But, hey, my memory could be faulty...

Also, if they were so successful, how come you didn't lead more? If you had the participants, if you had the supposed knowledge, if it was such a 'WIN', where were the follow-up raids? You did say you did this for the community. It's amazin' that someone does somethin' once or maybe twice for the community, and it's this amazin' endeavor. People do the same thing better, faster and when they stop, they get proverbially **** on.

Additionally, no nukes or shivans or 'gimmicks' o' any sort were used at the regularly scheduled blueside raids. So, not to take that away from you, but that doesn't really mean anythin'.

Finally, the reason they are posted on the boards is to let members o' the community know they are bein' done and that they can partake if they so choose to. The only thing they have to do is show up and listen to/follow some simple directions. It's not posted to stroke the leaders' egos. And it must be doin' somethin' right because we've had people from other servers ask us about how they were bein' run. Clearly that's a sign o' senseless ego-strokin'.

Just a laundry list o' passive aggressive revenge on a doorknob o' a roommate.

We do have one. @Decision made a song a few years ago and posted it called, "A Day To Raid", which I have a copy of. I'll see if I can scrounge it up online or post it for use (once I get permission from him).

XD

Cadmium Alizarean or somethin' like that.

Done.

And a fundamental lack o' knowledge.

Edit: And experience with the new raid setup.

Before your time.

True, but the evac-less method was attempted before... unsuccessfully... with a different crew.

Congrats?

This is very much true. Back before Amy stepped up and started puttin' raids together and leadin'em, someone else gave it a shot. Unfortunately, on the two occasions that he organized'em via the forums and global channels, he failed to show due to extinuatin' circumstances. At the time, he wasn't all the well known, but he posted on the forums that he was goin' to do it, and people showed up to support it.

That just goes to show that even if you aren't well know on the server, even if you don't have prior raid leadership experience, if you advertise that you are goin' to do it, people will support it.

I'm pretty sure the primary reason you wanted to have'em replaced is because you had a bad experience with'em, and that mainly had to do with you not willin' to listen.

Perhaps not, but you were bein' an *******.
