Felecia's Apology
Budweiser, you have a huge say in this, Apochrypha says her team can match your team and would like to see a friendly rivalry. William Alexander is also throwing down the gauntlet. I am sure Dave Mebs has his team ready for anything as well.
|
But we also heard there was going to be PVP involved in these events.
So, We pick up your thrown gauntlet and return slap you with it...
Will your teams step up to the pvp challenge? We might even be willing to boost the prize money of that event.

I did not post in the other thread because by the time i saw it, it had already reached the point that anything said was inflamatory and further posting was simply fueling it.
But I spoke to Felicia for the first time tonight since the AOW event was postponed and told her I was sorry about all the crap she got in the other thread, she mentioned this one and I wanted to show her my support.
I've known Felicia for 2 years now. I met her when I was a total noob and she was helpful even though I was in the most hated SG on the server at the time. She was more helpful than the ppl in the SG that I was in lol. I learned alot from her and can almost always count on her to help with something when needed. Two years in, and I still learn new things in this game all the time.
Felicia and I have not always seen eye to eye on every issue, we have had words in the past about SF and we have had arguements about SG's in my coalition, DarkGuard and about Braije whom I adore. But we say our peace, and move on. We've never held a grudge. I occasionally pick at her with an "AV Killer" comment or poke at her about being the female Stryker, but it's for the most part done in fun. And I hope she knows that. I tend to be a bit of a smart *** and i speak freely, ppl often take what I say the wrong way or i come off as a total ***** if you don't know me (or maybe even if you do lol). I hope Felicia and everyone else I team with knows, that I pick and poke fun at ppl, it's not meant to be hurtful or to start drama.
Felicia has been around a long time and knows more about the game than most ppl I know. She has through her words and gained a reputation as cocky, self rightious, condescending and sometimes downright rude. But she has in my opinion earned the right to be a little cocky and the rest usually only comes out when she is on the defense when she is attacked over something stupid, which tends to happen alot. Like ppl have nothing better to do than over analyze every single word. If you tried to get to know her based purely on her posts, you may think she is a bit of a nut lol.
But the reputation she has gained through her deeds, not her words is how I have gotten to know her. She has run many, many events for the server, she has helped ppl she has never met before, she has dropped what she was doing to help fill task forces when no one else wanted to run it, she is always available to answer questions, she answers the noobs in atlas that no one else will. I have seen her explain enhancements at length to ppl in WW. I have seen her explain the potential of powers and power sets to ppl that had no idea what they were doing. I have seen her join countless teams to help with ppl that were stuck in some mission they could not complete. These are how I judge Felicia. These are the reasons wrether she is ranting in defense (which she should not have to do any damn way) or wrether she is bragging about some new achievement she has my respect and support.
I am glad she got some positive feedback in this thread, I am glad that she feels it had a good outcome, but in my opinion she should not have had to apologize to that degree. A simple "Hey, something came up, sorry i could not make it, will do on this date." should have been good enough. We are all ppl, **** happens, get over it. We all have tempers and if you attack someone, they are going to give it back in full. She should not have to apologize for defending herself. In my opinion there are many ppl in these forums that owe her an apology.

Not speaking for anyone else (really..)
Like you, a lot of us have had our own personal realtionships with Felecia and perhaps those relationships and whatever issues that were / are there may have spilled over onto the forum posts.
I would never expect anyone to offer up an apology based on what was seen here alone. Each and everyone of us (ok, almost all of us) had a basis for whats been said based on the relationships they all have had with her.. things Im sure none of us are privvy to. I know a lot of the reasons Ive had, arent public knowledge... some are, but, a lot, are not.

Just because a person is a long time vet, doesnt give them a "free pass" to be all the things youve listed off and then turn around an expect people to not be left with a sour taste in their mouths and offer up blanket apologies.
cause / effect
action / re-action
She's stepped up, owned the mistakes, made the apologies and is trying to move on. As are the rest of us.
It's a bit disheartening that this was even brought back up to the surface. It should have been left with her apology and allowed to move on with it. I dont see the need for additional finger pointing. Things were moving in a positive direction...
I, like many others, do wish her and aow luck in the future and will hopefully support AOW's future events. Anything I need to say to her, will be, in private.
I am not going to get into a debate or arguement over this Cherry, you obviously feel personally scorned or something to critisize yet again someone else's point of view and their post. My point was, maybe ppl should not be so quick to judge and attack ppl's words on here without knowing where they are coming from and I guess you missed that point. When I said she has earned the right to be a little cocky I am referring to her bragging. She has made great acheivements in this game (as have many others) and when she does they are always called into question, "no screenies, it didnt happen". Her time in game is not an excuse for bad behavior, no one's is. That was not what i was trying to get across. But i have only seen that darker, less desireable side of her come out when she was on the defense.
As for not bringing up the past.....

Here is a cup of holiday cheer to sweeten it up!
Well, it was nice while it lasted.

so casual forum reader from triumph here. in a word, wow'
All that aside, i think it's really cool that Felecia goes out of her way to set up events for Champion players. i'm too much of a chaotic, lazy *** to do it myself. Keep it up.
(As Tank Girl would say, "Oi! Big ears! Amuse me!")
*Sadly, though, do i know of enough about how animation times, recharge and arcanatime factor into attack chains and effective dps to realize when certain things are not possible when playing within the game's normal limitations. So when i question certain claims being achieved legitimately it's because they are either not mechanically possible without using an exploit, or some portion of the claim is a lie.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
Thank you all for your thoughts, i will post on this thread, on our website at all-out-war.guildportal.com and try to get the new events all posted on Mizz Nibbz calender on January 1st.
As for our PvP sg, we are still about a month away from having decent alts for it, most of them are only lvl 45 now. The sg and it's alts are only 6 weeks old, not enough time for us to work them up to speed since we still work on all our other alts as well.
To make things more interesting, we will allow mixed Hero and Villian teams but the prizes will still be given out in Influence only. PuG teams are allowed and ALL teams must register thier members at least 15 minutes before the event. To be held in RWZ.
ALL-OUT-WAR-DOMINATION (VG) has been reactivated this week and will begin to work on making Infamy for future events.
The best thing that came out of the discussion was my new sig

Tee Hee!
So when is the first AE challenge suppose to be? I am interested in doing this if I'm available, but would have to get a team together...Silas, Kahlan?

Glad to see you're trying to move forward, Fel.
It's kinda...unexpected but I'm glad to see it, nevertheless.
And Dolly, that is an AWESOME sig! Made me lol.
Ima have to get me 1 of them-there things, looks useful.

Poor Mod 08 should switch to a simpler profession. Mebbe cat-herding...

OMG! Dolly, your picpost gave me my laugh for the day, it's as good as some of Ashcrofts.

Hey, speaking of Mod08, why isnt he in the PERC Auction
THROWDOWN: Felecia Divine has volunteered, let's see some of the other notables come out in support - This is aimed at Undead Cyborg, CriticalCat, Exodus Force, Dazz Marvelous (no you cannot get out of this one), Cobalt Azurean, and Mod08. Budweiser already beat us to it, i am impressed, nice way to lead Bud!
While i am calling out names, let's see the games elite out here, come out Positron, Back Alley, Warwitch, and Statesman. You have done enough standing on the sidelines (i mean really, sitting 10,596 hours on a ship waiting for someone, anyone, to say hi to Statesman?).
Yes i am poking fun at people hoping some of you if not most will come out to particiapte, either as a biddee or a bidder!
Let's make 2010 The Year Of CITY OF HEROES!
I hope to see lots more names on the other thread from PERC! Including Red Names!
We have limited funds since the new system came in place. So AOW can:
1. Scrap the one day event and run multiple events each week such as 1st week of the month we have our monthly CC and hold a monthly 800 Million AE Challenge. Let us know which week is best for your sg.
2. Have a one day celebration as we planned for December but hold it January 17th. But then we are broke and wont be holding other events for awhile.
3. Compromise. We hold our monthly CC, Every 3 months hold a 800 Million AE Challenge, and January 17th hold one CC and a 4 Billion AE Challenge. I know this cutting the challenge in half seems mean but it allows AOW to keep some of it's funds to hold future events. We are trying to work on our PvP sg and need funds to hold future events and work on our alts.
Let us know what you think is best. Decision will be made by January 1st.
Yes the Challenges will allow open teams (PuG's of mixed SG's AND VG's) but all funds will be paid in Influence.
Budweiser, you have a huge say in this, Apochrypha says her team can match your team and would like to see a friendly rivalry. William Alexander is also throwing down the gauntlet. I am sure Dave Mebs has his team ready for anything as well.
AOW funds will be distributed between sg leaders so we will not have the same problem as before. If i cannot make it, there will be someone who can take over.
I personally would rather see one big 8bil event as originally planned. I want all my monies at once
(just a side note: the team I am in isn't MY team. I'm not the one putting it together, nor leading it.)
