As you can see by my post count I do not usually post here. After reading this one and thinking long and hard about how I can never get that time back I decided to reply instead of lament.

First off do not ask me about what Mayhem's goals are because I am no officer. I also do not agree with much of what the leadership does, which is no mystery to them as I have posted my opinions often enough in Mayhems forums. I will not be voicing my disagreements with them here though as I would prefer to let them know directly as need arises.

Now a question you MAY ask is why don't I leave Mayhem then? That would be a question worth answering and so I will do so preemptively.

I have had offers to join other factions and have resoundley turned them down. I can't think of too many factions that wouldn't want me. I'm a R9 cleric, and while not an active PKer I can hold my own well enough in TW's, and NW's. Not too much drama I don't think, but then one may never know.

Now here is why I don't leave Mayhem. Because there is nowhere else to go. Let's pretend for a moment I app'd a faction like Dark and got in. Here is what I would find. A set to expire faction built from a group of cowards that only picks fights they know they can win. It is a certainty that when both Mayhem and Omerta are off the map, and after the few stragglers that remain are gone or ignored Dark would be the first to fall. If or when Crimson and Infamous and Dark fight it out Dark would lose quickly. I know this for one reason more than any other.

Because Mayhem will stack your ****, and hold you hostage for about an hour every weekend. And you KNOW you can't win against either Crimson or Infamous with Mayhem stacking you. Deep down inside that's what this thread is all about. Longknife and his boyfriend have fear of the future and this is a lame attempt to affect it by trying to ignite turmoil in Mayhem. But that is exactly why I am in Mayhem you see? The simple joy of destroying factions like you by being the constant thorn in your side. And Mayhem has always been there making you bleed. That history is written all over Longknife's profile. "Longknife is now a member of Dark. Longknife is now a member of Infamous. Longknife is now a member of Dark. Longknife is now a member of catalyst...blah blah blah". Jumping ship when factions start to lose is what you and your ilk do best. Run and hide behind powerhouse faction tags until said faction starts to fall. You're rinse and repeat predictability is sickening. Your like a dog going back and eating your own vomit again and again.

And as for fireworks??? You don't lag me, my machine can take it. And I don't get distracted by the "pretty lights" either. In fact, I find it somewhat humorous that your lack of sportsmanship probably slows you down more than it does me. But that's what it is. Lack of sportsmanship and fair play. Another reason i would never join your faction. It's set to expire in about 90 days anyway. Shoot your fireworks off in my face and I'll make you pay for it. Try it this weekend and see. b:chuckle

I'm gonna ignore basically every personal criticism because there's nothing objective about:

"Mayhem has spent years not moving forward."
"Oh ya well ur adopted."

I don't care to discuss any of your little insults, go ahead and assume them to be true if you like. But at least consider the criticisms posted here about Mayhem. Only one that's even remotely worth addressing is how you seem to think I quit losing guilds when I left friggin' Catalyst, or that I'm the one repeating my actions over and over; not Mayhem.

I mean your answer is filled with logical fallacies and hell, even helps prove my point. I've accused Mayhem of being part of the problem of why the server is stuck in stagnation. You said yourself that you're gonna stack Dark every week (which we know and have known for a looooong time. That's part of the reason WHY you have no lands and part of the reason why I'm telling you Mayhem is doomed: because your guild now has a reputation as a stack b**** and gets bid on for it).

So wait, your game plan and how you take pleasure from the game is to spitefully target the guilds that outperform you? That's pathetic, childish and spiteful. Several Mayhem complain about Infamous always ruling the server, but then you stack any guild that starts rising in power and wonder why no one can ever challenge Infamous.


You complain about how Crimson did nothing but use you as a human shield (something I spent ages trying to warn you guys about, similar to my posts now...), and yet what do you do? You spitefully stack guilds that simply outplayed you; guilds that just so happen to border Crimson when Crimson runs out of free bids. You wonder WHY they never bothered to help you guys? Because they don't have to; you do their bidding whether they help you out or not. Manipulating Mayhem is easy; want them as allies? Don't bid them, they'll end up stacking the people that are bound to be your future opponents. This is exactly how you guys get played by them time and time and time again. So yes trust me, we knew what we were getting into when we started bidding you. We just don't care.


And finally....

Your motivation for staying in Mayhem despite it's losses...is to get some pathetic, spiteful form of revenge against guilds that outplayed Mayhem...? Erm, ok. Seems like a logical fallacy, because if you simply left Mayhem, you'd have no desire to get revenge on behalf of them. You've also failed to explain what Dark did wrong beyond kicking your ***; your reasoning is nothing short of petty and spoiled, stacking a guild simply because they beat you.
So Crimson constantly using Mayhem as a human shield for years? That's nothing worth attacking them over! But a guild beat you in TW?? Those ****s!! Let's get them!!!

I just dunno what to tell you, because as you sit and claim Dark will be short-lived, you fail to address that Mayhem is being slaughtered by an allegedly short-lived guild that just kind of fell into place; that a guild filled with people that've played together for years absolutely CANNOT win against a combination of CrimsonJr, Absinthe and old school Zulu members.

My advice for Mayhem? Be objective about your discussions for once. I keep making points and they're just kind of swept under the rug. Instead I get long posts slandering me personally. My point is that even if you were right and I'm the worst thing since Satan and I'm pathetic and cowardly and arrogant and selfish and a baby-killer and all the other bad words in the world, that doesn't change that my criticisms of Mayhem are accurate. You're simply ignoring them and reducing this to petty name-calling. No, listen to them. Be challenged by them. Contemplate if they're true, and if they are, admit it. To not do so is idiocy and the exact reason Mayhem can't move forward.

But no, the guy who spent ages trying to warn Mayhem they're being warned by Crimson? Obviously I have nothing useful or productive to say to you guys. I'm just a big meanie-head who dares be in a guild that's better than yours and I'm not afraid to criticize. How DARE I criticize Rebel's obsession with Dragon's Flame even though I also criticized Alastar's shoddy tower building, Kazuma's botched defense attempt and my own overzealous/often useless spam of IG that TW? Clearly I am just filled with blind hate for Mayhem and my criticisms aren't constructive at all.



Also, lulz at people still thinking there's actually some reason or purpose behind our firework spam beyond Toothbrush fireworks being god damn hilarious, and people accusing them of being hacks being four times as hilarious.
