Don't Feed the Trolls

[Tbone]

It's come to my attention that certain members in a certain guild are potentially trying to spread rumors and lies to entice Angels to defect. I know that these are lies because one of them was about me.

We're all very sexy, so I can understand why we'd be poached, but one of the people in question is an ex-member and would have a strong motivation for trying to get revenge or get some of his friends to join him.

I'm avoiding specifics because I don't want to start any drama with the guild. I'm going to have a talk with their leaders and try to get to the bottom of it. In the meantime, if you are approached by someone who tries to tell you "FA members did ___", please avoid feeding the troll and just ignore it. I'd also appreciate it if you passed the information along to me.

First I want to make sure there's no truth to the rumors (are some of you guys getting generous with your emotes?) and secondly I want to be able to go dispute the claims and go to the offending guild about it. It doesn't help anyone if we aren't aware of the situation.

Remember, avoid the drama and stay classy!

This. A thousand times this.

I, probably more than anyone in this guild, like to let the fur fly in Teamspeak, guild chat, forums, etc., (and I hope for your sake that you understand that I do it for entertainment's sake) but I know for damn sure that the very instant I am in a channel of communication that is witnessed by someone outside of the guild, judgement can and will be passed upon the majority of our members based on how I conduct myself. Keep that in mind in the upcoming weeks/months.


TL;DR, regardless of how I conduct myself in guild channels, I will always put my best foot forward externally in hopes that it will reflect well on you. I hope you do the same for me.

getting generous with your emotes

I tell people to love fuse in warzones...Is that the issue?

This is like telling everyone "I have a secret..." and now I want to know!

To clarify a bit, the original rumor was that Broin and I used the spit emote on members of their guild (a Republic guild) inside a warzone. This is blatantly untrue. Broin and I haven't even done a warzone together in probably a month. He's been out of town all this week and the most recent time I was in a warzone was last Monday for the PvP practice. I don't think I've ever used the spit emote (/clubdance is really my emote of choice!).

The rumor has since been updated that just "two consulars" from FA did the spit emote, which, since the story has changed, I doubt is true. The rumor is being told to members of FA in what I can only assume is an attempt to convince them the guild is a bunch of jerks or something. The source is an ex-FA who was kicked out on not so good terms (though I hold no ill will, he was not happy about the decision).

Regardless, this is a good reminder:  When we win or lose we always play it silent and cool.  We never spit on anyone, trash talk or grief.  

If we find out about it, you're going to have some explaining to do and you might want to look for a new guild.  I don't care who it is, we don't do that crap.

We also never rub it in or gloat or get cocky.  That's just tacky anyway.

I have hugged a few random ppl lol if this has anything to do with it just joking around mostly people I kill on ilum

I think the Navy SEALs say it best.. "We are SILENT professionals"

[Broin]

Yeah I've been a bit busy for the past week and was even busier before that and don't think I ran but handful or warzones as I was focusing on money runs...  

They are haters who garnered what they thought they needed from us and then left.  Now they realize they still need what we have and are wanting it.  The only way they think they can get it now is to be duplicitous....

Not that unforseen.

I say show me the screenies of what they claim I did....

Maybe it was Ana's, Edward Cullen hair style than skeered them away ?

Ana's Edward Cullen hair style is why I wake up some mornings.
