Title: Hello........then silence ????
Post by: Enigma on October 26, 2008, 08:39:08 PM
Don't take this post the wrong way at all. I do not mean it to cause malice. But what is the deal with this guild's forum? Seems everyone posts a Hello I am new to the guild and some people respond with a welcome then no more posts....ever. For such a large guild that is VERY active I can not imagine why there is not more interesting topics to discuss or debate over. Again not being a dil-hole i'm just surprised.

I would venture a guess that the Hello posts are just people introducing themselves after getting guilded into Gilfane

They then continue to post in the private guild forums or become a silent lurker :)

You know Kael that is something I guess I was too tired to think of. Private forums huh. Yeah I will take that as a good answer. Still wish these boards had some more fun to them thou.

Yes indeed. Most conversation goes on in the private forums. I suppose for general discussion a lot of people will just use Stratics.

Well, you could always post something thought provoking every now and then like Righty does. . .

Have you read some of his posts on stratics? This guy doesn't post anything intelligent.

I am sorry Morder 90% of my posts are Buying threads the other 10% are me pointing out stupid. I asked a general question and I did so with respect towards your guild. I got an answer and moved on not sure why you got so butt hurt? I actually like the concept of your guild and I normally go out of my way to not PK your people. Well except Aeowyn but that is an old story. I have attended your wolf events and NOT killed everyone in the room which was a tempting offer. I have given your guild members straight up 1v1's which they will not get anywhere else on this shard. I even let your whole guild fight me 10 vs 1 one night and I did not loot a single item. I am not sure where your anger comes from but the only unintelligent post I see is yours.

Please, m'lords... this sort of strife goes not well here.

Tame thy tongue, and ye have tamed th' worst wildfire that can spread.

An' this be a personal quarrel, take't to Sosaria, and there do kill each other hap'ly til thy grievances be done.

Can I be the only one imagining the amusement of attempting to decipher a conversation between Lethe and Sitric?

Just a note on the positive side of things, Coyote Jack was one of the first to visit and welcome me back to Siege. After demonstrating the features of the new Samuri templates, he offered helpful suggestions on updating my own. He also recommended I seek out Gilfane as a potential match for my play style and alignment. He also offered his ICQ in case I had any questions, which I have taken advantage of on a couple of occasions. His motive was clear and stated, that he wants people to return to siege/UO, enjoy it, and stay. I believe this thread was initiated in that spirit in light of this recent exchange, but may have been interpreted as critical.

I understand you guys all probably have deep history and have no wish to get in the middle of that. I just needed to voice this perspective, even if seen through the eyes of a newborn, so to speak. My understanding is that Gilfane values honor and goodness. If Enigma's intent was that of goodness, it may be perceived that payment was that of unkindness. The misunderstanding could be my own as well! Would not be the first time :)

I should have spoken up sooner but was very reluctant to negatively impact my impression on Gilfane before I even had a chance to meet anyone. Forgive me for keeping silent, when I should have spoken.

Bah!  It's all good Shipwrek.  I heard you were looking for contact info for people to do some hunts and no one was in vent last night.  What time of day do you play normally?  Maybe we can at least get some ICQ's exchanged with the people who are on same time as you.  Or perhaps you might at some point be interested in joining Gilfane.

I am usually on weeknights 6 - 11ish Eastern US time and then late friday or on and off through the weekend. My ICQ is 89424938

Environments like this are much better in a guild, more so on SP. I would welcome any opportunity to get to know the folks in Gilfane better and I you to see if I would fit in.

As I mentioned, my template is a bit of a mess but hopefully still useful on a hunt. It would have been a decent archer/mage with 80+ heal long ago but I am probably easy pickings for murders.

Does Gilfane participate in factions?
Title: Re: Hello........then silence ????

We have a faction guild in our alliance,  White Council Brittanians.

Actually, I am trying to imagine a conversation between Lethe, Sitric, and Mo!!!

I actually don't usually check the gil forums, so, it does happen with me.  I hope that it is not offensive to the other members of the guild, but I do like to spend more time in the game then in forums.  :-[   :D
