The coolest thing about LinkShells is that you can take them off. I would let the drama play itself out without you being on. Go do some quests by yourself or take a break from the game. The stress will work itself out. Being the leader doesn't mean that you have to make everyone happy.

Have fun playing the game!

One of the ppl who were causing drama left the ls, or quit the game.. I dont know for sure... He was blaming me for everything that was going on in the ls, which I didnt even have part of.. Blah.. Anyway, I'm just glad he's gone.

I'm sorry to hear about this and even sorrier to tell you I don't think it is uncommon. I had what I thought was a great LS get torn apart when people started infighting. It was very sad and depressing. Best thing I can recommend is to try to hang on to your core group if friends and either rebuild or join a new group. Our LS broke, but the core remained and we started again, only to be better than ever.

Meanwhile, hang in there!

Thats for you're advice everyone ^.^ The few people that I care about leaving have already told me that they arent leaving until I leave too, so it looks like I'm just stuck with them. =) I love my guys, they rock. Do you suggest I hold a sackholder meeting to talk about the recent things that have happened, cause that's what has been on my mind.

Communication = teh good
Drama = teh suck

Why play a game for the drama? Lord knows most of us get enough of that in real life.

If you don't want to be a part of whatever LS drama that goes on, simply tune em out, it's what I do.

Thats MY style of handling things like this. You have to decide based on how your LS mates handle things. I always encourage open and honest communication, it just makes things easier in the long run, even if it is hard in the short run.

I would not just talk about what has happened, but ask everyone what they want to do at this point to move forward. That way everyone feels a part of the solution.

Good luck ^^

Ah, drama I know thee so well. My old LS (the much hated conquistadors for some bizarre reason) over constant arguing.

It began when our leader quit the game for personal reasons. Soon after another person I admired left. Without these people to look up to and keep the peace, things got out of control. Sackholders desparate to keep the fire burning invited people who many of us, umm, didn't see eye to eye with.

The bickering and aguing went from harmless resentment to thrashing out in spite. One member tried to come up with another LS for the rest of us to retreat to (why we didnt' just kick the problematic, I don't know. I know why I didn't, I'm spineless) However, lack of confidense in her leadership abilites ruined that, and now she holds us in cotempt, much to my dismay, I don't like others feeling ill of me. Well, it finally became too much, so I saught after sanctuary.

I turned to the ill-fated kingdomknights, but because I resent people who have the "I'm just not uber enough/I have 3mil but its just not enough" attitude, I turned to FatesHand. I really only joined it because a friend of mine was in it. But, alas, he has gone to another world... (World of Warcraft, damn it) I still have the pearl, but since there's really nobody in it I know, I'm far too timid to use it. All the LS's I've been in save my first and FatesHand, I've sat down and chatted with one or two members before I got in, and its much easier to know you're not chatting to strangers, but good friends.

So, I created a new LS hoping the old conquistadors would come back. That lasted like a week. While in rangumont pass, for what I can't recal, I was invited to TiersOfDarkness (after getting to know the group well ^^), my new home. I love those guys ^^. Bless your hearts for putting up with me *coughIarguetoomuchcough* *coughIcomplainalotcough*

About a month ago, I was cleaning out my moghouse, and I found something: Pearlsack <Conquistadors> I looked at it for a long time. I looked at my friendslist, and saw the names of those who hadn't shown under 'online' for too long. After shedding I tear, I finnaly let go. Item>Drop>Really dispose of the Pearlsack<Conquistadors>? ..........Yes. It was my first real 'home' in lakshmi. But now that I have a new home, I could finally let go. Sanura, your legacy will always be in my heart. I still keep in touch with whats left of us, but...

It's always hard saying goodbye.
