LordoftheBeasts LS and The Aquarious....StolenFollow

I find it extremely sad that people can judge an entire LS/Class based on the actions of one or two people.

If a person of <insert color here> steals your wallet/purse, are all people of <insert same color here> thieves and crooks?

I'm sick of checking this forum, and seeing these posts. Some of you people need to pull your head out of your *** and grow up. I'm sure if asked in RL if you were racist, you'd say "Hell no" but when you log in to the game, you have no problem judging/flaming an entire class of people based on the actions of the minority.

To the OP: Nice first post. You claim you posted because "you heard about what they did with serket" If you would have followed up with some research (on this very same board, mind you) you would have seen that that subject was pretty much dead and taken care of, and was basically a misunderstanding.

PS: {paragraphs} {can I have it?}

To Osyrus: I've never had a problem with BSTs, they can be very powerful, and very helpful in many situations. I just hope that you were just venting, will take a break, and continue being the helpful person you are.

Just my $0.02

I agree that basing the actions of a few people from one class is kinda dumb, even though it does happen (DRGs are useless, DRKs are childish, RDMs are arrogant, BSTs MPK, PLDs always take their helms off in cities, etc., etc.).

However, when someone is wearing a linkshell they represent that linkshell. Their actions reflect upon the linkshell and all of the other members of that linkshell. If they MPK or steal NMs/HNMs without the rest of their linkshell saying that is wrong and demanding they stop then it would appear that that linkshell does not condemn these actions, and may even support.

Basically, a linkshell is the sum of its parts. Everyone in a linkshell should remember they are part of a linkshell and the other people in that linkshell may suffer due to their actions.

Two things:

1. Paragraphs are your friend

2. All that and not one name of the accused? Was my whole LS magically up in the tree? I smell BS, and you have two posts... You're a lying piece of ***** sock! Leave now!

I agree with that, IF everyone knows what happens, and doesn't say or do anything about it.

What if they MPK/steal and the rest of the LS doesn't know about it?
What if it's just a misunderstanding or an accident?

I think we should all just Ballista :p that would make this more interesting.

As for "Its just a game" Its funny how people play that card when it suits them.When you spend hundreds of hours doing anything it becomes more then a game.

The facts are your ls stole Skerket then days later some of your ls members steal AQ while there is a big dif between the 2 the princple remains the same.You say im sorry about the whole skerket event then days later one of your ls members go ahead a steal another NM ><.It has nothing to do with the job bst........It has everything to do about stealing.I don't care if it was a bst pld rng rdm whatever the fact is within days your ls is going around stealing nm's.You guys just happen to be all bst.Now all of you in LOTB think some of us are racist lmao.

Just bc someone else has stolen an NM for you guys before doesn't mean its right to go steal a NM from anybody else.

Both krystm and the other rdm are both in my ls and i was on teamspeak with Krystm when all this happened i got a verbal play by play.

Though i don't think its right to condemn a whole ls on the actions of a few it did take 15 of you to kill skerket and then there was 4 of you guys at AQ.I'm sure some of your members are perfectly nice but your ls as a whole looks pretty damn shady to me atm.Even if one or 2 of you backed of in the attempt of doing the right thing to give AQ back the fact remains some of your ls members went ahead and finnished him off.Step up and take control of your ls man or change your ls's name to Lord of the Filth.

You can say [I'm Sorry] again and again but actions speak louder then words.

See whats Great About Alla's Site is that They Dont Have the All Powerful when you signed up for the Account and what Not. Who the hell cares how many post's I've made? You Say nothing about the content of what I Posted just that Paragraphs are my friend and that I'm Lying.
(Insert New Paragraph Here)

So let's see, You post nothing relevant to my post, Say I just created my account and then I look what LS you are in... Lowe and behold...LotB. I just think your Pissed casue your getting a bad name. So what I didn't name anyone does that make me look bad perhaps. But lets ask a question about the Real world.
(New Paragraph)

Story Time...
You work for Company X let's just say McDonalds I'm Guessing that's Pretty close to home right? You wear a Uniform. You Represent the Company when you wear it. You go out and lets say beat down some guy at a Bar casue you seem like an angry person. Your Still in your Uniform. Now you just gave the company you work for a bunch of bad pubic attetention. Company gets a lot of heat... Hmm How this sounds familiar...... LS's Work a bit like the Real world.. One person does something bad the Whole Company (Linkshell) Gets a bad rap..... Think about it .... if you can.

Osyrus was pulling some intimidation crap like a little baby last night, running around my PT camp in Qufim with Kraken in tow on his BST. We all know what that usually leads to. He didnt do it, but Im sure he was trying to scare my PT.

key word is "generally," sacks are given out quite readily so this assumption is not valid in this instance
-------
sadly, my pearl was still in the mog house during the serket incident and i passed out for AQ and so i rightfully can't chime in on a whole lot more on the issue specifics at hand. bringing up serket is not entirely relevant though, unless the accused offenders were involved in both AQ and serket, but since they are unnamed, i do believe that to lack relevant. it stands to show no history if it was not the same individuals.
-------
keep in mind the following ... this is not an HNMLS

there are high level players within it capable of grouping and killing HNMs but this is a job related LS

you don't have to fill out some silly application to be in it (i still think that is retarded, but that's just laziness and stems back to days refusing to fill out college applications that wanted too many essays)
-------
while the fact holds true that most people will discriminate against a group when they experience something negative based on the actions of a few people treated as "representatives," those "representatives" are not appointed as such in any way

the person discriminating is doing so based on personal assumptions

anyone foolhardy enough to blacklist organizations based on an isolated experience is simply over-generalizing

experiments are run multiple times for the sake of coming up with a result free from random occurrences ... if you choose to generalize based on fluke occurrences, you have flawed results

same holds true with individuals
-----
on with the poorly formed mcdonalds analogy
some ****** in a mcdonalds uniform cold-***** me in a bar, do you know what i'm thinking? not that mcdonalds is bad ... i am thinking an uneducated ****-monger that can't do anything more with himself in life, is forced to work at mcdonalds, unjustifiably cracked me one

be damned if i am going to give up that fillet o' fish sammich and think badly of the organization as a whole ... that would be incredibly foolish

i can't sue the organization for assault, i can only bring criminal claims against the **** that hit me (unless the altercation occurred on mcdonalds premises, then i might be able to file suit against the organization as a whole, but i would only be doing so because the legal system would allow it and i would probably stand to make easy money from it, not because the entire organization is at fault) the poorly formed real life analogy clearly states this did not occur on work premises

for vengeance, i would do my best to find the individual owned franchise and harass said employee there, just because it is within my country given rights to do so ... i can choose to be a **** in retalliation to that individual, but i cannot unjustifiably bring my fight against the fine establishment that one ray crock (the founder of mcdonlads) established oh so many years ago
--------
also ... negative publicity will always stand out more than anything positive
i've raised so many random people just running around, saved PTs from links yadda-yadda ... lent out money... given out money... helped randoms with LBs ... whatever
no one says crap about that ...

the news is full of negative crap because people like drama ...
--------
lastly ... and to me, most importantly
your is not the same as you're
there is not the same as their or they're either
