I kinda felt snubbed when Lumiin went off and made a linkshell without letting me know. It wasnt originally supposed to be for all of EC, either, according to him.
I wasnt even TOLD about it, or invited when I logged on. I was ignored too! I was on for at least 6 or 7 hours till I made my own. Noone told me about it even though Lumiin was on.
Yes, I said it was going to be put off for a little bit. Had anyone actually WAITED a day or two, things woulda been fine -- I came across about 13,000 gil myself, and others did too.
I find it funny that the blame is being placed on a few of us when others aren't innocent either. I didnt friggin enjoy being ignored by you all in the other linkshell. Noone said "Hey fal, come join the linkshell".
On other subjects:
Hell, not even a damn person has mentioned one word of fucking thanks for me trying to coordinate people to all be on the same server. Sure, I didnt world pass people over, but I was ready to if it was necessary. It ended up not being necessary so it wasnt done. Yet I get bitched at for not doing it. For not giving up everything on my character in the early levels to help YOU ALL have it easier. Had I not said anything, ECers would have randomly gravitated towards their own servers. But I put forth the effort, try to coordinate people to all play in one place. I did this because i THOUGHT it would be fun to play with "friends". Yes, I put friends in quotes there. Why?
Friends don't stab other friends in the back. Thats why. I thought you all were my friends, so I did this for you all. NOT ONE OTHER DAMN PERSON STEPPED UP TO TRY TO DO THIS. Let me repeat that. NOT ONE OTHER DAMN PERSON. Noone told me about Lumiin's linkshell, I had to find out about it through the grapevine. By the way, You all formed before us, so don't try to give me shit about that.
But most of all, when one friend helps another, people generally will say "thanks" once in awhile. At least a few will be grateful. But were people? No. I just got bitched at for not doing everything perfectly. I didnt post the fast way to randomly create either, nope, didnt help there. I didn't organize people and suggest we all go on one server, nope, that wasnt me!. Hell, I didnt even get people to all go to the same kingdom, or at least try to. Funny how we were all there at first, and a few of us that decide to explore get bitched at for it. Damn us for trying to have fun with the game!
So you know what? This is the last time I EVER try to organize anything again. EVER EVER EVER. You all wanna know why I wasnt on all last weekend? I got tired of the stress from this.
People seriously dont know how far one word of thanks can go.
Next time, someone else organize this. Someone else put up with the stress, the grief. The being bitched at for picking a kingdom people didnt want to go to because of people deciding to change races. The being bitched at for picking a non fresh server. The being bitched at for not world passing one person when 10 others didnt world pass on.
AFTER you all have put up with that, maybe you'll understand why I'm so damn frustrated that someone came in, took my work, and decided to make their own linkshell out of it and not include me at all. There is an in game messaging system, why wasnt i left a message? Why wasnt I PMed here on the boards?
And no, I'm not trying to get you all to let me join now. I'm actually happy right now with people I can call true friends, people that I know won't stab me in the back. You all enjoy your little linkshell, I hope you have fun.
I asked why it's hot pink when I thought it was going to be green, too 
And for the record, if someone is out there and they think I'm ignoring them, I am not. I added like, 9 people to my friends list the first time I logged on (the first nine I found on the threads), and haven't added anyone since then, 'cuz once I started playing I couldn't stop! It's madness! Madness I tell you!
I no ignore da fally

Please don't make it sound like I maliciously robbed you of your people.
When you were posting, before this area was creating, You made it very clear you would be bringing people you trusted, and only people you trusted would be let in your linkshell. You did not know me then, and I never would have expected you to invite me and the friends I wanted to be in a linkshell with, that know nothing of EC.
I did thank you for attempting to get me in the loop of worldpasses so I could play with Ferret. I still do thank you for the offer. Thank you.
I created my hotpink linkshell for my RL friends, and thier friends. Ferret happens to be one of them, and the only person I really know on EC. Except Ledd from Planetside, and Kegwen from EQ. Everyone else I am meeting for the first time, and they are all very pleasant and fun to be around. As for not contacting you, I had no idea that any, let alone the amount of people that joined my LS, were going to join at all. I didn't feel a need to ask your permission.
Please don't make it out to seem like I personaly tried to attack, or steal your hard work, or something in any way.
If you feel the need, or want to join Fals Linkshell, be my guest. I will understand, and won't take it harshly. Anyone who leaves, I enjoyed your company, and thank you.
Everyone is also welcome to stay.
And I wanted people I trusted to be in the first batch of people I brought on the server if I had to world pass them. There were, like i said, a few people that weren't going to be guilded. Thats it. And as I said, they knew who they were.
If you created it for your friends, though, why didnt you state that? Why did you even have anyone go around randomly inviting ECers?
Like I said, oh well. I've had enough grief over this whole situation, and I'm done with it. I'm ahving fun with close friends, and thats why I'm playing here. I hope you have fun with all the people you are talking to also. thats what hte game is about, having fun. I'm done worrying about it.

That's my fault, not his. I randomly handed ECers pearls whenever I ran past them and since I hadn't seen you around since the first or second day I hadn't seen you to hand you one. I never check my friend's list so I didn't see you when you were on.
Eumin only invited me, his friend Wadaf, and one other person to my knowledge. He never specifically said "Invite all the ECers", I just handed the pearls to people I like that I ran past. [ 11-06-2003: Message edited by: Ferret ]
I've been soloing up so I could actually have some use for you guys.
I'm also still sorta getting used to the various ways of contacting people aside from in-game tells so... there's my 2 gil.
You told me you could handle it and not to worry. This isn't handling it.
Being a leader means you make lots of personal sacrifices for the greater good of the people you're leading and NOT expecting a word of thanks for it.
And I did talk to you about the linkshell and am still waiting for you to make yours, it's just nice to have some kind of global chat in the meantime.
Also, in the meantime, I was fully intending to get a linkpearl to you -- but I've yet to see you online since like the first day.
Being a leader is a LOT of stress and a lot of hard work, but the efforts do pay off. People respect you when you succeed and they know you're not sitting around with your thumb in your ass. And seeing everyone working together after you got them there is it's own reward.
Fal, you're acting like a spoiled child. I don't know what else to say to you right now.
That doesnt mean it wouldnt be exceptionally nice.
I made this post last night while Frustrated. While I do feel some of it still does hold true, I should have been alot nicer about how I said it.
Bajah, you're right. Maybe I just wasn't really cut out to be a person to organize a guild like this. Noone is perfect, you have to try everything once.
Yes, I made a mistake in how I handled this last night ya'll, I'm sorry.I'll still, if you all want, join up with the linkshell you all are on so we can still chat, but the one I made, I plan to keep fairly exclusive. I don't want things to get out of control, and want to surround myself with people I know won't stress me out, if you will. I'm sorry
I never saw you online, and apparently I'm not alone. Maybe you would have gotten an invite if you were. I wish I were seeing a little bit more maturity over this. You know exactly how you'd react if somebody else were in your shoes and you had to watch this, and I think I do too.

I joined Eumin's linkshell because they're the only people who actually took the time to say hello to me. I felt welcomed by them, so of course I'm going to join their shell. They really actually took the time to talk to me and not treat me like I had some communicable, fatal disease.I never saw you online, and apparently I'm not alone.

Like I said. I made a mistake in how I reacted, I'm sorry for that. I shouldnt have been as hostile with that post as I was. I'm not gonnna delete it or anything though. I did something stupid, I'm not covering it up.
I didnt talk to people because I wasnt on all last weekend due to being overly stressed. Because of the game. Because of having so much to do IRL on top of that. I was getting to be, well...mean...in game, and didnt want to keep acting that way so I just didn't play all weekend while I tried to cool down.
I have been on pretty much all Monday, tuesday, and wednesday night, though. From about 7 PM till about midnight, each night. I guess I'm just hurt that noone tried to contact me here on the boards and say "Yo, fal, come get your linkpearl", or noone posted on the boards about the whole linkshell thing. I guess my frustration is coming more from feeling excluded than soemone else just starting their own linkshell.
It pretty much came to a point where I looked at things, and saw this was much more stress than it was worth. I've got enough in the way of sources of stress right now in school, and I didn't need another. I looked at things, and remembered what others had told me a bit ago -- I need to do what I need to do to ENJOY myself while playing this game. So thats what I did.
And no, I really don't talk much lately when I'm in game, mainly because I'm extremely busy -- I only have a few hours a day or so to play lately, so I'm trying ot catch back up to Addy, Batty, and them. When I solo, I don't have too much time to actually chit chat in between, else I'll miss healing myself when I need it or something, that would be bad. Very bad.
So, I'll say it again, everyone. I'm sorry for making this mistake. If ya'll still wanna be friends after myself being stupid about that post up there, thats cool, but I wouldn't expect it after what I said. I really do hope you all have fun with your linkshell thing, though. I'm not being sarcastic or anything with that. I screwed up, and couldn't manage to organize everyone like I had hoped to. I'm not gonna break everyone apart now, though, when they have already come together. [ 11-06-2003: Message edited by: Falaanla Marr ]
I personally dont care. If it falls apart, it falls apart. I'll either play or not. I'm not really sure anymore. Right now I'm just playing, and letting things go as they will.

Drama! But its been solved. No drama. But there's been no group hug yet! I call for a group hug, with Fal in the middle getting squished.
And I miss you too fucker!
Been wierd with no Talonus around... I dunno why, I think I got overly attached to always seeing your name in my group.
You get real busy lately? Hadn't seen a post in here by you lately either. Hope everything is squared away for ya. I know some of the others like Bajah have major work schedules kicking in. [ 11-06-2003: Message edited by: Faelynn LeAndris ]

Verily, Talonus doth proclaim:
Huh me? Oh, um school takes precedence over games. My Monday and Tuesday are heavy on classes this semester, so I can't play much, if at all, on those days. I'm trying to make up for missed time now.
Figured it was something like that. Wasn't sure if it was school or work. But its still weird not seeing Talonus in my group list. I think I've been grouped with you every day of play so far at some point. So was curious.
You can have multiple linkshell pearls! You just have to equip the one you wish to talk over at that time!

Yo, fal, I wasn't either. No message, PM, or anything. Bajah just walked up and handed me a pearl.
It's fully possible you just fell through the cracks.

I think we all know that, its just that when you have one on, you cant hear the other one at all, which kinda defeats the purpose :/ I can understand having one for a small friends chat channel and one for a huge guild type thing thats for raiding, or something. But if you can only have one LS chat at a time, I dont want ot have one on and miss something in the other or something.
That, and I really dont like that hot pink color

That's why I ignore the little fucker. 
Where did everybody go, anyway? San D'Oria? Bastok? I'd love to know, since half the time, my entire friends list is in zones I've never heard of..

There's a lot still in Windurst. Most are moving outside the newbie area though.
And so far noone's invited me either, although I have no idea how long the linkpearl has been up.And suddar, I think I sent you a tell as well, dunno tho /shrug. [ 11-06-2003: Message edited by: Yummy™ ]
