I don't... really feel like that is a very accurate portrayal of the events that occurred, nor do I really feel that my actions have ever shown me to be in favor of causing grief in unfair fights. I was told that we ultimately pulled out of Voss because we did not want to 'elevate hostilities,' which was a bit of a shocking response to me, especially after I had gone back during our initial withdrawal to keep Anamodiel from being ganked by superior numbers. (I would also like to point out that by the time we attempted our first pull away, we already seemed like gankers to a few people; I spent a while arguing with a few members of Reign who tried to stop the other Sith from ganking me over that. Some misunderstanding will always be inevitable, I think.)

On reflection, it was a response that made sense from a certain point of view; but it is not the attitude that I was hoping to see. At my core, while I enjoy PvP, I do not particularly enjoy World PvP; however, I was very proud of my Furious Angels tag, we had made a very big show of insisting that the planet was now safe for the other Republic there, and I felt that the end result was it looked like us running and not putting a good acquittal of ourselves as relentless defenders when the potential broke out for a guild-versus-guild thing with Reign.

I certainly got to eat a lot of insults from the Imperials who camped me stating exactly those things, especially with regards to the IC comments we had made about how we were defending Republic players there.

I want to emphasize that I understand Anamodiel's point of view (I am sorry for shouting at you that night, by the way, Ana; I sent you my apologies separately. Heat of the moment, pardon), but it is not the response which I was hoping for. You all are some amazing PvPers - Fuse, you in particular have stood out to me in our few matches as having a particular gift at coordinated asskicking - and some great people, and I would also like to take a moment to commend Longboard for having returned and stayed with me in contravention to the rest of the operation that had been assembled, but that night sort of cemented for me general concerns I'd been having about my place in the guild.

I gave it a few days to think it over so that I would not do anything particularly rash, and then I still felt the way I did.

So you see, it's not about the amount of level 50s we have, or about how many warzones we run (because I often did run those alone, Trushott's quite right), or that I wanted to sit there and camp lower level Sith. Please don't insist that it is any of those things.

Well, I'll do my best on that front. It's what I do. Once we're all settled in, I'm going to start working on RP stuffs straightaway.

The forum polls I saw largely had a slight Republic tilt until recently, but the guild census was always showing a 3:1 Empire:Republic bias. Just weird to see it actually in effect.

Kinetic/Balance Tanking Hybrid.

Welcome to the three of you. Especially my most lovely counterpart.

I'm finally back... been crazy. had a conference this weekend, got sick, have a deadline for my other job...

I'm not sure. He actually cut about half of my comments. I guess he only picked the responses he thought made for the best reads. (I did come off like an advertisement on the guild questions...)

It worked in Chrome for me, Don.

Fuse - best solo honestly would be Sage since you can heal yourself, however your 1st companion can tank which makes Shadow viable as well for soloing.

Better than a Tank Shadow? It's like all the advantages of paladin + rogue leveling....

Balance reminded me more of an Aff. Lock from looking at the talents.
